Not sure where you are getting your news, but it is not true. Many products-- like chocolate and ice cream-- have regulated definitions(1). You are allowed to call things "chocolate [noun]" (as in pudding) sometimes despite not be

It’s a surprise because you cannot retroactively change the terms of a purchase. This is probably illegal, and while Peloton is probably relying on their voluntary recall to mitigate this risk (“look, you can just get your money back”) that

When the US gets overtaken by other economies in Asia, it will be because people there focused on climbing to the top by any means while we whined about how hard our life is. There are guys in Hyderabad right now in conditions worse than US

Not a tax lawyer but I'm pretty sure there are regulations around what it means to be a charitable organization according to the IRS. For instance, I'm fairly certain that using the money in a way that provides you a tangible bene

The correct response is to use your legislators to change the tax code to be more fair. Yelling at people for properly taking legal deductions, when you yourself take deductions on your taxes, reeks of hypocrisy and being mad because Joey g

Given that they had a warrant, a judge already signed off on this and would likely have no problem ordering you to return the device.

It was reasonable, because she never actually thought it was a bomb. Given that there was an active investigation against her, and that they had gotten a warrant, And that she knew to reach out to the NAACP, it’s pretty likely she was aware

Not only did they have a warrant, but illegally tracking you (e.g. without said warrant) does not forfeit ownership of the device. You could have cause to sue them while also breaking the law for stealing their device; no one should trust y

If you want to see this in full force, go try to find out from medical organizations whether there are irreversible health effects for gender transition therapies in adolescents. APA (and WHO, and...) will say no. But you'll see curiou

>The purpose of blockchain is to solve what happens when neither side of a transaction trust the other. Normally the courts solve this problem, so this is only an issue if one or both parties are operating outside of the law. Which, for

Facebook would not push back on this unless they were very sure of their position, because the spotlight is going to be on them harder.

If advertised duty cycles aren't a thing, then every SSD, printer, and paper shredder is breaking the law. I'm not aware of anything in magnusson moss prohibiting you from indicating a devices designed workload-- whether it's

Evos are consumer. Nvme drives degrade at the same rate as measured in data written. It's a protocol difference, not a difference in the flash quality or construction.

It's not really a secret. If you get a consumer KitchenAid mixer and use it for baking in an industrial kitchen, KitchenAid is probably going to reject your warranty when you send it in for a burned out motor after 6 months. Warranties

The problem is that GPOs are really a terrible way to do configuration, and people (like myself) who grew up on them simply were Stockholm'd into accepting them. The moment you learn about things like Ansible, and then ask "wait,

I'm not aware of ubuntu now supporting "rollout of corporate crapware" via this AD support. MSIs still dont work on Ubuntu. GPOs are still very limited-- mostly just HBAC type stuff. The stuff that works is the important stuf

The AD support has been there for a while, sans the GPO desktop stuff. You could do dynamic DNS, full kerberos (including SSH SSO via Kerberos ticket), access control / HBAC (via GPOs), sudoers via LDAP, even centrally tie SSH keys to

If someone were to invent a toolbox that could only show the tools you needed, I think they would end up with more money than Apple.

A good black box relies on the assumption that the inputs / outputs are well documented and true to their spec. This is a very unsafe assumption, at least until we invent a programming language that disallows bugs of any class.

Spam was a thing but the clients were lean and fast and ubiquitous across platforms. Anyone who remembers the various clients can remember that even bloated MSN messenger was far, far faster than Facebook messenger or Teams.

You're cutting a Dev team an awful lot of slack for a data loss bug. Microsoft got rightfully roasted for last years data loss release. This is arguably the most serious class of bug, and the most preventable.

Why does that feel safer? It's an open protocol. It can be used on the desktop, albeit clunkily. When you send someone a message you lose control of it, regardless of how it "feels".

Forgive my ignorance, but can't that be solved by statically linking things? Don't you just end up with a less hackjob version of a container when you do that?
