When this tech gets simple enough that any suicidal mass-murderer can get ahold of one, no low-flying aircraft will be safe - which means no aircraft taking off or landing in a populated area will be safe.
It's worth noting, however, that changing any of these options may disable various OS related services, namely Cortana, as Microsoft's digital assistant has it tendrils buried deep.
If the city is not required to video their meetings and they have the authority to prohibit video cameras in council chambers, don't be surprised if future meetings are not recorded.
... or is it that their parents encourage, empower, and outright pressure them into doing the very things that will make them more likely to enter a high-tech field?
You show me a 100 kids that live for 18+ years under a pressure-to-perform environment and I'll show you 100 kids that are generally less happy, better educated, and more likely to suffer burnout than their peers. Those that don't burn out or rebel in a self-destructive way will be much better prepared for "brain work" when they are in their mid-20s than their peers who weren't pressured so much. I'm not saying they will be happier, only that as a group, they will be better prepared for "brain work."
For some series and serials, if you want to write in that "universe" you have to abide by the "Bible."
Back in the day these were printed manuals saying what you could and could not put in your story. I assume they are available in non-dead-tree form these days.
Much of the computer industry is already offshored and many more will be if US paychecks rise relative to the rest of the world.
Some jobs like running wires and installing equipment has to be done locally.
A lot more has to be done domesticly or is too expensive to offshore for legal/regulatory-compliance reasons or fear of a non-US government sniffing the wire.
As for the rest, it's ours to keep as long as we can do it better and more efficiently than the rest of the world. Dropping HB-1 visas may actually depress non-US wages making offshoring more attractive than it already is for many businesses.
If you get a car with no radio-control and a "dumb AM/FM radio" that isn't linked to the "car" part of the car, then you should be hack-proof to almost* anyone without physical access.
This means no remote-engine-start, no "OnStar"-like services, no remote-entry, and probably no cell-phone-through-the-car-speakers, etc. etc. etc.
* While there is always the theoretical ability to "beam" a signal to a wire in your car, the difficulty of doing do in anything more than a blunt fashion makes this unattractive to hackers. If a hacker wants to crash your car remotely, there are easier ways to do it and if he wants to do anything else, well, it will probably be easier for him to run you off the road, kill you, and steal the keys.
Let's be clear here - we are talking about one particular software package - albeit a very popular one - and not the underlying protocol (which itself is subject to errata, some of which are still under discussion).
Be careful not to over-optimize for the general case, or you'll lose intuition and you'll lose the benefit of police who are more successful doing things "their own way" than "the way that works for most police officers."
If Joe Officer is an excellent officer but he's not quite "normal" (maybe he's a bit autism-spectrum or way more able to pick up on facial cues than the average cop) telling him "do it the way the scientists tell us is the best way for the average cop or you'll be fired [because if we don't fire you and something goes wrong we'll be sued into bankruptcy]" means turning an excellent cop into an average cop or worse, losing him altogether if he quits in frustration.
* Proof of pre-1923 publication or that it is a US Government work (neither are applicable in your case) * Proof of a legal, authorized-by-the-rightsholder publication without the required "formalities" back when publishing without them automatically put the work into the public domain * A court ruling that the work was in the public domain and it's obvious (or can be proven) that no quirks in the law like foreign-copyright-restoration apply * A formal, authoritative opinion by the US Copyright Office that the work is in the public domain (fat chance getting this for any work created after 1923) * A formal, authoritative legal opinion by the state Attorney General in the state that YouTube is legally incorporated in that the work is in the public domain (I just threw this in for completeness sake - it's almost certainly not applicable to you) * Proof of an exhaustive search of all copyright renewals showing that none of the relevant copyrights were renewed
If you have the money, your most sure-fire bet is to either do a copyright-renewal search or to go to court to get a declaration that your work does not infringe on any of the copyrights that YouTube is alleging you might be infringing. However, for your purposes - to "monetize" the video on YouTube - this will cost you way more than it's worth unless you can get the EFF or some other entity to foot your legal bills.
