Civil justice is primarily about restoring damages, not about punishing wrongdoing (although common law in US it is more punitive than civil law in european countries). Therefore compensations are based on damages, not on profit from wrongdoings.
Not making the specific decision (showing ads) but making the general decision (giving power to Microsoft). Blaming customers for buying MS products is not really much different than blaming Trump voters for voting for him. In both cases risks were obvious beforehand.
Also note that ASPA validation prevents only hijack by peers and customers, not by providers. Due to way how ASPA validation works, providers could always announce to their customers routes with valid-looking AS PATH with hijacked ASN appended at its end.
Note that the first hop has to publish both ROA and ASPA records, as ASPA records describes a set of valid providers.
No, it is pretty much the same, both means agreeing to a contract.
It is an much simpler task now since you can depend on kernel / mesa drivers for all hardware.
It is not really much different than paying for cleaning, the cleaning person also sees inside of house.
At least in EU, private book/media rental is not legal without special licensing from copyright holders, while public libraries have exception for this.
Tool rental is a service that is commonly provided by private sector. I do not see a reason why this should be provided by a government. This seems like unfair competition to e.g. community hackerspaces.
This is not specific to US law ...
Yes, but EU would have to convince Google and Apple to get a new root certificate to browsers.
for example I invest in an ESG index for environmental, social, and governance, ie no weapons or drugs
So, no weapons for Ukraine?
50% property tax is just seizure without compensation, which is generally considered human rights violation.
If government wants 50% of shares, it can just buy it (or expropriate it with compensation) and use its ability to get cheap long-term loans to finance it.
When converting between different depths, the 255-like approach has a property that minimum maps to minimum and maximum maps to maximum.
U2F token is used by one eIDAS identity provider in Czechia.
Second, many people think that the C runtime doesn't know the amount of memory allocated to an array, but this is actually false. It's just the C abstract model that for some reason chose to not expose this information.
There are some counterpoints:
1) Conceptually, allocated memory block and data structure / array in it are not related. You can allocate memory block and then subdivide it to multiple different structures / arrays. You can implement sub-allocators.
2) Heap allocator does not need to store exact length of allocated object. For example, it could have several fixed-length slab allocators for smaller objects, select matching one during malloc() and use address range to find slab during free().
3) Array can be also on the stack (VLA or alloca()).
4) Arrays can be also on memory allocated outside of C library allocator (e.g. mmap()).
These constraints, at least for electricity, are usually in end distribution networks, not in production. High-powered datacenter would get (and pay for) its own substation/transformer from higher-voltage network, thus avoiding the limitation.
The main point of ENUM was compatibility with open SIP, unfortunately that never really happened and most SIP operators do not accept incoming calls from public internet (and do not route outgoing calls based on ENUM).
IMHO soldering two wires together (or wires to connectors) is much harder and requires higher dexterity than through-hole soldering on PCB, which is really easy. PCB holds parts in place and directs solder where it belongs.
You pretty much do that with wireless devices as a wISP.
Well, Meta also shared their AI models freely with world
Even if the house prices stayed the same, it would make sense to keep the low interest debt and invest in other assets that have higher yield, like shares.
Power distribution is a natural monopoly, power production is commodified/competitive business.
As a vegetarian, i am a bit annoyed by this term as i do not want to be associated with AI moral panic.
And internet was full of human slop already before LLMs came.
Here in EU, in order to take official sick days, i would have visit doctor to get confirmation document. Which means that for simple cases i would rather take unofficial sick days (sometimes provided by employer, like in US) or just leave.
Why? Disrupting a speaker to the level that prevents them speaking (or prevents listening) is an action that clearly infringes on rights of others and restricts freedom of speech. Regardless of content.
Programming is free if you do not consider price of your time. If you consider it, it is much higher than AI-associated costs. And even with AI-associated costs, it is still much cheaper than most other engineering professions, where physical realization is orders of magnitude more costly.
As a non-English speaker I can really relate to this.I think the real mistake was Apple allowing to enter a non-ASCII password in the first place.
As a non-English speaker (Czech, actually), it is clear to me to not use non-ASCII characters in passwords, or generally not use characters that are at different position on default English keyboard and locally used keyboards, i.e. use only ASCII alphanumeric chars except 'Y' and 'Z'.
As keyboard setting is per-user setting, keyboard may be different on login screen than on regular desktop (and once-login password prompts).
A related quote from A. N. Whitehead:
It is a profoundly erroneous truism ... that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them.
