Are any such guarentees valid? What if it verbal guarentees vs written?
That's what the court is for. In other words, you may have to prove that there is such a guarantee or warranty if you are claiming that the other violates your privacy.
AFAIK, the theory has become that if you have given information, you have no guarentee of privacy - only an expectation and a possiblity (not guarentee) of legal recourse. Handing out personal information is thus a gamble on whether you were foolish or whther you benfited.
That just confirms what the GP said. Guarantee could be a "valid" contract. Whatever information you give to someone could be disclosed without being illegal if there is no contract. And you have to be able to prove it regardless how the contract is being done.
- What if you have signed a contract to allow recording of yourself behind closed doors, aka tv show "big brother"? Such things can be written into contracts easily - it can be difficult for the average person to know what should be allowed and what should not, as well as what cannot be signed away. Harder still when rules can change.
Again, if you can prove that the contract is invalid, then the contract is null and void. Even though what you said could be written in a contract, anything can't go beyond your constitution right. In your example, recording video or audio of you and others watching the show 'big brother' would violate your privacy, but recording how you watch the show (time-wise or switching channel) very unlikely violates your privacy. Nowadays, big corporations, such as cable companies, would know exactly how to word their contracts. The only choice you have is to determine whether you want to trade in your information for your convenience (in this case is entertainment). You have to make a decision. Different people see privacy in different ways.
- How do you prevent companies from writing sale of information into their contract? The idea of "go somewhere else" is fine until all of the providers do it.
Actually that is the way corporations do nowadays. This kind of situation could lead to a class action, and then the court will decide whether or not they can do it. Again, if you think certain information of yours is private, then a certain number of other people must think the same in order to pursue the rest. Until you can convince enough people to think the same, the information is not private.
Not only that, the time starts on the filing date, and let assume that there is no extension (e.g. delay issue created by the USPTO side) and they will pay the due (fees) for the whole time of the patent if it is granted.
Tinfoil? Really? If you give me (and others) a reasonable answer on why would Russia wants the guy with a charge for only $3,450 bank transfer fraud? Why would he be very important to them for that amount of money besides something else? It does not make sense at all.
Delay and uncertainty? Both companies have to agree and process paperwork for the H1B to leave the current employer.
Wrong! Stop spreading misinformation. The only employer who needs to agree to take the H1B holder is the new employer because the new employer must file for petition. There has nothing to do with the current employer -- https://www.murthy.com/2017/04...
However, practically, as GP said, there are loop holes that the current employers may do to interrupt/retaliate the visa holder (e.g. terminate the person and thus the person loses legal status). The law does NOT protect the visa holder in the case of waiting for the new approval to pass or arrive.
why should Southwest Airlines pay? and not boeing?
Easy... They hope that Southwest will go back to Boeing and get the money back if Southwest is charged. They don't want to go directly to Boeing because (maybe) they don't want to ruin their relationship with Boeing. However, I doubt that Southwest would do what they hope -- getting all money back from Boeing. I believe Southwest will get the money back from both Boeing and passengers because they now have a reason to charge more (or CEO would get less bonus due to the loss).
Why is "movement" involved in calculating a fare from a pickup point to a dropoff location? Surely this is done using a map. "Movement" makes it sound like fare calculation works by driving a physical dry run of the planned journey, over real roads but without a passenger, which is ridiculous.
“It sets the false GPS movement while allowing the phone also to keep track of its actual movement. The Uber app can’t tell the difference between both so it just calculates both.”
The movement calculation is for the route the driver takes from the start location to the destination. There is nothing wrong with calculating thie route because often times one may use a different route from the original route calculated by the GPS.
However, the part where the app accepts both routes (from Lockito and the other source) could be from their greed. This situation demonstrates that the multi-routing for the same start-end location is a problem that they have not solved. However, they take an easy way out which also benefits them -- accept all routes reported by their sources. This issue is their app developers' fault.
My iPhone 5 is still going strong. I have a 5S at home waiting to be formatted and put into service, but meh, the 5 still works.
When it comes to highly networked electronic devices, "strong" is not merely defined by functionality. It is also defined by support. I believe the iPhone 5 is a 32-bit platform, and support stopped at iOS 10.
But 5s has A7 chip which can run 64-bit, so he shouldn't have a problem because he has one.
The lawyer is stupid though. It doesn't take much to figure if you are both lawyers in the same town you MAY know each other. No email scanning required. Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't yet told me I may know Kevin Bacon.
I don't think you can say the person is stupid. However, you could say that the person has no understanding/knowledge of the "Internet" and/or today technologies.
