I’m hesitant to blame the celebrities on this one. Putting on a concert is a business proposition not just for the venue and ticketing (dis)service, but also for the performers. As with any business venture, the goal is to profit. Larger acts often have large set pieces to create and massive amounts of equipment to transport, not to mention all the labor that goes into setting up at each venue. Can’t make the economics of that work if you don’t have enough seats to sell, and Ticketmaster/LiveNation owns the lion’s share of those large venues.

Look into microphone jammers

We have a one-car garage and two cars. I have a table saw, therefore we have a no-car garage.

Fair

Could be a gasoline/jet fuel powered drone, but still not energetic explosions.

As a result of the explosion, windows were broken in some houses but nobody was injured, PAP reported.

Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz later said the object was most likely a drone, adding that an analysis was underway to determine whether it was a military or smuggling one, PAP reported.

While I’m not an explosions expert, I would wager that a non-military drone likely wouldn’t be carrying anything that explodes energetically enough to break windows. I suspect only an explosives-armed drone would do that.

If Germany bans ad blockers and a German citizen or company becomes victim to a malicious advertisement, do they have a case against the German government or by extension Axel Springer?

As the article states, the distance between Italy and Sicily is around 2 miles (3 km), which makes this bridge unimpressive in terms of overall length, as there are hundreds of bridges longer than that. The article claims this would be the world’s longest bridge, comparing it to Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, which isn’t the world’s longest bridge, but rather the bridge with the longest unsupported span at 2 km. There’s no artist rendering of the proposed bridge, and no mention of whether Italy was planning to build this bridge in such a way that the main span would be over 2 km. This distinction means the difference between unremarkable, or modern engineering marvel.

The whole discourse in US is all around illegal immigration specifically.

That’s a bold claim.

I don’t want to alarm you, but we’re now 22 years past your graduation. “Almost ten years” and then some.

DOOM Dark Ages. I’m about halfway through.

“All code paid for by taxpayer dollars should be open source, available for comment, for feedback, for people to build on and for people in other agencies to replicate. It saves everyone money and it is our [taxpayers’] IP,” she said. “This is just good government and should absolutely be the standard that government technologists are held to.”"

Nice sentiment, but bad take. Open-sourcing the software that runs our military equipment would be a fantastic gift to the bad actors of the world.

Not a CEO, he’s the president of Panama.

The only text on that page that states the origin of the dev’s code is Mazda’s claim that the relevant code is Mazda’s. If their claim is true, then it would seem to me the DMCA takedown is valid.

The reason the DMCA takedown notice is malicious is that code from Mazda’s official app is not required to develop a tool that works in a similar way. The API of the server is freely accessible and figuring out how to interact with it can be done completely without infringing on anyone’s copyright.

Okay, it doesn’t matter how it could have been done, it matters how it was done, and again, the only claim made on the page is that it was stolen code.

I’m all for actually owning what you buy and being able to integrate it with your other stuff however you please, but distributing someone else’s work is a valid claim for infringement. And as with any other cloud-based stuff, don’t expect it to work forever. Support and push for local device access without the need for cloud services.

Brace yourself, because it’s going to get a lot worse.

Semantic satiation

Eco Tank is a good choice if you print with regularity or need a photo printer, but not if you print maybe once or twice a year. It’s still an inkjet, and the head will still clog if sat unused for a couple months, requiring a lengthy head cleaning cycle and possible replacement of the maintenance box. If you almost never print, but need your printer to just work without fuss that one random day you need to print, it’s gotta be a laser printer.

A sane president who values geopolitical allies would just work out a deal with the host country to install more military bases in the region of concern, rather than burning every partnership we have by being aggressively expansionist.
