This is no defense at all. You can't say "Yes, I knew there was great likelihood it was wrong, but I didn't know it for a fact that it was wrong, so I was actually in the right." It's a bit like punching somebody in the face and then saying, "Well, how was I supposed to know he didn't want to be punched? Some people like to be punched!"

If you can circumvent copyright just by not caring whether you have a right to copy, that's essentially the same thing as copyright not existing at all.
You got it backward. The custom CSS of the website is overriding the system styles in this case. Let's take font-family for example. Just because you're setting the font for your input[text] tags doesn't mean the browser will also automatically set the font for other elements to match the style. If you want the website to have uniform look, then you'll need to set the font-family for other elements, too.

Correct. You should always include your salary as a business expense. Being your own boss, you can set that salary based on your personal expenses.

I'm an atheist, but I've seen "atheists" intone their beliefs, even though there was no one around to convince, like it was a profession of dogma from a Mass. There are definitely some "atheists" around who approach it from more of a tribal affiliation perspective, not an intellectual one.

Even the most intellectually sound movement can become toxic.

Sure, but only in the minds of people who don't even know themselves, and can't make a coherent argument to save their lifes. They confuse the "data" they have on things with the things themselves, not to mention people -- same noobs doing the same shit, different day.

I would have mine continuously drive around the block.

Another option is to have the car drive out into the suburbs in search of free parking to abuse.

For a family, the car would drive home to be available for other users. Each trip thus turns into two trips, one to drop a person off and another to pick a person up.

The ride service model doesn't work except for the people already tolerating ride services. Lots of us want to keep our junk in our cars. We haul around our snacks, spare shoes, and raingear. Our cars might get dirty, but at least it's our own filth, not a puddle of a stranger's vomit.
And barely paying taxes.
I use it as my primary laptop at home. And I have a laptop at work I use to test things on it.

I really like the lite-weight http server that comes with it. I've used it to complete a few internal only web sites for automating tasks around the office (importing data from other systems into our accounting system, firing off email confirmations to customers, etc.)

I have had very few issues with it and when I did it was generally me assuming I knew what I was doing because of my Linux experience. Once I learned to read the manual and look for subtle differences between BSD and GNU I found I was able to pick it all up pretty quick. Their manual pages are actually one of the best perks!
The TPP had many other issues though.

Examples include criminal penalties for breaking DRM or disclosing trade secrets, and establishing an international tribunal that allows corporations to sue for monetary damages from a government that passes a law which they feel is discriminatory. (I know the US has trade agreements like this already, but it's a new thing for Australia -- and unfortunately we are now part of the new US-exempt TPP.)
I'm still hoping that Vice Media will renounce its bigotted past and either remove or address some articles, such as:

A sneak peak:

Here are some of the types you'll need to invite.

TRANSSEXUAL: Pre-op is good, but post–breast implants, pre–gender reassignment is PERFECTION. All transsexuals are slutty, so don't worry about that. This guest is a very high priority and should be catered to accordingly. Put her first in the queue for cocaine and drinks. Tell her how pretty she is. Touch her a lot.

GUY WHO WILL FUCK TRANSSEXUAL: He is your #2 guy, your party wingman. If the tranny doesn't feel loved, she will leave.
Is it too hard to take the charitable view that by "SV Company" they mean "internet company?"
This sentence helped me to visualize what might be happening.

"Just as a grounded boat can float again when the weight of its cargo is removed, a glacier that loses ice weight can float over land where it used to stick. When this happens, the grounding line retreats inland. That exposes more of a glacier's underside to sea water, increasing the likelihood its melt rate will accelerate.
"

not clear from the article though, what do they think is causing the retreat?

Is it warming of ocean water, or we do not know yet?

Vice has really uneven quality among their departments. The main site is all garbage. Motherboard and Vice News are mostly okay.

