The UK may wind up being the technology leader in Europe in ten years if the remaining EU allows telco extortion.
You really think that the "Leave" blowhards like Theresa May are not in the pocket of big businesses like the telcos? Perhaps I have a bridge to sell you -- it's a nice bridge, called "London Bridge".
I don't hold out much hope, but I think that there is a greater chance that the EU will enforce net neutrality than the UK government.
You remember all those "EU regulations" that the Leave campaign warned people about? Net neutrality is likely one of them.
If you are in the UK and voted to leave, good luck buying a new car: new RHD cars are going to revert back to being much more expensive than LHD cars bought in the EU. Again: those pesky EU regulations, keeping prices down for consumers: it can't be allowed to continue.
What is not entrapment is asking "Hey, are you willing to commit a crime?". It is also not entrapment to hand you the tools to commit the crime, and it's also not entrapment to drive you to a location for the crime, hand you the tools, and pay you a lot of money to commit the crime.
What about the case when the government spends a year getting you into the state of mind where you say "yes"?
There is a difference between what is legally entrapment and what people think should be entrapment. This falls into the latter category.
I think that the purpose of these operations is to make the real terrorists afraid of any communication, not knowing if they are communicating with a real jihadist, or an agent of the FBI. It sucks to be the poor person who is used by the FBI as their communications disruption tool.
There's often this mentality that "the older things lasted longer" but that's not actually true.
The fact that after my 20+ year old washer failed 10 years ago, I had to buy two replacements provides anecdotal evidence that you are wrong.
Yes, some products last longer than they used to (cars?), but I think that many durable goods sold today are nowhere near as durable as their predecessors.
Birkenstock has seen dozens of stores at a time hawking its Arizona Sandal for $79.99, a full $20 below the retail price. The names of the online storefronts change all the time... On a single day in mid-June, CNBC sent notes to seven sellers on the list, asking how they're able to price the product so cheaply. Every response was the same: "It is a secret."
Those are obviously counterfeits.
Or, given that the gross profit margin on those sandals must be quite high when sold in the USA, they could be grey market imports: sold for resale in a low cost country and then imported into the USA.
Sounds like a reaction to a sudden event. If the job's changing under you without notice,
It wasn't just the people from the acquired company who gave zero notice, it was people from the acquiring company. And it went on for the 18 months that I was there. In fact, I may have given zero notice when leaving: I don't remember.
One other pertinent fact, I am pretty sure that anyone who gave 2 weeks or more notice would be immediately walked out of the door, so any notice period was moot.
This isn't an issue, as long as there is a human controlling the robot.
It's like saying that using a rifle raises issues because the rifle is isn't close to the target. Using the robot merely slows down the process of moving the killing object from the source to the target.
It already has worked. For example, Walgreens recently dumped the pilot they were doing with Theranos.
The free market wasn't responsible for that. Walgreens only dumped Theranos because of the government laws and regulations. It was a regulatory investigation of Theranos that discovered the issues.
When I first moved to California, I worked for a company that had just bought the company that I actually was hired into.
Everyone who left around that time gave zero notice.
Most of the people leaving were stating in the industry so could expect to come across former bosses and colleagues in the future. No one was worried about the zero notice: it was just considered normal practice.
I agree with your premise, but just to nit here, "auto" is short for "automatic",
Not necessarily. "auto-" can be a prefix which means "self", as the GP posted. It can mean "automatic", when used in some compound words, but if you look at those words, the "self" is implied. So "autopilot" really does mean "self-piloting". The alternative would be "remote control".
TL;DR: "auto" implies that the device does not rely on external control for its function.
I doubt this. Perhaps when compared to the billions that she was worth before her net worth is close to zero.
Unless she is a complete dunce, she will have paid herself millions from the money that investors put into the company. She should have a few millions left over. Hardly billionaire status, but not too shabby either. She will probably get a nice position at a VC company, making millions on the basis of here "experience".
What they show is that if there's a complaint against a cop in this regard, they have a 15% chance of being fired, and a 4% chance of being jailed. That's - taking it pretty seriously. I can't think of any other organisation that has anything like that sort of strike rate for misconduct.
No, you idiotic apologist for the surveillance state. This isn't 2,315 complaints. This is 2,315 cases where a complaint would have been found to be true. This is 2,315 cases where some action should have been taken. I am not saying that the action should result in a criminal complaint, or firing, but it should have resulted in at least a warning, on the record, for the officer involved.
âoeThe Metropolitan Police Service takes data security very seriously and will take robust action where it is shown that any of its 45,000 officers or staff have fallen short of their legal responsibilities or the Code of Ethics,â a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told Motherboard in an email.
"Robust action": You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
They take no action in the majority of cases then wonder why people are skeptical of giving them more powers to see what ordinary people are doing.
The problem with that is then you're stuck talking to the offshore guy (I broke a desk phone handset slamming it so hard in frustration once.).
I can understand this. I bought an HP multi-function device which was defective. On its first and any subsequent power-up it gave an error. It took approximately 40 minutes to go through its power up routine and get to the error.
The support made me go this process twice. Once with the first level support and again with the second level. The second level support did not ask me to do anything different. I wasted 40 minutes of my life because the second level support apparently did not communicate with (or perhaps did not believe) the first level support.
My level of frustration at the end of this was very high.
I have recently had a system installed. The peak output is less than the inverter is rated at, and significantly less than the total DC rating of the panels. I suspect that the installers have limited the max AC output, since the peak output I see varies by less than 1%. I suspect that the panels could degrade significantly and my system's peak output would be unaffected.
On the other hand. the output at less than peak may be affected by degradation, but that is much more difficult to see. I think that the installer has built in a significant margin on their guaranteed production.
I don't see how this is not an exclusive agreement.
Yes, it's not an agreement in writing, but the landlord and the ISP clearly agree that no other ISP will be able to sell to tenants. How is that not exclusive?

By London 4, he might have meant Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and "London Luton"?
That's my point. The airbag might save your life in an accident, or it might kill you.

Armed police were are at the airports in the UK long before 9/11 (or even 11/9, in the UK)
Since the PCB layout is stolen, surely there is a copyright violation here. Can't they register the copyright and then DMCA away the counterfeits?

No, a real issue would be autonomous killing devices. They are coming and will probably be in use before there is general awareness of them. Their use is more likely after that experiment that showed an autonomous robot pilot was better than a skilled human pilot.
I think that a better analogy is that not running AV is like disabling the Takata airbag on your Honda.

So, yes, Pandora does have ads.
Remember that business where companies stream video programming over the airwaves ... It seems to be doing OK.
Thereby encouraging websites to continue to think that Linux doesn't matter.
Have you tried not spoofing your user agent? I don't and I don't see any issues other than the need for plugins that are not available under Linux.

umm no. It's because the car ends up (or should end up) parallel to the curb.
