A similar situation exists for other "practical" math. People need to be able to understand compound interest if they want to avoid getting ripped off in daily life, but the formulas for compound interest involve exponentiation. So you have to wade through a lot of algebra 2 just to get to that. On the other hand, compound interest could be useful tool to demonstrate these concepts in a way that show practical use.
Another item that concerned me is the idea that coders don't need advanced math classes. Apart from financial calculations, anyone doing 3d graphics is likely to need matrix math and trigonometry. Either that or we have to treat them like electricians vs. EEs where the EEs know the formulas and define industrial standards and building codes and the electricians mainly do their jobs by following the standards.
You're also conflating "ownership of the code" with "enforcement of terms of service" and "standardization of licensing" for contributed code. Basically all they're saying is if you contribute code it will be licensed to the community under the MIT license. If you use that code you're required to abide by the MIT license - except that they're giving you an exception if your use of the code is somewhere near the border of "fair use". In that case, you can just attribute the code in the comments rather than the full acknowledgement normally required in the documentation.
Hate crimes are thoughts put into action. It's no different from first degree murder vs. manslaughter. To convict for First degree murder you need to prove intent and planning which are both "thought crimes" the way you define it. The only difference is that a hate crime is an interpretation of motive and intent.
Except that she's not WITHDRAWING her consent, she's claiming that her consent was only given for the duration of the relationship. Basically what the court said (in line with her arguments) is that he has the burden of proof in showing that her consent to keep nude photos of her was intended to continue after the end of their relationship.
My guess is that pre-nups are going to become increasingly popular in Germany.
And I can't wait until this ruling intersects with copyright law. There have always been model consent forms in the commercial side of the "intimate" photo industry, but I sure hope the German government is ready for the influx of paparazzi and other cases where an image is taken of a public figure without that person's explicit consent.
They had applied for "authorization" in advance, which isn't the same as a visa.
My guess is that this is related to the changes to the Visa Waiver program where people with dual citizenship no longer qualify to use a Visa Waiver. I don't understand why that can't be explained though.
Odds are they have a really bad malware infestation and are clueless or have tried and failed to eradicate it. OP mentioned that they appear to be a small company.
Just how do you plan to hold the companies responsible? It's almost 100% certain that the EULA waives your right to remedy in court in favor of binding arbitration. Even if you bring a lawyer to the arbitration hearing, the rules of discovery and other items are different.
I bet something that broad would generate a lawsuit, possibly some kind of antitrust litigation.
RT*A: Google claims they are doing it at Symantec's request.
As Symantec is unwilling to specify the new purposes for these certificates, and as they are aware of the risk to Google’s users, they have requested that Google take preventative action by removing and distrusting this root certificate.
Despite the fact that any comment other than "WTF?!?" is superfluous, here goes. 1) The most egregious example of IT Budget cost management gone awry that I'm aware of. No system overhaul for 25+ years?? 2) God I hope this system isn't networked to anything that even indirectly connects to the internet. Otherwise - terrorists win! 3) I wonder if they're running under DOSBox already.
Loss of freedom due to race/religion/national origin isn't limited to being locked up, so this is a strawman argument. Some examples of other things that cause loss of freedom: pulled over for "driving while black" housing discrimination lynch mobs online intimidation.
If you're afraid to do something that society as a whole takes for granted because of legitimate threats and intimidation, that's a loss of freedom.
Often, it's very difficult to judge how serious a threat actually is. Many of the "warning signs" that get brought up after there's a mass shooting are the same kinds of threats that people brush off as "don't worry about it, they aren't serious" when people complain about online intimidation.
I once bought a lot of used/returned MP3 players at auction. While I didn't get a wealth of personal data, I did get a wealth of "free" music. Based on value, I was actually paying for the music rather than the MP3 players.
Retailers don't have the resources to wipe the memory on returned devices, they rely on the people who buy the resold devices to be scrupulous.
If you're asking which certs give a high probability that the certificate holder can do the job, that's one thing. If you're asking which certs will get you on the short list for a hiring interview, that's another.
PMP may actually appear on both lists. I know that it appears on a lot of postings for Project Managers. And project mgmt isn't just managing Gantt charts. It's a whole sub-discipline under Industrial Engineering.
The big certs right now appear to be for security pros.
As the article quotes, the Standard Youtube license grants any Youtube user (including CNN) license to use, reproduce, sub-license and transfer any video posted on Youtube, whether for commercial purposes or not. Our plucky individual gave CNN and CBC the rights to use and reuse the video when he uploaded it.
Now if CNN or CBC tried to issue a DMCA take-down on a video they had downloaded from YouTube, I'd definitely sue their asses.
The NSA is going to love this one. If the Codephage can inject "clean" code, there's nothing that prevents it from being revamped to inject malicious code.
Alternatively, if your site needs a level of security where you need this type of "live" patching, you need a level of security that would prevent CodePhage from making the updates in the first place.
Sounds like it might be a useful test and bug detection tool, but not for live environments.
What's the old phrase again? "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to hide..." They trot it out every time they want to invade our privacy, along with "It's to fight terrorism!"
So what have they done wrong that they are they hiding with these insane deletion policies?
This might be one area where SaaS is a legitimate option. With all the complex process and data management involved in Asset Management, you could benefit from a system that already has process and data standards defined, and where your organization's inexperience with this type of software isn't as big a liability.
In a worst-case scenario, where the alleged primary purpose of an organization was criminal, could routine deletion of files be cited as evidence of conspiracy?
On the flip side, there's always the prosecutors who will go after you for resisting arrest or other charges that would normally be plea-bargained just because they don't have the evidence to prove a bigger case that they suspect you of.

Texas is on track to take the Idiocracy title away from Florida.
Seems like Syrians aren't the only foreigners Texas doesn't want to have around.
You're assuming that someone involved in this whole farce actually was a grownup.

All convictions are "mere allegations" until the jury returns a verdict.
In a worst-case scenario, where the alleged primary purpose of an organization was criminal, could routine deletion of files be cited as evidence of conspiracy?
It stores it on Microsoft's cloud computing service, doesn't it?
