As pointed out by another poster, the vehicle was not marked in any way as an ambulance. Personally, I have issues with it, but from a legal perspective, it's not a war crime. Also, again IIRC, the "loading the wounded" part was NOT the reason for the "collateral murder" narrative, it was ancillary to the "zOMG, they're shooting at armed people in a war zone" outrage.
Armed combatants in a war zone tend to get shot at. You can debate the reasons for the war all you want to, you can debate the overall conduct of the combatants, you can certainly call out things like abu Ghraib, but this particular action does not war crime make.
Of course that's what his hosts are saying about him, that they didn't think it was healthy for him to continue to be under house arrest like he was.
Not an Assange fan, but I'm pretty sure the small room in the embassy is going to beat the 23 hours a day in solitary in a 6x8 room, which is what he has to look forward to after extradition to the US.
The actions in the footage are not crimes under the Laws of Land Warfare as outlined in the various conventions.
IIRC, there's one part of the video that's questionable. At one point during the action, a vehicle pulls up to load the wounded and is destroyed. Other than that, yes, this was manufactured controversy, and the clip's name "collateral murder" was just click bait.
Maybe we'll get lucky and republicans will drift left on social issues which would please the libertarian wing of the party and give the old school liberals who are being purged by the progressives somewhere to flee to.
Of all people, privacy commissioner should understand that a system that could proactively prevent "live streaming of suicides, rapes, and murders" would be extremely hostile to concepts of both privacy and all forms of freedom of expression.
Maybe he does? The best way to destroy something threatening is to be in charge of it, after all.
Basically what is happening here is you have provided M$ with a interest free loan here. It is not what it was supposed to be, but it is essentially what happened here.
Not in the least. Microsoft held your money and in return you got access to the books that you would have otherwise purchased elsewhere. No one has suffered any harm here (except the people who made annotations, THAT really sucks).
The researcher has been using one of the security flaws he discovered to insert fake GPS coordinates in people's location history.
Aaaaannd this is where the "white hat" crossed the line. I'm looking forward to the story a few weeks/months from now where we get to be outraged that an "innocent white hat hacker" was arrested for "exposing vulnerabilities" (and not for "fucking with data that wasn't his").
SD-WAN "competes" with MPLS in the sense that the vendors want you to ditch your expensive MPLS links for their offering that runs on commodity internet bandwidth. They do offer some decent features (everything after the first couple of hops is typically private network, so latency is fairly predictable/manageable/comparable to MPLS), they can bake in WAN acceleration, redundancy is trivial, etc.
In the end, though, they cost as much (or more than!) MPLS. Typical cloud business model of replacing what you have that works with something you don't control that may or may not work better and costs more.
You're begging the question, here. What you've linked to just says "put it back the way it was under Obama." The guy you're replying to said "Trump asked congress to introduce such a bill to codify NN into law, not executive policy."
So in the end, this is still executive policy, but it's even worse than that--because the legislature (who is supposed to make laws) is not doing their job, they're telling the executive what their rules are supposed to be. It's not supposed to work that way.
I went to an interview and was handed a programming test to implement a web based vending machine. The test also required implementing a service that mocked a credit card processor.
Pfft, no problem. Mine even handles multiple card processors.
Based on what I've heard from my VZW guys, you can shave five years off that number, their deployment plan is extremely aggressive. They're also investing in their own backhaul where possible rather than contracting out to the ILEC and are stringing/putting fiber in the ground everywhere. Should be interesting to watch.
Exactly. It's the fact that these services silo you into their service with their exclusive content is why all this "competition" has not lead to lower prices..
Except in this exact case we are discussing, where the cost to the game developer is 40% lower than the competition?
I realize that it's tradition here to ignore citations, but if you'd read the link I provided you will see that the US is actually ahead of the UK (by a whopping one country). We're talking about distinctions so small that normal people don't give a rats ass about them (which of course is why that when it comes to a political argument, these small distinctions are magnified by orders of magnitude and we get words like "plummeting.")
Big companies seem to tilt heavily toward the process side, while small companies and especially start ups seem to tilt heavily toward the people side. Interestingly, start up that get big enough eventually succumb to the sirens of process over people.
It's not really that interesting.
When a company is small, "key people" have huge impact--they will literally make or break the business. As a company grows, key people have less of an impact (because the amount of work that they do shrinks relative to the whole amount of work) and the need for consistency drives the company from "El Cubano will have it done by monday" to "All work needs to be executed according to the standard, which is defined by process X."
Small organizations that are defined by process will die because they will be suffocated by bureaucratic friction, and large organizations that are NOT defined by process will die because they will lack the ability to execute.
There just aren't enough towers to triangulate a phone's location using mobile network signals as well as a phone can triangulate its own location using GPS signals
Wait for 5G to be widely deployed, the number of "towers" involved is insane. The planning looks more like a wireless mesh network than a traditional mobile network (lots of small installations on traffic lights/light poles rather than large installations in high spots).
No, it will go to Teacher Unions to fund the next "my turn" candidates doomed White House run. I'm not supporting the GOP here, just upset that Democrats erected the stupid "super-delegates" and rigged primary election process.
Both parties have super delegates, not just the Democrats (though the Democrats have more of them, IIRC). There isn't really anything wrong with them. Primaries are for selecting the party's candidate for the general election. It's reasonable for the party to want to have a counterbalance against populism, or an attempted hijack of the party. Hence, super-delegates, who are universally party insiders and presumably have the party's best interests in mind. The super delegates are part of the process, everyone knows about them, and election strategies account for them.
On the other hand, when a small group in the party conspires to put their thumb on the scale to get a candidate selected, in secret, THAT is where you have a problem (i.e. the coronation of Hillary, and the attempt by Republican leadership to freeze out Trump. To be fair, I think posterity will likely wish they would have succeeded in the latter case).
You're talking about the criminology "broken window theory."
The GP was talking about the "broken window fallacy" which states that breaking windows is good for the economy, because it puts money into circulation--your window gets broken, so you pay the glazier to replace it. The glazier pays the tailor for new clothes, the tailor buys a loaf of bread from the baker, etc.

Why not. Biology is just applied physics and applied chemistry after all
Chemistry is actually just applied physics. Obligatory XKCD.

The linked story states that the legislature was the issue. Are you seriously suggesting that the California legislature is a conservative body?

Sorry, 60%. One of the few times I wish I could edit a /. post.

Or, you could recognize that "plummeting" is hyperbole, as a US passport is good for travel to just one less country than the "best" passport, which is Singapore.

Apologies--I see where my wording was poor and I'm stating "the fallacy states this is good for the economy." My bad.
Yes, that would be the "fallacy" part.
On the other hand. Your car is too old. We're not going to allow you to buy gasoline here.
Sorry.
