As for police randomly raiding homes without warrants, if they do find incriminating evidence then fair enough; if they don't, then prosecute the police for intrusion.
Are you actually serious about this?
You would legally give the police the right to hassle whoever they wanted, go on fishing expeditions, plant evidence and then find it, and so on, just because they *may* find something?
Seriously.
Now, on the other hand, this video is quite different. It is a recording of events rather than a tool used in the events. In addition, what is 'siezing' a video when it could be deleted if not siezed. Seizure is surely taking AND viewing. Taking, and getting a warrant post-taking but pre-viewing, should surely be a viable situation here. There is still a judicial oversight prior to the viewing, preventing the fishing expedition. Obviously, in this case, they took it, and once they had it viewed it and didn't get any judicial oversight.
It's cheaper to refactor roadside equipment (even installing concrete barriers for the self-guiding bus wheels) than to install a subway.
IIRC the bus has lighting underneath for road traffic.
However the bus would surely be blocking the view of the signs and lights for the cars, although as it would leave first that might not be a big problem.
Most likely at stops the elevated bus would proceed before the vehicles underneath.
Still, there are so many issues with the concept and design apart from turning when the vehicle is blocking your exit that this will likely only ever live in select cities that match the use case.
- existing straight city grids (otherwise you would new-build with trams/light-rail, which has a benefit of being able to turn corners).
- no subways (as these work and don't block the roads).
- a city government willing to ban tall vehicles from the routes they run on - i.e., these would be car-only routes, until people design low-height freight transporters to feed the city's retail and food outlets.
"Men get fatter to die earlier and escape" would be a better title.
Single men go to the gym. Married men get fat.
The evidence is clear. Sweet death is the ultimate desire for many many men, and they will do all they can to achieve this in the most enjoyable manner possible - namely overeating. They can then escape the mental torture of their relationship.
I thought it was commonly understood that solar panels were likely to be useful for way longer than 25 years. All this does is increase that useful lifetime - and given that it's 25 years (now apparently 35 years) for 80% of the power generation, I think it's likely that houses may not need to replace their panels for many decades after installation. Especially if the power used by a household drops due to efficiency gains in that same period.
I doubt the panels are that different really in terms of lifespan, it's just the other manufacturers were being conservative.
I'm guessing that's 20% every year, i.e., most people get a car on credit and have to repay it monthly.
You're saving for the next car for presumably several years, and then you buy it without any form of credit. In effect you've done the same - put money aside each month - but you've earned interest on it instead of paying interest on it.
The only reason to buy a new car, in my opinion, is if you drive in it every day for over a couple of hours, whereupon having mod cons actually improves your quality of life. Although IMO you might be better off buying an older, but better car second hand still, for less:-)
Of course most people will do it to keep up appearances with the neighbours. I.e., vanity.
My car is the 15 year old dented Honda Civic, and I earn in the top 10 percentile (or better, I just checked the government stats). But that's London, I drive it maybe 15 minutes a day on average, I have to park on the street (hence the dents, other drivers suck), it cost me about £2300 five years ago (cash) and I guess I pay £1200 a year to run it (insurance, tax, MOT, petrol). Even if I give it away, that's under £1700 a year for freedom and time saving ability (if I didn't have a child to drop off at nursery, etc, I could drop the car and just hire a vehicle for when I really need it).
It's how the car market works - the top 10-20% earn enough to buy or finance a new car, maybe on a rolling replacement schedule every so often.
Everyone else buys second/third/fourth hand according to what they can afford. The cars simply make their way down a list of owners as they get older, maybe changing hands every 3 to 5 years depending on the owner's whims.
Some people stretch themselves further to get a better car than they can really afford, and others scrimp on the car (often because they're in a city with decent public transport, often because housing in their city is very expensive). Many households don't own cars, although I guess that's more common outside of the US.
In your example, 20% of $50K is $10K, so on a 5 year finance cycle you could probably stretch to a new car. But in my opinion that's a large percentage to pay for a car, then again I don't need to drive every day, I get the train to work (UK).
Developer Resource (especially that which knows how to write efficient decent C++ code) is expensive.
This is why most code is really a shim over a massive framework (e.g., in Java that framework would be Spring), even developing a better (i.e., better suited for the task at hand) framework would take too much time.
And Java bytecode is just an IL, a mature IL with legacy, usually running a legacy runtime and frameworks on top. So what if the final step of compilation occurs on the client machine - CPU is cheap after all. And then you can optimise that compilation to the code that actually needs it because you have runtime statistics, and you can optimise it for the client hardware rather than a generic compatible baseline. Apple have taken that on-board with C and LLVM - iOS apps' final compilation step is in the App Store now, developers just upload IL - and Apple can compile device specific optimised versions (and in most cases they could silently switch architectures if they decided and it would be fine - this is likely how Macs will transition to ARM in the next few years).
