The important question is...
What phone did she drop?

Agree 100% on the point that robots.txt is a technical file, not a legal contract.
"In any case, technically there should be no need for a copyright notice — all content is protected by copyright by default, notice or no notice."
True, but the existence of a copyright notice is making it clear that you are staking your claim to be the rights owner.
"The organization has asked members not to make contact regarding any possible personal data security matters as it ***will be contacting affected members directly***, should the data be eventually found to be compromised."
So they'll let people know their data has been compromised by using exactly the same contact information and other data that any phisher now holds.
"There's also the developer name, which in LastPass' case should be "LogMeIn, Inc.," not a random person. "
NO! It should be "GoTo Technologies USA, Inc.", which is used on the Google app store. This is current name of the organisation, and has been for 2 years, not the old name that the Apple store uses. I assume there's either a hefty fee, or it is a lot of aggravation to change the developer name with Apple.
It's one thing to say the user should check the application is from the right company, but that is incredibly hard when the company does not use their current name on the Apple store!
Also there are two types of users of password managers, those who are technical enough to check the details before installing, and those that were advised by someone technical that they should be using a password manager. Family members or friends of techies are less likely to check the details before downloading, and are most likely to be tricked by these fakes. If it has a close-enough name and icon, that must be the right one.
My street was built in the 70's/80's and was cable TV from the beginning.
When I moved in 8 years ago BT could only offer me a not guaranteed 2Mb/s. Today their checker says 10mb/s possible.
Virgin broadband is 350Mb/s and I get all of that all the time.
The only time I called support was when the drive in the TIVO started failing. Engineer visited 3 days later and it was replaced.
As they are only demonstrating <40% of the theoretical performance, I wonder if the server cards are having similar power delivery issues as RTX 4090 desktop cards?
Obviously the connectors should be better, but these new ones are 700w cards compared to the previous generations 400w or 350w.
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
Good idea. The only issue is how to "transfer" the scrap phone in Apple's system so that:
1) The previous owner cannot deactivate the parts after selling it to someone.
2) The new owner cannot do a chargeback/dispute after it is received and the old owner can no longer deactivate it.
The government/DoD does have more money than a billionaire. But they never work out the cost/benefit ratio of the spending.
Wages for 700,000 staff at a miserly $2,000 per month = $1.4 billion per month. But they're only 50% effective due to bad IT.
It's a bigger waste of money to have those 700,000 staff working at 1/2 speed for a few weeks than it is to get new kit.
VM cable user here for last 6 years when I moved to this address. Choice was VM (any of their offerings up to 200Mb/s at the time) or "BT/Openreach" (offered up to 2mb/s and could not even guarantee that).
VM is mostly reliable except for the occasional area-wide problem that always coincides with brief power-cuts to a nearby town. I guess the power-cuts are knocking out some VM equipment until it can reset after a few minutes.
I've also just had free upgrade as I also have an O2 mobile contract and VM/O2 have partnered up. Double the data allowance on my mobile and the broadband has been upgraded to the next speed up. The download speed does not really matter, but the faster uploads help.
If your service is listed as being in a place that someone else digs into, that's the digger's fault.
If a place is apparently free of your service and someone hits something you didn't record, well tough. The company that failed to update their records should be liable for cost of repairs.
That's the only encouragement they need.
Off-the-shelf Lidar apparently: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/general/garmin-on-mars/
In the absence of any additional hardware, my original guess would have been the scale of own shadow in downwards facing camera. Assuming it stays in shot, this would be ok for the altitudes they are working at.
"For our proof of-concept exploit, we target the latest version of the Firefox browser at time of writing (v. 81.0.1) running on Ubuntu 18.04 with the latest updates and Linux kernel 4.15.0-111-generic installed."
So, early October 2020?
But some of the bits of Appendix C indicate that the paper was still being worked on in 2021. e.g. "Kali Linux 2021 W02" gets a mention. The references were updated February 2021.
Wouldn't it be a scientifically sound idea to retest with the latest Firefox, Ubuntu and Linux kernel just before publication and not rely on 4 month old test results.
So the biggest known supporters of the current setup are registrars from Ireland, Germany and the USA.
The main opponents of the current setup are from the UK.
Disgusted to see Nominet management being of more benefit to non-UK companies than local ones.
Normally when doing the work for free when legislation changes, both the supplier and the customer have no control over the legislative changes.
In this specific case, the customer gets to decide the legislative changes. That would be unfair on the supplier - though it looks like the rates they charge could provide a bit of a cushion for this.
But some content is needed to make the link meaningful. But how much?
None at all and just show the raw URLs to the users.
Just the TITLE tag. Maybe scrape the headline from the article. That will just encourage more clickbait from the news sites.
First paragraph. Is that all people need to know about the article so no clicks (as was the previous situation), encouraging news sites just hide all the details until the second paragraph?
I can't stand Facebook, but they have been told that if they do X they need to pay. So they decided not to do X, and a lot of unexpected things have been caught in that due to the poor definition in the law. I expect attempts will be made to force them to carry certain "news" AND pay for it.
If any country wants to declare Facebook an essential service (and I really hope not), that country should pay for it.
That information appears to vary depending on the political bias of your US news source.
A lot of cold-weather turbines are equipped with a heating system to prevent freezing. Often just in the housing to keep the bearings working, but can also include warm air circulated inside the blades to prevent ice build-up. I don't know if the turbines in Texas have any of these measures in place.
Of course this means that in cold and still weather, turbines are a drain on the grid. Probably insignificant when offset against the days they are working optimally.
Previous employer tried to issue me a contract that was not just restricted to software. Any copyrightable work had to be offered to the company for first refusal. The contract looked like a cut/paste/edit job from a generic HR book.
As a serious amateur photographer I could take a few hundred pictures a week. Every single one of which is immediately copyrightable, even if just a holiday snap. I pointed this out to HR and the contract was amended (before signing).
The process for submitting your off-time works to the legal team was not geared up for bulk submissions and would have taken up my entire working week, every week.
I don't use TikTok (and based on some of their other actions, I wouldn't want to defend them), but I've just checked and their relevant terms of service appear to be:
Minimum user age 13, and anyone under 18 needs parental consent.
Don't see how a 12 year old should have any case against them. Another case of someone circumventing the rules and later on getting upset that they were allowed to. I feel that this is another attempt by the Children's Commissioner to force mandatory age checks (that cannot be lied to) everywhere online.
