Your example depends largely on your jurisdiction. Some have successfully allowed thieves to sue because they got injured breaking and entering, others allow you to beat or shoot to death anyone who appears on your lawn.
The question is indeed whether they had knowledge that a convicted sex offender was using their site as bait or alternatively whether they had made a promise of background checks and legitimacy of all parties and failed to fulfill that promise . It's a tall order to prove that, if this is a craigslist type site for models, the assumption of risk should at all times remain with all parties involved. If I get murdered or raped because I wanted to buy a $15 lawn mower from CL, why would CL be liable? Do you hold a classic paper liable for the ads that appear? What if a magazine were to advertise a drug that later turned out to be harmful or even fraudulent, would you hold all advertising channels for homeopathic "cures" liable?
The standards exist. However professional builders want to lock your smart house in their own software packages and DIY-grade want to lock you into only buying their brand (DLink, Philips, Honeywell, GE,...). It's hell trying to find something that interoperates correctly across brands even if they support a standard like ZWave.
How are you going to enforce this? The majority of "smart" devices are shipped directly from China and don't even have things like manuals, English text or UL listings let alone up to date software. I've seen some heavy duty equipment even that have 200W lasers ship with an aquarium pump and software that runs only on XP with Windows 95 compatibility.
If you still have the screen up, you didn't log out. By default, all Unices have had it default that a logout causes termination of your scripts. Unless you're root or have something that keeps your session active (eg. the screen command if your admin allows it).
At arms length, knives are the only effective weapon. I think Mythbusters did that once, it's much faster to charge into an opponent with a knife than accurately pull and aim a gun (it's like 3 or 5m or slightly more but most 'close combat' situations will be better with a non-gun weapon)
what's your advice? Don't What downsides of JS on the server and in Node.js have a real-world effect? Scalability and lack of threads (unless you do tricksy things), lack of optimization. Sure you can throw more hardware at the issue, but if all you can pay for is a 300MB RAM, 1 core on a 1.2GHz 2nd Gen. Intel Core VPS, LAMP (or rather nginx) will easily maintain 10k hits per second for dynamic pages. Is callback hell really a thing? Yes, pure OOP in general is an issue when you need any sort of state And what is the state of free and open-source Node products...? There is a 'framework' for just about any solution. If you call every CMS a 'framework', it never has to be finished/useable out of the box right? Is there any trend inside the Node.js camp on building a platform and CMS product that competes with the PHP camp whilst maintaining a sane architecture It's very hard to do it with classic programming in classic languages (like PHP or C), it's worse when everything is an object that has unreadable API's, different style, interwoven dependencies etc or is it all just a ball of hype with a huge mess of its own growing in the background, Rails-style? Isn't it always?
PHP works well because it's easy to learn and maintain, it may be easy to make really bad mistakes but it also means it's equally flexible. How many times I haven't cursed at Ruby or even Perl for 'tainting' a variable because someone deep, deep down did something funky like save state in a text file.
The problem with closed software, regardless of how amazing they may be, is that they're closed and eventually whatever company is making the software is either going to abandon the project or go out of business. It happens even with big software houses like Microsoft and Apple, they have abandoned some very excellent software products they respectively bought and made in favor of either established in-house software or totally different architectures.
I've run into that problem time and again, the only things I can count on is open source software to be either continuously developed or at least available to make fixes for.
You can't vote for or against the NSA, you can only vote or against someone which only informs a representative that may or may not vote the way you want them to. And it's not like you have a whole lot of choice in candidates, the only viable candidates have been and always will be the same people.
That seems more like a blog story than investigative journalism. "Oh, I tried buying a really bad gun, ubiquitously portrayed in movies as the 'bad guy gun' in private and got scammed, must mean it's impossible to buy guns illegally".
Do you really think German criminals don't have guns? Do you really think German border checks open every single container, crate or box?
Getting? First generation Muslims were equally radicalized however then-Europe didn't accept that. Now Europe must accept all sorts of religious nonsense or consider serious fines and even jail time for "hate" speech (even this comment could be construed as such). That and Muslims are breeding out natives by both natural propagation and force, the large cities like Paris and Brussels are no longer safe to the natives, a problem that started only a few decades ago.
I don't understand why it would be more expensive to house a person than to get rid of them regardless of the reason. The drugs can't cost that much and they're otherwise just regular prisoners.
