You are talking about faking of probable cause. In an honest court, and if you have a non-corrupt defender, they have to SHOW probable cause in court. It isn't legal to just say that probable cause may have existed! The have to GET A WARRANT based on PROBABLE CAUSE, BEFORE they can scan. If they pretend they got the evidence some other way, they have to prove it, and show a logical chain of events.
Parallel construction involves obtaining the evidence by any means (illegally), then using that knowledge to manufacture a plausible probable cause, which can then be used to get the evidence (that the cops know is there through their illegal means) legally. Neither the court nor the defendant's attorney is ever informed of the original illegal surveillance, so the honesty of the court and corruptness of the defender aren't relevant.
All this proposal would really amount to would be starting a trade war with China. That's not going to help anyone (and no, it doesn't matter whether the treaty says China won't retaliate or not; words on paper rarely trump perceived national interest).
I know you may still be annoyed at the US for breaking away from the Empire. Attempting to lure them back by imitating their practices is however NOT a good idea.
Ironicly, this is one of the REASONS the US broke away from the empire. That bit about a public trial in the Sixth Amendment wasn't put there because the founders had some theoretical idea that secret trials would be used to dispense injustice -- it was because they had experience with the British doing just that.
If I've done my numbers right, it should be 20 cents per mile for the cost of the bulk aluminum (assuming the entire 100kg is aluminum, which obviously isn't so). But that's a lot of aluminum/alumina to be shipping around in relatively small packages (even palletloads of batteries are small compared to bulk metals), and I suspect replacing the battery isn't as simple as dumping the alumina in the smelter and putting in fresh aluminum, so there's a lot of unknowns here.
She gave me that crappy "oh, how dare you speak to me, you're just trying to hit on me" look, made an exasperated sound, and I never spoke to her again.
You broke the cardinal rules for avoiding sexual harassment complaints: be handsome, be attractive, don't be unattractive.
as much as I despise gangsta culture, if we give people choices, we must be willing to accept that they make make the *wrong* choices, and we shouldn't feel any guilt for the choices they make.
That only works if you're going to let them be responsible for those choices. If you're going to insist that no serious bad consequences occur as a result of those choices.... well, you've just got to throw freedom out the window.
Do you even read your cites, or do you just expect everyone else not to?
1) Computer Science was not considered in that report. It concerned strictly engineering degrees. There's no comprehensive list of which ones, but Computer Engineering is NOT cited as one of the degrees represented.
2) Those deciding not to start engineering courses were not considered.
What WAS considered were those women who finished an undergraduate engineering degree and then went into a different field, and those women who finished an undergraduate engineering degree, worked in engineering, and then left the field. It is specifically mentioned that some of those left engineering FOR computer programming or IT.
Studies show that women graduate with a CS degree but then go into another field more often than men.
And you cite a study that not only doesn't prove your point, but talks about women with traditional engineering degrees going into computer programming.
The only accurate way to talk about "discretion" when talking about the LAPD (or indeed any major police department and nearly every smaller one) is along with the phrase "abuse of".
So let me get this straight... some company was willing to give "Extra points" for looking up the translation for "Application for Engineering Job" in an artificial language. You tried to do so as best as you could, and they called you in for an interview. What's the problem? You passed the test. It's likely just a weed-out question to see who was paying attention to the job ad and who was just spamming every company they found with applications. Works pretty well because written Klingon is rather distinctive looking, so easy to identify. And unlike any real language (e.g. Vietnamese or !Kung) , it wouldn't be the native language of any applicant.
I did a search and the only ads I found with playing video games as a requirement were video game tester ads.
I have never asked, nor have I been asked, a question about Call of Duty or any similar videogame in an interview. What are the two questions you get asked in phone interviews?
I don't know, I'm really impressed that they managed that sort of data transfer rate while also sending copies of all the data to both the NSA AND Chinese Intelligence.
And it's about time the so-called "ethical security researchers" got off their high horses and realized that. There are far too many laws for there to be white hats. If you want to do useful research into vulnerabilities other than those of the company you are a security researcher for, you're going to have to put on the black hat.

It's you who don't get it.

I suppose the house will have to come with a RealDoll avatar.

Doesn't matter how much robot you've grafted on to yourself, when the order goes out to KILL ALL HUMANS, you still count.

There's already glass conglomerate minerals.
That would be a plastiglomerate, because cured cyanoacrylates are plastics.

These conglomerates are made of burned plastics. UV will likely break them down eventually (by "eventually" I mean "much less than geological time").
Plastic in the ocean does the same thing.
American IT workers boycotting firms which don't hire Americans? They're not even going to notice.

It turns out that the secret for success in the stock market is to buy low and sell high. Get to it, folks.

The smaller the reward region of the brain, the more porn it takes to activate it.
They're both over 40 already.

No responsibility without authority.

Yes, the cheap labor in China (and other countries, but largely China) has probably set back industrial automation 20 years.
