Because they use automated systems that find ridiculous connections. Just look at all the false positives generated in similar areas, all the stupid dmca takedowns for "google.com".

And when a company wants to patch a zero-day exploit being used by criminals to scam customers? What if that impacts the government's surveillance activities? And what of free/open source software? Does every linux update now ne

It isnt just the industrial robots. Earlier this year, a man in london was crushed by a "telescoping urinal", a thing i did not know even existed. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-64430454

Back to whatsapp and other encrypted services whereby the corporate overlord can plead ignorance of how thier systems are used. Omegle didnt evolve to meet the new standard: dont connect people. Let them do that themselves. Then you cann

This is already a thing. This is why offices have false aka "drop" ceilings. It creates a void space for cable runs and air handling.

A blown head gasket is one of the easiest things to diagnose and repair. You can do it in your home garage with basic tools. But finding a faulty temp sensor that is throwing a code that in turn disables throttle response ... that require

Endowments are for statues, new buildings and scholarships, not paying the bills/salaries.

Be very careful about calling piracy a crime. It can be, but only in specific circumstances. Simple copyright violation is not generally criminal. It normally has to rise to the level of financial gain in order to trigger actual criminal

You dont even need real tubes, just some holes between floors and pull ropes installed behind the drywall. In commercial construction there is a whole industry of wall/door passthroughs. Go backstage at any concert hall or sport aren

Dont try to future proof you house with ethernet, fiber or any other cable. Install pull tubes, plastic pipes and passthroughs for pulling whatever cable is the new standard of the time. A house with a crawlspace and some riser tubes to u

Yes. Many do. Dig deeper and it is often the publishers rather than creators pushing such bans. Authors want sales, but in such a competative industry the increased publicity from illegal sharing can be worth more than hypothetical lost

It should be dumped into a trust fund, an endowment that will fund some low level SETI in perpetuity. The goal should be to free SETI from having to worry about funding from one year to the next. Funding such projects needs to be measured

Banning sites that share books. I guess they have already addressed all the illegal pornography, music, pirated soccer games, terrorism, offshore gambling, harrassment, credit card fraud, antiseminitism, homophobia, body shaming, fake news

Short laser pulse detection. So-called "close" SETI looking for emitters in our outer solar system.

Publicly-licensed works are 100% copyrighted. That's why they need licenses. A true public work doesn't need or get any licensing. Linux is copyrighted, and licensed, to become f/oss. Shakespeare is actually public domain

You browser loads a website. That is copying. Your browser saves a copy on a hard drive: copying. You integrate an image into a database: copying. Your CD player reads a song from a CD into its memory buffer: copying. All of these deba

That is another hair to split, between "registered" at time of infringement and "registered" at time of lawsuit. You need to register prior to bringing a claim. That isn't a big deal and can be done easily after an

Much automotive glass filters (reflects) IR, and also absorbs UV. Each UV ray is "higher energy" but the sun pumps out vastly more IR than UV. You cannot immediately feel the UV on your skin, not until it gives you a sunburn. Y

It is clear that these morons didnt understand anything about stage lighting risks. They obviously just went with whatever light sources gave the best bang for the buck. Cheap green lasers, cheap high-power UV lamps, no respect for best p

The footage ive seen had a few green lasers scanning. UV causes cornia damage, but not the headaches. IR lasers cause headaches, strange pains that the body doesnt understand and get interpreted as headaches. If this was only UV, most any

Green lasers. Not the first time ive seen this sort of thing. Green lasers are made by running an IR laser through a crystal that doubles thier frequency, shifting IR into what we see as green light. But go cheap on the crystal and a gre

That is the difference between a "game" and a "toy". One does not win or finish playing with a toy. Some software is games. Other software is a toy. This was a big deal when SimCity was pitched. There is no win. That&
