So the CPS has to ask if it is worth all the expense of a prosecution, or find additional stuff to charge him with.
Option three would be to deport him ASAP and wash their hands of the whole mess. Or it would've been if the US hand't pounced with that extradition order.
Yes, show me how its all going to be paid for, and most of it will be contracted out. I'm all for going to Mars and sending someone there.
It doesn't need to be expensive. I can think of plenty of people (including the dude mentioned in the article subject line) who could be sent on a very cheap Mars mission. For some definition of "sent", "mission" and even "Mars" which may not emphasize their comfort or survival.
In many ways hybrids, and especially plug-in hybrids, are superior to all-electric.
Until you factor in maintenance. All the complexity of an internal combustion vehicle with a whole bunch of extra stuff bolted on top means they have to be more expensive to manufacture and, in the long run, there are more things that break. Unless the operating costs significantly offset the long term expenses it's hard to justify. If it's a plug-in hybrid then yeah, in theory the ICE components won't see the wear and tear and the long term costs won't be ridiculous, but if it's not a plug-in it's not really worth it.
There are many reasons weather is more accurate now, everything from the lead time...
More than just lead time, increased processing power and bandwidth allows weather agencies to run the models more frequently. 10 years ago in Canada, the model only ran every 12 hours. Now they're routinely running it every 6. So short term model-based forecasts are using fresher observation data, which makes a huge difference in prediction quality since forecasts react quicker to unexpected changes. There's now less of that "they said we'd only get 2cm of snow when I went to bed, and I woke up to 10cm".
Another change that happened a while back (~25 years) is they stopped letting meteorologists mess with the longer range forecasts. They found that in terms of quality, the probability of a human improving on the model beyond 2-3 days was only 0.5 (i.e. half the time, they'd make the forecast better, and half the time worse), and the models have only gotten better since then. So they've focused human intervention on the short range high impact stuff (0-18 hours, mostly) and left the longer term predictions to the computers.
You seem to be confusing slamming Apple's tight grip on the iOS platform with defending Google and Facebook.
In a sane world, Google and Facebook or you or I shouldn't need Apple's permission to install anything on devices they own, period. The only consent necessary should be the consent of the device owner, period. That Apple makes it infeasble to do this on an enterprise full of iOS devices without signing a contract with Apple is a problem no matter who the enterprise is. That Apple won't allow iOS device owners to install and run whatever they like (no matter how stupid this would be) on their own devices is unacceptable.
That people are dumb enough to install these internal Google and Facebook apps on their personal devices is a different matter entirely. That's a dumb thing and I don't recommend it, but I can't fix stupid.
"no other way" was maybe a bit strong. "no viable way for a large corporation..." would be more accurate.
I'm going to have to assume that Google and Facebook are aware of various other ways to sideload apps, and I'm also going to have to assume that if there was a viable Apple-free solution to running internal apps for their entire iOS-using employee base then this issue wouldn't have hit the front page.
If you know of a way to build an Apple-free equivalent to Apple's enterprise program, I can think of a couple large companies who'd be willing to give you a heck of a lot of money right now...
When the gatekeeping is so strong that signing such a contract with a competitor is even slightly attractive to an enterprise who wants to run internally developed applications on corporate-owned devices, I think there's a strong argument that there's something fishy going on.
And if I were Google, I'd be relaxed to see Apple making that point so effectively.
I could also see Google and Facebook trying to turn this into an anti-trust complaint. Apple having the ability to basically shut down their internal applications remotely without recourse and there being no other way to sideload onto the OS is an extreme level of control over a platform.
I didn't see that people would actually be getting killed by swatting, that doxing would be a thing, that people would make an avocation out of hounding others to suicide
Ah... thinking back to what I remember of the BBS/hacker "scene", none of that is a surprise. In same cases it was already happening, and in other cases it's the obvious escalation you get when you unleash unsupervised, amoral, pseudo-anonymous punks on each other.
I think you meant "Saudi Arabia". From some strange reason, Saudi's entering the US don't seem to get anywhere near as much scrutiny you'd expect given the number of terrorist attacks in the US perpetrated by people from that country.
Firefox is the last light in the "true" open-source, multi-platform, modern browser era. We will all absolutely be worse off if that light is extinguished.
You're not wrong, and I'd like to like Firefox, but I don't really have the time and energy to keep figuring out where my extensions and plugins keep disappearing to.
My money is on Cloudflare keeping those sites up because someone in the SIGINT community sent them a notice informing them and saying "please keep them up and send us logs, k thx."
Or, just as likely, the government hasn't explicitly ordered them to take them down and Cloudflare's default is to not act until someone with authority tells them they have to. Neither HuffPost nor the Counter Extremism Project are US government agencies and don't get to legally tell anyone to take down anything. I'd ignore them too.
It's also possible they've come up with a more conventional technique which mostly works, and they're unloading a pile of bullshit to mislead their enemies on exactly how it's being done, hopefully sending them off on a wild research tangent, and hopefully distracting them from making conventional detection harder.
It's the land of Sun Tzu; they've probably heard of misdirection.

Nothing's been uploaded in the last 3 years; they just don't want to say outright that they lost everything.

I'd expect that if they didn't have a way to lock the brakes, they'd have no way to prevent someone from using the scooter "manually".

Anti-trust law > contract law.

Naw.
They should offer to match Mexico's contributions to the wall, up to $5 billion.
The problem is that by the time Amazon rolled out, Sears had mostly traded catalog for brick and mortar.
To be specific, the update is about the security of Logitech's bottom line.
I suspect he might have achieved better spread and more glitter using a small CO2 cylinder. Maybe in 2.0.
I also think the fart spray could have been much more effective if it doused the surrounding area with a liquid.

This. "Pissing match" is the same number of words as "civil war" and is ten times more accurate.
I've used some pretty harsh language in the context of compiler bugs.
Spending days to discover that adding "assert(sizeof(char)==1);" is needed to force sizeof(char) to be 1 is worthy of a good cathartic vent, IMHO.

This is like asking if gonorrhea is a more popular STI than chlamydia.
We're doing five G's!
I'm strongly suspecting that this is just a convenient excuse to do something NASA was already planning on doing.
