It seems to always hinge on that word and it generally works out as a way to target groups of people that aren't doing amything really wrong except not rolling over.
Why not just sanitise the inputs by assigning a random number to code contributions? That way Linus cant be sexist or racist, etc..... as he doesnt know who wrote the code.
It is possible there is a special situation where you are posting from but I am not sure why you would think this, at least for large scale fires. In general once a fire gets big there is not much you can do about it. Efforts tend to go to trying to slow it down and steer it away from habitations with firebreaks and back burning and so on but it is really just working around the edges while waiting for the fire to either run out of fuel or rain to come. The vast majority of the forest just burns. They may be out of our control but then they always were.
If you are referring to loss of life and property caused by regulations limiting the removal of vegetation from around buildings then yes, this has happened but in terms of forest fires it is a minuscule percentage of the actual fire.
I think you are overestimating the efficacy of firefighting. Once the flames get over a certain height there just isn't much you can do about it. Additionally, we probably get more fires now due to humans so the whole out of control fire is due to fire prevention theory doesn't ring true to me.
"CBP does these seizures under the legal rationale that when you are entering the U.S., you are initially outside U.S. soil, and thus Constitutional protections do not apply."
That is an argument that could backfire. For example, if they are outside the U.S. then under what law are they operating? Do the U.S. courts have jurisdiction? It is more likely that it hinges on the word unreasonable. It is totally reasonable to search and seize on the border. Bloody silly not too.
....an inability to buy certain sets of products. For instance your card could be refused as you had also bought certain other products that could be combined to make an explosive. You might not even know what those products are.
....centralised control of spending such as a quota on CO2 spending habits or additional taxes to pay for carbon offset.
....geographic control such as we have nowadays (eg; your card was used in Ghana) but fine grained so you have to gain approval from your bank to travel.
....large scale rioting and theft when power and/or banking systems go down due to there being no other alternative currency.
They are being totally underhanded with their prime subscriptions.
For instance, upon buying a product I was given three choices; shipping, free two day shipping, or free two day shipping with Prime subscription. I took the free two day shipping but on completion of prchase there was a small box saying "Welcome to Prime" which I hadn't ordered so I clicked it to make sure I wasn't on Prime and it appeared to say I wasn't.....but I was suspicious so I dug into the settings and found I had been added to Prime free membership which would then start charging me monthly if I didn't unenroll before 30 days. So I unenrolled.
Of course the product didn't arrive so I called the help line and was charged a dollar, hopefully sorted it out, and they added me to Prime again without my specific consent. I had to ask the operator about it and specify being removed again.
As yet the product has not arrived.......
Last night I bought a battery on amazon and was offered free two day shipping. Upon purchase I noticed a welcome to Prime sign which, upon clicking, gave little intimation that I had somehow joined Prime but it raised my suspicions so I started looking around and i was about to be charged $12.99/month for something i didn't agree to join. Fuck Amazon and fuck Prime.
At no time did the Russian Army invade Ukraine. At one point there were some border crossings but those people were on holiday, or had had their contracts canceled. As such they are private individuals and not members of the military.:)
"It's no different from a PI following what you do in public"
I would say it is quite different from being followed in public depending on what the persons intended audience was. If their settings were purely public then that would be OK. The photo of the mother and the baby could be considered this way unless it was posted to a not purely public group or a group where she expected it to be non public. If I post to a group called PAF "People Against Fracking" then I have an expectation that the members of the group are people who are against fracking and my posts are intended for that audience.
Another picture shows a post "from a protester to his own Facebook wall "...same thing again, what were the settings and what were the expectations?
And where exactly is INEOS's investigation into whether the images could be legally used before placing them in the public record?
In New Zealand government departments (probably also private companies but they aren't covered by the Freedom Of Information Act) have been hiring Private Investigators to keep tabs on protest groups for ages.
This has lead to a series of embarrassing news reports about the investigation agency Thompson and Clark Investigations Limited and their links with government departments and most recently the SIS. Although I can't remember them (TCIL) specifically using Facebook, another PI did this report on how easy it was to get your Name, Age, Address, Parents, Spouse, Occupation, Children and Shopping habits using social media saying that basically money was the only limit on what information could be obtained.
Because your world is based on what you know. Targeted advertising allows a better control of your world view where better is in the hands of the advertiser. As an example, think of music chart manipulation.
"Until 1991 the pop music charts were notoriously unreliable. Paying off record store employees with free albums, concert tickets and even vacations and washing machines was the standard music-business method of manipulating record sales figures. Even the Billboard magazine charts, considered the most prestigious in the business, were compiled from store managers' oral reports, which were inaccurate to begin with and easily swayed."
The same thing with targeted advertising. You only see what they want to sell, not a true range of goods or services from which to choose.
We need to keep repeating stories like this because we don't accept that they should be normal even if they are.
There are all sorts of things that are normal in world both inside and outside the tech spectrum that need to be brought up even if they are normal practice because if they aren't brought up then we either fail to recognise them or just accept them.
And before you get to upset about it. That same set of laws protects Americans if they decide to bail as well. In 2015 there were 4832 refugees from the United States and that number has risen steadily over the last 15 years.
"No sovereign nation is obligated to allow anybody but its own citizens in."
Actually, there are over 140 countries who are obligated by law to allow entry for certain reasons. For example; The states that signed the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol.
- Over half the subjects were woman ( They don't tend to carry out violent attacks).
- The study studies intent, not action ( Maybe females intend violent actions but don't actually carry them out which would skew the real life applications).
- Morally wrongful is a social construct which could mean the experiment actually reinforces existing social constructs (What about in a time of war when the construct is that the enemy are monsters, or gay people are evil, African Americans are thugs, and Arabs are terrorists?) .
Someone should tell them what the wheel on the mouse does. It might save them having to use a lawyer every time they want some freely available info in a twitter feed....or they could just talk to him.

I have been on the ground in a couple of large fires and you just don't have time for air traffic control for other aircraft. You have multiple helicopters working in already dangerous conditions moving as fast as possible to inhibit the fire frount. No radar and low level. Drones are a pain in the ass and need to be banned from the area, same as other aircraft.
I agree. Just take the thunderbird codebase and fork it or something. Installed Neon...Akonadi problems...Installed openSUSE Leap 15....Akonadi problems...now on Kubuntu 18.04 and everything seems fine so far but I am a little Akonadi shy.

You don't need to hack everything. Just the swing states....or even just the swing counties....will do.
Seconded. Plasma just works.

Actually, that is exactly what you can do.
Asylum status is a form of protection available to people who meet the definition of a refugee but are already in the United States and seeking admission at a port of entry.
And before you get to upset about it. That same set of laws protects Americans if they decide to bail as well. In 2015 there were 4832 refugees from the United States and that number has risen steadily over the last 15 years.
Thanks, I completely missed that and it is a rather large hole.