Yes, properly written C++, Asm, etc, will be better than compiled code in most cases. But most people can't write properly written C++ or Asm!
Yeah, the Chinese Supercomputer is using 1.45 GHz 260-core custom-ISA 64-bit RISC chips.
Yup, 260 cores. Each with a 256-bit FMAC SIMD unit. It's not a traditional CPU architecture, it clearly uses some aspects of Intel's Larrabee/Knights Landing platform, and GPU architectures (in particular the cache arrangement).
Each chip can process 3 TFLOPS of double precision floating point.
Why isn't the downloaded file tagged as "downloaded from the internet". This seems to be a capability that Windows has.
Why doesn't wscript.exe look for that and refuse to run the script or run the script in a locked down sandbox. Although I guess Windows would just pop up a "Run this malware as administrator? Yes / Yes" UAC box anyway.
The sooner that operating systems containerise every application the better. Limit the damage - I'd rather erase a malware-encrypted container of an app and its data than my entire system.
I thought the image quality and feel was very close to that of 1970s magazine print.
i.e., Warm, slightly golden, slightly odd contrast and range.
If they could sell these 20" displays with a DisplayLink driver and USB port for a reasonable price there could be a reasonable amount of interest. I wouldn't mind throwing a PDF onto one of these (and being able to carry it around), using it as a textbook, etc. But for me the price would have to be very attractive to buy on a whim.
Even using in-wash anti-bacterial liquid as an additive doesn't work well if you then forget to take the washing out for a few hours. You can mask it a little with fabric conditioners, but now we're up to three things you need to add to the wash.
Basically, we'd best go back to 90 degree boil washes and starch:/
Britain has a problem with the building trade, in particular the self-employed small business building trade. It's why there are TV shows like Cowboy Builders, and bad building work is commonly on other programmes like Watchdog and so on.
The biggest surprise is that this company hasn't made itself bust and reopened under a new name - a very common solution in the UK. I suspect maybe the law has been tweaked to make this less of a solution?
Build Team have not worked for this client, and having undertaken a Google search we cannot trace the individual.
So how do they know that they haven't worked for this client?!
With building companies, word of mouth reputation from people you know seems to be the best solution in the UK. And always pay attention to the bad reviews first and foremost. Sadly, with marketing, people don't do due diligence on things they are about to spend tens of thousands on. Sure, you can't always avoid bad businesses this way, but clearly a line of poor reviews that have been hidden should set of alarm bells.
Quite clearly he should have sold the information, even though it's merely Slovenian police and security services, I'm sure a few grand would have been preferable to a (suspended) prison sentence.
Modern Commercial Security: HACK US AND WIN PRIZES.

Tesla contracted the paint shop construction company with the best reputation, and agreed to $55 per hour for employee wages to get a paint shop constructed.
That company then subcontracted to another company.
Somewhere down there, someone took $50 per employee hour and pocketed it themselves. Or the figure is wrong.
Doesn't matter if it is a job, a website, a community knitting group.
If the people there are getting you down so much, then you need to get out.
It's highly unlikely that you can fix an aggressive rude culture like the one he describes - not in a short term anyway. Surely Wikipedia has behavioural standards for editors, etc?
He wrote a program called EMAIL, starting in 1979. It didn't do the key essential parts of what we consider email.
Sadly, the key email RFCs came out in 1972 and 1977, and the concept was in progress in 1965. The ones crediting Tomlinson, etc.
If this gets to court (unlikely), then he will get destroyed (and not before time, it appears). Even the race card he plays is a total lie, as the RFCs include an Indian co-author.
I would hazard that this is the fault of BMI measurements when someone has muscle mass:-) Don't put too much worry into being concerned about it, apart from why it's still a measure in common use.
Sadly going to the gym five days a week isn't an option for many people, for varying reasons. And modern work exhausts the brain but not the body too, so regular mindless gymming (or cycling/hiking/etc) is a great idea that doesn't fit into the modern lifestyle. It's all pretty screwed up.
I walk 3.2 miles a day as part of my commute. That's 320 calories apparently. That's not a lot:-( 8 hours sitting at a desk is apparently another 270 calories (although some sites say its higher because of fidgeting). I think we're approaching burning off a light lunch in total.

Surely taking the video, but sealing it unviewed until the warrant to view (or instruction to return it) would be adequate in this case?
It is clear that erasing the video whilst waiting for a warrant is a strong possibility, I don't see how that can be dismissed so easily by the judge.
Maybe a golf course deal...