If 5% of Amazon Prime members buy this Amazon Key- that's still 4.25 million users in the US alone (estimated 85million Prime Owners). I think they will make a profit off this. I personally wouldn't sign up for it, but sounds like this will be profitable to Amazon.
Assuming there are no law suits against Amazon later on, they may still profit. Or Amazon has sneaked in a clause where those who bought their Amazon key can't sue Amazon because they <sarcasm>legally</sarcasm> authorize Amazon to enter their home.
A full time student takes 3 or 4 courses. How is half the load draining? If you're a 20-24 year old, you can manage to do both job and grad degree.
No, that's a full time student who doesn't work will do at least 3 courses per semester in order to keep the "full-time" status. For those who work full/part time and want a full time status as well must do at least 2 courses per semester. And who in their right mind early 20s would have a functional job and go to grad school at the same time? They should either secure the job first and then go to school later (either by themselves or companies pay for), or go directly back to school and finish it before getting a job. Trying to work on everything at once could have higher failure rate (and most people are this way).
Well HR would look at your resume and add a little extra on top of that 10%, if you had a grad degree. They pay less for undergrads.
No, it all depends on HR and whatever company you are going to. If you are lucky, you may interact with a nice HR department. Most of them aren't anyway.
Watch less TV, drink less beer for 3 years and you're done -- grad degree. Side businesses take decades. Still most won't do this, because people are lazy.
Says they dismantled it, not destroyed it. When I think destroy I think explosives or baseball bats or some other violent end. Not somebody taking something apart.
To me, dismantle is the same as to destroy in this case because both actions cause the satellite to be in the same state -- unusable -- regardless how it becomes the state. If they have the satellite been dismantled, it meant that most if not all parts are now gone. Nobody would keep all parts after dismantled it a year ago. Thus, it is similar to the word destroy because you can't assemble or rebuild again within a normal time frame when all parts have already been ordered and/or delivered.
Why would he intercept exams and test questions if he could just change his grade directly anyway?
Give it to other students? Read TFA... For him, he doesn't study it himself anyway so he just changed his own grade.
* A student identified as A.B. in court documents urged Graves to use the keylogger to steal an upcoming test, saying “I need 100 on final just to get B- at this point.” Graves’ reply: “Or we could use the time to study?”
* A student identified as Z.B. asked Graves whether he had told a classmate “about the Hand of God on that test.” Graves’ reply: “No. The less people know the better.”
If they wanted to test the accuracy of their satellite analysis, they should be running it on planes on regular flights. They can calculate a plane's position at certain times based on similar satellite ping times, then check it against the plane's actual flight path. Do it enough times and you can figure out just how accurate the methodology is.
You shouldn't need to test the satellite's accuracy until you ensure that you have an accurate way to find the location. In other words, what you should be questioning is the accuracy of data analysis (look at the quote from TFA below). The satellite collected only the time difference when it pinged the plane. That would give you a uniformed error distance (if the data is inaccurate) each ping. Then you should calculate for the satellite's location when it pinged and received the signal. Sadly, these informations are not enough to pin point a location even with multiple points.
The DSTG used its computers to generate a huge number of possible routes and then test them to see which best fit the observed data. Their endpoints were pooled to generate a probabilistic “heat map” of the plane’s most likely resting places using a technique called Bayesian analysis.
What do you think you would get from a known location and the distance from the location? Of course, a line drawing into an enclosed shape (a circle in a smooth plane/sphere). However, there are 6-hour data (about 6 pings), so they could narrow the area down to a certain region from the movement. Yet, it is still far from accurate. Why? The problem is the satellite does not know whether or not the plane was sinking into the ocean while the data was being collected. If it was, then there are plentiful scenarios that can be used to explain the movement of the black box under the ocean, and that could cause the region calculation to be even more inaccurate.
To me, nothing can be done right now. We can predict or suggest what happen, but no one really knows. Maybe some days in the future, we would be able to.
But I still don't know why it is a news here... If the population of the country is 4x times the U.S. population, why wouldn't it be a surprise if their sale become higher at some point? Or they (phone companies) are trying to encourage Americans to own 2+ smartphone each now, so that Americans can brag about being the largest or second largest again?
There are a number of parameters missing here, like how fast. If a bot can solve a CAPTCHA %1 as fast as a human being, the utility of the CAPTCHA goes way down and the details of all this is lacking.
You would be right if and only if it is not on the Internet. Also, any site that accepts multiple CAPTCHAs in a short period of time from the same source is deserved to be compromised. That's why it is a random dumb luck as GP said.
Many of the fired worker because of bad performance were also pro-union? I'm so surprised!
