Think I'd prefer to see an independant assessment of the data, rather than relying upon a statement from someone who has a record or misrepresenting the facts.
Exactly, it's down to the facts.
In such 'self employed' arrangements it comes down to what contracts were in place and questions such as what freedom the worker has to send someone else etc to determine whether they should be classed as truly self employed or not.
Aye, not the best choice.... especially when their idea of 'ground breaking' appeared to be to to try and break the ground by flying into it at low speed during a test flight;)

The initial test is only 50 kilowatts (not megawatts), with the ability to scale it up to 400kw.
Would be interested to know how long it takes to build up the gas reserve for that amount of power and how quick it can provide it.
If it has been declared a currency, then could that then trigger the same requirements for when trading in traditional currencies.... with anti money laundering requirements, proof of ID etc. Without looking at the details, I can see how this could well follow
As I understand it, this was your usual failure to use blind copy (BCC) when sending a bulk email. The HIV status of people was not divulged, only the email addresses of other recipients (not sure if this included the recipient account names as well as the address). The recipients were people who had used the clinic for some services.
4 cores, 2GB RAM, hardware video codec... and about half the price. Ok, it's not in a case and doesn't plug straight into the TV, but with its size it's easy enough to hide. At least I have control over the internal storage and can choose to use wired or wireless networking with it.

What would you pay for a Windows subscription license?
A $100 (or so) OEM copy of Windows installed onto my PC typically lasts around 4-5 years before I upgrade again (so 48 to 60 months). So, the starting price I'd be looking for would be about $2 a month / $24 a year! What's the betting that any subscription based model (if they went ahead) wouldn't be in that sort of ballpark?
The UK did something similar back in about 2010. I think this was after something like 50%+ of the high value euro notes were tracked back to being issued through a single inconspicuous (i.e. not commonly used by the public) back street exchange bureau, which was in turn linked to criminal activity.
Just think, you can stash maybe 10,000 euros in a single cigarette box using 500's. If you remove that note and fall back to say the 100euro note then you now need 5x the space or can only conceal a fifth of the value in the same space. The concealment & movement of money now needs to be scaled up to move the same quantity of money, which in turn raises the risk of someone being discovered. Getting stopped in the street you could hide a few 500's in a wallet which would easily be missed. In lower denominations you're now talking about wads of notes that are more noticeable.
Or are they trying to play it both ways?
The government argued that they can force companies with a US presence to produce data from servers located anywhere in the world. Therefore might one therefore deduce therefore that such servers would still require a warrant and therefore be illegal for them to hack?
They can't have it both ways (although they'll probably still argue that they can)
People have been predicting outcomes for years. There was a story a couple of months back about something similar.
And here's a link to a group that stated 75% success predicting the outcome prior to oral arguments, back in 2004 http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/4099370?uid=3738032&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21104566455723.
I can't comment on the relative academic merits of either though.
I've flown on some lightweight seats with Lufthansa on a short haul flight recently.
Even on a 2 hour flight, they were the most uncomfortable airline seats I've ever sat in. The seats were very thin, padding was practically non existent & the experience was more like being sat in a waiting room chair.
If I knew the seats when I booked then it would influence my choice of airline.
So, think we won't notice? I'm not so sure.

I'd be interested to know how this might size up to the new British heavy-lift airship, Airlander 10: https://www.hybridairvehicles....
I tried that, but 'password1234' wasn't accepted as a valid email address :-/

Move the items on the plate around a bit, then it becomes your own work or a derrivative work.

So, did Mythbusters beat them to it? ;-)
Good to see the article acknowledges that episode.
