They're "innocent" except they still have to reveal their trade secrets to competitors. Which will _never_ be used outside the discovery process. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Precisely - they do not respect his time outside of work, care that his job requires concentration, or that he may be an introvert or blessed with ADD.
Open plan offices work well for people who have jobs that require collaboration and not individual concentration. These jobs tend to be favored by extroverts who tend to occupy management positions because humans tend to favor the illusion of strong leaders.
They have a model that competes in that space, sure.
However, I'm typing this on an e430. Proper keyboard, non-glare screen, f-keys (OK, the F-key paint is secondary to the 'media' paint, buy they are marked). It has a trackpoint and hard buttons for the insane people who can use those and they work on Fedora just fine. Centrino wireless, mSATA slot for the SSD (128GB Mushkin in mine), DVD-R, removable battery. I've got 8 gigs of RAM in it. The BIOS even has a setting to put the control key back where it belongs. I got the one with the lowest-wattage i5 that has AES-NI and the whole rig cost me under $900.
Two things I would like: backlit keyboard, better resolution screen. What I don't care about: looking hipster at Starbucks.
It's actually because the espionage act defines things that "apparently should" be classified as protected under law too. It's a bad law, but it's not the same as ex post facto.
Our country got by without an Espionage Act for longer than it's had one. It may not have been perfect, but then perfect is hardly what we have now.
Repealing the Espionage Act of 1917 undoes nearly all of the major problems with the US Government. Heck, vacating the soviet-style revolution of 1913-1917 would fix most of what went wrong with this country.
He only got cold feet and started talking on his very last day.
Quite the opposite, I believe - he only found his courage on the last day. It was "do or die" day in soldier terms and he took the chance that they wouldn't shoot a President during his farewell address (or risk proving him right).
Every President that comes into office is threatened and changes his behavior (and campaign promises) to comply. It's notable that until very recently, they were all surrounded by men with guns from the money-changing department. Now they're surrounded by men-with-guns from the Intelligence apparatus, which appears to largely instigate low-level warfare on behalf of the money changers.
Great, so will the US then also meet EU polution standards? Or does this rule only apply when you like it?
We don't even have a mechanism to deal with this within the US. I live in western New Hampshire, right by the big hydro power plant. Aside from a few automobiles, all of our air pollution comes from elsewhere (and we have lots of trees to absorb pollution so we're probably a net negative for pollution in this area). Yet, when the heat of the summer comes and the midwest cranks up their coal-fired power plants, the smog builds in, our visibility goes to crap, and I'm buying a new set of contact lenses every week (or just switching to glasses if it's bad enough:shudder:). The low visibility hurts our tourism, because there goes the 200-mile views from atop the hilltops, and I'm out-of-pocket for the contacts (and who knows what the long-term damage is).
But just imagine the laughter of the "judge" throwing out our small-claims court cases against each of those coal-burning plants if we try to recover our costs that we incur to ease their expense ratios.
To answer your question - the rules only apply in 'the system' when it privatizes the gains and socializes the costs. The government tells us this is "for the common good". To the GP's point - that's hardly a libertarian approach.
White dwarf? The inhabitants had long since resettled, if they knew about themselves.
The sad nature of the universe is that untold numbers of unique lifeforms have been summarily extinguished by the the deaths of their stars for billions of years.
Especially if you ignore that the FBI and NSA are two prongs of the same criminal organization and that the FBI doesn't even pretend to be primarily about law enforcement anymore. The CIA is similarly attacked, using NSA intelligence for both domestic and foreign operations.
Oh, wait, no, there's a piece of paper on it with an org chart on it that says otherwise and another piece of paper that says the NSA isn't involved in domestic spying, so, nothing to see here, move along.
Whatever his other foibles, Reagan knew how the USG operates:
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Stop being afraid of prices. If silver is $20/oz and one of these displays requires one thousandth of an ounce, then the cost of silver in one is two cents, so who cares?
Go figure out what the actual cost is and then you can figure out whether you need to engineer a suitable replacement 60nm (polar?) nano-organic for mass production.
We have plenty of silver on Earth - my god, you must've been locked in a closet in fear when everybody was running around with semi-disposable silver halite emulsions in their pockets.
For the Hitachi model to start making sense, price-wise, that Seagate model would have to fail a lot more than their numbers are currently showing
What's worse is that since Western Digital bought Hitachi's drive business, the quality has fallen through the floor - I'm replacing > 25% of drives after just one year whereas before it was 5% or so. Paying a price premium over Seagate is worth zero at this point, perhaps negative.
I would not be surprised if Backblaze's Hitachi statistics have some carry-forward from the pre-WD Hitachi.
You want to be snarky? Go ahead - enjoy it and feel good about yourself.
But it's only an ego high. The rest of you will suffer for it. If the only benefit of something is to feed one's ego, then it's almost always a bad idea.
how likely people with these traits are to be remembered by the world as geniuses
Yeah, the summary at least is throwing around all sorts of words - genius, successful, eminent, accomplished - these all mean different things.
I think what they're trying to say is "famous smart people who created notable things". Which isn't the same thing as 'genius' at all, though a genius could be among them.
Other geniuses may choose completely different paths, which may or may not be borne of wise decisions.
I've had satellite receivers crap out and I've had to heat-gun the chips back into connection. It's a real great way to generate mountains of e-waste - most people don't put a heat gun to their electronics' motherboards.
RoHS was supposed to be about e-waste, but maybe they forgot about unintended consequences.

infringers are innocent until proven guilty

Around time the latter wised up and started calling themselves "libertarians".
Beautiful Orwellian Doublespeak, when those who eschew violence are the psychopaths and the bombers of cities are the peacemakers.
Oh, no, you're just a fool.

And the lives of the dozen+ people who died building the Empire State Building and Golden Gate Bridge apparently mean nothing to him.
When did the mods start +5'ing psychopaths?

Kennedy decided to defy them.

no, zero lifeforms extinquished by the death of their own star, for stars kill their habitable planets long before dying.
The supernova is just the final event in the very long process of a star's death.
hire armed security.
Hire? I think you mean 'build'.
Local residents would be thrilled if a large employer moved in.
And then they'd murder them. Camden needs a do-over, from the beginning.
The information is new to us. Take your meds.

but I can certainly recognize the nature of the government's response.
These people wanted a new government, they got a new government.
You'd think they would have learned their lesson with the USSR.

The use of quotes is warranted and allows the editors to escape my wrath....this time..
Wrath on, because an editor is supposed to mark such atrocities with [sic].
That being said, the summary is now corrected to proper English, so I'm terribly confused.

Weather in some places that's colder or warmer than others!
Truly unprecedented in history.
Regardless of the predictive value of our models, let's raise some taxes.
