Hmm...no. I know for a fact that they're going to get fined by PCI. PCI-DSS is in many ways like HIPAA: It gives vague details about how your network and servers should be secured, (for example it says networks should be "segmented" with no clarification at all if vlans suffice) and basically "do your best". If payment details get leaked, then guess what? You didn't do enough to secure your network, so have a fine.
Though PCI also has a reputation of being in the business of fining anyone who processes credit cards. If they don't have a reason to fine you, then they might create one by saying you weren't following one of their vague rules, even if there hasn't been a data breach. This is why a lot of businesses prefer to use a company like square to process the payment data. Best buy isn't one of those, however, because they store their own credit card data.
In sticking with Ubuntu naming convention, I think the proper name would be either Cybernetic Cunt, or if truly sticking to the convention by using an animal, Cybernetic Castor.
That's not why. Fuel was in short supply at the time, owing to reduced oil output (some of which was deliberately caused by OPEC, the rest was caused by wars in the middle east, especially Iranian revolution and Iran-Iraq war.) That era was marked by very long lines at the pump, thanks to a fuel price cap. The 55 speed limit was intended as a way to make everybody conserve fuel, and it also resulted in the death of the muscle car, and increased fatal accidents, which reduced as the speed limits went back up.
Pro tip: the higher the speed limit, the fewer the accidents. We saw this again in Wyoming after they implemented speed limits in areas that previously had no speed limit; and fatality accidents increased quite a bit. It turns out that the reason for this is that when people drive faster, they are more alert and they pay more attention to the road, as opposed to relaxing and getting highway fatigue. Also, there's been some research that shows that people will have their own (almost subconscious) ideas about how safe it is to drive on a particular stretch of road. One example they gave was that on a particular stretch of road, the limit was 55, but the drivers were always doing 68. So the city raised the speed limit to 65, and people were still driving 68. Often if you give somebody a straight highway where you can see very far out into the distance on a clear day, with no place for cops to hide, they'll drive around 85mph, and they'll go slower in bad weather.
It irks me when people who are in favor of gun control use this talking point, not only because it's incredibly wrong, but also gun control advocates are the least likely to understand anything about military tactics (and that's all that's needed here really; strategy is far less important than tactics in asymmetric warfare.) The existing guns we already have alone would be enough. Afghanistan is not only a smaller country with an even smaller population, but the ratio of guns per citizen is about 25%, whereas the United States has somewhere north of 100%. Sure, they're mostly concentrated among collectors, but if the military waged war on them, you'll find that they'd be more interested in arming their allies than keeping their collection simply to risk losing them to a dictator anyways. Furthermore, the cityscape of US cities is far different than Afghanistan: Far bigger buildings, which means far more and far better vantage points for snipers, and said snipers will be harder to spot, especially since they're much harder to spot by gunships.
And that's not even mentioning that it is the civilian force that builds almost all of the military's equipment, including guns and bullets. And yes, you can find people who make bullets practically everywhere, so the civilian population won't run out. Many just do it as a hobby, and many more do it by trade. I kind of doubt that bushmaster, colt, or any other military grade weapons manufacturer would side with the military, because they're about as constitutionalist as they get. Furthermore, all it would take is for colt or bushmaster or any other manufacturer to create military weapons for civilians.
The only way the military would win this fight is if the civilian population and the military were crammed into a very rural state with few cities, which is where organized and trained militaries are usually at their best, or, if the military decided to flatten all of the major cities in the US until there are none left with a population above 100,000. Not only would this be an incredibly stupid decision for a governing entity to do (they are essentially killing their own future, and making themselves open to foreign invaders) but the military would have to question the loyalty of servicemembers within its ranks, which also applies without them leveling cities. Think about it: Many servicemembers will have friends, wives and kids, extended family, etc in these areas. I really doubt they're going to want to participate in their deaths, especially given the way I know how the typical soldier responds to Jody (former Army here.)
IANAL but this is corporate law 101: The company responsible is always the company whose name and branding is on the materials that the company's customers interact with. There are many examples of case law confirming this, including a SCOTUS ruling.
