I'd say something else. If there is need for an info like this, all bets are off, and torture is legally on the table. But if it appears later that this was a ruse, that a wrong person was tortured, that the threat was overrated, or that nothing happened despite not getting the info - essentially, if in hindsight the torture wasn't a necessity, these who commanded it should be treated as a war crime of highest order.
That means dishonorable discharge followed by immediate execution by hanging.
This kind of threat should tame the run to easy access to some potentially valuable info by torturing everyone vaguely suspected of being worth attention, and restrict it only to the cases where the generals are willing to risk -their own- lives to save lives of others.
...yes, and essentially only inexpensive white LED put an end to them.
The battery-powered lamps were a gimmick, too expensive in use (expensive batteries, note rechargeables were scarce, expensive and poor capacity back then too!) and too short-living (bulb energy draw) for any longer routes. The dynamo was the standard, sure it put extra friction but finely tuned the friction was well within acceptable standards and the light strength was unparallelled.
A dynamo gives about 5W at 5V on standard use. That is 1 Ampere, which means state-of-the-art(then) 1000mAh rechargeables, or a set of standard 3 bulky A-size 1.5V batteries could run the lamp at the same strength for about a hour. Which was pathetic.
Even today dynamo still has its place - as a backup. If batteries die in your LED lamp, you can switch to dynamo. If you ride downhill, you can ride faster because the faster you ride the stronger the light is (and it's much stronger than your average bicycle LED lamp), and it gives an extra braking power. And normally you switch it off.
Are you a hungarian? Can you authoritatively say the old sites did work?
Outdated information with no hint that it is outdated is worse than none at all. Sinkhole email address, where letters from people are never read, placed next to a snailmail address is worse than no email at all, just snailmail. Information, from which most -just- got out of date (because it's about the government, and the government just changed) needs to be changed ASAP. If there are no uniform procedures what and where needs to be changed, it's better to disable anything that is suspected of being out of date than allow the old (mis)information stay online. If a website is in violation of laws - say, data retention laws, it should not be left to perpetrate the violation until corrective mechanisms are in place.
The very essence of the idea of a strike is that it's something heavily inconvenient for Powers-That-Be. It is absolutely obvious that strikes are not allowed - they are not allowed in any part of the world that has a need for strikes to improve work conditions.
A strike is almost by definition illegal and not allowed. Sure there are countries that regulate "legal strikes", but then the strike is legalized through organizers notifying about the strike to occur and opening up for negotiations, so that the board can mitigate it by fulfilling the postulates of the crew. But otherwise, if the demands are not met, the board has no power to prevent a strike.
And once the strike starts, any means necessary are a fair game to stand your ground then: keeping security/army/police at bay by force, using force/destructive methods to block unauthorized access (like welding the gates shut), subverting the factory production (and stored materials) for defense/upkeep (eat manufactured food, sleep on makeshift beds made of production material), and so on. Essentially, without being unnecessarily destructive you turn the factory into a fortress. Of course write off the damages resulting from the strike (both in lost sales and in damage to the facility) as costs to be taken by the board in one of the postulates, and also include a clause that no consequences will be incurred against participants of the strike.
(this is about sit-down strikes in form that efficiently brought down socialism in Poland - where you disable the employer from replacing you with other employees, even by force.)
I'm afraid this is exactly what makes it the final straw.
Imagine you're working at a terrible sweatshop all day, and dream "When I get a job at Foxconn, it will be over. A bed instead of the shack, a warm lunch, a little extra to pay my debts and save some for some pleasures".
Then they get a job at Foxconn, and see their life, while better than before, is not much different or better overall, and the work is just as boring, takes just as long, and even with higher salary the debts keep growing... and worst of all, there is no prospect for anything better - this is THE Foxconn, the false dream of many - and being one of the "pubic hairs" (as the low-end employees of Foxconn call their peer) means no chance for promotion, significant rise, or any real change for that matter.
As long as they were worse off, they had an aim, get employed by Foxconn and everything will change. Now as they are there, there's not even that hope left.
I know empathy. I'm pretty good at reading others' feelings, motives, seeing their viewpoint. I just don't let it rule me, prioritizing logic over empathy.
I see people's righteous wrath about some "injustice" but I see their harm comes as result of their prior shortsightedness and greed. Picking the "cheapest" solution, like building houses on terrains that are regularly flooded then crying for help when the flood comes. I see people who ask me for help over the same thing over and again, but refuse to let me teach them how to do this themselves. People who complain that "somebody do something about" while they, themselves are in the best position to do it.
I understand their feelings pretty well. I just don't feel for them the least bit. "Aid for victims of flood" usually means if I didn't buy a plasma TV because I paid insurance instead, I will be funding a new plasma TV to a victim of flood who lost one and was not insured. Fuck them.
Not really. The theoretical cap is still far above the current practical cap, and the current practical cap is caused by noise, obstacles and so on (so better wave penetration helps more against it)
If your flash has 1GB and 1000 write cycles, and your one write is 1MB, wear leveling will allow you to write your 1MB block 1,000,000 times instead of 1000 times. But if you wrote 1GB each time, it won't help you a bit.
In this case it seems the guy is writing the chip full of data so wear leveling won't make a difference (nor obscure the results.)

This is novel in a way that the watermark is not spatial but temporal - it only minimally affects the surface of the image, but instead as the image changes over time, the watermark does too, containing much more information than the few points it presents per frame, and being much less obtrusive. Rather original and novel approach.
If I go lucid, I know my opponent is not real. I can wish them away or wish them dead. If I fall, I can fly or negate the whole event. If I have a nightmare, I get beaten by the opponent and can't fight back. If I fall, I wake up terrified. In a game style dream, I fight the opponent and beat him to pulp, and if I fall, I just hit the ground, stand up, shake the dust off me and proceed.
I never had such a dream. Whenever in a dream I even begin to ponder the eventuality this might be a dream, I immediately realize this is a dream and get lucid. Other than that, I just don't think of it. As for waking up, sometimes it takes me a couple of seconds to orient myself but no problems beyond that.

Uses email to spread, then infects your body (precisely, your brain at electrochemical level) and subverts it to further its distribution by email.
There's also thousands of confrontations with opposition, and conquering it.
So the player is more likely just to stand up against the enemy.
I usually wake up at a point late in the gun fight, when I am almost done killing them.
