The nice thing about WiFi is that it's chips are easily configured. I know the FCC a few years ago wanted to kill it under pressure of corporate interests, but I have no problem shortening various timings on my OpenWRT box to the point I can drown out pretty much any non-WiFi channel.
This is indeed a very idiotic plan, this won't work well once the 5GHz band gets sufficiently saturated like the 2.4GHz band is right now. Let them use the 2.4GHz at 100mW or less if they don't want to pay for a license.
Given it's an inkjet with 42k nozzles, I highly doubt the heads would be replaceable therefore any clogging from the ink (whether it's dried out or cheap after-market) would utterly destroy the printer. Actually looking at their website, it seems that the only way to get any repairs is to get a service contract.
I remember when we had computers in the last 80's, the 'radiation' and light from the CRT's would burn your retina's, cause insomnia and the sole contributor to poor eyesight.
All forms of 'solutions' in particular screen covers but also various color lens glasses were for sale, ended up being a fad.
This is what actually happens in the EU: You buy the stuff in other member states of the EU that don't worry about giving worthless pieces of paper away or that have a waiver from the EU which allows them to just export it to Asia.
This issues surrounding 'cheaper' stuff in other EU states is so prevalent that electronics stores in Western areas are often no longer feasible and many over the last few years, even web shops that had been known for decades for being "cheap", shut down.
Manufacturers don't make anything different for the EU, you really think things are so different there? They get their gear from the same Asian factories as the US does. It's just much more expensive.
Twitter isn't exactly the hallmark of classified information storage. Obama, Hillary etc had an "insecure" phone as well, besides the one they got given.
The Trump trademark was granted several months ago, when the majority of news sources still put him at a huge disadvantage in the polls. There was a 3 month period where you could dispute the trademark which ended last week.
Making up stories does nothing good to the press, it only makes people distrust them more.
If "poor" people (not sure how anyone in the US can be considered poor) spend their income and "rich" people spend their income, they would be taxed at equal rates. People that are richer, already pay premium prices for products and have more of them, so they would pay accordingly. Obviously you could tax luxury goods higher, my proposal would be that if they spend it on things produced *locally* they would pay less taxes so that more money goes around in the local economy, less is wasted both environmentally and fiscally on long-haul shipping.
I would not advocate for just a flat tax, there is a point to income taxes, most of us already pay sales taxes but we only pay sales taxes for local commerce which is ass-backwards, it's cheaper and easier to buy stuff out-of-state including the shipping than buy locally (locally you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get the tax removed)
Currently there are too many loopholes and exceptions in the tax code that benefit the 'richer' people. Sure they pay more in taxes absolutely but compared to 'us' as a percentage, they pay way less. I'm close to the threshold myself where I can spend a little bit on various 'investments' in order to reduce my tax burden, so I do but in the end, these investments benefit primarily the bankers. According to my tax accountant, the percentage and even the absolute amount of taxes paid has gone down as my income has grown.
Let the countries that don't tax their robot manufacturers take all the production AND the jobs.
The problem isn't robots or automation, it's corporations like Microsoft and people like Gates that are the problem. They pay taxes at zero or even negative rates and then expect the government to provide "free" healthcare and unemployment for their employees (which in turn makes their employees pay for it).
I'd say repeal all taxes and only tax things coming in over state borders at one rate and things coming in over national borders at a higher rate for all finished products and "intellectual property". This would encourage more local and domestic development. If Microsoft wants to import code from India, have it taxed based on the time and resources it took to develop abroad -or- if they want to avoid that, have it put into public domain.
But it's that honesty (for better of for worse) that attracts people to them. If you haven't yet understood history, Hitler told it how it was - the German economy was in tatters because of losing a war and some really bad policies (the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, loaning money overseas with German assets (railroads etc) as collateral) that temporarily increased employment numbers but in the end only benefited the 'foreigners' and made things worse for the middle class (taking on massive debts ending up in hyperinflation).
Really, the social policy of the "golden twenties" in Germany reads like the Obama presidency: 48-hour workweek, "universal" health insurance for non-working people, tax reforms, increases in taxes on capital and an increase in the high income tax rates, unemployment programs, housing programs, weak borders. Until a foreign economy (primarily the US) crashed, they appeared to be all good on paper, although there was a great deal of unrest among workers and conservatives which was happily ignored because young people were being "Americanized" and having a good time participating in the arts, cinema, jazz clubs etc, because in the end, when your money's value disappears in a few hours, you better spend it all right away and worry about debts later.
And then you're surprised you get a Hitler-esque person in charge? History repeats itself. Governments care about getting elected, just like the German government did, you get elected by giving out free stuff and promising more, the majority of people doesn't care or doesn't understand how a country gets there, the majority of 'free stuff' is paid by taxes and debts and then when the situation gets untenable, the politicians will lie and cover it up (eg. Obama's unemployment numbers, Bush's debt numbers). You want healthcare, unemployment, minimum wages, you go in debt or you raise taxes. At some point there will be a huge portion of people reliant on the social services paid for the people that still work. The next election cycle you get a bunch of politicians promising to end those services, no more free stuff, no more handouts, secure the borders, put our people back to work, the people don't trust the politicians because they've been lied to for so long and false promises have been made, you only need a single person that isn't politically correct, that calls things the way they are, that promises to use the status quo and that person will raise to power.