CenturyLink's name and branding was plastered all over the materials used to purchase the service. CenturyLink's branding was plastered all over the billing statements. This applies regardless of whether the materials are physical or online. Either CenturyLink's legal team is as stupid and lazy as CenturyLink's employees, or the c level executives didn't bother consulting with a lawyer at all. This isn't even a crapshoot, it's more like driving your car into a wall and expecting that it won't get damaged.
In Canada, one can also go to jail if you say the wrong thing. They call it "reasonable" free speech laws. That, and technically Canada is still subject to the British Monarchy,
When you think about it, parliamentary systems were designed for constitutional monarchies. Having said that, the United States is literally the only country in the world where free speech exists. Seriously, it is. In the UK, the police get to decide on their own what qualifies as hate speech, which itself is derived from another EU law. It's like Herman Goering saying "I will decide who is a Jew!" and it is enforced just as selectively. When you think deeper on it, this is actually by sheer necessity, and is the inevitable result of slang that changes too quickly for any laws to keep up.
That's not my experience at all. I've been on the pro GMO side of this ever since I heard it was a thing, primarily out of distrust of food alarmists (there's enough bullshit about food to turn all of California, where these myths are the most prevalent, dark brown. My biggest peeve of the moment is that people actually think MSG is bad, but the opposite is actually true.)
The the worst offenders have all been Democrats. Their reasons are usually because they think GMO harms the environment (the opposite is true) they think it causes cancer, (false) they're on a crusade to make everybody eat organic (try finding an organic purist that isn't a Democrat. Vegans almost universally fall in this category as well, and try finding a vegan that isn't a Democrat.) Another reason it's usually Democrats is because of their very anti corporate stance, and/or they just hate Monsanto, not even bothering to consider that the technology itself is separate from the companies that employ it. The bill to ban GMO labeling was mostly supported by Republicans and mostly opposed by Democrats. Although Obama did sign the bill, in spite of his base labeling him as a coward for "caving to Republicans", and indeed many well known left leaning people here on slashdot were whining about their "right to know" about food's very immaterial GMO status every time that I told them the only purpose is to stigmatize it (i.e. labeling Jews.) Ironically, these guys want to know that more than they want information about material facts that manufacturers aren't required to put on labels, like the arsenic content of apple sauce.
But, if that doesn't satisfy you, then this should help:
It's all but guaranteed that if Bernie gets elected, and Democrats have a supermajority in Congress, (the later if which could likely happen, given the shit coming out of Republicans lately, especially with net neutrality) you can bet your ass that GMO would end up banned, which would be a huge setback for the United States.
The French don't need to worry about this, because it happens every decade or so: France is always super pissed that it isn't the leader of anything anymore, so it plays a game of "Yeah? Well, I'll make a better one, and you'll get so jealous!"
During the previous decade, it was all about a search engine they called quaero, because they wanted to have a better Google than the USA. A few hundred million dollars later, nothing happened, just like what will happen here.
Really, France is putting under 2 billion dollars for this. The private sector in the USA alone already spends hundreds of billions on this. You'd figure that with as hard as France taxes its people, it might have a bit more money to spare.
This company is expressly in the business of spamming. You know how I know it's spam? Because they hold a few thousand domains, which they actively use to evade DNS filters. This company probably isn't banning crypto because of a moral obligation of any sort, likely it's so they can safely remain under the radar of club fed.
I don't know if I'd count tizen. Tizen is an k-6 school project to see if they could design the most insecure mobile OS. Or at least it must be, because of how it's written.
Bullshit. The answer isn't GMO. The answer is in lowering the roasting or frying temperature.
The GE solution is already proven to work. The later does not fully work, and there often aren't any clear indications that it has. Furthermore, as a consumer, there isn't a very good way to determine just how cooked coffee is. Just for an idea, the current recommendation for toast is that you can eat light brown parts of the toast, but not the dark brown. To make matters worse, even if you control for temperature, you probably don't have the right equipment to make it heat uniformly in your home kitchen.
It's not a swab. A swab is good enough for a genetic profile, i.e. what police use to match a sample of dna to a person, but it's not enough for an entire genome without PCR, which would raise the price quite a bit. You're supposed to spit a lot of times into a tube until you reach a fill line (this isn't that easy to do since you have to not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes prior to starting. (I had to rely on smelling smoked peppers to keep producing saliva.) Then you close the lid, which is full of a preservative that gets perforated upon closing it, which you then shake a few times and mail to them. I got it for free as part of a study 23andme was doing.
