and that the employer said that the employee should "tolerate the illegal". no laws help against that. suing the fuck out of the employers who do that does help.
of course, the state should be doing policing of illegal activity so there should actually be no need for suing by the employee... prosecuting the employer in a case like this should not be optional!
because some software expects it and doesn't run without it. shit software, but software anyways.
that's whats bad about it, really. it's just not a startup replacement but one that aims to turn developers into developing software that can't work without it,, without trouble.
why would startup utility provide user authentication? to conquer everything of course.
what's up with paying extra for INSURING the goods when using postal or courier services in most of the world..
with most places, you wait for the shit to arrive, maybe it doesn't, and you're fucked, and when sending you can put a price on the contents and pay extra to get it insured.
it's just easier to see that you're paying it and much harder for the company to dodge as a result.
how uber drivers were not paying it so far sounds like fraud though. it's like claiming that since you're using a credit card to pay (digitally!) that you could skip the sales tax..
if they could train their replacements then they were overqualified as workers.
should just have not trained them, like, cite that training people is not in you skillset since you're just doing a peon job that can be done anyone trained in a few weeks.
and if they needed training, how were they highly skilled h1b workers to begin with anyways?
if you're in neither USA or Russia, it's far more likely to get "double tapped" by an american drone though.
and nsa/cia can spy on you "legally" too. they don't have to even lie to the congress, because breaking local/global laws is what fsb/cia are meant to do, which makes them fucked up organizations in the first place and it's amazing how other countries haven't yet put nsa,cia and fsb related personnel all on black lists and quit extraditing persons to usa/russia .
yeah.. the prison administrator should be sent for some solitary time because he thinks he is a judge. enforcing copyrights of the prison vendor via punishing measures? is the dude getting money from the jpay to be a jpay thug?(sure does. he should be doing time for that though).
plenty of people.. but comparable how? speed?(unlikely?) it runs the same software? more likely.
why would you build a datacenter out of them though? to get arond hw backdoors and import restrictions? sounds like the only reason. then again, if they're getting fabbed in taiwan the backdoor reason goes out of the door.
and now they want to do away with that. they're already sort of going there with metro. no longevity.
also thats what they experimented with in mobile. 3 years, 3 sdks? 3 ways you're supposed to write your apps windows phone apps? yup, pretty much - and still they haven't released the one thing that was supposed to fix("one platform" approach). also, don't even think of getting new apps for winpho 7.1.
now on the other hand look at the decade of windows mobile before that. fairly good compatibility, even if the phones were overpriced and lacked good phone functionalities - but at least you could depend on the platform if you ran out a business solution for your corporation that needed the platform to stay alive and compatible! that is, until their revolution. that didn't make the sales.
it actually isn't hypothetical. it's perfectly legal in USA to sell gun plans. to my knowledge also legal to make a personal firearm in almost all states.
patent office has shitloads of gun plans available as well.
you can even sell a book about HOW TO MAKE A FUCKING PROPER GUN, so it's pretty petty and seemingly illegal for the state department to ban them from distributing some stl files..
the point of the article that this "newly unlicensed whitespace spectrum will be deployed across San Francisco and Seattle supplying high speed network access at no cost whatsoever to end users." etc mesh mesh stuff has been touted over and over again now for 15 years. OVER FIFTEEN YEARS.
the funny thing is.. MS should know if the activations are legit or not. also, if they are unsure, why the fuck are they touting the ip address publicly?
it's a lot simpler for them to quote studies as basis of their policies than to create original research that they never terll anyone about.
however, it makes pork barreling much harder. if they want to protect something or ban something then they need to quote why it's bad.
I don't understand what the fuss is about though, like, isn't this how you would expect EPA to be set up in the first place? like let's say they ban one kind of a plastic and give green light to another kind of plastic, wouldn't the public have the right to know why they think the other is harmful and the other is not? if they don't tell, then it's exactly for this reason why USA is full of conspiracy idiots, creationists etc...
yeah why indeed should you have strong dislike for ubuntu when their pulseaudio shitfest resulted in rebootings and rebootings and tinkering when simply staying at a friends place and trying to listen music while partying!
*srsly, I got a dislike for ubuntu from that and what they've been doing since has not made that dislike any less.
the real problem with copyrights is that the "interest groups" are the people benefiting from longer copyrights and most politicians continue to think so.
however, there's the other group as well: the normal people.
the canadians should vote for politicians who think that the people are an interest group and thus should be consulted.
resolution is my only issue with oculus rift 1st gen sdk. even the head tracking worked well enough(and most of the time I don't want it, i just want a good 90degree+ head mounted stereo display.
the fps etc. some researchers are focusing purely on that and bringing it up as a big deal because it's the only thing they can help with. -- because making higher resolution displays is not something they can try to get credit and press for.
and really, you would think that a friggin VR expert supadev would rather compare "pong" of vr to be the vrfx helmet stuff from TWO DECADES AGO.
yeah, it would be enough, really. I've used the rift(ks). half life 2 worked fine with it. surprisingly it was better to play with just a HACK than with the official tf2 shit! why? they fucked up the control options for the official(like 5 choices and none of them traditional kb+mouse! all had to try to stuff in head control for up / down and separate aiming from head movement or other weird things)
also what many of these journos forget is that some people will get sick from just looking someone else play doom.
the vr is already more on the doom level than pong. resolution sucks. also comparably to doom, plenty of researchers are trying to invent new controllers, walking around the room and shit. in reality, the vr headset games are best played with just a xbox controller or kb+mouse. also they're the least taxing. you don't want to be waving your hands around for 8 hours+ anyways - all their alternative control schemes are for _casual_ gaming! and who the fuck who is into casual gaming is going to invest into a vr headset for home? nobody. you want something you can play with all night long.
also due to this researcher obsession with control/head movement schemes and them getting it wrong time after time, the games that work best right now are simulator games with steering wheels or joysticks - and it's WAY beyond pong.
if the drones are anything to go by, the us will just flip a coin about which side it gives a sat phone to call for hits.
that is, in the bigger picture this won't matter. and in the smaller picture us snipers are already good enough in setting up killing zones and hitting targets - good enough that what they would need help with would be identifying the targets and not hitting them - and in near future term, it's unlikely these bullets will be distributed like normal daily bullet rations. also from let's say an apache, they can already hit people they want with very good accuracy. if they should or not though, the systems can not tell.
if you want the military to be better, it would be just wiser to give the grunts a two year training before sending them into action. six months of training can just give them basics of killing and surviving - whilst the job they need to perform is more akin to police(so give them an european police training).
these bullets will not win a war: they're an assassination tool. for police etc action they have very limited use as well and when is the last time US snipers performed battlefield takedowns of enemy generals? Vietnam? after that it's just setting up zones of no entry working as glorified turret mines(whilst all the propaganda of the work is still that vietnam era style, since it's more honorable).

