The site itself has not been, but the library used to build the map of cross-references is https://kythe.io/

> name, address, political jurisdiction, gender, date of birth, voting record, date of registration, and registration number

Voting record in this case means which elections you voted in, not who you voted for.

It is explicitly illegal to use these records to send advertisements, but who knows how well that works

In much of the US, voter registrations are considered public record by state law. For example: https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=29A.08.710

Israel may have a similar law but I don't speak Hebrew and I suspect any searches I do for this will get buried by the news of the leak, so I don't think I'll be successful in finding it.

Does that account for data centers getting built primarily in areas with easy access to renewable energy? I suspect the fuel mix for your average Amazon data center to be considerably greener than running the same power rig out of your home. I don't know if it's enough to offset the cost of the networking equipment between the DC and your house, but it's not so clear cut that this would be worse than buying a gaming rig and running the game yourself.

Having seen the employment agreements for both, I can confidently say that Google's clause is the same as Microsoft's. Microsoft may be less strict about enforcing it, but the language was the same.

With a work profile on Android, I can temporarily disable all of my work account stuff with the push of a button. It may not be as physically satisfying as throwing the phone in the bottom of a drawer for a week, but the vacation experience is the same.

Doesn't look like it. The article mentions that it's a deal with the department of corrections, and that WVDCR is getting commissions from the program.

Most of these tunnels are being built in heavily populated areas where surface space is at a premium. You'd have to tear down thousands of apartments and offices to make any meaningful progress on a cut and cover tunnel inside a city unless the tunnel is exactly following existing roads. That would be both very expensive and far more disruptive than just a little traffic

It's probably more commonly known among people who have taken government classes since 1992, since it's basically proof that government classes can have a real impact on public policy.

It's not a GPL problem. It's a GPLv3 problem. Most likely the anti-tivoization clause. Linux, like the old version of Bash that Apple is shipping, is licensed under GPL v2.

I suspect Microsoft is also very careful to make sure they don't ship any GPL v3 components with Windows itself, even when they're available via separate download, because they want to be able to ship locked down devices.

That also only works if the patient can choose a different provider. If the only anesthesiologist authorized to assist in the only in-network hospital in the area equipped to do a particular urgent surgery charges an arm and a leg, there's not much knowing the price will do

Some of the markets they're applying for seem a little questionable. Looks like they're trying to claim far more than just social network.

* Downloadable e-commerce computer software to allow users to perform electronic business transactions via a global computer and communication networks

* Magnetically encoded gift cards;

* Software for accessing and viewing text, images and electronic data relating to conferences in the field of software development;

* Software for making reservations and bookings;

* Software for ordering and/or purchasing goods and services

* Software to enable accessing, displaying, editing, linking, sharing and otherwise providing electronic media and information via the internet and communications networks

English and its ambiguous grammar... I mean when the founding fathers designed the electoral college, they wouldn't have been concerned about it taking power away from minority groups. In addition, the people in rural areas today who are so concerned about removing the electoral college giving more power to cities are not concerned about how the electoral college disenfranchises minorities because they are much less likely to be minorities or have many close friends who are than people in cities and suburbs so it's not something they'd normally think about.

That assumes that "only appeals to cities" is the only type of populist that we need protection from. The electoral college does nothing to protect against things like "only appeals to white people" or "only appeals to Christians" populists, which were not a big concern for America's founders or the much whiter and more Christian rural population today.

Ok, but why do that for railroad crossings and not any other type of dangerous crossing? Should we have these apps announce every stop sign, traffic light, and uncontrolled intersection you travel through for safety reasons?

That was a bit of a mess. Technically, no carrier at the time had a "real" 4G network, according to the ITU- only LTE-Advanced and WiMAX 2 met their definition.

Since the ITU had declared that Sprint's WiMAX network and Verizon's LTE network weren't real 4G, T-Mobile decided that they could call their (just-as-fast-as-early-LTE-networks) HSPA+ network 4G too, and then AT&T was almost forced to follow suit because T-Mobile was advertising how their 4G network was so much bigger than everyone else's.

Worldwide it's less then 1/4, but for obvious reasons, its market share is much higher in wealthier countries. From a brief search, it's 46% in the US, and has the majority in a handful of European countries including the UK and Norway. So regulators in those countries still have a reason to look at it.