Anyways, good luck getting enough saliva from a dog that hasn't had anything to eat or drink for 30 minutes. You might be able to pull it off with a very large slobbery dog, but there's going to be a lot of effort on your part, and I imagine it would be quite unhygienic.
That's one component of MANY required for x-ray imaging. A doctor I know wanted to perform x-rays in his own clinic, but the costs to do so approached half a million dollars. If, for example, this portable device emits radiation more on par with dental x-rays, then you could forego having to add lead shielding to the entire room. If x-ray equipment is ever moved, it has to be recertified (expensive) whereas a device like this may only need to be certified once, and/or the certification process could be much cheaper.
It's a property of the bean (actually a seed) itself, and it occurs from simply heating it. The same is also true of potatoes (exact same carcinogen as well) and an existing solution is genetic modification. Thanks to the organic lobby and Greenpeace's FUD campaign, you'll never see it on store shelves, however.
I imagine the same would be needed for coffee, unless you add another chemical process to remove it after it is already ground, much like you would for decaffeinated coffee.
You're talking out your ass here, because this would be illegal as hell, and if an insurance company made a habit out o fit, they'd be out of business. Lab results are PHI, which means they are only provided to your doctor (or you if you request them.) Your insurance company can't deny based on something it doesn't know anything about. If the lab gave your results to your insurance company without your permission, they'd have committed a HIPAA violation. The same is true if your doctor gave them your results. I know this because I happen to work in the health care sector. And, as a kidney transplant recipient, I get lab work done once or twice a week. 9 times out of 10, the results come back exactly as expected. Not once has the insurance company (optum) ever complained about it, and they don't even charge a copay. Furthermore, I've had lab results come back with a clean bill of health an insane number of times over my lifetime, not once was I asked to pay the bill. It's called diagnostic testing, and it's expected that results very often come back with no problem indicators.
Now, this isn't to say that your insurance company can't have the results. Sometimes they might ask for them in order to justify coverage of something, but YOU have to give your doctor permission to provide those details. Doing so without your permission is a HIPAA violation. I had to give my doctors permission to talk to my insurance company to justify them paying for 6 weeks of medical leave after my transplant..
Pork rinds aren't actually bad. They got a bad name because of the fat free fad of the 80s, along with the lard that is often used to cook them, which itself also has an undeserved bad name. The fat free fad has pretty much been debunked at this point (and suprise, saturated fats and cholesterol aren't either; incidents of heart disease increased exponentially the moment we started avoiding these.) If you already have any kind of heart disease, congestive lung failure, or kidney disease, you might want to avoid the salted rinds, but if you don't have any of those problems, then salt won't ever bother you.
Everybody's stock is falling after Trump thought tariffs would be a brilliant idea. By the way, slashdot mods who downmod me every time I describe how tariffs are a terrible idea...I told you so.
Duh... Most software developers aren't actual people. Actual people don't publish shitty, buggy, unoptimized code and call it a finished product. This is why even though Uber's sensors were able to detect this, the car still kept going anyways. They literally stole Google's tech, only they still can't figure out how to implement it.
Not sure the tech difference between iPhone fingerprint and nexus/pixel, but I do know that the later unlocks faster and more accurately than both the former's fingerprint and face ID. Face ID also seems to be susceptible to being unlocked by people related to you even if they don't look like you (IMO photo based methods are better because of this, but I don't use either.) Not to mention, face ID can't easily be unlocked discretely. A problem with Apple's fingerprint scanner is that it's a glossy surface (I can very easily see the ridges of my fingerprint after I've pressed it; lifting it with tape to replicate it should be easy.) My Nexus and Pixel phones use a rough surface, so I can't see the print, and I doubt it would be easy to lift either (*maybe* you could lift it with heated super glue, but you'd probably damage the fingerprint reader if you tried that.)
A layer 2 switch is a layer 2 router, even if nobody calls it that. But if you do you'll annoy the shit out of people. Spanning-tree is the routing protocol, it has administrative distances and route metrics, and it's smarter than RIP.
