Actually, it may. The US has some odd laws where US companies have to enforce US restrictions globally. However, it wasn’t my understanding that Kaspersky was on any of the lists that would have resulted in this. Possibly it boils down to a Google ToS violation?

I’m sure we’ll be hearing more details this week.

“When I said ‘everyone,’ I didn’t mean THEM….”

That’s really interesting. I wonder if it’s due to Google being a US company?

I’m confused: Kaspersky just finished transferring its endpoint security software in these regions to a different company’s product via a software update. Kaspersky has sent messages out to customers saying that they are leaving this marketplace.

Given this context, I can see no reason why Google would leave their Android product available when they’re not technically allowed to sell it and Kaspersky has said that they won’t be selling it into these markets going forward. It does, of course, prevent Kaspersky from pulling another bait and switch and “updating” mobile devices to a third party product. That would be the reason for locking out the developer accounts.

I grew up in an evangelical family. We had a wooden spoon for punishment. It was used a grand total of twice. My parents made sure never to use it in anger, and never hard enough to actually cause pain.

And after twice, my parents sat me down and told me that there was no useful purpose in violence as punishment for wrongdoing, it wasn’t something Jesus had ever told people to do, there were better ways to discipline than corporal punishment to lead a child in the correct way to go, and they’d never do it again.

I was disappointed at the time because a few thwacks with a spoon was simpler than having actual consequences directly tied to my behavior.

But growing up, I knew other kids who got hit with a stick, spoon or belt in anger by their parents and relatives regularly. Most of them didn’t have religious parents, but some of them did.

This is a horribly written article about an exciting discovery.

Essentially, they’ve discovered that some humans don’t actually have the AnWj antigen, where it was assumed that all humans had some antigen configuration. And they’ve found a way to test for the missing antigens.

Doctors go to school for seven years racking up debt, and then usually have to shoulder the burden of liability and operational costs. It’s expensive to become a medical doctor, and expensive to be a medical doctor.

These costs are part of what keeps both doctors and patients safe. Doctors end up with both the power and the risk.

Nurses by comparison have only basic training before on the job training kicks in; it’s relatively easy to become a nurse, and if you mess up, the worst that’s going to happen is that you get fired and have to go work somewhere else.

But even as a nurse, if you’re quick to pick things up, you can move up the ranks and find a specialty that has more power and pays better than a standard RN. Without the seven years of debt.

And life’s not just about pay; quality of life is generally more important, and that sucks for most doctors, who have relatively short life expectancies and limited time to spend their money.

And he’s right.

The headline doesn’t take things far enough. The GOP isn’t looking to win in court — they’re looking to raise the spectre of a Democratic win being so illegitimate that the courts would consider hearing a case on it. Then, when the cases inevitably fail, but with some judges outspokenly objecting, that will be the signal for yet another insurrection attempt, but one that’s much better coordinated than last time.

Thing is, this will be the THIRD attempt using this strategy; the first was in play when Trump, much to his surprise, actually won in 2016. It took a while for them to spin down the machinery they’d put in place to call the election rigged and question the results. And of course, during that time a small amount of foul play WAS discovered, all of it belonging to the GOP.

I was not expecting it to be a positive story… but it really is. The team’s name was granted to them by the local chief, and the logo has now been updated in consultation with the same group. So instead of an act of cultural appropriation, we’ve got an act of recognition of a part of the local community.

Of course, they’ll have to explain this over and over again to the rest of the world, but that’s not a bad thing either.

“Charity” should be a question answered by “do they have a registered charity number?”

What’s considered a charity will differ country by country.

They don’t recommend them because of what the homeowners can do with them?

I’m much more worried about the fact that they’re a constant feed of activity accessible by anyone who can bypass or be let through Amazon’s access controls.
