Fuck them both. Lock them in a room and hand them enough ammo to shoot each other.
Whoever loses We win.
You missed a step: brick up the door.
If you open the door to resolve the schrodinger's cat paradox, one of several bad things can occur: 1) both of them shoot you dead, having cottoned to the fact that you set them to kill each other. 2) the survivor shoots you dead, ditto 3) the police officer now standing behind you arrests you for murder or accomplice-to of one or both... why the police officer? Responding to the 'shots fired' call and/or the bullet whizzing through the wall of the room you forgot to bullet-proof before stuffing full of homicidal fanatics.
Trump has suggested we send some of our protection clients the bill and or negotiate (extort, I believe we should tell it like it is) some tit for tat.... because that worked out so well for President Wilson.
Building 7 explanation. Video of beams buckling due to heat.
Sorry, it's obvious you don't buy the "internal column buckled due to fire" explanation, even though fire was ALSO the cause, albeit indirectly, for the collapse of the towers that WERE hit by airplanes.
I don't care if you don't drink the kool-aid, but I think you need to back the buckle off on your tinfoil hat.
> rm -rf doesn't actually delete the files. > you had it within your ability to recover the data.
For those of us who do not eat, drink, and sleep Linux (or UNIX...), would you please describe the built-in commands that you would use to recover the data?
Or the forensic tools you would need to use (name some examples)?
And does it change the recovery method/possibilities if the entire server is virtual, and that the blocks covering the deleted files may have been recovered by the host (dynamic VM storage allocation)?
Not trolling you. Want to know.
Deleted a critical file once./vmunix. Most embarassing. 25 years ago. "Had to" restore from tape, not knowing an alternative.
Of course, their original plans for massive solar power plant got skuttled because the US threw a snit-fit in the WTO over India's "source in India first" plan.
So yeah, as long as the US can gouge India on parts, suppressing development of local industry, they can have all the solar power we can sell them...
NPM is immune to Kik's blandishments in this issue: Section 230 is not restricted to copyright law. NPM could easily have informed KoÃulu of the issue, allowed him to make a counter-claim, then told Kik to pound sand - not their problem, talk to the author.
But no, they took down the module.
On the positive side, we see the result of years of unnecessarily leaving references to external code external. And of depending on a private corporation to protect your interests in it.

I assume you're calling out duties to participate in the "Cataloging in Publication" program of the Library of Congress?
There is no such obligation for copyright in general.
Picture if there were: Everything - every CHANGE to every website, every version of every application - would have to be sent to the Library of Congress. Every blog post. Every hand-written letter.
The Library of Congress is huge, but even it does not have the capacity to deal with that level of information, even if it wanted to.
It doesn't. So no. You don't have to send a copy of your software to the Library of Congress, if you don't want to.
> The connections to Bing, MSN and Akamai can be explained by Windows Update and by built-in apps that may update a news feed.
The experiment seems to be predicated on, "If I turn off all the OS telemetry, what still tries to connect." And as you pointed out, we can't be sure that Windows Update was turned off either.
This experiment does make two good points: A) Turning off OS telemetry doesn't stop all the telemetry from a default windows install, and B) the remaining telemetry is neither announced nor organized. Tracking it down is, as you yourself pointed out, the basis for another study.
Myself, I'd put money down on the latest generation of "Windows Genuine Advantage" being part of the traffic. And just in my Tinfoil Hat role, I'd point out that the UK IP near the top makes the telemetry something that the NSA could (if it wanted to) put their fingers into.
I was, at one time, tasked to incorporate CCleaner as a 'plugin' to an app I was working on.
AFAIK, CCleaner does absolutely no virus checking. The version I was working on would 'clean up' your registry, temp directory, and a couple other spots, but not check for viruses per se.
And having looked through what it purports to do in the way of registry element deletion, I would be exceptionally cautious about letting it run free. Some of the bits it wanted to clean up as unused were not unused/useless on the system I was running it on. Not saying it did not find stuff that actually WAS useless, just that I saw it register some false positives.
> Several years ago, the process of almost any online application realized a 90%+ non-response rate
Ah, youth.
Back when I was trying to land my first job, I replied to help wanted ads in the newspaper. (Yes, it's been a while.) What I remember of that was that the response rate was not much better in those days.... and each application submitted required postage.
That's not to say that it's any less frustrating today than it was then, but the cost of the search (in actual out-of-pocket expenses) has decreased a good bit.
State DMVs have for some time been compiling digital photo databases. I know Oregon has because they had to bring "someone more familiar with the software" in when they took my license photo. I have a sizable beard and mustache, and I believe the software had difficulty finding my mouth.... I didn't offer to help.
If cars are going to have some "if you aren't facing the road, we're going to shut the car off" routine, I may be somewhat restricted in my choice of automobile, or at least options packages...
The difference between theory and practice is - in theory, there is no difference - in practice, there is.
A simulation of self-assembling robots is theory. An actual pile of 1,024 self-assembling robots is practice.
Less tritely, you have zero information about flaws in your simulation until you try to apply it to/in the real world. Your simulation is excellent at helping you identify logical flaws in your design. But if you fail to account for something (crosswinds, say), then your simulation simply won't help you find it.

Then you have worked at two companies who you could file a complaint against. H1-B is supposed to be only for hiring workers you can't find in the US.
See, for example, Disney, the Senate Judiciary committee on several others, perhaps a couple more examples, though many overlap.
If you're going to use a one-time-pad like that, make sure not to use the inkwell with the Polonium-based dye...

Pretty sure you can uninstall Flash if you want. Pretty sure Firefox also lets you disassociate Flash from the file extension as well.
Not sure if Flashblock is still a viable extension in Firefox, though. ... mostly because I pretty much extirpated Flash from my (Vista) system.
Hey, don't laugh at me. It still plays Civ IV, so I still don't have any free time...