look man,
the blurb already says it's illegal.
and that the employer said that the employee should "tolerate the illegal". no laws help against that. suing the fuck out of the employers who do that does help.
of course, the state should be doing policing of illegal activity so there should actually be no need for suing by the employee... prosecuting the employer in a case like this should not be optional!

if taxing taxi driving as a service is dumb, then australians must be pretty dumb.
yeah and how is gst/vat not a tax on what the company sells? that's what I meant.
like, if you're paying vat on your bought google adwords.. then that wasn't dodged. any other tax would increase pricing accordingly as well.
..waittaminute..
what's up with paying extra for INSURING the goods when using postal or courier services in most of the world..
with most places, you wait for the shit to arrive, maybe it doesn't, and you're fucked, and when sending you can put a price on the contents and pay extra to get it insured.
well, vat/sales/whatever tax is a company tax.
it's just easier to see that you're paying it and much harder for the company to dodge as a result.
how uber drivers were not paying it so far sounds like fraud though. it's like claiming that since you're using a credit card to pay (digitally!) that you could skip the sales tax..

yeah.. the prison administrator should be sent for some solitary time because he thinks he is a judge. enforcing copyrights of the prison vendor via punishing measures? is the dude getting money from the jpay to be a jpay thug?(sure does. he should be doing time for that though).
just start selling mp3's, videos and all warez then as well.
the reasonable thing would be to screen the sellers - and if they get dmca notices, take out the entire seller.
or heres another, if a seller gets more than 100 bucks in revenue, check just what the fuck he is selling.
plenty of people..
but comparable how? speed?(unlikely?)
it runs the same software? more likely.

well, it turns out that they evaluated the ioccc repository.
so.. freenet?
it works for a really small subset of big things. that's the problem.
also.. cities in asia don't count waste, therefore it doesn't happen.
the point of the article that this "newly unlicensed whitespace spectrum will be deployed across San Francisco and Seattle supplying high speed network access at no cost whatsoever to end users." etc mesh mesh stuff has been touted over and over again now for 15 years. OVER FIFTEEN YEARS.
probably they're not doing even oem installs.
the funny thing is.. MS should know if the activations are legit or not. also, if they are unsure, why the fuck are they touting the ip address publicly?
-lassi
if they ask the vendor for a version to test (and money? then the test is suspect.
it's a lot simpler for them to quote studies as basis of their policies than to create original research that they never terll anyone about.
however, it makes pork barreling much harder. if they want to protect something or ban something then they need to quote why it's bad.
