Not so sure about that, especially given it's North Korea, it might just be an electric detonation. A mechanical kitchen timer could be sufficient to flip a switch and is impervious to microwaves. Additionally, a missile is a Faraday cage and even if you take out sensitive electronics like GPS, simply reaching a target is sufficient for the regime, even if it's wildly inaccurate.
So does chlamydia and syphilis though and Zika actually has very similar neurological symptoms (swelling of the brain (aka concussion), white matter damage). A yet unknown strain of any of them (or something else completely) may be causing all this.
First of all, it's a claim that they have experienced issues and that there is brain damage by some unspecified doctors. Until the actual report comes out and someone actually peer reviews it, there isn't much that you can say about it.
Second, some white tissue abnormalities is normal in humans, especially those with a more physical background will have more abnormalities. I don't see a claim of lesions, concussions, or traumatic brain injury in the news article, only, again the unspecified field doctors diagnosing someone with concussions.
IMHO this sounds more like COINTELPRO than "them russians are blasting their stereos again". If they have actual TBI, concussions and lesions in the brain, then someone physically took these people out of the confines of the embassy, beat them up or did some serious head shaking with a significant force or duration, most likely repeatedly if they have developed lesions and then brought them back.
If the Russians are capable of lifting an entire embassy for covert interrogations and then make them and all the guards either not see or forget about the incident, then Putin may actually be a space alien. Alternatively, we have a strong CIA presence there and they have a history of experimenting on people.
Uhm, go to a psych ward. Anyone banging their head in the wall has psychologically induced brain trauma.
However, you don't get brain damage from sounds and tones. It's more likely that the researchers are just picking up on previous trauma which anything (you fell on your head as a child or played high school football) induces white matter tissue damage and an MRI will pick up on it, these people are combat-trained CIA operatives in a foreign country, to enter their training alone you must already have permanent brain damage.
If you have a doctor not specialized into neuroscience and specifically TBI looking at a whole brain with a magnifying glass without taking into account the entire medical and even non-medical history, you'll see all kinds of oddities.
Although I agree with the political sentiment, we donâ(TM)t have to stop automation because weâ(TM)re afraid. We have more, better paying and simpler/safer jobs now than we ever did before the advent of the steam engine or the computer. We have a lot more leisure time and industries have sprung up to fill that time.
The next wave of automation wonâ(TM)t change that, menial jobs will disappear, people will have more free time.
Jesusâ(TM) supposed birth day was changed and added later, rather poorly. The story and the seasons (shepherds outside, traveling to Egypt) described donâ(TM)t match up with a date in winter, the actual day would have to be late summer or early fall.
Even when I was young, I had to follow the instructions while my brother was freelancing the thing. Itâ(TM)s the difference between an artist and an engineer I suppose.
There are plenty of examples where copyright wasn't enforced because the copyright holder waited too long to enforce it, usually until a deep-pocketed entity comes along. Pretty much any claim in civil courts is subject to it including trademarks and patents.
The OP stated that the community frowns upon suing someone for copyright because it might turn big companies away from using Linux. There is no 'agreement' as in a written contract but Linus himself has quite publicly stated he doesn't care much about whether or not someone infringes upon the GPL.
There are issues with Symantec and particular CA were revoked, a lot of them regional and not very newsworthy.
The mailing lists of the individual browsers capture some of the drama but most CA actually try to fix the issues, StartCom just made things worse as they went along.
They sold themselves to another CA and started signing and backdating certificates, then when people made a complaint of that all they did was spin off the company to a shell company simply to disassociate them from the name but the same company and people were still in charge.
Then they got hacked and when heartbleed came along it was proven that they had someoneâ(TM)s certificates stolen, they refused to retract the certificate until their customer paid them to retract it.
StartComs business model was to profit of customers that found themselves in a bind. It backfired on them.
Whatever GS does is considered or will eventually be considered legal. There's a big difference, if the FBI comes knocking at your door, you're going to jail for a long time before you even get a trial, if the FBI comes knocking at their doors, they're going to make a press release and the laws change.
TensorFlow is open source because it helps everyone involved. I use it and I probably will never use Google or Amazon Cloud, I use a small cluster with GPU's because I can't transport 200TB of data to the "cloud" fast or cost efficient enough.
The cloud is great for testing stuff out and running one-off jobs, but if it is your day-to-day work, the cloud doesn't scale because the pipes don't scale along with the data centers.
Companies open source the products because it helps them, which is good, and it may provide them some side-revenue but it cannot be a sustainable economic model because the public cloud (or mainframes as we used to call it) simply isn't sustainable.
The problem is that in many jurisdictions non-enforcement of copyright violations makes the license unenforceable. I'm not sure what the statutes of limitations are here (and I also think they are very flexible), but I would say much of the 2.2 and 2.4 kernel code could probably be considered "public domain" in many areas by now.
If there is a "community agreement" not to sue infringers of the GPL licence in connection with the kernel, then I'd say that is evidence that the license is void and any compliance is simply goodwill.
You can't "demand" money for people that are in compliance with the license, you can if they are infringing. I know various vendors that are non-compliant and neither the FSF nor anyone in the community wants to "do" anything about it even though they severely limit the freedom of the product. I have a set of devices on my bench that are simply useless because the Linux kernel modifications on it sits behind an NDA and the vendor nor the producer wants to comply with the license.
That issue has turned me off Linux as a platform recently as it's just another closed source system in many cases, so I might as well use an existing proprietary system that 'just works'.
I agree that the luxury cars aren't a necessity, however, plenty of "poor" people that get various housing and food subsidies already pay for brand new 4x4 pickup trucks and luxury SUV's that retail at $50k+.
I live in the inner city myself, the average income here is ~$35k but my entire neighborhood is dotted with recent year Jaguars, Escalades, Navigators, Crew Cabs. Not sure how they afford it, all I got is a $15k pre-owned VW and a used Jeep. Removing those subsidies would be hurting those poor people.
Look around you. How many luxury SUV's don't you see in the inner city? Mercedes, Lincoln,... they cost about $65k and up. People don't seem to have any problem plunking down $50k+ for a car.
Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW... there's a reason Tesla lost its subsidies and even other car manufacturers have a hard time in the EU. Germany runs the EU and they are very protectionist.
What's harsh about space other than it being relatively cold? Besides some solar radiation (which it's probably too far for anyway) there is nothing to interact with the systems, no molecules or fluctuations of radiation or physical pressure/stress that interact with it so it won't corrode or fatigue.
Yes, it's amazing that it still works because the design was good. What's more amazing is that they didn't fuck up the data transmission to interact with the hardware/software on the system. You're talking about 50's and 60's era electronics and hand-made/hand-programmed stuff that's still working at rates like 40 bits per seconds with nibble-sized serial communications to the CPU, how many programmers still know how much a nibble is these days and how to craft a message using it on modern systems?
The GPS was one of the ways they substantiated the claims. He's probably a union goon so firing him takes a LOT of evidence and effort, you could have enough evidence to be convicted for murder and still not have enough to fire someone on a union contract.
It's not all he did nor the only way they substantiated the facts. He claimed to be at work, but never swiped in at the client sites and things like chlorine analysers show they were never serviced even though he claimed they did.

That's why we need unions to represent IT, you don't want to get fired for that.

Again, that is the claim but no names about these "doctors" are being given. Also, I do work in neuroscience.
