Comment Re: Uh, what? (Score 1) 319

In exactly the same pedantic way, there's also no such thing as a "Teletype Model 33 ASR". Teletype referred to it as the "33 TELETYPEWRITER SET AUTOMATIC SEND-RECEIVE ('ASR')", and sometimes the "Model 33 Automatic Send-Receive (ASR) Teletypewriter Set."

But, almost everyone called them ASR33/KSR33, or 33ASR/33KSR, and everyone understood what you were talking about.

Vehicles are exempt from FCC Part 15 radiation limits.

The limits apply to a computer I may only use at home and which would only really interfere with my own devices. Vehicles move all over the place and can interfere with other people's stuff. With the increase of electronics in newer vehicles, perhaps they shouldn't be exempt.

The US isn't protesting on the lawn when they sanction another nation, so any comparison to your "peaceful protest" is a non sequitur. Sure, the Israelis are assholes and overreacted. Hamas knew that before they murdered civilians and took hostages, causing Israel's "response to clear and well documented actions." There's plenty of blame for both sides.

But, you're trying to change the discussion to something completely different.

>peaceful protestors

I'm not sure I'd classify those demonstrations as peaceful. UN comments on The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights say "In accordance with article 20 of the Covenant, peaceful assemblies may not be used for propaganda for war (art. 20 (1)), or for advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence (art. 20 (2))." And there sure seems to be a lot of that going on.

Comment Hypocritical. (Score 2) 44

Article complains in inflammatory terms about Broadcom's slides lacking technical details and "without the minimum disclosure needed to check those claims.", then goes on to make accusations while providing no technical details and without the minimum disclosure needed to check those claims. All based on unspecified sources.

Yellow journalism at its finest.

Comment Summary sucks. (Score 1) 29

From the summary, it seems that Amazon's copyright rules prevent employees copying DNA from a mother and father to a child.

You have to read the article to find she accuses Amazon" of singling her out because she complained when Amazon allegedly breached its own rules against copyright infringement when it came to AI research."

>fine print at the bottom on TL;DR user agreement is what legally constitutes informed consent.

Exactly how is a consumer bound to a user agreement they haven't signed ("driving data had been shared ... despite not being enrolled in the program.")? And, what about someone who buys a used car? Do you think the manufacturer has some kind of hold over them?

>Disruptively protesting in the workplace is pretty much exactly what their cause demands in this scenario.

And firing employees who are disruptive to the workplace is exactly what is demanded in this scenario. That's what they're being fired for, not for protesting. They can protest all they want off-hours, away from the workplace.