The sad reality is that if you aren't able to throw lots of money at the issue, you can't afford to do what it takes to win. On the other hand, if you were making a movie with a 9-figure budget it might be cheaper in the long run to do a copyright-renewal search or get a court to declare your works non-infringing than to pay the dane-geld to everyone who came to you claiming you owe them money for copyright clearances. Of course, getting a court to declare your work non-infringing from a copyright stance would do nothing to protect you from trademark-related lawsuits.
A "rock star" is just someone who is so talented and so rare that many companies and organizations are willing to bend or break the normal rules to attract them and keep them around.
We've always had them, now we just have a name for them.
* The high school sports star who gets a position on the starting lineup of a major college team the first game of his Freshman year * The freshly-minted Ph.D. who wants a professorship (vs. a business career) and gets to bypass the normal tenure process * The police-academy graduate whose talent is so obvious that he bypasses the normal promotion rules * The soldier who is rushed through the ranks or sent to Officer Training School without the normal formal per-requisites * The businessman who through obvious super-talent gets the ear of investors far easier than most entrepreneurs * The high school golfer who gets sponsorships so he can bypass "Q-school" (golf's "qualifying school" - you normally need to go here for awhile in order to play in top-level tournaments) * The high school baseball player who gets drafted into pro ball at age 18 and who winds up in the Major Leagues at age 19 * The garage-band rock musician with the talent (and luck) to become a literal "rock star" * The programmer who is obviously in the top-few-percentiles of productivity of his peers and obviously several times as productive as his peers and who can command the salary and perks that go along with that productivity. * The "not only a jack of all trades but a master of many" who may be merely "well above average" in his primary role but he brings so much related talent to the table that he can command the same super-sized salary and perks as the programmer I just mentioned. An example would be a manager with well-above-average management skills who is still at least an above-average designer and above-average coder and who finds the time to keep up with all the latest relevant tech.
These people existed long before we started calling them "rock stars".
"Most common 1000 words" is great for making a point.
Far more practical would be using a vocabulary that almost all 10-year-old native speakers can read and that a vast majority of non-native speakers who have spent the last few years living in a English-speaking environment (that is, an environment that pretty much forces you to learn to speak and read English at a basic level in order to survive).
I would expect this to be far more than 1000 words.
There are probably hundreds, maybe thousands, of Ebola survivors from past outbreaks who are still alive.
If enough of them can be tracked down and studied, we may be able to say "yep, this post-Ebola syndrome is nothing new, we just didn't notice it until now due to the low number of survivors."
If you are injuncted against publishing in your country, having someone else publish it somewhere else counts as you publishing it,
I doubt it.
I don't see how this timeline can be "contempt of court" in a country that actually (vs. theoretically) values free speech, etc.:
* Monday I put information in escrow abroad, saying "no matter what, release this a year from now, and if I or anyone else contacts you in this manner between now and then, release it immediately" * Tuesday, I contact a company and share my disclosure with them * Wednesday I get an injunction * Thursday I fight the injunction and notify the judge of what I did on Monday * The judge knows that he can order me to contact the overseas party holding the data in escrow but that any attempt to do will backfire and nothing I say or do now to comply with his order will change that * The judge knows the odds of his getting a foreign government to seize the data before it is released are zero * The judge knows that if he tries to hold me in contempt for doing something BEFORE the case ever hit a courtroom he will be overturned on appeal * The judge knows that, barring specific situations like state secrets or bankruptcy fraud where criminal statutes may come into play, the only remedy for the other company is to sue me for damages, and that since the data isn't released yet, any suit for damages is likely premature.

because only google routers would do that, nobody else would ever do such a thing
In Soviet Russia, Google Routers search YOU!
[This would be a lot funnier if it was Kasperksy instead of Google, but I digress...]
You got it backwards, your Router will be sucking your data and sending it off to who-knows-where.
Oh wait, you were talking about the ads your router will be sucking down for you. I stand corrected.

It's just a very very old one.
Fortran - which is still in wide use - and Plankalkül (not so much) are older.
The compression store will live in the System process's working set.

All kidding aside, I hope Microsoft (and Apple and other vendors before now) have given this more thought than their adversaries.
Linux or another open-source routing software?
