First - is our space curved, flat, or negatively curved? (this evidence might support the "negatively curved" conclusion, which predicts an accelerating acceleration of cosmic expansion)
Second - does this change/remove the roles of dark matter/dark energy in our understanding of cosmology? (the modern "Cosmological Constant" if ever I've heard one, BTW - dark matter and dark energy are right up there with Russel's Teapot AFAIC)
Third - oh, wait. I'm running on empty here. Two examples will have to do - but I love it when experimental results don't jive with theoretical predictions. That's when real science happens!
Whenever I've bought a PC (that I didn't immediately install Linux on), I go through and remove all non-OS (preinstalled) software, including the OEM's updater. I make exceptions for antivirus (actually, I don't on my hardware but I do an awful lot of this for family) as well as full software suites such as MS-Office (rarely pre-installed).
I wasn't even worried about security from OEM updaters; I just don't want to spend the time, bandwidth and CPU cycles checking two sources - especially since any driver or OS patches are likely to come from Microsoft first, and I wouldn't trust an OEM to correctly relay such patches to me. Also, I don't want the OEM "updating" me to an older downgraded version of a driver or patch because they just put it up yesterday while Microsoft has had the patch up for weeks or even months.
The internet tore down the majority of border walls worldwide, at least from an information/commerce perspective. Various countries have tried different solutions (international agreements/treaties, great firewalls, local laws, etc.), but the only way to assert sovereign control of network resources is to ensure that those resources lie within and are subject to the laws of the governing nation. For a lot of countries, not being able to control commerce/information/communication is a major issue which the internet has created.
You'll need to read the EULA to determine if you have been granted a right to resell. In my experience, most EULA's will explicitly forbid (or at least limit) your right to resell.
Remember, we're discussing a license here. It's a fair bet that "first sale" doctrine won't apply. IANAL. YMMV.
He figured out how to make an automobile cheaper by hiring a bunch of unskilled labor and giving them the minimal training to be one part of the assembly line. No more need for artisans/craftsmen to slowly build automobiles.
Several decades later, they (the automotive industry) figured out how to replace the (now expensive) laborers with robots.
McDonald's et. al. have been pumping out cheap food by hiring a bunch of unskilled labor and giving them the minimal training to be one part of the assembly line. No more need for cooks to cook food.
Several decades later, they (the fast food industry) figured out how to replace the (rapidly becoming expensive) laborers with robots.
. . . we didn't even call it murder until something like what, five/six/seven thousand years ago? Before that whole writing/language/agriculture thing, that was just the way it was. Nothing amoral, unethical or illegal about it.
I'll bet somebody was trying to back-engineer Samsung's hardware when they realized "hey, I don't even need to reverse engineer this part 'cuz I wrote that last year.
I don't usually waste time answering A/C's, but . . . I LIKE IT! Good on you, A/C!
Could I possibly get the ability to block the app from reading my battery state (which I'm perfectly capable of monitoring and maintaining myself)? Obviously, Uber went through some trouble putting this in so waiting for them to remove it is problematic at best.
"...and having its http/https interface exposed to the Internet..."
They aren't talking about PAT'ing ports 80 and 443 to your web server. They aren't talking about machines in your corporate DMZ. They're talking about having your network equipment's management interface over HTTP/HTTPS exposed directly to the internet. I have a couple consumer-grade wifi routers that have that as an option (off by default and left that way!). Sadly (having worked for a couple ISP's in my day) I can say that some of them will enable management interfaces over WWW connections - SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, etc. I've even seen RDP exposed at one place I used to work.
Bottom line - yes this is a really bad (but long since fixed) vulnerability; anybody who gets bit by this pretty well deserves a bite wound or two.
Let's face it - the reason Uber and Lyft are so cheap is because they aren't regulated. Just like a hitchhiker, you're basically at the mercy of the guy with the car keys. Being not regulated (like, say, a taxi service) means Uber and Lyft can do all sorts of schiesty stuff and not be in violation of the law.
I can't wait until they start doing things like "Oh, you're in a bad part of town - you're going to pay even more!", "Oh, you're leaving an event of some kind - you're going to pay even more!", "Oh, you're a woman/ethnic minority/religious minority - . .." . ..
Sorry to hear about you're driver taking you for a ride - that's what you paid for, right?
Here in the US, anti-vaccine people can feel free to home school their children. Feel free to keep your narrow, uneducated, uninformed opinion in the privacy of your own home. Feel free to pass your ignorance on to your children. BUT if you want to take advantage of our public school system, you'll need to comply with our rules and have them vaccinated.
I suspect it works the same way in Canada.
(A for effort on your part. D- for execution. Won't you think of the children?)
So let me get this straight - when logic and reason fail you, go straight to ad hominem responses? If expressing my opinion makes me a fascist bent on the downfall of society, well I guess I'm an anarchist fascist and proud of it.
Maybe those vaccines did do something to you after all. I'm so sorry - I had no idea. You poor dear. I hope society is going to take good care of you.
No - but if you insist that it's your right to raise a bunch of disease-ridden kids, do me a favor and do it somewhere away from me and the society which I've made myself a part of. We don't happen to like polio, mumps, measles, rubella, smallpox, tetanus . . . and we're willing to accept an insanely low (possibly statistically insignificant) incidence of side effects in order to gain the demonstrably lower (possibly statistically insignificant) incidence of these diseases afflicting our offspring.
Go live (and die) with a bunch of flat-earthers somewhere. There's no place for you and your kind here in the twenty-first century.
The complaint is that "You're getting Windows 10 for free" - whether you like it or not. What do I do if my system needs a full system restore to Windows 8.0 (which I did ultimately pay for, incidentally) after the free upgrade has passed?

I agree. We should give North Korea all the nuclear weapons they can handle - one at a time, mounted on the top of used ICBM's.
Second - does this change/remove the roles of dark matter/dark energy in our understanding of cosmology? (the modern "Cosmological Constant" if ever I've heard one, BTW - dark matter and dark energy are right up there with Russel's Teapot AFAIC)

Just sayin'.
After all, a companion shouldn't have to put up with misogynistic nonsense like this.

Anybody sensing a theme?

We all know how that ended, right?
Just askin'.
Fixed that for you!
Don't lube up unless instructed to do so. It'll decrease the intensity of the experience.