I wouldn't consider them upstanding but they are at least honest about their views. Whether or not you agree with them is another thing entirely, but making up stories about them seems to be the status quo lately.
Look at an entirely "pointless" narrative. Harward turning down the offer for some position: This is what Harward says: "Like all service members understand, and live, this job requires 24 hours a day, 7 days a week focus and commitment to do it right. I currently could not make that commitment.", basically, I'm retired, I don't want a new job.
According to CNN, they cite the letter then go on with this narrative: A friend said Harward called it a shit sandwich (no verifiable sources) A Republican official told CNN (no verifiable sources) A senior Republican familiar with the process (no verifiable sources) Marks said he didn't want to speculate why Harward turned down the job, but said turmoil in the White House was likely a contributing factor (basically, I don't want to speculate but here is my speculation)
In the end 5 journalists work on a piece that had just two verifiable sources in it, Harward himself and a senator that says all of the above is untrue.
Buffer overflows can be very useful constructs when you handle them very carefully and properly. They can be used as the GOTO for very limited microprocessor's code.
The Tesla could have been been trying to maneuver around a vehicle traveling on the wrong side of the street
Given the poor English writing of the whole summary indicated by "The Tesla was maneuvering" (Autopilot? Or was the driver maneuvering?) I just assumed a poor writer missing a comma. And if I call it poor writing, being myself a non-native English speaker, the entire thing lacks proper sentence-building, the name of the father in the next sentence could refer to the attorney or the father, only context makes it clear later on. There is no indication as to what party the part "traveling on the wrong side of the street" refers to just like the owner of the name Speckman later on. It could mean the Tesla was trying to get around a vehicle, traveling on the wrong side of the street or the Tesla was trying to get around a vehicle *which* was traveling on the wrong side of the street.
Given she was drunk, I would assume she was on the wrong side because she tried (and failed) to maneuver around it - either way, if she was on the wrong side or the other driver, you should slow down or stop if you're heading into any oncoming vehicle, not try to get around it or speed up. She was a drunk moron placed in a very common traffic situation and her drunkenness caused her to badly negotiate the situation, it's her own fault and the fault of whoever let her have and drive (or get in with her) an expensive vehicle when she was both too young and irresponsible to handle it.
It's called "common law" because it predates US law and it is often argued and recognized via Article 4 of the Constitution. In some states, you merely have to have visited a state where common law marriage is recognized for it to be upheld as such.
Are security protocols that broken at larger organizations or is it just Microsoft asking for government protection from improving and finding bugs in their software?
It's easy to defend against a security attack, you could use perhaps a large amount of sites small enough to be managed by a 2 or 3 man team and then connect those sites with a network that takes different routes around when one goes missing. We could have ARPA develop the thing and call it ARPAnet.
Driving a high performance sports car, severely drunk, the wrong way on a one way street into oncoming traffic is the cause for their deaths. And I'm glad they only managed to take themselves out of the gene pool and not someone else.
Living together (common-law marriage) grants you all the same benefits but on tax day you get to claim your individual deductibles. Additionally, lower income partners could qualify for food stamps and all sorts of government aid while if you're married your combined income usually puts you over the limits. Obviously if you have a partner without income, then you qualify for all sorts of additional tax breaks if you claim them as dependent.
Ask them to contact your attorney and the attorney for whatever organization you're with and let them fight it out. Off course they'll insist they have the authority, but if your device is marked as classified, they don't.
2013: Although we at the ACLU generally take a dim view of the proliferation of surveillance cameras in American life, police on-body cameras are different because of their potential to serve as a check against the abuse of power by police officers.
2017: You have very powerful systems being purchased, most often in secret, with little-to-no public debate and no process in place to make sure that there are policies in place to safeguard community members
They pretty much wrote the white paper on police camera's which had very weak provisions for privacy because of purported unnecessary violence against members of grassroots terrorist organizations and violent criminal gangs, now you're asking why these things are purchased - because you asked for it, it's no secret that police are recording you, we techies told you that when they started with red light camera's and CCTV and cheap tech is only going to make it easier.
It's impossible to fight it at this point, you should've fought it when they started recording in their cars and on street corners. Now you can only 'defend' yourself because the tech itself is too cheap and available to stop the tide. Even if you wanted to, cops would just go out and buy a GoPro just like they do with guns and everything else they don't want to be too official.
It's legalized slave trading. And pretty much everyone is doing it because it is easy and cheap and there are virtually no repercussions for gaming the system and abusing your workers.
Not really, as long as there are sufficient females from other, non-genetically altered branches, those strains should be more 'successful' in the quest for survival and eventually the genetically engineered ones will die out, I'm wondering whether this genetic alteration can be artificially held dominant and stable across generations or if it eventually evolves away as other defective genes do.
Perhaps the genes that favor production of females in the wild population will suddenly be able to stand out and you'll have strains of mice producing only females and strains only producing males such that you get less frequency of incestuous (and thus weaker) mice populations.

They looked at their C-level executives and said: hey, they don't do anything anyway, why bother.

I only read the /. article which says:

Quote: The article also reports that Microsoft moved its German headquarters to Munich last year.
There you go - take our software and we'll move to Munich, that way you gain the income taxes of our workers regardless of how shitty our software is.
The issue here is that these decisions are made for political reasons, not technical ones.