Poor performance? That has to be proven. I would like to see both sides show their evidence before I make my conclusion (or assumption). Pro union? That could be a reason of discrimination from the company, but it could be a double-edged sword for the ex-employee to use against the company though.
Well, people are confusing machine learning with AI. Machine learning is a subset of AI but not at the level of AI. Sadly, it is all about advertising that turns the word into something bigger than its meaning nowadays. Thus, the meaning of the word AI is now reduced to just making faster decision on tasks that human can do. Would the decision be better? Yes, but not always because the computer based on what it is fed (input). Often time, it is garbage in, garbage out. The application is still limited. And for some reasons, I feel that the current imitation (to human) of learning mechanism, e.g. neural network, is not the right way...
Nevertheless, I believe that each step we are doing now on machine learning is a building block for the future. I just wish they (marketing people) don't exaggerate too much, and that could twist the meaning of the word AI...
It's working exactly as intended. Furthermore, from my understanding, Recent Posts first may not show all newer posts. The user isn't in control, Facebook is. Presumably, much of Facebook's AI is designed to keep users on site long as possible, keeping them coming back, and bringing in new users.
You mean that users have to look through all older posts to ensure that they have seen all newer posts? Then yes, FB' AI successfully forces users to be on their site for a long time. Not sure that has to do with coming back and bringing new users part though...
I really wish we'd go to Chip + PIN. We have the technology, and it's far more secure than the chip-only nonsense that we use in the US.
I don't use debit card and I never take cash out with my credit cards. I don't even know my PIN on my credit cards, so it is a very inconvenience way to do for me. Besides, how would I do the Chip+PIN at a restaurant or any other places where there is no self checkout/card sliding station? Do I need to go to the machine with my server and punch the PIN in myself? Or do you suggest that I give my PIN to my server? If so how would that be more secure than Chip+Signature?
Actually not exactly, VR can't replace all field trips. If the sole purpose of a field trip is to see the place and nothing else, then VR may be used to replace the field trip. However, some types of field trips need more than just seeing because you need to use other senses in the field trip, e.g. geology, climatology, etc. In other words, some field trips can be replaced, but some others can't.
It is important to note that immortalized cell lines are essentially cancer cells in culture. So while using the wrong line due to contamination hurts the direct usefulness of research, it doesn't render that research useless, because the data is still about whether or not the compound of interest killed cancer cells... just different ones than you thought. This sort of thing could be the reason that so many treatments that seem promising in academia fail to pan out when they move to industry with more funding for quality control.
I completely agree with your point. Even though the cells in researches were contaminated, it doesn't render those researches completely useless as long as they can identified what cells they were using in their research. If they could identify the cells they used in their research, then they just need to update the conclusion of their research.
However, the nature of science researches is to cite/refer to previous research results. That said, some (if not most) contaminated cell researches could become less useful to useless if the research is citing/using other researches that conducted on contaminated cells. In other words, whatever they have done in their research may not need to be done again because it might have been known/done already which results in redundancy. It is also very difficult and could be costly to validate those researches. As a result, dropping those researches and start from scratch may be cheaper (or a better way).
While I disagree with sjbe, this comment makes no sense. An automatic, non-overridable airplane mode is exactly what sjbe is asking for.
You don't get it? It meant that how the phone knows if the person is just a passenger in a long and boring trip, e.g. bus or train.
Also, airplane mode does NOT stop people from playing with their phone! Playing with your phone does not require cellular connection. Some (idiot) people like to play with their phone while driving regardless what they can do with it.
No, I'm not saying things aren't warmer. But I do think we're overplaying many current observations (in terms of where and how we're spotting weather conditions with unprecedentedly sophisticated modern tools and record keeping) as being "never before seen!" - when we actually mean, "since we started using satellites and doppler radar and storm chasing aircraft" or "since a few decades ago, because who can expect a panic to sound as good if we include things that last happened longer ago than the beginning of this year."
I think those who want to emphasize what has been happening to our climate are ruining the whole point of current climate status. And from what you said, the word "never before seen!" should have not been said because it is not true. Nowadays, the "fake news" is a thing, so people are very scrutinize and will eventually reject the climate issue as a whole because of that. This is a kind of stupidity from some groups that don't want to educate others about what is happening but rather try to advertise/promote themselves using the current issue (politic)...

I think those who want to emphasize what has been happening to our climate are ruining the whole point of current climate status. And from what you said, the word "never before seen!" should have not been said because it is not true. Nowadays, the "fake news" is a thing, so people are very scrutinize and will eventually reject the climate issue as a whole because of that. This is a kind of stupidity from some groups that don't want to educate others about what is happening but rather try to advertise/promote themselves using the current issue (politic)...
