Because the judge ruled that the man's constitutional rights were infringed (the whole 1st amendment thing), the loser will almost certainly have to pay the man's legal fees. The man might be able to sue for other damages as well. I'm sure the news and intrawebs will be full of answers to this question soon.
Maybe we'll even see TV ads from lawyers that say, "Have you been fined for calling yourself an engineer? You may be entitled to a large cash award. Call 1-800-SUE-4MNY".
That is incorrect. Faraday cages do not require a ground and can be very portable.
A simple roll of aluminum foil would work. Just tear off a large sheet, wrap it around the phone and crimp the edges with your fingers. Done!
The aluminum foil would be quite effective at blocking the RF signals going to and from the phone, and it would also detune the phone's internal antennas, increasing the effectiveness even more.
It used to be easy to tell actual news articles from commentary and opinion. But no more.
How many news feeds distinguish between the two? How many news web sites clearly label an article as one or the other? How many readers even know the difference anymore.
Solve the labeling problem first and the rest will be easier. Of course, hard news -- without inflammatory opinion -- garners fewer clicks, so there may be no motivation for proper labeling.
A quartz crystal has excellent short-term accuracy, but lousy long-term accuracy.
Using the AC mains as a frequency reference works well if the power companies handle things correctly: during the day when demand is high, the mains frequency is not well-controlled and the clocks drift slightly. However, the power company is supposed to keep track of this, using some other precise time reference, and then adjust the mains frequency at night to compensate for whatever got screwed up during the day.
When done right, this results in excellent long-term accuracy for clocks that use this method, because the power companies handle all of the necessary corrections. But without the right corrections, AC mains are a terrible frequency reference.
You don't want to build large structures in near Earth orbit anyway. Tidal forces would require substantially stronger structures than would be necessary farther from a gravity well. Also, even the small amount of atmospheric friction there would require you to periodically boost your structure back into a higher orbit, and the fuel cost for large structures would be prohibitive.
I had minor surgery a few years ago and they used propofol as part of the anesthesia.
I woke up feeling amazingly refreshed and relaxed. I can kinda see why Michael Jackson was using propofol every night... until it killed him.
Physicians like to too because of its memory blocking effect. There's less chance of malpractice suits if your patient can't remember anything, even from right before and right after the surgery when they aren't actually unconscious.
The lasers have gotten too efficient. There used to be enough waste heat to keep the sharks from freezing, but not anymore.
This is another unintended consequence of the environmental movement demanding energy efficiency, but not considering everyone who would be affected by their policies.

This team has also been fooling proctologists with rubber poop.

No wonder our cities are such disasters. It's deliberate!

This shows that the FBI doesn't need to force key escrow or any other form of weakened encryption on the public.
If they really want the crypto keys, they can get them.
So I'll have to walk out to the curb to get my delivered food?
I thought technology was supposed to save me all that physical effort.
He'll get legal fees and maybe more.

Wouldn't leaving it off truly use as little energy as possible?
Most physicists don't give much credence to the Copenhagen Interpretation. There are better ways to think about quantum mechanics.

Tardigrades do pretty well under UV.
If they ever decide to harm humans we're in real trouble.
Best to wait for Functional-Blockchain.
Gravity finds a way.
That's the important takeaway here. Even at crushing depths and pressures, gravity will still pull a plastic bag all the way to the bottom.
And Saudi Arabia. There's a multi-party power struggle going on in that region of the world, with active fighting in Yemen and Syria.
The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

It's very common and nothing to worry about.
It appears that they've already fixed the summary.
I'm guessing that it was more of a typo than an assumption. Here's the offending line of the summary:
> That's the conclusion that two socialists came to after observing seven hackathons over the period of one year, reports Wired.
Socialists... Sociologists... Sociopaths... so many words to confuse.
I know that the terms are not mutually exclusive.
