CETA contains provisions that would compel countries to implement Internet censorship through site blocking
So while that little nugget main be treaty binding to other nations, it's NOT applicable to the US as the 1st Amendment will always trump what's in a treaty when the two are in direct conflict of each other. Treaties do trump local and state laws however. But that is nothing new. Regardless, CETA is a shit of a treaty all around.
Path of lease resistance. We could, and do in fact, clean up or own pollution and have strict emission standards. But yes, if it's cost prohibitive, the manufacturing will be put overseas. Now, you can't really blame Federal regulations too much as the outsourcing would have happened regardless, but without question, it did hasten the process.
As for the filth that goes on in developing nations; I'm sorry, but China can clean up its own mess. They're a sovereign nation. If the people are that oppressed to have any change, perhaps they should revolt. Meaning, not our fucking problem!!!
My all time favorite is when AT&T thought it was a good idea to make public IP DHCP lease expiration every 10 seconds or so. Effectively causing some routers to drop the WAN link and thus terminating any and all file transfers.
Well, perhaps the Russian mafia that's behind these attacks have political connections too? Meaning, in the interests of Russia, why would they stop??!
Technically, if it's from some KGB endorsed Russian mafia, fuck-all is going to happen. So while it might be an official act of war by Russia to the US, nothing will ever happen in the New Cold War short of a thermonuclear exchange.
Cyber warfare. Get used to it. There won't be justice.
And when you have 50% unemployment as robotics take over, you can either kill the undesirables in the population, or give em bread and circuses.
I would imagine future governments take a position of - "You, guy, the one that can't get a job and has no future; here, take this VR unit and go home. Oh, and here's your EBT card and unlimited VR pr0n. Now GO AWAY!!!"
1: Does it require the subject's cooperation to erase the memories?
Yes. Fundamentally, when you recall a memory (including phobias), the act of recalling it leaves the memory in a chemically vulnerable state as it has to be "re-written" when you're done. It's not like computer storage where you can read the same data over and over without fear of tampering with the original content. In the brain, all memories being recalled get modified at some level.
Basically, the phobia is recalled by the subject. He or she takes a pill that will block the re-writing of the memory process. After several sessions, the phobia is severally diminished if not outright eliminated. I would imagine this technique could condition the perfect soldier to not fear the battlefield. A true "disposable hero".
2: Can they be retrieved by some means later, if necessary?
I don't think so. Once the memory has been modified, that's it. I doubt there (but do not know) equivalent of shadow copies of pathways like a hard drive has a shadow copy of data per the filesystem.
"Migrants working in the United States sent a staggering $120 billion back to their families last year, it was revealed today.
The amount of money being sent by migrants across the entire world reached $530 billion last year, making it a larger economy than Iran or Argentina, the data from the World Bank showed.
This worldwide figure has tripled in the last ten years and is now three times bigger than the total aid budgets given by countries around the world. It has sparked debate whether this so-called remittance money could be a viable alternative to relying on help from other governments.
In the United States last year, more than $120 billion was sent by workers to families abroad - making it the largest sender of remittances in the world. More than $23 billion went to Mexico, $13.45 billion to China, $10.84 billion to India and $10 billion to the Philippines, among other recipients."
Exactly! After the fall of the wall, what was East Germany became a huge drag on the economy. Yes, there is strength in numbers when it comes to productive and trade. However, if you have a huge imbalance, that takes time to (pardon the pun) work itself out.
Human are apex predators. In nature, "cheating" doesn't exist as it's a moral construct. But for the last part of our relatively long evolutionary period, we've found strength in numbers. We've become civilized. We understand game theory. In that, cheating has caustic social consequences in the long term that we've as a society have shunned.
Just be professional about it. Tell him that there seems to be a mix of personal and company data, and to please separate the two and transfer any business relevant data to the server where it belongs. Personal data can to stored to an external drive or we can wipe it along with the rest of the internal drive.
Let them sort it out. Only they know what's what among all that data. There's no need to be involved in the sorting process.
Well yes, that's why some cars have the gears staggered down the line instead of a strait throw up and down. For example, in the 2010 RAV4, by feel it's from P, to the right, and strait all the way down; where it ends is D. 4 through L are all staggered. I personally like this arrangement as I can flip between D and 4 with a fick of my wrist left or right.
Now take a 2009 Honda Civic as an example: half the time I'll throw it into D or 3. It's rather annoying.
Let me translate that for you in Gov-Speak - "We will outsource IT security oversea to India! It will save money, we will get the best and brightest minds in IT, and, the whole system is mobile so we can transfer to another countr..err..company should their performance drop".
And the Chinese is next in line for that contract. Why hack the servers when YOU'RE HOSTING THEM. Yeah baby yeah!!!
LOL, it was NEVER about science. It was all about establishing FUD so that taxation and social engineering can be put inlace to protect the politicians / elite of society. You didn't think they would ever eat the dog food brought about their own policies to combat AGW did you?
Well yeah, all the money is in analytics. Google, IBM, Political Science, basically anything involving statistics and analytics is going to be future-proof as far as jobs are concerned. It's one thing to crunch the data, but it's quite another to understand it well enough to do modeling.
Between these hackers and Hillary Clinton keeping top secret info on her server, frankly, I don't think anyone cares anymore. We have an incompetent government elected by incompetent people. What the fuck can an smart and intelligent person such as myself do? I'm surrounded by a hoard of blooming idiots!
Yes, the SSD does have a separate tracking algorithm to manage dynamic LBA mapping to cells for wear-leveling. And yes, and abrupt power outage can corrupt and brick the drive. The OCZ Vertex series have a history of this happening where it can't decrypt (internal) and mount the value due to said corruption. Newer SSDs such as the prosumer and enterprise variety include extra capacitance to ensure half-writes don't occur and thus recover from both a firmware and OS journaling file system error.
Some swapping of live data occurs, but having extra slack free space to move around in helps the algorithm better work within those constraints. In fact, Samsung provides a utility called Magician to manage Over Provisioning for extended life. It's not required, but ostensibly it does help.
In short, you can pay Adblock not to see the ads, or pay a website micro-transaction (few cents to a dollar a year??) to the site directly not to see the ads. Things that makes you go "hmmmmm".

Environmental regulations were anything but minor.

No it wont. Politics. Every facet of American politics revolve around a battle between rural vs urban. It's all about the votes.

And no doubt Robert Schoch and cranks like him continue to troll Dr. Zahi Hawass.
Doesn't matter, John Roberts killed the Rule of Law via legislating from the bench via an "intent" ruling.

I like the P-R-N-D-4-3-2-L layout on the Toyota RAV4. Very functional and safe IMHO. Pretty hard to fuck that up.