Most of the time, you're trying to solve different types of locks: key locks, 3 and 4 digit combination locks, combination locks with letters, directional locks (not going to say always try the Konami code, but there's a good chance that's going to be the answer), stuff like that. You may have to solve riddles to figure out where the keys and combinations are.

Some puzzles are purely observation. The Jurassic Park "hide stuff in the bottom of a Barbasol can" trick is pretty popular, there are safes where they tell you the code is the "boss's wife's birthday", so you have to find the calendar or rolodex or dated happy birthday note in the room.

There was one room I did that swapped the keycaps on a typewriter to make a substitution cipher- type the coded message into the typewriter and the decoded message would come out.

The rooms with higher production quality tend to incorporate more technology into the puzzles. One room I did gave you instructions on a radio (which you got from a previous locked box), if you were tuned to the right station- hinted at from a different clue, with the radio instructions changing as you finished each step. Another room had rigged together a large box with a Kinect or Leap Motion or something similar setup where you had to stick your hand into the box and move it around in the right place to open a magnetic lock, but the screen showing you the correct sequence was in another room that you couldn't see so your teammates had to be in the other room shouting directions at you.

Not all 14 of them are Republican. Delaware has two Democrats, and Vermont has one Democrat and one Bernie Sanders.

> In the absence of the authorisation referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1, Member States shall provide that an online content sharing service provider shall not be liable for acts of communication to the public or making available to the public within the meaning of this Article when:

> (a) it demonstrates that it has made best efforts to prevent the availability of specific works or other subject matter by implementing effective and proportionate measures, in accordance with paragraph 5, to prevent the availability on its services of the specific works or other subject matter identified by rightholders and for which the rightholders have provided the service with relevant and necessary information for the application of these measures;

So basically if the rightsholders can convince the courts that they could have done more to proactively prevent copyright infringement, they're liable.

Who you voted for is private. The fact that you voted is public- anyone can get that from the state, no need for you to volunteer it.

Wouldn't they also need access to a device that already synced your passwords? That essentially switches your computer to be the second factor, albeit one that's more easily compromised with malware. And if they already have malware on your computer, you're probably hosed anyway since the passwords have to be decrypted at some point.

If all they managed to do was trick me into entering my master password on a dummy login page, the sort of phish that U2F is designed to protect against, U2F would still keep me protected while OTP wouldn't.

LastPass doesn't support U2F at all. They only support the Yubikeys in the less-secure one-time-password mode.

Calculating costs here is tricky. Do you only include the cost for Google running running the Play Store infrastructure itself, or do you also include the costs of developing and running Google Play Services? What about the costs Google has developing Android itself, which is otherwise given away for free?

The problem is with the incentives: if the recipient of a DMCA request doesn't immediately take down the target, they become liable for any copyright infringement.

While Google would probably win if it came down to a lawsuit, the two options they have are to take it down and let the site operator dispute it, or go to court to defend the actions of a group they're unaffiliated with. The obvious choice for pretty much any group is to take it down.

Oh, it's certainly a sell out. I'm just saying it's not a sellout to Starbucks. It's a sell out to the dairy industry.

It's milk-based drinks that are excluded, not Starbucks specifically. So it doesn't apply to things like chocolate milk, milkshakes, or milkshakes with a small amount of coffee in them.

Pet dogs can do it to, if they have a reason to (like their owner taking too long to get them to the dog park: http://komonews.com/news/local/seattle-dogs-rush-hour-ride-o...)

What measure are you using for "much more common"? According to the OECD data, the US is 7th for percent of population 16-64 with a post-secondary degree, and Luxembourg is the only western European country ahead of the US (the others are Canada, Russia, Israel, Japan, and South Korea).

If you limit it to 25-34 year olds with at least a 4 year degree, the US falls to be in the middle of the pack compared to western Europe- behind Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and the UK, but ahead of Norway, France, Spain, and Germany.

The acronym was coined in 2013 to describe the best-performing tech stocks at the time. Microsoft's resurgence hadn't really happened yet. The acronym was so convenient that no one's updated it except to add Apple (which didn't require a change in pronunciation).