How old? If you like books that are more than a century or so old, then don't worry, those books were made with high-quality paper that really does last. It's the books in the 20th century that won't. (Some might, higher-quality ones say "printed on acid-free paper", so theoretically those will age as well as books made in the 1800s.)
This works for companies that ask for email as well.

I have walked out of pharmacies without buying Sudafed that I would have wanted because the "ask for a pack of Sudafed" step was too uncomfortable. Buying liquor is easier because I don't have to say words to explain what I want.

Edited to add: I'm not particularly up in arms about needing ID, and I feel like buying Sudafed got easier somehow recently, but this seemed like a place where I could help explain what sorts of things can be uncomfortable/difficult for some people.

"Apple’s revenues come from purchases made by consumers across the entire wealth distribution, but the moment that money hits Apple’s ledger it comes under the control of the elite: most shares of Apple, like most shares of stock in general, are owned by the wealthy. . . . The preponderance of Apple’s income is transferred to shareholders, who largely fall into the upper echelon of the economy. . . . Apple’s plans to return an unprecedented $100 billion to investors over the next year through stock buybacks will only exacerbate this pool of passive income and thus directly increase income inequality at a level unknown in recent history."

I'm trying to square the thesis of the article (Apple stock buybacks mostly benefit the wealthy) with the NASDAQ data that Institutional Holdings hold 59.73% of Apple stock (0.). Aren't entities like pension systems and the like big investors in funds (example 1.)?

This is an interesting comment.

"selfie(trademarked)" implies that someone is selling something with the word "selfie" principally identifies a certain product and seller.

There are two types of trademarks; registered and common law.

Registered trademarks have to be registered with the government, and while a brief search at http://tmsearch.uspto.gov does bring up many "selfie" related trademarks, they are all related to taking pictures of yourself (or your pets), and trademarks are industry-specific, and so do not apply to self driving cars.

There are also common law trademarks, which are created when you first start selling a product in a geographical area. The US is one of the few countries to recognize common law trademarks. But in order for you to have one, you need to actually be selling something.

Of course, I don't think there's any penalty to lying that you have a trademark, so perhaps you're just doing this "to be safe".

Either way... very interesting!

This article says that with self driving cars, there is no incentive to park. So, the several gallons of fuel/electricity the car is going to burn during a working day are for free then?
Agreed, it is quite possible that an influx of "steady state" (compared to human piloted) vehicles for humans to follow around will improve traffic conditions overall. A large component of traffic is the "accordion effect".
Or you could just be a decent person and pay your taxes.
Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) usually counteracts the stimulant effect of pseudoephedrine, and is one of the main ingredients in NyQuil (along with a cough suppressant). That combination is what made NyQuil so formidable before the pseudo-pocalypse, but you can recreate the effect just by taking both.

However nasal sprays like Afrin are just as effective and don’t have nearly the stimulant effect, especially when used with NyQuil
A bit more detail from the leading hungarian news website and the Civil Liberties Union (it was covered already and later got translated to English):

- he was invited to visit Telekom's office (the expenses was on him), and wanted to give them the details

- he was not convinced by the meeting that they'll solve it (close the doors): tried again, successfully (yep, that's a bit grey hat).

There are several issues not with the hacking, according to the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union:

- the prosecutors used a way too generic accusation which missed several important details, like [regarding the crime] when, how, etc.

- the accusation claimed that the hack was done by using the Internet (seriously).

- they (the prosecutors) offered a deal of "admit the crime == free to leave" but when the guy denied they asked for more prison.

- the prosecutor stated: "we are not IT people but we know from the media (!) that with Internet and certain competence he could have hidden more of his digital footprints". And the prosecutors didn't asked for expert advisory for more than one an a half year long.

- they asked for 8 years because the hacker should have been able to disturb a public interest service, though the company claimed that this server/service was not affected any of their customers.

> You’re being tricked by gurus of the mind to send your money to someone else. How this is legal represents a gap between traditional laws and modern times.

