I think your assumption about lack of sensitive data is incorrect.
Virtually all android phones have a Google account password that should be protected. Many (probably most) phones have other passwords, personal data, financial data, credit cards, and other information that needs to be protected. Really, the idea that all phones need to be encrypted to prevent loss of data in case of phone theft or similar event makes sense as a default assumption. It may not protect you against the various governments, but it will help protect you against common criminals.
If true, this would prevent all photography that could potentially include an image of all or part of a product, on the grounds that it could help someone duplicate the product. It's true that a photograph might help, but we don't accept that argument for any other class of objects [cars, buildings, the RonCo Inside-The-Eggshell-Egg-Scrambler, GMO wheat], and there's no reason to think that cooking is somehow special.
Also, I believe that once you begin talking about imitating manufacturing process, you're no longer talking about copyright, but about patents.
This is tough, but you need to hear it... It's not the industry. It's you.
You didn't lose an IT career, because you never had one. By your own description, you don't have control over the technologies that you've tried to use. I also notice that you didn't mention any business domain knowledge.
I could sugar-coat this and tell you that it isn't fair, but this really how economies have always worked. If you want a job, you have to bring something of value to the relationship. It is not up to potential employers to train you so that you can take their money. Face the fact that with less than 3 years of experience, no evident business focus, and weak technical skills, you rate as entry level at best.
Figure out what you want to do, learn how to do it, and find opportunities to use your actual skills. You may need to make tradeoffs and compromises along the way, so think about your choices carefully.Getting started is tough--I've done it more than once--but putting it off just makes it harder.
Last, if I was interviewing you, and you blamed your lack of success on the ethnicity of your co-workers, I would end the interview and not call you back.
I know it is hard to hear criticism, but I hope it helps. All the best in your search.
So this wouldn't apply to the sample food items displayed, for example, at sushi restaurants. These items are often visible from the street. What if I stand on the sidewalk and take a picture of the food served at an outdoor cafe?
How can you possibly contend that there is a trade secret revealed by the visible aspect of an advertised item? This is just a picture of an event that is occurring in public.
So if the meal is IP owned by the chef, and not transferred to me when I purchase it, then I suppose the chef has to take it back when I'm done with it....
First, in the candlemakers' appeal, the requst is to kill the competition. In the Uber case, the question is which body of law to apply. These are not parallel questions.
Second, Bastiat's appeal is fictional and based on satire and oversimplification to make a point; the Spanish judge's request is based in actual events and law, which are much more complicated.
2. Score reaches threshold, shopper is first denied any coupons (this takes a slight change in rules).
How is this going to increase revenue and profits? You're essentially telling customers that you don't want to do business with them. That will probably cause greater damage to profits than coupon fraud. For most vendors, it would be better to detect fraudulent coupons and reject them on a one-by-one basis, even if some percentage of fake coupons get through.
I'm not sure how to connect "virtually every adult driver in the U.S.," with "Its database grows by 2.7 million records a day."
That would amount only a handful of observations of each driver per year, average. Still a privacy violation, but not very useful if the interest is in building a model of an individual's behavior or knowing the individual's current whereabouts.
One of the risks here is that the system will seriously jeopardize individual privacy at the same time that no useful benefit will be created. This has the potential to void even the morally bankrupt "the end justifies the means" argument for the system.
It was called vocational education, and it prepared people for skilled blue collar work. The purpose-driven approach wasn't really geared toward a liberal education or to prepare students for self-determined careers, but it did prepare people to work in auto repair shops, to fix HVAC systems, and so forth. It is not clear to me how the Helsinki system will prepare students for university work in liberal arts, sciences without immediate/clear applications, philosophy and mathematics, and so on. I assume they've thought about it, but I don't get it.
As I recollect, Staples does huge business with small and medium companies, mostly on a delivery basis. Having been in their stores, I doubt walk-in customers are a large part of their revenue. One potential outcome here would be for Staples to close its retail locations (they suck) so that that the better-stocked Office Depot can handle individual/walk-in customers while the Staples brand focuses on the B2B market via internet & delivery.
That said, I don't have a good feeling about the decrease in the number of office supplies stores near my home, which WILL decrease my options.
Since changed DNA is located only in the portion of the exerciser's body that was used in exercise, it seems clear that the best approach is to provide frequent endurance training for the organs of reproduction. After all, the DNA in your legs doesn't get passed on to your offspring.
The rest of the family was scattered across Europe, North America, and Asia. We had about 30 people at the ceremony in North America, and nearly as many watching by Skype from around the world. It was a good thing.
You may or may not want this for yourself or your loved ones, but I cannot imagine why funeral directors-- craven, predatory businesses--would be entitled to an opinion on the subject. I'm also annoyed by the failure to recognize that many families and traditions cremate or otherwise dispose of the body, but of course this point exposes the argument about needing a body for the family to grieve properly as the nonsense it is.
This just seems like another attempt by the funeral industry to exploit grief for proft, hoping to find a way to extract a few more dollars (maybe by renting larger rooms?) from people that have already been bilked out the cost of "deluxe" caskets.
So you're proposing to replace torture with brain surgery? How is that better? Why would we think that the detainees would provide better evidence under surgery than under water boarding and hummus enemas? The interrogators still wouldn't have the means to evaluate the responses, and would just accept the answers that match their preconceptions.

3) Do the CPU fans spin in the opposite direction?
Well done. I tip my hat to you, sir or madam or whatever it is that lurks behind AC posts.
This is a false analogy for two reasons:
First, in the candlemakers' appeal, the requst is to kill the competition. In the Uber case, the question is which body of law to apply. These are not parallel questions.
Second, Bastiat's appeal is fictional and based on satire and oversimplification to make a point; the Spanish judge's request is based in actual events and law, which are much more complicated.
My God, will no one think of the fingerlings?

It should be a concern.
Yeah, but you can't normally get approval for research on humans just because "let's try it!" IMHO, this is a good thing.

I'm pleased to hear about this, because I've been considering a career change. Nice to know there are some new options:
DJ = Death Jockey -- provide color commentary
Emcee - Mortician of Ceremonies ("Hi, I'm Ebeneezer Grimsuit, and this is "Good Mourning America....")
...it's a very slow day at the office.
We had a death in the family. An older person.
The rest of the family was scattered across Europe, North America, and Asia. We had about 30 people at the ceremony in North America, and nearly as many watching by Skype from around the world. It was a good thing.
