Landmines kill indiscriminately - that is exactly the problem with landmines. An autonomous weapon in this context would be something which can analyze a situation to some extent and potentially decide not to kill. The comparison adds nothing to the debate other than a knee-jerk emotional response.
No they really mean roll-back, as in a transaction.
1. Get access to PC which has access to banking transactions. 2. Install malware on PC which automatically rolls back ATM transactions with a particular signature (probably matching some stolen or duplicated bank card) 3. Go to an ATM and simply withdraw $500 over and over until the ATM runs out of money.
The ATM allows it because due to the rollbacks the balance of the account hasn't gone down.
3. Voter disenfranchisement? Like putting black panthers with nightsticks outside of polling stations? ID to vote is common place in most western civilized countries.
Indeed it is. PHOTO Id isn't though. The US Gov does not require people to have any more ID than a voter registration card. It is fundamentally unconstitutional to require anything else. There is NO voter fraud - this is simply not a problem in current existence.
Up north the Conservatives pulled the same bullshit in our last election, and thankfully they still had their asses handed to them. They actually implemented increased identification requirements which mostly affected the poor, spouting nonsense about massive voter fraud. Meanwhile the government agency which actually oversees elections was repeatedly asking for the evidence, because they actually have the data and it doesn't show any fraud. Ironically there were a number of cases of political campaigns violating the Elections Act. Sadly all the ridiculous changes rushed through in the last two years means the Liberals get to spend most of their first year in office undoing the damage.
1,000 KM of solar panels to provide power for 5 million people does not sound like an experiment. It sounds more like a huge infrastructure investment using a technology that currently has only been implemented at a length of 100 meters on a pedestrian/cyclist pathway, and that implementation was done by a completely different company with a different product. Surely just a few kilometers would be more appropriate for an experiment. I would hope they are implementing the project with a drawn out introduction phase that will test the product at a much reduced scale for several years.
Because you opted in to seeing ads on social media, simply by signing up for it. When you sign up for an email account from say, Google, you are not providing consent to Amazon to send you advertisements even if your friends really think you want something.
On the other hand, it shows the power of multinational corps - they're above the law.
If they were really above the law, they probably wouldn't already servicing these police requests (which they are), and they probably wouldn't be in court fighting against having to do it in the future.
The crash scene, the agent jumping between cars, the fight with multiple Agent Smiths, pretty much every scene that had a CGI'd Neo in it. The multiple Agent Smith fight was so awful - it was a huge mistake to do the first half of the battle with actors and the second half with CGI.
They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.
An accurate representation of what he said was "some illegal immigrants are criminals", which is true simply by the law of averages, with the implication that if they went through a vetting procedure we could perhaps filter out the criminal portion.
I agree that Trump has been misrepresented by the media on a number of things, particularly the muslim registration thing, but the statement by itself does seem generalize mexican immigrants as rapists, and only some of them happen to be good people. Otherwise it would have made far more sense to say "They're good people, but some of them are rapists" - but that doesn't quite invoke nearly as much fear. Maybe he misspoke, but given all the other stuff coming out of his mouth it really seems to align with his narrative.
I would assume they are referring to something like this: Dominant_atmospheric_escape_and_loss_processes_on_Earth. Granted this states that current observations show it would take a trillion years, not a billion as stated, but it is valid scientific theory not science fiction.
It's seems telling that they mention Australia in that email, one of the few markets where they actually charge more for distribution of content than in the US. It boils down to: "We still have Australia by the balls in terms of content distribution and pricing, but Netflix is allowing Austalians to pay American prices for our content. American prices! We'll go bankrupt at this rate!"
Honestly, if people are willing to pay for a US netflix account, i.e. the price to consume content in the country where 99% of that content was created, isn't it pretty greedy to try and strong-arm people into paying more?
Relax. Even if they do this, DIY tutorials for disabling the smart controls will be available soon after they become mainstream. Just like iPhones get jailbroken within a week or so of an OS update, smartguns will be jailbroken fairly quickly - and it'll only need to be done once. Even Keurig failed to come up with a solid way to lock out competing k-cups when they had hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue at stake.
If you knock on my door and ask to use my phone, and I tell ok but only if you give me a handy, that's not forcing you to do anything and it's certainly not sex assault (yet).
Google his company, "mark-1 plumbing". Four images come up showing his company truck with a mounted gun. The first search result is a yelp review, the second his facebook page, and every other result after that is news articles about his truck being used by ISIS. I would say the set of people affected by this is any person who would use the internet to look up a company prior to hiring them and didn't care enough to research the full story because they are trying to deal with a plumbing problem.
The fact that this guy hasn't rewatched the movie since he was a kid implies he really isn't much of a star wars fan to start with - so why the hell would anyone care about his opinion?

"There's klingons off the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow..."
The result of Democratic municipal rule.
Even in Republican districts no doubt.
Isn't this why they are supposed to have "Game" clock, and not just use random timers from a video camera?

It's in the stupid green header bar. Still boggling at that design decision.

A project like this is NOTHING compared to the money spent on fusion so far
If they were proposing to build a fusion reactor along 1,000 km of roadway, we'd be hating on it just as much.
1,000 KM of solar panels to provide power for 5 million people does not sound like an experiment. It sounds more like a huge infrastructure investment using a technology that currently has only been implemented at a length of 100 meters on a pedestrian/cyclist pathway, and that implementation was done by a completely different company with a different product.

Actually, scratch that. It just means they love it even more when you pay online.
They expect you to pay it, and they love for you to pay it online.
Unless you live in Ottawa. For some reason the city charges a $1.50 service fee to pay a ticket online. They do not charge this if you pay in person.

That might be one use, but hardly the primary purpose, or even the marketed purpose of the feature.

It makes it harder to play the race card.
That's how development arrests.
