There is a fundamental difference between someone who has a lot of money, and someone who is making a lot of money. Someone with $10B in assets is a billionaire, and fits this "1% club", but they may only be in the upper 20% in annual TAXABLE INCOME.
And yet they're perfectly willing to tell the state to tax people whose incomes are higher than theirs. Heck, it protects them from people getting into that top 1% assets club too fast..
"By the way, are you allowed to have a beer on the Chicago public transit? If so, that's fantastic!"
No, the Illinois Open Liquor law for motor vehicles is so vaguely written that you can be arrested for it, same as if you had an open beer in your Camry or Malibu.
Decoding both DVD and BD are "known things". AnyDVD was not the only product doing it.
Two important parts to doing BD, though - One is having a valid key to get past the AACS, and being able to replace it when a version of AACS comes out that revokes your current key. If your key has been added to the revoked list, simply putting a disk in the drive with that version of the list essentially "bricks" the drive for reading ANY Bluray disks until you change your key.
The second is being able to implement the BD+ interpreter to fix up deliberate errors introduced into the video... And it changes periodically.
Where the companies that sell such products get their "market lock-in" is keeping up these changes. AACS is easier than BD+, from what I read, because you don't always have to change your key when a new AACS revocation list comes out, but the BD+ programming can and does change multiple times per month.
Most likely because commercial helicopter passenger operations have to be to approved sites.
One-time flights are usually not an issue, but when you're doing a repeated service, the FAA is generally involved, and government in general can speak up to make your (economic) life difficult.
Seems Forbes found out about getting around the clickbaits. The scienceblogs link now just has a longer version of the summary with pictures added, and a link to the clickbait version.
"Protip: it's generally a good idea to read all of something before commenting on or replying to it, even if your finger gets tired."
The vote would be based upon the latest headline flashed at the most people. However the latest twitter celeb of the hour felt, would become the law.
And, of course, being able to "change your vote" means that, somewhere, the way that you voted is recorded... so that you can be tracked down if you voted "the wrong way".
One of the criteria for a storage facility is that it be stable for thousands of years. Mountains are mostly created at the unstable boundary between colliding tectonic plates.
So why are mountains considered a good place to store high-level nuclear waste?
NASA research brought us a lot of things in the past. Not so much any more. We get excited now about putting a camera with a transmitter out at absurd distances, to find out things about our solar system that will (possibly) affect our lives 50-100 years from now.
Would it improve if we took some or all of the money spent on NASCAR and funneled it into NASA? Maybe a little... but would the result be more exploration, or simply more expensive exploration? Money's really the only thing that could be repurposed, because there is certainly a limit on how many people can participate in NASA.
As many others have posted, this cheap new TLDs have had their reputations tarnished. My system's count of TLDs that are blocked by default is over 20, and includes such "winners" as.ninja,.space,.science,.audio,.xyz,.link,.rocks,.click,.work,.party,.review,.date,.eoc,.website,.eu,.win,.racing,.pro,.asia,.download,.faith,.wang, and.top, with more added as the spam load rotates through them.
As for hosting on a virtual server out "in the cloud", as mentioned by some, if you're on an IP hosted by a cloud vendor, you're going to be blocked by our servers. Too much spam from cloud hosts to pick through for legitimate messages.
I could say I'm sorry to do these things, but it would be a lie.
I don't see evidence that they were HOSTING in the US, just that their domain was ".com". The COM top level domain is US, and the domain was seized, not the servers.
If you know the IPs that the domain USED to point to, you can probably still use their system.
There are a few times that I will take public transportation.
Living near the northwest limit of the Chicago area transit system, it is convenient if I'm headed to a convention at McCormick Place. But, I haven't gone there in over a decade... The conventions I go to moved out to the suburbs, where use of public transportation is comical at best.
Going to one this past May, I checked the PT route vs. car. Car took 1.5 hours. PT route involved 10 minutes to train station. 1.3 hours on train. 20 minutes on another train. 10 minutes on bus. 19 minutes walk from nearest bus station to convention site. Cost for round trip? More than the cost to drive, including the $13 parking fee at the convention center.
"Free", as pointed out by others, is only to the rider... Someone has to pay for it. In Milwaukee, they're going to build a trolly system in the downtown that will be less cost-effective than simply renting a bunch of limos and drivers to do the work. And that's if the ridership reaches their claims... but the buses currently plying the route don't meet those numbers!
Does PT go where I shop? No. Does PT go where I work? No. Would I use it if it was free? Why?
Since you can't legally share a lot of patient information with "unknown third parties", a consequence is that bills are going to be decidedly lacking in specific information. Even if you want to ascribe that to malice, it isn't necessarily the hospital that you should point the finger at first.
That's my browser selection.... and right now FF is doing its damnedest to NOT be it. The current version has a horrid lag, where typing into an input field is akin to a 300 baud dial-up line with noise on it. It gets worse if I allow spell checking.
And I'm STILL trying to figure out how to get some of the plugins to work like they did under v23. I think it is part of their "be like Chrome" strategy, where anything really helpful isn't supported.
But, then again, the others aren't doing much to become the browser I use most, because they don't do what FireFox USED to do...
This is a story about going after telemarketers that made calls from 2012. It's 2015, and my phone is still ringing with robocallers. At this rate, the people calling me now will be fined in 2018...
... to ask these same managers how their hiring goals of 2014 were met during 2014. That is, if they planned on hiring someone with skill X within 6 months, did they hire someone with skill X? Did they actively LOOK for someone with skill X? Or was it, "If someone with skill X comes in, they get 2 extra Brownie Points"?
It's all well and good to say you plan on hiring certain skill sets in a given period, but if you haven't been fulfilling your goals in the past, what does that bode for the future?
I don't even get a black box... There is a white hole allocated for the video, but no noise or other annoyances.
I wonder if the other companies that use ooyala.com for useful purposes appreciate the damage/. does to their reputation by setting autoplay=yes, as those offended geeks with the power to do so modify their DNS servers to be authoritative for ooyala.com and protect their user base from abuse?

Based upon the articles linked, passing these audits would be pretty damning for the companies involved.
"If we find anything against our principles, you have my commitment that we will take additional steps to address it."
So, it if wasn't against Zuckerman's principals, it wasn't wrong.
No live sports, no live politics, no C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News. Definite advantage over cable!

But they're not going after ALL of Trump's websites!
No mention of going after cnn.com, msnbc.com, or any of the network news sites.

If the existing taxi drivers are required to have the fingerprints and background checks, Uber and Lyft drivers should have them, too.
If the existing taxi drivers are NOT required to have the checks, then making Uber and Lyft drivers do it is discriminatory.

The auto-play waits for the whole page to load. Well, it did, until I told my system that *.ooylala.com should be mapped to 127.0.0.1 ...
