This is a great reason to ensure your mail client doesn’t auto-download embedded images, send read receipts, etc.
No reason to tip your hand until a lawyer tells you to. For instance, the last time I dealt with a lawyer, they had me send responses directly, in hopes the other side would underestimate our position. It worked, fwiw.
That's irrelevant for this issue. Domain holders have to provide working email addresses as a condition of registration, and are reminded annually to keep their addresses up to date.
If an email address can't be found, the correspondence can be delivered through other means if necessary (mail, process server, etc.). But generally, there has no longer been a need to waste paper and postage to deliver notices since email became practically ubiquitous.
IANAL but I am an internet plumber. Happy to provide expert witness that e.g. Hover, owned by Tucows, has a toggle for whois in their domain admin dashboard but it does nothing: I cannot turn whois on even if I want to.
Having, or publishing, an email address does not mean I care to, choose to, or will in fact receive email sent by you; or that I will display or treat it in the fashion you desire.
They may not check their email, but how is anyone on social media without email? I'm not aware of a single social site that doesn't require an email address to create an account.
I do not want to be negative, but are you sure this is best use of your time? Hackers always see problem to chase, but real life may work differently. I still remember how HN folks, were trying to design ventilators out if common parts, that would kill 100% patients.
Genetics is very hard, and in very good case you may get 10% correlation. Then you will have to convince specialists to chase this weak possibility...
Working on this will consume your time, and put you under stress. This energy could be spend on your partner instead. You will need a lot of energy it it progresses.
Also there is always a big chance of misdiagnosis. Simple stuff like food alergy can be mistaken for many illnesses. Perhaps best first action is to verify this diagnosis. Get second opinion. Or change environment to rule out common triggers.
This was also my first thought. While it's never the intention, there's real risk of making things about yourself/the project instead of your partner. Not because you rank one as more important, just because it's a more "known" thing that feels more comfortable.
Nothing wrong with research...if there are existing tools within reach (and it seems like there are) then it seems like it'd be interesting and possibly helpful to dive in. But I'd strongly encourage you to timebox it as a project so it doesn't grow into something unhealthy.
I think time with a partner is better spent on cheerful things than revolving around their disease. I would feel uncomfortable at some point if everything in my life is now about the disease.
Would not that have massive CO2 footprint? It would be very expensive to pay for it. Vulcanic eruption is natural and does not count, but man-made emmisions require permit.
>>Vulcanic eruption is natural and does not count,
I'm pretty sure the Earth's atmoshphere is physically incapable of differentiating between man-released CO2 and naturally released CO2.
>> man-made emmisions require permit
Whose permit? On what authority? Even if such permit would be required, who would deny it if the alternative was literally the destruction of a large portion of the United States(if we are talking about Yellowstone exploding)?
This would be an issue of national security. I would not want to be the person who spends money to set up drilling toward the Yellowstone Supervolcano without alerting the US Department of the Interior of the plans.
I can only imagine that such a massive enterprise would be entirely conducted by the US Government, probably any of the military branches(is Engineers Corps still a thing?)
The Army Corps of Engineers is a thing... their civil works authority makes them the final authority on water management (changing river flow, dams, anything related to water management.) Not sure about supervolcanos though, couldn't find that on their website.
I am sure that a minimum of the US Geological Survey and ACE will be involved in any supervolcano remediation plan. And probably FEMA but hopefully they won't need to act. ;)
There is Paris Agreement, most countries signed including Italy and US. Detonating nukes and releasing several gigatons of CO2 is more dangerous than supervulcano.
Naturally released CO2 is harmless. There is a difference!
>>Detonating nukes and releasing several gigatons of CO2 is more dangerous than supervulcano.
Eh? You are aware that if Yellowstone were to erupt it would literally mean the destruction of the United States. How is "defusing" the vulcano by detonating nukes "more dangerous" exactly?
>>Naturally released CO2 is harmless.
Again, atmosphere doesn't care - CO2 is CO2. Yes it doesn't count towards calculations that we currently do to model climate predictions, but it's not harmless, and a supervulcano event will fuck everything up, it doesn't magically stop having an effect just because it's natural.
Why should be AI in control, while its learning? Normal thermostats, wearables, phone/tv usage, and perhaps motion sensors should provide enough data points to tweak learning in passive mode.
Does it actually cover expenses? From what I read stipend does not even cover rent in expensive university towns. I could study on tropical island, be unemployed,
party every day and still have better disposable income.
My fiancee is getting her PhD in physical chemistry and is paid well enough to afford rent and food and the occasional nice thing.
It's actually just a little under the median household income for the area, so theoretically it's doable even with kids, though that speaks more to the level of poverty in Philadelphia.
Yeah, but those getting the test usually have a good reason and are willing to pay for it
From the article you linked:
> The tests were carried out in cases where there was doubt about the identity of the child’s father. They were done for personal information reasons, rather than for legal purposes. The tests cost from £95.
Disingenuous statement from you. 25 % of children who are tested because there is some question about paternity. Your statement reads, and is made to imply, 25% of all babies.
Good! German opposition and political activists desperately need good encryption to organize! Large opposition party was placed under surveillance before election, its leaders wiretapped. Today activists are monitored on Internet by secret services.
Just today the German online IT magazine heise.de published an article [0] claiming that the interior ministers (home secretaries?) will expect from social platforms like WhatsApp to implement backdoors so that the government can access a copy of the data. This is a wish they've been having for ages.
The AFD, a right wing party with quite a few ties to known neo-nazis or nazi symphatizers/apologists and also quite a bit of ties to some of the uglier right wing extremism that pops up its ugly head in Germany every once in a while. For example, there were a few arrests near the Polish border recently of some people who took it upon themselves to do a little policing in that area.
Also, it's easy to forget that this country had active right wing and left wing terrorists not so long ago.
So, yes Germany may have slightly overstepped their authority putting AFD party members under surveillance considering it is now a major party in several of its states and of course the parliament. In that sense it's a big scandal actually. But it's not entirely without reason. There are some really shady and scary people associating themselves with that party.