Eh, this has existed for decades at a macro level in over-the-air television and radio. 'If you're not paying for the product, you are the product' is a quote that has been floating around since at least the 1970s. Methods and techniques now have the ability to target you individually but the overall premise is nothing new.

> The sad truth for us software engineers is, a lot of the most exciting work is at least tangentially related to refining this trickery: big data, machine learning, etc.

Well, I'm in Aerospace and there are plenty of interesting problems to solve here that have nothing to do with "trickery"; it's just that 100 year old companies aren't "sexy" to young kids, often don't "move fast and break stuff" and frankly don't throw obscene amounts of money to bait them.

Come build self driving trucks! Starsky Robotics is a fantastic place to work, we're solving hard problems across the board and need help. We have positions open for all sides of the robotics stack, and are specifically looking for more Software eng. maturity for the platform and infrastructure teams. I personally work on the Infra side and am looking for extra hands on our data inbra and testing infra.

Blurb:

We're working to make trucks autonomous on the highway and remote controlled by experienced drivers for the first and last mile. Our self driving trucks will make roads safer while giving drivers meaningful work close to their homes and families.

We currently run our trucks autonomously on the highway, with freight. We are looking for awesome engineers who are comfortable working on a scrappy, driven engineering team. The team takes an extremely active role in the development and testing of Starsky Trucks on highways across the US.

We use Python, C++, and lots of bash scripting. We are a group of PhDs, masters, bachelors, college dropouts, and high school interns all working together. No matter your experience, we're looking for intelligent folks who have a history of diving excitedly into new fields. Able to sponsor all visas. All positions non-remote unless otherwise specified.

Apply online, every application is read: https://jobs.lever.co/starskyrobotics/ or email me (daniel + @<company_name>.com) with any questions.
>Maybe I should have worded it differently. I meant "hidden" in the sense that the chart I showed didn't reflect it because that only showed my business expenses.

Salaries are a business expense. If you hired a second programmer would you not expect to pay them? So why wouldn't you expect to pay yourself?
the average user is quite naive regarding what thier systems give away. first off zuck is a blackhat straight up.
browser space has its meathooks on your system, things such as canvasing and fingerprinting are not "deep" there is a constantly evolving threat regarding what is deep fingerprinting. The popup dialogs dont stick to doing what the buttons say they do, microsoft and the redefinition of the topright X is a raging example. ALL of the techniques mentioned here so far are in play, from "deleted" data retention, to actually hacking to pwn sytem permissions, this is a very big reason a windows user should not cruise the web logged in to an administrator account.
Also you can basically stack them and use elevators.
If you do that you still want to allocate money in a way that encourages constant improvement as well as rewarding successful radical new ideas. And that's not easy to do in a way that doesn't generate problems very similar to the free market.

For example if "time spent in application" would be one of the metrics you use to allocate money then every user interface will be redesigned to require as many clicks as possible for frequent tasks, with fake loading screens in between.
You asked for a part of the agreement. I ventured a somewhat uninformed opinion. If you know more than me, then isn't it incumbent on you to venture an opinion on why we're in the situation of trying to avoid a hard border?
You can synchronize each device’s orbit so every weapon is over every target at the same time. Worst case you need to wait for a full orbit to hit anything, best case you can hit everything within ~2-3 minutes.

Molniya orbits‘s are just an example. GLONASS uses a related orbit, but never comes that close to the atmosphere.

PS: You could do the same thing over the US including Hawaii and Alaska. You end up with different tradeoffs to keep things synchronized, but it’s not that hard of a problem.
>Because really, these are people who were accused repeatedly again and again

So if an accusation is repeated "again and again" it's true?

I believe they have to be made in Japan, unless this is an actual customs union which is unlikely. Essentially, if a product is imported from a country A into country B, which has an FTA with country C, it cannot be imported (under the agreement) into country C unless country C has an FTA with country A or countries B and C have some sort of customs union.
