If the charges are related to politics, yes. Asylum is regularly requested and granted around the world when somebody's government seeks to persecute them for unjust political reasons. Assange should have to go back to Sweden to face charges for the sexual allegations. The problem is that the US also wants to try him for not agreeing with the prevailing politics. What he is seeking is assurance that he won't be extradited to the US to face charges for operating Wikileaks
Car rental companies are pretty bad, but whenever you rent a car using any travel service they give you an estimated total that is always within pennies of what you end up paying so it's hard to argue that you're a victim of deception in that case.
Although I find nothing to disagree with in your statement, those who have shelled out a small-fortune for a Galaxy Note 7 may be part of a self-selected group that does care about other things. Otherwise they could buy something much cheaper.
Exactly, retail fraud (stealing a card) is such small potatoes that the financial institutions aren't too worried about it. Ship a new card and write off the loss. Not that they don't want to minimize this but it's small potatoes compared to wholesale card number theft that can run in the tens or even hundreds of millions.
This is essentially the same solution without the need to have a device. Granted it's not exactly the same in that you're using a rolling code instead of a PIN but it's more convenient as you don't have to have a separate device and the online merchant doesn't have to have special software to support it.
They are setting a price. You don't have to sell to them. But it gives you a starting point in negotiations. You could go to Apple and say you've found a remote jailbreak and the price on offer is $1.5 million but you want to take the moral high road so you'll sell it to them for $1.4 million. If they come back and offer you a measly $100k, you know they aren't negotiating in good faith.
Yes but I don't risk going to jail selling the exploit. So if I could find this, I'd happily take the $1.5 million selling it legally rather than risk going to jail in order to try to get more. Hopefully by selling it, it would actually get fixed. I'd prefer to sell it a bug bounty program administered by the vendor, though, so I don't have to worry about the moral consequences of the sale.
She knows that the Yahoo! products are so inferior to their competitors that they were barely hanging onto what users they had. So she took the gamble that probably had the highest odds. In blackjack, you always split eights. Not because you're in a good situation, but because 16 is the worst hand you can have and splitting is slightly less bad than drawing a card. Revenue can solve a lot of problems but Yahoo!'s is declining. Some ships are sinking so fast, it doesn't matter which bucket you bail with.
It's pretty well-known (among those who actually work on autonomous vehicles) that you don't even attempt to build something like the Tesla auto-pilot unless you have a (big, expensive) LIDAR system on the roof. Otherwise you stick to adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and emergency brake application. You certainly don't attempt to follow the contours of a road with such very limited sensor input.
Except that the discount you get from the crapware being preinstalled pays for the Windows license. So the cost of the product w/o the Window license and the crapware would be equal.
Yes, all of those things are true. But those organizations have a vested interest in protecting your data. Maybe not much of an interest, but they aren't adversaries.
People used to install the game, then return it, effectively stealing. The problem was actually rampant at the time. It's not rampant now because with digital purchases, you can track things like individual return rates.
With every other product in the world you have a refund period. Why should this game be any different? Is there a demo of NMS? I don't pre-order any games and if there isn't a playing demo download, the chances of me buying it are zero. But if a game really sucks, a refund is a reasonable solution. If somebody has bought dozens of games and only asked for a refund once, it's pretty fair to say that this should be the publisher's problem.
Indeed (I haven't played) the one thing that is interesting about this game is the (supposed) large number of unique worlds. Of course maybe they don't actually exist either. I'm not going to spend the money to find out.
For most of us, store credit and cash back are equivalent. Unless you are a one-time customer, you're going to buy another game in the near future so a store credit will work out the same. Hopefully the new Deus Ex game is good.
And the TOS certainly said that this could change at any time. In the US it's legal to be shady this way. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it's allowed. And I don't think there was much in terms of regulatory review of this deal where any explicit promises were made to government entities. I may be wrong here, but if I go double check I won't get a first post.
I don't think there was a change here. In many games as you level up, it gets easier to take on weaker characters. In Pokemon Go the higher level your trainer, the more likely the Pokemon are to break free. But I think this has been consistent since the beginning.
Both USB-C and lightning connectors can deliver bi-directional power. I would sure hope that a pair of lightning-connector headphones wouldn't need a separate battery!

No it's not, they just have to put a first-class stamp on it.
is about at the level that you can safely have a self-driving chair. Unfortunately, the technology isn't much more advanced than this.

You could get a battery case!

I so wish I had mod points. You should be modded up and the OP way down.

That's not entirely true. If your willing to use TPM, secure boot, and only run signed binaries, you have some level of trust.

Um, why do you keep buying them if they don't last?!
Which may be a big source of the turnover!
