And which of these has the least regulation? And which has the higher chance of injuring or killing someone? Amazing that they want license plates and insurance for "model aircraft", but apparently you can buy a gun and just start shooting it, no safety classes, no training, not even a seatbelt required.
People have flown these model aircrafts next to airports and runways causing real aircrafts to be unable to take off and land causing huge inconveniences and costs to thousands of people. It is not just about what has the chance to injure or kill someone but costing whole industries lots of time and money.
Agreed. If your only goal is monetary then it may be hard to justify some certs. However if you are interested in the topic and actually want to learn the skill in question then any program is worth taking.
The company was having trouble in 2013 so it laid off some employees
In 2014 the company started doing better
The employees who were laid off in 2013 sued and won
The cost of dealing with the lawsuit caused the company to again experience hardship. This time they closed there doors.
So it had nothing to do with a severance package. When the company started doing better they were forced to compensate employees that were fired when the company was doing badly.
I was preparing a book for one of my clients and as I am uploading the photos, which are personal, the first thought was... should I really be uploading these photos to this website, we just met?
The answer is no, of course you shouldn't trust any website. If you want it to remain private, leave it off the internet.
I assume that whoever is speaking in the article has a job / contract to prepare these photos for clients who have requested that they upload the photos to the service. In that case leaving them off the Internet is not an option.
The government already has access via hand-held battering rams and 14 tonne, wheeled wrecking-balls (AKA assault vehicles). Big money and brute force doesn't work on encryption, unless they turn it into rubber-hose decryption (Oblig. XKCD). But the three-letter agencies can't do that 200 times a day, so they want a cheap, simple solution that labels the common people as criminals without rights.
There are law about that though - a warrant is required for the police to enter my home. DHS is not going to get a warrant to snoop on me.
Would it work for the government to have access to everyone's cars? Cars can be used for criminal activities. Ditto for keys; should we have to al give the government access to our homes?
According to the article the bullets are not "self directed" but able to compensate for factors that could change the direction like weather, wind, or movement of the target.
The point of the article is not the Pentagon saying that they need more money to thwart future attacks. It is to let people know that attacks like this do occur and are being handled swiftly.
A hangglider instructor once told me the exact opposite. He experimented with 3d simulators and abandoned them because after the use of the simulator, the pupils took twice as long to learn how to fly as the pupils who never used the simulator.
Cell phone use causes the brain to disconnect from the whole body. When you spend your whole day staring at that tiny screen ignoring everything around you many things go wrong.
Nothing until they are out for a joyride in their brand new sports car and they loose control due to carelessness and wreck my car / destroy my property / hit me while I am walking down the road.
Not letting your shithead teens on the fucking road in the first place?
Not letting them on the road seems a little extreme but do they have to have a brand new car? What happened to having a beater to putt around in for the first few years?
Companies and politicians are more interested in looking good and in getting the snazzy release announcement / photo op then releasing accurate, neutral data to the public. An announcement will be heavily promoted / advertised and people will remember those ads more then they will remember the tiny retraction issues three weeks later.

Do you mean give up producing music and movies?
So what are we left with? No GPS, no cellular, data, or WiFi, no camera. Why did I pay $99 and sign a two year contract for that?!?
No one is suggesting that you leave it off forever. Just when you are in certain areas.
That is why it is being investigated by Canadian authorities.
And no word yet on whether or not laces are a user serviceable part.
I never thought I would see the day where shoes would be battery powered.
Imaging not being able to take off shoes because the battery is dead.
Twitter recently banned promotion of violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or disease. This lawsuit might be about Twitter not following through (IANAL nor have I RTFA).

Nope. See the real press release.
nobody believes that. if you HAVE it, you have COLLECTED it and the RETENTION of such data fits YOUR purposes.
When I send an email my ISP will will scan the email for viruses and to make sure it is not spam. How is this any different.
But, really, what are these certs worth to you?
Agreed. If your only goal is monetary then it may be hard to justify some certs. However if you are interested in the topic and actually want to learn the skill in question then any program is worth taking.

This seems to be a common thing for NASDAQ to halt trading. Can NASDAQ halt trading any time my stocks start doing poorly?
Probably only when that stock is worth billions of dollars and its decline could send the whole market into a tailspin.

Who cares... does it blend? Waiting...
I would think that bullet proof will not bend. If it was able to bend a bullet would go through it.
According to the article the bullets are not "self directed" but able to compensate for factors that could change the direction like weather, wind, or movement of the target.
I'm still not entirely clear what the Apple Watch is supposed to do for me, especially when it's still reliant on a cell phone to function.
The same can be said about everything that Apple makes; none of it is needed and there are better / cheaper alternatives.
Another 10 billion dollars.

Why is this a cautionary tale? What horrific outcome did they have that we are supposed to learn from?
I think that the submitter used the wrong phrase. They probably mean "Starting down a slippery slope."
A hangglider instructor once told me the exact opposite. He experimented with 3d simulators and abandoned them because after the use of the simulator, the pupils took twice as long to learn how to fly as the pupils who never used the simulator.
That sounds suspicious as they are used extensively by the airline industry.

What does it matter to you?
