bloody mobile phone is playing something loosely called "music" over the shittiest, tinny piezoelectric "speaker" you ever heard. I have personally experienced this scenario while walking the Milford Track (NZ) and in Torres del Payne (Chile). I can only imagine how much worse it would be _with_ coverage: Youtube videos turned up to 11, incessant need to share the latest "news" from home, inattentive walking in dangerous places etc. If your region's livelihood depends on people coming to experience wilderness then this kind of behaviour is frankly detrimental to that. All power to the Icelanders for trying to keep a lid on it.
If safety is the primary concern then set up a PLB rental service for walkers.
Might take more than 5 seconds but it will happen given the small number of targets. The existing court orders would need to be extended to to cover non-parties to the original law suits, or new suits raised with handy precedent, and the Copyright Act might need to change to cover entities other than "carriage service providers" (which may not cover Cloudflare at the moment). Nothing that money cannot buy.
It is not "better" for me, but this behaviour should have an interesting, unintended effect for Australian users of Firefox. Australian ISPs are, for the most part, subject to a series of court orders requiring them to serve fake IP addresses when asked for The Pirate Bay, Rarbg etc. That fake address leads a browser to a information/warning page. It is trivially circumvented for tech savvy users by not using the ISP DNS. It strikes me that this change will, at least in the short term, make Firefox automatically circumvent these court orders and make TPB et al. available again to the masses. For some this is "better."
No, the complaint made, "A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law." The "good faith" and "belief" weasel words in the code basically excuse almost anything in respect of what they claim is infringing. Good faith is typically defined as, "Honesty; a sincere intention to deal fairly with others." Since the complainant's position is that infringers should be fined/jailed on accusation, rather than proof, then they sincerely believe that offering anything less than jail/fines is dealing fairly with others.
I had to read the headline a few times before I realised that Musk was not calling the "Boss of Tesla" a "Troll Who's Heavily Invested In Oil Industry." Seemed odd that Musk would attack the head of his own company as an enemy agent... but then Musk has said some off-the-rails things recently.
Why would a single warship be carrying that much gold?
I don't know, maybe to deny the enemy its use in the event of invasion, or to pay someone for materiel? The UK moved huge amounts of gold and other valuables to Canada in warships during World War 2, e.g. Operation Fish. None were sunk but if attacked would have fought.
Indeed, but here is the bit I didn't initially get... if it starts recording when it hears an audio signal from a TV or the like then surely what it records will mostly be the audio from said TV. If the trigger is at the start of an advert and then starts recording then they would the record the audio of the ad... something they already know. If they collect say 10 seconds of audio from before the trigger event and run for ad-length-plus- 20 seconds they get to hear the content that precedes and follows. I could see this being useful to advertisers trying to verify the honesty of the broadcasters. You'd generate verifiable trace of the ad being broadcast. You could see when you ad triggers a channel change. You could also verify compliance with contract conditions stipulating that your ad not run next to competitor's adverts, inside certain shows etc. These are thing FB could make money from: privacy be damned.
The radiation exposure issue was well sorted during the Apollo missions and the dose clearly did not kill the astronauts within a period of decades. The trans-lunar trajectory was specifically designed to avoid spending significant time in the van Allen radiation zone. There was quite a detailed analysis available until late last year some time but now only in the archives: https://web.archive.org/web/20...
Then why is Sexual assault predominantly men assaulting women? If the drive were equal, I would expect there to be a roughly equal amount of harassment going in both directions. The data simply does not support that assertion
The data is self-reported and subject to pressures that skew that reporting. You cannot blindly accept that the absence of data, say for prosecutions, represents the reality of actual offences. That is not to say that is does not reflect reality, just that you need to be careful generalising.
I see two aspects at play here. First, perhaps sexual assault is not about the sexual act but more about the feeling of power the assaulter gains. In that circumstance desire for sexual intercourse, which is likely balanced given the amount of breeding that goes on, is secondary to a desire to dominate. Secondly, prosecuted sexual assault is predominantly of men against women but that does not mean that the reverse is not happening. I suspect that the nature of the assaults will be different. Women, in general, cannot physically overpower a man so perhaps these assaults tend to be of less destructively physical nature and therefore less likely to be reported or prosecuted. Assaults are generally self-reported which, as any rape victim will tell you, is a major hurdle to overcome. In the worse cases, would you, as a man, be willing to front a police station and "admit" to being overpowered by a woman? Would you expect to be taken seriously?
Even if it clears the current history pile, it then carries right on collecting a new one from the very next click. You are still uniquely identified and have more-or-less proven yourself a human being rather than some robot account: you may have actually increased the value of the new history.
As usual the music cartel want their cut from revenue as if the cost of storing, managing, and delivering their product for them is zero. The cartel well knows that if it was "of profit" their own "Hollywood accounting" would be used against them.
Perhaps now the information collected under loose "we can share it with anyone" agreements is of detriment to the State (when used by an enemy) something good will come of it. Mandatory, perhaps also with discretionary, geo-fencing of the data collection, or on-device-only options, for example. Not just Strava but all of these services. Unfortunately, this data works both ways: the "Good Guys" can use similar methods against "Bad Guys." Maybe our "Good Guys" feel that exploiting this data is more valuable than protecting their own troops/targets.
The broker company's turn over is the money they bring in from the transaction fees not the total value of the transactions the fees are levied on (that money is someone else's). That $1B revenue from transaction fees would represent something like $100-400B in transactions brokered. The day in which 36,000 BTC was traded represents a commission between 90 and 360BTC: about 990,000 to 3,960,000 USD at present values.
No. Firstly, Ticket Sales does not equal Profit (Hollywood accounting will make very sure that "profit" looks nothing at all like reality in any case). Secondly, greed knows no bounds.
A greenhouse would probably compromise your ability to use the roof space for solar PV; a bit of a balancing act would be required to see where the cost-benefit fell.

This exclusion has been with us for a while regardless of whether data is metered on not.

b) Use the Google Authenticator app instead, it's a fuckton better than SMS anyway.
So I avoid providing a phone number to Google service X by using a Google app on a device almost certainly tied explicitly to my phone number.

What is? Referring the matter to a judge, limiting media ownership/control, interfering with "free" market forces, something else?

Yes, just like in the United States, for example, Form 8300 and Reporting Cash Payments of Over $10,000.

Nah, it's the Australian $100. Been around since 1996 and you don't need as many per executive bonus.
Do tell, "How shall we fuck off, oh Lord?"
IP over avian carrier would probably work faster than the present NBN in many areas.
