Maybe, but we all have choices to make. Setting up your life so that you have a long car commute is within your control. We have to balance that against other considerations affecting choices about jobs and homes.
I don't wear a watch most of the time, but I do use a gps watch for running and cycling. A small gizmo strapped to your wrist (or to your handlebars) is more convenient than a phone for this.
I wonder whether making the source code of these probes available to the public, for vetting would help spot bugs like these? I am also curious whether releasing the code would be problematic for any reason?
Dunno. But I suppose it might be that the code is written by a contractor and they hope to make money out of the code in other contexts.
For the purposes of copyright it surely doesn't matter whether it's "executable code" or not - the question is whether copyright subsists in it and whether it was copied.
I haven't followed this case closely, but as I understand it the ruling is that the copyright subsists in the relevant code and it was copied, but that copying is not a copyright infringement because it falls under the "fair use" exemption.
Well - if they allow "old" common passwords back in after a while then you're right, but if you retain the list of previously common passwords and continue to disallow those (which is probably more sensible) then you don't get that situation.
If you ban common passwords. Then you end up with a new set of common passwords. Going to ban those too?
It doesn't follow. Common passwords are based on words in common use or things like calendar dates. If you disallow those, then it's reasonable to expect that the passwords will have a lot more variety.
Registering a domain name gives you options - but you don't have to run your own server. I use my own domain for mail, but at the moment I'm just using gmail to handle the mail. But I can switch anytime...
In the UK (at least) it's usual to have your university place lined up already, so it's unlikely that you won't go.
It's quite common for kids to spend a few months working first to get the money to spend on a few months travelling. Of course they'll usually be living rent free with parents whilst working so their life is subsided - but that's just a continuation of the arrangement whilst they were in school.
It's become very common here now although when I started university (33 years ago) it's wasn't a thing. For some kids it's a really good idea, for others... not so much.
But the (more) fundamental question here is not whether a court can order him to provide the key, but whether it can effectively jail him for ever if he fails to comply. Here (in England) the maximum jail term for contempt of court is 2 years.
... but it's not terribly relevant to running on a treadmill. If you're running on a treadmill, then the only frame that really counts is the surface of the treadmill.

So potentially we can affect the operation of peoples' brains using electric fields?
... and yet the most widely used web framework is an 800k line python program.
"50MW of battery storage". How can a watt be a unit of storage?
Reminds me - one of the salesman at a place I used to work described one of our products as "almost totally unique" :/
By "new car buyers" do you mean "new (car buyers)" or "(new car) buyers"?
... because nobody has a choice about where they live or work - these things are handed out by the state at birth ...
Suppose we had a numeric measure of programmer quality - say a number out of 10.
Suppose every programmer except Fred had quality 5.
Fred has quality 4.
If there are lots of programmers then the average is just below 5. And everyone except Fred is better than average.
If all programmers believe they're better than average, then this is a correct belief for everyone except Fred.

And there we have it - a double blind clinical trial with a statistically significant result.
Please use paragraphs... a wall of text is very unappealing to read.
The s7 has an SD card slot... it's hardly niche.
Of course their were the lisp machines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
But of course your opinions are worth sharing?
But your opinion of whether copyright should subsist doesn't change the fact that the court decided that it did.
For the purposes of copyright it surely doesn't matter whether it's "executable code" or not - the question is whether copyright subsists in it and whether it was copied.

Well - in England at least we don't really use juries in civil claims - it's theoretically possible, but it never really happens in practice.
We do have jury trials for (serious) criminal cases.

What do you think is "wrong"?
Of course it's in orbit, but that's not relevant to how far he's travelled relative to the treadmill surface.
