  • Yes, but:

    "Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan's very high conviction rate is the country's low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.According to them, Japanese prosecutors only pursue cases that are likely to result in convictions, and not many others.
    According to Professor Ryo Ogiso of Chuo University, prosecutors defer prosecution in 60% of the cases they receive, and conclude the remaining 30% or so of cases in summary trials. This summary trial is a trial procedure in which cases involving a fine of 1,000,000 yen or less are examined on the basis of documents submitted by the public prosecutor without a formal trial if there is no objection from the suspect.
    Only about 8% of cases are actually prosecuted, and this low prosecution rate is the reason for Japan's high conviction rate." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan

  • Remember the Beirut explosion?
    Now realize that it was caused by around 1/10th as much ammonium nitrate that is on this ship (2750 vs 20000 tonnes)

  • Yes, because it used to be"Reddit is Fun", which wasn't okay. That was the point.

  • WP Engine for WordPress.
    That seems to be the commonly accepted solution if you look at other 3rd party trademark cases - situations like "RIF is fun for Reddit" coming to mind.

  • If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users. -https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#5-license-grant-to-other-users

    License can't really revoke that.

  • Bigger problem is the No Derivatives clause of the CC licence, as compiling or forking the code creates a derivative, so it's now a project nobody is allowed to use (or distribute) in any other form than their exact, precompiled releases.

    In fact, as the GitHub terms of service specifically require you to allow forking - as recently demonstrated by the WinAmp project - I wonder if CC ND is even possible to be used in GitHub in the first place.

  • And when the pampers ad is 24 second long and the walmart ad is 55 seconds, even if they start at the same time, they won't end at the same time, and now the next ad, even if it starts at 5:00 in the video, starts at a different time as well.

    [Edit] actually, it doesn't matter. Old timestamps need to work, so when a user links to 5:00 in the video,the actual video stream needs to align with that, but the ad will be injected to the stream before. So trying to jump over the ad would just play you another ad first.

  • It will always be randomized, otherwise it's not targeted. There's no reason to run Swedish pampers ads in the US or Walmart ads in Japan.

  • When you are a paramilitary organization, the line between what is military equipment and what isn't gets quite blurry. Especially when they weren't really "boobytrapped", they were turned into remote explosives and did nothing until explicitly triggered.

  • Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon's parliament

    "... and paramilitary group,[44][45] led since 1992 by its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council,[46] and its political wing is the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese Parliament. Its armed strength was assessed to be equivalent to that of a medium-sized army in 2016." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

    What's the armed strength of the UK labour party, just curious?

  • Thought sabotaging enemy equipment to explode isn't.
    Had this been a bunch of Russian or Wagner Group radio equipment exploding because they had been rigged by Ukraine, it wouldn't be a war crime - combatants don't stop being valid targets even if they are on leave and are at fault of endangering the civil population, possibly themselves causing a war crime by effectively using civilians as human shields in the process.

  • Replacing lost functionality is also acceptable for a cyborg, but Hawkings simply didn't replace any organic part of himself, he used external devices. Someone with cochlear implants or a total artificial heart totally should count as a cyborg though - they have integrated mechanical body parts (well, both are partly external I guess...)
    But it doesn't really make sense that just because this version of a hearing implant doesn't give you better than normal hearing, having an identical device that did would be the difference between being a cyborg or not.

  • So did I. But after the new Deus Ex games and looking at the real tech scene evolve recently, I'm feeling more and more that just maybe Togusa had the right idea staying natural.

  • The comments the husband has given are fairly good proof at least some, probably most, were fucked up and knowingly raping a drugged up woman that didn't have a clue it was happening. But with so many doing it, I do wonder if some of them honestly thought she was in on it.

  • Good point. Though the deck actually keeps a backup. Updates are done to a second partition and if it fails to boot for some reason, it automatically rolls back to booting from the previous good installation. That's why it's really hard to completely brick the system.

    But also why with every update all the modifications you did are reverted. Not that big of a deal once you know about it though, I just have a script that installs and configures everything after each update.

  • Because they didn't make one.
    And the reason this one isn't 28 months later is because it's heck of a lot easier to make the 48 year old Cillian Murphy look like a convincing 54-year old than a 28 year old.
