It's supply and demand -- cheap loans means more money means prices go up. This is the bubble people have been watning about since, hell, almost before Clinton.
Where does the money go? In most universities, the number of sinecure positions, positions unrelated to teaching, exceeds teachers. This indeed is something new.
Still, seeing a symptom and treating it with a drug, skipping "thinking", probably misses an enormous chunk that needs to be built back into the model.
Freud-type stuff has been largely shot down, but the brain, when thinking, builds and reinforces thought and memory pathways. If the thinking thinks odd things, it's going to reinforce odd things. What's the mental problem rate of farmers working all day keeping their brain busy vs. poorly-employed people sitting around brooding all day?
Brooding, thinking, builds and reinforces memories and thinking. Any model of "mental symptom + drugs" completely skips that mechanism.
BTW, I have no idea if that's what this group of psychologists (not psychiatrists) is suggesting, but that's what I'd suggest.
This is the same country that had a company give out a bonus turkey to people at Christmas. One year when times were tough they didn't, so employees sued claiming it wasn't a bonus but part of compensation they expected...and won at the Supreme Court.
Because this can be exploited by changing printf strings, if you can change string tables, rather than running code or even executable files -- string tables are regularly manipulated by design for language translations -- you can get your foot in the door, first for examining and programming stacks.
Actually it's for use further down the road in the same printf string, IIRC. You %n something, then use the value in some later argument, not in a completely different printf. Indeed, the purpose is to keep you from needing multiple printfs when outpit depends on dynamic calculation of lengths of what went before on the same line.
Is it a user's password or is it Apple's? Is there a back door in the algorithm? Is it an inherently weak algorihm, but the police don't know what it is so they can't launch an attack?
I've also laughed at the occasional story that tried to shame "the rich" for not "paying their fair share" in otherwise legal activities.
Governement promises teradollarz in benefits, and then acts shocked -- shocked! -- that people try to squirm out from under it. Some powerful gain the upper hand, gaining power promising to hand out other powerful peoples' money.
It sounds like, rather than be like a law firm hired to go after violations on behalf of clients, which is the normal course of action, they were behaving more like a collection agency, buying out an imagined debt at risk, then going after it themselves.
A lawyer would have to explain how they are trying to transfer the right to sue without actually having legal ownership, while simultaneously managing to give up the client/lawyer relationship where they are just the client's representative.
Well, it's an improvement. They stopped innovating and went to almost 10 years of mee-too-itis, not learning from IBM and OS 2, and it caught up to them. So buy an innovation that isn't mee too.
Buying other peoples' successful stuff has its own issues.

Currently. However, you do realize the first real, large-scale mass production, where all parts are made to within a fine tolerance, and can be pulled from bins rather than having craftsmen custom-fit everthing, was guns during the Civil War? Decades before Henry Ford applied ot to cars.
Porn leads the way in consumer electronics, and guns in manufacturing.
This bug reminds me of one in Baldur's Gate -- to activate a scroll or item or something your characrer normally couldn't, pause the game, go into the backpack and click on an item to activate it, then swap its spot with the item you really wanted to activate.
On pressing go, the lockout check had already been performed, but the swapped item activates.

The copyright is on the movie, not the bytes.
From that perspective, any representation in bytes or any other transform is irrelevant.
People upload crappy quality movies, misalign audio, swap in different audio, even flip it left to right, all in hopes of avoiding automated detection. But automated detection is a tool; it is not the definition of copyright violation.
-1 Troll is regularly misused as of it were an I-don't-heart button. That's not what it's for. In a free and open discussion, disagreeing with your worldview you have a massive emotional investment in is not trolling.
As for this movie, never read the books, so will see it fresh. And withot a cynical, judgemental eye.

George Orwell was British, right?

And government wanting to hock more of itself so it can put off borrowing by, well, 4 days in this case, has nothing to do with it.

Inquiring minds want to know!

God damn it, I told you to stop using VSS!
Meme streams. This is why we can't have nice things, spellcheckers.
tl;dr It's all a game between the powerful; stop buying into memento streams.
Not inherently, no.

Say it ain't so!

Don't need a warrant, wtf.
God damn Bush and Cheney! I can't believe they won the last four elections >:-(
Insufficient sleep may also affect belly fat deposition, obesity, heart disease, and type II diabetes.

Hmmm. Maybe it's about memes to placate sufficient quantities of the masses.

Great. I love Doctor Who, but now I have to find a friend?
There are companies which make suites of pathological CDs, MP3s, and DVDs, Blue rays.
Cool! 100,000 3s .mp3s! In one directory! In 100,000 directories!
Known corrupt audio and video files. Scratches in just the right magical spot. Baldfaced lies in the data. It's all there.
