Slander of Title term of art relating to false claims about significant property. It does not depend upon the medium in which the false claims are made.
I may of course be missreading things, but what I gathered is that the ex is writing insane ravings on the site (using your name placeholder) sallysmith.com, not about Sally Smith, but implicitly AS Sally Smith, with the intent of making it look like Sally Smith is a raving nutjob to those who do a search for her name. Presumably, it's a rather more unique name than Sally Smith, so there is less probability of it being ignored as a naming collision. However, as the OP's fiancee is apparently a writer, it could be written in a way to make it really look like the author of the books and the author of the crazy screed are the same person without actually claiming they are.
If the site DOES claim to be the author, the fiancee may have grounds for slander of title, or, in some jurisdictions (and heavily dependent on the content of the crazed ramblings), there may be infringement on moral rights related to the original works.
Probably more, but in much smaller packets and with confounding factors. With current proliferation of guns, accidental deaths come in on the order of 1300 per year, with guns in every classroom, I'd expect that to climb substantially as the untrained and risk blind currently insulated from interaction with firearms have ready, albeit unintended, access to them. Conflating that would be a further shift in suicides towards using firearms.
If this incident were typical, you would need one a week to match the current accidental death from firearms rate.
Personally, I would think pervasive gun safety training would be cheaper, less constitutionally troublesome and save more lives than further proliferation or further restriction.
Seattle has enacted mandatory sick time and paid time off. For me this puts my combined vacation time, sick time and personal time cap at around 216 hours (though, I'm not sure what the accrual rate is anymore). Combined with very flexible WFH policies, I haven't seen a sick person at work in quite some time.
It has the same claim that the US had to Washington Territory or that China has to Tibet or that Pakistan and India have to Kashmir. If China left Tibet under treaty, would that not be a concession?
It's was a concession in exchange for a cessation of attacks. We all negotiate from the circumstances we find ourselves in. There is no base truth with regards to ownership, only the current de facto arrangement. How many ply you choose to look back into history to formulate your lie of justice can greatly shift your perspective.
Consider for a moment the infinite series formed by SUM(-1^n,-inf,inf)...(1-1)+(1-1)+1+(-1+1)+(-1+1)... = 1...(1-1)+(1-1)... = 0...(-1+1)+(-1+1)+ -1 + (1-1)+(1-1)... = -1 Which event you pick out as precipitating will change your perspective as all others seem to cancel out, but even that choice is a lie,any event could have been chosen, it all chains back in blood, suffering and joy throughout history.
The only non free (as in beer) source control I'd recommend is Perforce, but really, gitstack or svn will work just fine.
The cost should be the cost of a server with enough space for the repository and the S3 account for backups. You probably already have a server you can use, and S3 storage is cheap.
Experiment design and analysis uses math. Systems monitoring uses quite a bit of math (or pages you for false alarms at 2am). Scheduling uses math. Stress test analysis uses math.
For game programming, physics uses LOTS of math, and since that math is expensive to perform, you often end up needing to do even more of it to come up with alternatives that feel 'right' while being better adapted to your physics processor. Then there is analysis of what your players are doing, AI (and learning!).
Unfortunately, in this case, at least on the Amazon side, it doesn't look like social engineering. It looks like a classic escalation attack in the same theme as the cuckoo egg: use weak credentials to deposit a payload that can then be used as strong credentials.
While social engineering is pernicious and relies on people violating policy in the name of being helpful or customer service (often without realizing they are doing it!), this is a straight up bug in the CS procedures.
Unfortunately, a similar bug in Apple's CS procedures allowed for further escalation.
Which is great, but in this case Apple allowed the hackers to completely bypass the normal security questions by answering a question that you can't 'make up', and in fact, that they didn't let you know was a security question.
That said, now that we know about it, there is a way of getting around it: Have a different credit card number for each site!
Though I hope Amazon's CS customer authentication and authorization procedures will get overhauled to eliminate these escalation attacks.
Depends on what you mean by usable. It immediately prompts a study of human populations to identify how certain defects can impair it's function which will likely lead to the development of gene therapies to correct those defects, and if beneficial variants can be identified, could later lead to general purpose gene therapies to slow the rate of aging. It may also lead to studies for the development of drugs to modify it's action, but thats probably farther out than basic gene therapies for those with defective instances of these genes.
Cheap solar powered very high altitude unmanned platforms that are cheaper to produce than the missile needed to shoot them down, just sitting up there until their payload is needed, be it a bomb, rocket, jammer, communications relay or recon.
Equitable and promissory estoppel: Sun helped project Harmony and was deeply involved in it's creation, to the extent that it infringed, it had permission to do so. Sun definitely received benefit from this arrangement as parts of Sun's own implementation were contributed, as a result of Harmony, by Google.
Not quite. Most credit card merchant agreements require the merchant to accept returns. That said, a refund to a credit card is a bit harder to abuse (though not impossible).
This has been in use in sci-fi since the dawn of space opera. It gained sufficient use that it was internalized to the point that it's rarely mentioned anymore, you could even say it's why most sci-fi expects a reliable knowledge of location and date even in the face of miss-folds and unplanned time travel.
My back of the envelope calculations put 10^17 J as a low ball for how much it's expending per year simply lifting it's cap against earths gravitational field.
Only relative motion matters, aka, in the inertial frame of the source when the leading edge of the beam was emitted, how much has the target moved by the time the leading edge of the beam reaches the detector.
At two points opposite each other on the equator, that distance would be less than 2.3 meters, with only 730km separating the source and target, that distance is only a few centimeters (the source and target have nearly the same velocity)

"Improving mental health care" and access to it.

A knife works just as well, especially if you have any other physical advantage, as we tragically learned here in Seattle a while back.

You can still leak confidential data through the queries that are made.

That is really odd, as my local B&N was still carrying 2600 last time I was in, and there are similar articles in every issue.
Equitable and promissory estoppel: Sun helped project Harmony and was deeply involved in it's creation, to the extent that it infringed, it had permission to do so. Sun definitely received benefit from this arrangement as parts of Sun's own implementation were contributed, as a result of Harmony, by Google.
Everything Google 'copied' (really, re-implemented) was released under the Apache license as project Harmony.

Already available, Mechwarrior: Living Legends
Stock Split: No capital gains, you didn't sell/buy anything (value of a share was halved, quantity was doubled)
Credit card: No VAT, the VAT is on what you used the credit card to pay for (at least, in every country I've been in that had VAT).
Sold Home: No capital gains (capital loss, in fact) for the given example.
I don't remember any of my passwords. They are muscle memory. If I don't use them, in a week or two they are gone.
Now consider that they took the laptop away from her, preventing her from using it...
