Running "extra" parts off real assembly lines, in violation of contract, is commonplace and a source of much counterfeit goods.
The companies run the assembly lines under contract, and they are not supposed to run anything beyond what the property holder wants. They often do, and the "counterfeit" ones even have the trademark stamps on them. But aside from cutting into profits in violation of your contract to run the assembly line, in the case of replacement parts for cars and planes, they can use inferior, i.e. cheaper, metals, or be lax or skip testing, and ship it.
So even if someone told you they were selling a "fake Rolex", it might not be the product of someone else's development effort. And this all neglects trademark, copyrighted or patented look-and-feel, and all that other good stuff.
You mean I will no longer have to click on Slashdot, "Ads Disabled! Thanks again for helping make Slashdot great!"
Seriously, though, this is another utility to download ad server lists, fair enough, but when enough people do this, content providers will just switch to serving the ads directly, the ad companies will forward it to them. The rest is cost negotiation and more Akami (or whatever it is) type stuff.
Google says it will make self-driving carsavailable within four years
I want to buy one for travel into work. Ok, I want to be able to tint the windows so I can surf for porn on the way in. You married guys know what I'm saying.
Nah, just kidding! "They just want your money to turn around and buy votes with programs" continues as a successfully descriptive theory, unchallenged, like relativity and quantum mechanics.
This should have been in the agreement. Most would have no problem with it -- as long as it wasn't secretly used for law enforcement.
Lawyers started supoenaing driver self-cams used in driving safety research, and volunteers dried up.
Of even greater concern is illegal NSA type stuff. I suppose more people will put in these read-detectors to map them all out and force government to explain them all. This is a good thing.
Is there a benefit to this on a raspberry pi? Why not just build a simple system that runs on a pc or Apple, which everyone who might have a pi will have, and millions who don't as well.
Verizon goes even further. It claims that it has a right to free speech and, like a newspaper that may or may not publish a story about something, it can choose which content it chooses to carry. "Broadband providers possess 'editorial discretion.' Just as a newspaper is entitled to decide which content to publish anwhere, broadband providers may feature somecontent over others," Verizon's lawyers argue
Ok. But you may no longer advertise yourself as providing Internet access, since that is different.
When there’s a normal combination of prey and predators, he says, everything is in balance.
No, predator-prey is never in balance. Biologists assumed this, but differential equation simulation immediately destabilizes. Predators grow and overfeed, dropping prey populations, and then predators collapse, and prey rebounds, going way up. The relationship is inherently unstable, like wind blowing over water.
This is all before evolution does anything, making further nodes of destabilization as predators and prey constantly try to evolve to outdo each other. Evolution is also not stable for a similar reason, even in a completely unchanging environment.
My friend had a 50,000 gallon above-ground pool in his backyard. If it's even a problem due to exotic chemicals, make them clean it up. It's not that much.
Why the hell is this a topic aside from obvious desire by some for disasterbation? It would barely be a local news story in some small town.
It's less like CB radios or police bands, and more like early cordless phones and baby monitors, which were unencrypted but people also assume, reasonably, to be private.
The physical matter of how easy it is differs from whether there is an expectation. Unencrypted WiFi and friends falls under that.
I would like to know the actual reason behind this law. Movie theaters, it could be argued, by not showing other companys' movies, make showing of same much harder. This cannot be said for cars. No dealership sells anything but one company, including negotiated deals with foreign companies.
Not if they abuse it to target and gain access to things they couldn't legally inside the country. It seems to be coming to a head here -- here are documents showing exactly this -- the illegal motivation.
500,000 a year. Each year's delay is 500,000 more blind children.
I've been saying this for years -- organizations like the FDA cause a lot more harm than good because delaying good drugs hurts a lot more than forbidding bad drugs helps.
Bad drugs that make it to market get found out bad soon enough and are pulled. But one good drug that saves, say, 10% of heart or cancer patient, boom, a million, boom, a million right there. No bad drug will ever harm that many before it is stopped. Almost certainly one incident like that, and we have had many, outweighs all the FDA's decades put together.
Nobody runs these numbers. They point to bad cases. They never point to millions who die needlessly because most drugs are delayed 5-10 years. With AIDS drugs they had to shame government into inventing "fast track", with the supposedly obvious logic that these people were going to die anyway.
I will say it straight out: far from improving the situation, FDA-type organizations kill mmagnitudes more than they save. It's just not obvious since someone who dies from a bad drug (a few) are good news fodder, but millions each year from disease are normal, un-newsworthy wretches.
Speaking of hijacking, it was noticed in the 1970s that Ecology, as environmentalism was then known, was being adopted as a political cry by the same people whose hard-left stance, "workers of the world unite!", was now faltering at the polls, thus giving them a new rationale to try to control business in a socialist sense.
Back then it was all "there's too much garbage!", a falsehood based on innumeracy, and "we're running out of stuff!", also based on a simple-minded view of static development that ignores actual, repeatedly successful predictions of the opposite.
It can certainly upset the ratio among hundreds of bacteria species in the gut.
Another recent study showed blood cholesterol went way up in fat people who ate (fatless) meat, while it did not for vegan volunteers. They traced it to gut bacteria that processed carnitine and turned it into something that got absorbed and turned into cholesterol. Eat a lot and these bacteria multiply. The red meat itself may be a major cause of cholesterol, thus making "eat lean" not as good as you might think.
Another study found certain gut bacteria actually stimulated a nerve that went to the brain that induced stress, which in turn leads to abdominal belly fat, which in turn correlates with both heart disease and Type II diabetes insulin resistance in cells. More research on this chain is sorely needed too.
It doesn't matter -- climate change, if that's what the term du jour is, is also used as rationale by some factions for much greater control over the economy. That is what we need to fight against. There are many potential solutions that do not involve stopping the burning of (mined) fossil fuels.
We see from history that too much interference in the economy, regardless of reason, slows down progress, and that, in the long run, saves more lives and improves the quality of life far more than some coastal issues would lessen it. I'd rather have a few billion move inland over the course of 100-300 years and end up in the year 2300 with year 2300 technology, then slow the economy and save the coasts and end up with year 2200 tech in 2300 (or year 2100 tech, or 2050).
Your "daughter" will have a nicer world, if by nicer you mean lots more deaths and misery because medical and other science is lagging behind.

How much for a fat, sedentary human body, of the type that contemplates things like this?

Putin to America: You're Not Special
I'm sorry, Mr. Putin. I can't hear you over the sound of our own awesome.
By "convertible", I assume you mean I can convert it to Android?
It's questionable whether they even have any, or ever detonated one, as opposed to a pile of tnt with uranium sprinkled on it.
Our governments would know, but letting them know we know is a separate strategy issue.

DAMMIT wrong thread!
This was supposed to go in the helicopter RV kills guy thread.
nothing to see here, move along folks.
