Update: The Mac Studio requires an IPSW restore after changing its SSD modules to ensure that they are readable and able to boot. Running a Device Firmware Update (DFU) restore using the macOS IPSW package for the Mac Studio should enable the machine to boot from a different SSD, providing that both of the modules are of the same size and make, meaning that storage upgrades still appear to be feasible.

It is true that mere data is not copyrightable, but for map makers, representing that data is creative expression. Font choice/size, line types, size and map colors etc are all creative works that the map maker uses to make the data useful. Thus maps are copyrightable, but the underlying data is not.

The title seems to say that I, as a US taxpayer, had to *pay* for these movies somehow. That is simply not true. What I have to pay in taxes is not affected in anyway by how anyone else either pays or dosn't pay their taxes, our tax code is simply not written like that. It's not like the IRS says "well we are missing 5 billion from ViacomCBS, so you'll need to kick in an extra 10k to cover it" No that's not how it works at all, it's flat out wrong to even suggest that.

How much money the government spends and how much it takes in revenue is completely divorced and neither have any kind of bearing on the other. Just look at the current US debt and each spending bill that comes up. No one cares one bit if the government spending can actually be covered by tax revenue.

You can "launder" your crypto currency by transferring it to a cryto-exchange "hot-wallet", then to another wallet. From the outside, all you see is wallet1 to cryto-exchange-wallet. then crypto-exchange-wallet to wallet2. But since all the crypto is fungible, there is no way to prove or track the coins from wallet1 made to wallet2.

It could be anyone who has an account with the crypto-exchange transferring coins to wallet2, there is no way to find out unless you can peer inside the crypto-exchange internal records.... if the crypto-exchange even keeps those records...

You could also wash the coins through several exchanges making the tracking even more difficult.

Calm down with the vitrol. I think chispito really meant to say: "Does an emploer really owe something *more* to society for hiring people and paything them wages?"

The employer is already providing society a great benefit by hiring people and paying them wages, the employer does this by taking on a substantial amount of risk for the chance to earn some kind of profit. The employee, on the other hand, takes on relatively minimal amount of risk, accepting the job, doing the work and getting paid regularly.

Our whole society is built on this employer/employee relationship, and to tip the scales one way or the other with regulations will often lead to unintended outcomes because people will naturally do what is best for them, not for you.

You contradict yourself. You have a low UID, you *know* this is slashdot, and you still *expect* the editors to do math?

To put it into contemporary context: You expect, without evidence, that the so-called editors should be able to do basic arithmetic.

This is simply not true. Can twitter block LGBTQ's? Christians? Muslims? blacks? Latinos?

No they cannot, so you cannot say "for any reason including made-up reasons and no reason"

Businesses, privately owned, or publicly owned similarly cannot just deny services to who ever they way (right or wrong). A bakery was forced to decorate a cake.

In addition, Trump was blocked by law from blocking people from following him, and now Twitter can just jump in a block everyone from Trump's twitter, that gives Jack Dorsey more power than the president.

I would like Amazon to just show country of origin or manufacture as basic item information. It's required on the packaging and item, and if you were to buy it at a brick and motor store you can easily find that information. For some reason on amazon, they don't list that basic required information. Why?

*Of course PC WORLD would be the most butt hurt by this marketing mumbo jumbo*

Why wouldn't it scale? (paper as a backup method like the used here in the article)

each voting district has the same number of people in it (as determined by census), more population means more districts means more election workers. if anyone district was compromised, then election workers/officials from other districts can come in and help.

For better or worse, a feature that many consumers desire, is Apple's vetting on software on the app store. It appears Facebook wants to bypass Apple's vetting procedures. Apple will then have to rely of Facebook to properly vet the game code for malware and other content restrictions, I think this is what the sticking point is going to be.

Don't see where WHO rejected Remdesivir, it does not appear to be an officially published position. I was able to find some news article about a WHO sponsored study that has not been peer reviewed or published in a scientific journal that states that Remdesivir appears to be ineffective, but it's not the same thing as rejection. If you have a source where WHO rejects, I would like to see it (preferably from the who.int website)

The article only showed one test results from a oneplus8, and it showed that the slowest iphone loop was still faster than the fastest loop from the oneplus8.

According to the article, The edges goes to iphone since even at its slowest, its faster than android, and at its fastest, its way faster than android. Would like to see more comprehensive tests though.

There are no national fire safety "rules". The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA.org) is a non-profit organization that publishes codes and standards that states or local governments may adopt in part or whole or with modifications.

The only Federal safety laws are like OSHA and PHMSA governing specific things, and they apply everywhere, not just federal land.
 

Imposing additional rules for "Big Tech" would just make it harder for smaller companies to become "Big Tech", thus cementing their positions and limiting potential compeition.

By the time a small company might find success and become big, they will suddenly have to figure out how to comply with the big tech rules, and Big Tech will have an incentive to make compliance as complicated as possible for the little guy.
