So are we even sure it's not legal...

As long as you pay license fees who cares where you get the recording?

Internships and open source contributions...

Seriously, there is no excuse for lack of experience. There is lots of opportunities to make high impact contributions to reputable open source projects.
I didn't say it wasn't hard work, but the opportunities are there... And internships are widely available in the US, sure there is competition, but many of the good internships are well paid too.

Try it, I bet it won't help... You can also try attaching a fake picture why not...
Multiple studies have found that using a foreign name or attaching non-white pictures is a huge disadvantage.
If you don't believe that I see absolutely no harm in trying, hehe, for real though try it if you don't believe the studies.

Communist :) hehe

But yes, more government funding for research is the best way to keep drug costs down. IMO we don't have to do everything in the public sector, but finding a balance... Notably reducing the barrier to entry for new drug companies by making funds available, funding basic research with open publication, limiting patents, and using patents from publicly funded research to the benefit of the public.

I would assume gun uses are recorded. But I guess maybe not in the "wild west".

Note. In other countries where guns aren't pervasive the mere act of drawing your gun, signaling that you have one, or flashing it, is consider use for force and must be reported (like any other act of violence).
As an interesting statistics from Danish police 2015:
Use of gun: 148 instances (a police officer drawing or signaling that he has a gun)
Number of shots: 11 (of which 8 were warning shots)

That's from ~10k police officers protecting a population of 5m people.

Granted that's stats from police; but it's hard to argue that civilians are likely to need a gun more often than the police.
Note: Yes, US murder rate is 10x, police killing rate is 100x (at least), so US has more violence, but if guns aren't pervasive you rarely need them.

Bare metal on-demand is becoming a thing checkout packet.net or scaleway.com
Sure, they don't have the infrastructure or services to complete with AWS yet, but they are both adding block storage options.. scaleway even seems to adding blob storage similar to S3.

With containers and qubernetes I can see virtualization on it's way out... Well, at-least in the cases where you want to squeeze out the last bit of performance.

Sorry, the formatting ran crazy, and I accidentally hit submit...

The ideal would be for google to tweak the reply so it becomes:
Burger King Ad: "Okay Google: what is the whopper burger",
Google Home: "The whooper burger is one of the leading causes of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in the United States."

A response that is objectively true, and not in Burger Kings interest.

On topic, this is this actually illegal, but the severity is similar to that of an elementary school kid who installs scripts displaying a funny gif on the teachers computer while its attached to the projector.
Neither is technically legal, but both falls under the category of "harmless prank". If repeated or taken to extremes a fine (or a trip the principals office is appropriate).
Of all the corporate criminal activities we see this is a minor one, and one that warrants no more than a fine.

No it's not... People run into lots of unfortunate circumstances... Mental health, disability, bad luck, substance addiction, lack of gainful employment...

These rules are sound, but if "sunk cost" is food, I can't fault a parent for borrowing to cover it.

Yeah, you could probably cut defense spending in half... and the world would be a safer place :) hehe

Indeed you have many low hanging efficiency gains... But it requires that you recognize reality. The US does not appear to be going in that direction.

Because you can avoid virtualization... You only have worry about the bits inside your container... Which unlike a VM you can build locally.. building VMs is a hassle..

Are the major of people killed by handguns killed in justifiable self-defense?

Nope, but we might see reduction in research and development of new drugs...

But in fairness, there is value to balancing how much money we spend on researching new drugs and how much we spend on treating people with existing drugs..Clearly, it's not cost efficient to develop drugs for rare diseases..

Or, maybe the end result is higher government subsidies for research and development, which probably could be more efficient economically than financing drug research and development through the stock marked.

IMO gnome-shell has long been better than unity... I keep experiencing a lot of papercuts in unity, windows jumping between desktops, weird interactions and just generally annoying papercuts...

gnome seems to have a lot of momentum these days.. and whilst I don't like all the decisions I can live with most of them, except the lack of type-ahead in nautilus...

Nope, Trump was elected on a promise to give you back the coal jobs... Enjoy :)

While they do conclude that they don't see CAs role for (DV certificates) to protect against phishing... They do already lookup domain names in Google Safe Browsing API before issuing certificates.

From a puristic point of view the purpose of a certificate is to prove that you are talking to example.com, and not some other domain. Verifying that example.com is your bank and not registered by a scammer is a not the purpose of a certificate.

That said, it seems they already are looking up in Google Safe Browsing API, so at-least there is some barrier to entry. And while I agree that it's not a CAs purpose to be internet police, I do hope that we'll see more best-effort protections to stem abuse. Granted this sort of a abuse is probably better fixed at registrar level.
