Recall that copyright is automatic, compulsory, and retroactive. All existing computer languages that have not been explicitly placed in the public domain would be clouded. Ada might be safe, but I not much else.
Everyone arranges their affairs so as to minimize tax liabililty as long as doing so does not cost more than it is worth. The financial affairs of large organizations such as Amazon are complex and tax law is not a cut and dried objective subject and billions of pounds are at stake. Thus the tax returns of big corporations are always "under investigation". There is no news here.
"Designer baby" is just a buzzphrase. It serves no purpose other than to derogate people who might want to reduce the role of chance in the genetics of their children. It means whatever the speaker wants it to mean.
What the hell does this guy think he's talking about? The article is interesting but "designer babies"? "The fabric of reality"? Where do you people get this stuff?
Sounds like they're hypothesising that all the "dark matter" is actually made of planets, or did i miss something...
You missed the fact that the total mass of all these little objects is negligible compared to the amount of dark matter that needs to be accounted for. You also missed the fact that "Maybe it's all cold baryonic matter!" was the first thing the physicists thought of but when they went through the calculations they could not make the numbers work out.
If there is ever a real war between the USA and China there will certainly be attempts (some successful) at remote computer sabotage but there is going to be no "cyberwar" (though something may happen that will be so labeled).
Everything not compulsory is forbidden. Everything not forbidden is compulslory. Doing things without permission is a crime. Basic European law. It's the coming thing in the USA as well. California is leading the way.
Bullshit. "Right to work laws", execrable as they are, do not bar unions. They merely attempt to make it illegal to refuse someone a job becasue he is not a union member.
Not only should it be illegal for the feds to "ask" in this way, it should be doubly illegal for a business to comply with such requests without a warrant.
If the company is contractually obligated to keep information you provide to them confidential (this excludes Facebook et al., of course) it is breach of contract for them to answer such questions. It doesn't matter whether they disclose to the Feds or your brother-in-law.
He has a "right" to inspect whatever you choose to permit him to inspect. Employers know that if they asked to see interviewee's wallets they'd get indignant, angry refusals. If Facebook profiles are equally sacred why don't requests for them produce similar reactions?

Different issues entirely.

No it doesn't. This has nothing to do with infectious disease. The bacteria in question are thousands of species of soil bacteria.

Anything you don't put in the patent disclosure is not patented.

$10 million for the first contestant to get a chimpanzee through ed school. Or is that too easy?

No.

Then the interviewer learned a lot about you.
