There should be a required WARRENT ID field and it should be checked against valid active warrents. Otherwise, access denied.

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

Man, Nicholas Tesla was right when he wrote

Actually, I think I've got this one, other than whether this was really necessary.

I mean they didnt do it to an actual living creature, but yeah its still pretty fucked up if you think about it, we emulated a brain and then dropped it in literally a virtual recreation of 'hell'...

Do not create the Torment Nexus.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.

Fun fact, Ackman is a hardline Trump supporter who helped get him elected.

" suffering a brain hemorrhage that would render her unable to move, speak or see,"

And they went with sight in the headline? Being unable to move is waaaaay worse.

Anyway, I feel bad for her and him (though he's a right-wing nutjob who has used his wealth to help drag down American society).

So noted. The intent was to provide sufficient context (and reference for said context) since enough time has passed that people might not know that the Tivo of today is not the same legal entity as the original Tivo.

We should be glad the original articles haven't bit-rotted into non-existence with how bad the web has gotten...

* Provide a service that provides a great benefit (commercial skip) to get people hooked
* Build userbase based on this benefit
* Sue other people based on "infringement" of this feature
* Sell itself to a pure patent troll (Rovi) which then renames itself Tivo
* After model of extorting other companies over patent troll portfolio is exhausted, start extorting the customer base

"Rovi has aggressively pursued licensing deals and litigation for its patent portfolio, dating back to predecessor company Gemstar-TV Guide International. Rovi says it has more than 5,000 issued or pending patents worldwide, with intellectual-property licensing representing 54% of its total 2015 revenue.

According to Rovi, its patents are licensed by eight of the top 10 U.S. TV service providers, including AT&T, Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications.

On Thursday, Rovi said in an SEC filing that reached a deal with Time Warner Cable â" which is in the process of being acquired by Charter â" to extend its existing interactive program guide and patent licensing agreement. The pact, which was set to expire March 31, has been extended through Dec. 31, 2016.

Last year, Rovi suffered a rare legal defeat against Netflix, after a U.S. federal judge ruled that the five Rovi-owned patents at issue in Rovi's lawsuit against the streaming-video company were invalid.

Rovi said it has not changed its financial estimates for 2016, which anticipated possible litigation with Comcast.

Separately, Rovi has reportedly been in talks to acquire DVR maker TiVo, which also has a sizable patent portfolio and won $1.6 billion to date from intellectual-property litigation."

"t's time to say goodbye, sort of, to the company whose pioneering DVR introduced consumers to time shifting and ad skipping. Some 17 years after it went public, TiVo just became a part of Rovi with the closing of a $1.1 billion cash and stock acquisition deal they made in May â" but with the buyer now adopting the TiVo name."

The US produces more manufacturing output than every other country on earth other than China.

Nothing to see here, just normal day-to-day government work circumventing the 4th amendment by outsourcing data collection to the private sector. This kind of thing happens all the time.

Move along, Citizen!

Has he(George Santos) done anything to help the Republican Party?


Yes, he has. He has made a bald-faced mockery of the rule of law. That's priceless for supporters of an imperial presidency.

The fact of the matter is that the very existence of unregulated bookies like Kalshi incentivizes actions that may not be reversible, like, I dunno, bombing another country or burning down an orphanage.

Yeah, the products were better under Cook.