The problem is that TWC for example returns addresses to servers they colocate for Google and Netflix but then either rate limit or overload those colocation centers so they don't have to peer.
My connection says 75Mbps even though a Speedtest says ~200Mbps and another test says ~400Mbps (this is a business line) so I think they may be a bit overloaded.
Alcohol metabolizes in your body fairly quickly, 6-48h depending on how much you had to drink. Alcohol is also a natural byproduct of certain food processes and ingredients. If you are an addict however, there would be signs of it in your urine and some labs test for it. THC and other drugs not so much, they stay in your body and potentially affect you for days which causes higher addiction rates.
Drug testing is also an easy way to keep criminals and flakey people out of your workplace, you can't trust a drug addict in a pharmacy nor would you want them driving a bus of school children.
ITunes installing shovelware? You must have been using some seriously compromised sources. Apple simply admitted they have had some complaints but can't reproduce the issue. This is equally as likely a bug in the underlying hardware or operating system than an iTunes bug or maybe even user incompetence (corrupt library files doesn't mean the data actually disappears).
Locally owned non-franchises do the EXACT same thing if they can afford it, I have even started a business around it that helps local businesses 'automate' portions of their businesses with RPi-controlled screens and it is starting to do quite well with over 20 locations right now.
Raising the minimum wage has always made LOCAL business owners go look for better ways of doing things or closing shop. But usually these raises have been gradually, $1 here, $1.50 there. Some places (like NY) are looking at practically doubling the minimum wage. Now, where you have 2 waitresses, you can now only afford 1, something has to give.
The big corporations would be the only ones that could afford the wage hike, they don't complain because they can afford to install an automated kiosk everywhere and their competition will evaporate. The local business owners not so much, they can't just shell out an additional $15k/year whether it be in wages or in automation.
This is the corporations responsibility to their shareholders though, to make more profits. That is how capitalism works and there is nothing (short of socialism and complete redistribution of wealth) you can do about it.
If corporations are forced to turn over their profits, what good would that do? Most people have a guaranteed minimum income in the US which is sufficient to sustain themselves and a family as long as they don't make heaps of bad decisions (you know, smoking, drinking, drugs, criminal activity, gambling), you seem to have a computer and the Internet, you are not only "not poor", but you also have the capacity of making heaps of money yourself and once you get there, you will want to protect your hard earned cash from the government taking it.
Food making machines already exist, I used to work for a company that made them. That's how McDonald's, Olive Garden and other chains get their food, it's prepared and partially/fully cooked in a factory, flash frozen and shipped only to be reheated/finished in a "restaurant". Those machines are huge and expensive though (they are really one-offs) but the burger flipper could easily be automated if wages rise any higher and the machine becomes cheaper than the collective wages of one of these chains.
You do have to consider that Germany's power prices are about two to three times as high as in the U.S and have risen 30% in the last decade (20c/kWh to 30c/kWh). Tesla harnessed some really cheap renewable energy in the early 1900's and it's still going, stable regardless of the weather. I pay 8c/kWh for primarily 'renewable' energy from (Niagara Falls) and it's relatively cheap to maintain as well.
Please also note the graph in the article. That looks more like a trading issue/glitch (energy gets traded much like stock on a stock market) because the actual power generation was higher later on without a massive dip.
It does cut costs and identifies some of the cruft but beyond the first few quarterly savings it doesn't last. These are the last spasms of a dying company.
The reasons are because farmers (you know the 'businesses' that do work around you) wanted to join the online revolution except no cable or phone company wanted to develop it out and neither did the (federal and state) governments (under pressure of the telco's) want to give any right of ways to communal Internet coops or local governments to do the same.
So instead the federal government and state governments levied taxes on phone lines, cell phones and Internet services (somewhere in the 90's) to pay telco's and cable companies for the rural development of Internet over "their" (existing, previously government-owned and payed for by taxes in the previous decades) communication lines. The telco's and cable companies have since pocketed enough to develop low cost fiber-to-the-home country-wide 3 times over but continue to run "high speed" service over the same 1950's copper pair while they keep asking the government to redefine 'high speed'. Please note high-speed wouldve been defined at 10Mbps a decade ago and if they maintained the 'progress' originally demanded, they now should've been at least 100Mbps on average. Instead rural community Internet speeds in Africa rival the speeds of US'es.

They did that once, the result was what we have now - a bunch of copper and fiber in the ground with nobody wants to upgrade.

Don't
