The spokesperson clearly explained that you're supposed to hold it with your fingers inside thick gloves (but not too thick, because those keys are tiny) because you're supposed to hold it inside a walk-in freezer.
That's a terrible analogy. A suicide bomber intentionally and directly harms those victims. A person who committed suicide does not harm another intentionally or directly.
Do you really think civil-law countries never face the same question? They don't have binding precedent in the way common law countries do, but a convincing argument usually remains convincing.
There are literally centuries of case law on how to handle privacy and copy rights in personal letters and similar communications. Your question has been answered many, many times.
The appeals court ruling on this, that the parents could not access their dead daughter's account, always seemed wonky to me. Dead people don't usually have enforceable rights -- those devolve to the person's heirs. I'm glad the higher court corrected the error.
How do you know they didn't do that in this case? The lady who filed this complaint was the guy's girlfriend. She doesn't claim to be his next of kin or executor or anything like that.
You'll note that neither article nor summary say the executor of his estate asked Facebook for the info. Rather, they suggest -- by saying the dead guy's "partner" was "sure" neither a friend nor family member asked -- that more than one party might have legitimately made the request.
And of course it hasn't been "settled for ages" whether GDPR rights are extinguished by death, because GDPR itself hasn't been settled for ages.
That doesn't mean anything. Once you die, do your GDPR rights disappear? If not, who gets to request deletion of your data? Whether you're dead or not, what prevents an impersonator from requesting your data be deleted? Is there any exception from the requirement to delete your data that allows the data processor to preserve information about your request to delete all your data, so that a company can answer demands like the one in this lawsuit?
If its presence is disclosed before the customer perfects the contract, or it is easy to remove or disable, there probably isn't a legal problem. Without an opt-out mechanism, though, it would probably be a conspiracy to violate anti-wiretapping laws.
What will be interesting is what happens when the person who knows about it is out of the room when someone else gets recorded...
We look at combined price of CPU and motherboard because almost everyone buys those two together. Who cares if AMD's high end $800 processor needs a $300 motherboard if Intel's high end desktop processor costs $2000 sans motherboard?
That's not racism, it's a recognition that "tribal" similarities -- skin color and social situation among them -- tend to discourage gratuitous violence against members of the in-group.
This algorithm was able to figure out how to solve Rubik's Cube with no help from humans other than humans providing the (simulated) cubes, describing what the solution looks like, and designing an algorithm specific to solving Rubik's Cube?
"Bruce Perens defamed the plaintiffs" and "the plaintiffs violated copyright law" is not a true dichotomy. Zero, one, or both statements could be true in the abstract. This court case only resolved the first question.
Why do you think Perens paid that much? EFF certainly paid some (I have no idea what fraction), and his other lawyers might have worked on a contingency basis, having faith that courts would get this right.
The Florida Constitution can't override the federal requirement that FFLs use NICS before delivering a firearm. In a lot of cases, the NICS determination is effectively instant.
Match the sales of what? This was for concealed carry licenses, not buying guns. The background checks for those are done by dealers, who are auditable and who face very strong penalties for not doing it right.
Intel's current 28-core Xeon runs at 2.1 GHz (3.8 GHz turbo), not 5 GHz. Intel said that this CPU would be released in Q4 of this year. Take off your fanboi hat for a moment and pay attention.

How many troll armies have been unleashed on the United States, trying to stir up dissent and unrest using tactics like these?
That's not what chilling effect means at all.

Arbitrary disclosure of that kind of information would run afoul of the GDPR. They may need a court order to be legally allowed to release the info.

Between GDPR and this case, how is a company like Facebook supposed to know whether it should preserve or delete data?

Color me less than impressed.

Username checks out.
Thank goodness for stupid criminals.
All the stupid administrators in the world would really be up the creek without a paddle if many criminals were smart.

To be honest, nothing Intel can currently touch this new chip either, because they won't be selling it for about six months.
If your workload is that parallel, there's a reasonable chance you can farm it out to multiple machines.
