I thought that was what criminal forfeiture laws were supposed to be about. Is there are reason why they aren't routinely applied in cases like this? Seems to be a much more productive use than typical civil forfeiture.

I don't think it is proposing that. From what I can tell their proposal is a (somewhat awkward) way of saying some countries will stick to their current summer (standard) time next time they switch to it. Other countries will stick wit

I'm a little skeptical that Dual Channel at 551 kbps results in noticeably better quality than Joint Stereo at 328 kbps as opposed to just using more bits encoding redundant information. At least for most music - eg stuff that isn&#x27

Yeah, that wiki article is confusing. Broadcom Inc is the new company formed when Avago purchased Broadcom Corp , and Avago got it's start as a spin off of HP (by way of Agilent). However, the original Broadcom Corp is older than th

Broadcom didn't originate at HP, it was an early 90's startup. What happened is that a private equity firm bought some parts of HP that had been spun off and then that company later bought Broadcom.

Broadcom was essentially bought by a private equity firm who took the name as the name of the umbrella corporation. Before that Broadcom was (and still is) one of the larger communication hardware companies, making chips for cell, wifi, blu

If I understand they want a (globally unique, secure) GNS name and a (globally unique, human friendly) traditional DNS name which acts as an alias for the GNS name via CNAME. This can work, and sounds like a good compromise in that it lets

I broke down and bought a prepaid SIM and a small dumb phone which I use solely for 2FA. Its about the size as old-school 2FA systems like crypto cards. My original motivation in getting it was my wife was always taking my real phone to get

In that case though (and the Bette Milder precedent), the sound-a-like was used with a song that the artist was associated with, which implied that it was the actual artist, or at least deliberately invoked their likeness in mind of the vie

At no point was this being withheld from the DoJ or the judge, and was absolutely being used as evidence in the trial. It was previously sealed to prevent public disclosure as a trade secret.

I don't think it will. NASA has contracted SpaceX Dragon flights at about $70M per seat, and the OIG estimates the cost to SpaceX at $55M per seat. If we are extremely optimistic about Starship and say it will cost the same amount to l

For something like YouTube it can probably still be detected by timing. If the browser plays part A of a video, then when it is done immediately requests part B of the video, when there is supposed to be a 2 minute gap to play an ad, that c

Whether it is legal for a human depends on what they are doing. On one extreme impersonating as a parody is clearly legal protected speech, while as impersonating to trick people into thinking it is actually her is clearly illegal fraud. Th

On the other-hand, I find it annoying in Rust that an assignment or an unadorned function parameter might result in a move or a copy and you can't tell by the function signature or call site. Instead it depends on whether the type impl

This might be influenced by the fact that I've used C/C++ for much longer, but my impression is that Rust is an even larger language with more details to learn than C++. The difference is that in Rust if you get the details wrong

It can take several months to register a copyright, so they may have started the process and took a gamble on how slow the court would move, knowing they could fallback on the works that were registered if it didn't work out.

Yes, for context the Pi 1-4 all had H264 hardware encoder/decoder support, which could comfortable encode at least 720p @ 30Hz in realtime. The die space argument makes sense for why they don't have AV1/HEVC encoding, but it

Boca Chica is a test facility. SpaceX is only allowed 5 launches of the StarShip second stage, and 5 launches of the full stack each year (page 17 in [1]). More frequent launches will require a new environmental review. They plan production

As an US corporation they would still need FCC and FAA licenses for all launches. In addtion, operating in a country that is not a US ally will significantly complicate compliance with export control and ITAR. The main relief from regulatio

I don't think NASA's Kennedy Space Center, nor Cape Canaveral Space Force Station are exempt from EPA regulations. SpaceX has had to perform Environmental Impact Studies for all of their launch sites there as well.

No, any form that sites provide are purely a convenience and are not required by law. Legally all you need is contact information where a lawyer can mail a DMCA complaint.
