The law is a sham that's routinely changed in favor of those who make the most money. Just because something's legal doesn't mean it's right. The law also applies differently based on who you are and how much justice one can afford. I also think you're exaggerating. Someone saying if content is worth something to you, you should be willing to okay for it is a far cry from them labeling themselves the arbiter of copyright like you seem to have done.
Actually, yeah you can. Happened in WW2. People can be drafted and stop lossed. Entire factories were taken over, wages were frozen, and product shortages happened due to military need. If people can't make a profit building military units perhaps it's time the military starts building it's own skills again.
The problem fundamentally is yes it's your data. It's what makes you, you. The reason this is important is because if you can't control this data it can be used against you. At some point in the near future if not already you'll have job applications rejected based on third party data you didn't sign up for and can't opt out of. It will impact your healthcare, your loans, what prices you see when you shop and what items are shown. In essence what makes you, you is used solely for controlling you and the options available to you.
Between Drive and Photos. Also it's only one way now, up, you can no longer sync photos between computers. It was major news for Photos users when it happened. I'll provide a link for more info. There was a large amount of functionality lost when this happened. Iirc it also dropped the ability to save Photos in native resolutions higher than the compressed Google format but I'm not 100% on that since I sync my family photos using Plex to my own server.
Steam automatically updates your games. Windows 10 automatically installs updates for your system. Chocolatey automatically updates your apps. And your driver software automatically updates your drivers if you choose. Everything on my computer automatically updates without my intervention unless I choose to intervene right now. With GNU/linux it's even easier with package managers. Same with Mac.
But you won't be playing the games on high settings. You'll be playing them on the equivalent of a mid tier computer with extra lag. The article goes into this in depth about how degraded the quality of play is. You have to pay for access and the games as well as have a device locally that stream. It's really barely going to be cheaper than an Xbox and give you significantly less performance.
It's going to be used to allow homeschooling to accept answers that are purely based on religion. It's just going to harm Ohio as their schools lose accreditation due to religion replacing science, after all you can't penalize someone if they legitimately believe that the Earth was made by Xenu. It's a legitimate concern after all. In fact how do we know what a legitimate concern is and who dictates that? If this were as innocent as you say then there would be no reason to create it as that's the status quo. You're not reading this correctly through religious lenses. It also does nothing to protect atheists unless there's some other part of the bill that covers it as atheism isn't a religion.
Netflix creates caching boxes inside the local ISP which reduces both latency and bandwidth requirements for top content. These only store the most popular content.
That really leaves out that both left and right wing ideologies have found a way to use the technology effectively for their own means. The platform itself isn't some niche platform.
It may be technically easy but you still have to deal with network effect, bandwidth costs, and a multitude of the legal issues before we even get to political issues. There already exist alternatives to Youtube that solve various aspects of this. Peertube, BitChute, Mega, heck there's no reason one couldn't use the the tech behind popcorntime for setting up something useful and legal. You still run into network effect every time.
Former general counsel for the firm claimed that there was financial wrongdoing. Attempted to resolve internally and externally veggie going to the Feds. She is suing the company for back pay off $30 million plus $30 million more.
Person who was in charge of the fund, the one the general counsel accused of misleading investors, countersued saying she was a bad employee and was making it all up.
Peter Thiel was somewhat involved or we wouldn't know about it.
It's Dunkin now. They too hip and trendy for donuts, you pleb. Forget that Dunkin got started by providing working class people garbage coffee with warm donuts. It's all upscale now and they don't need no donuts, or Onion bagels.
Edit: Pepsi and Coke taste worlds different. I don't prefer either but they do have massively different flavor profiles.
He's saying these feel good stories only exist because of terrible situations to begin with. The company C&Ded him but after public backlash changed that heart. The hospital gave a patient an $800k medical bill after the insurance company refused to put her baby on the insurance but they magically could after publicity. The ability to get publicity and bad press should not be the arbiter of fair treatment, fair treatment should be the norm not the outlier.
VA Beach for me. I paid to park. The meter was broken do it didn't properly register the amount paid. Still got a ticket even after explaining. They told me my only recompense was to spend more than the ticket to fight it, in person only, at some unspecified date in the future. We spent nearly nothing we didn't have to for the rest of the trip. Hope you got your parking money.
HOAs also enforce environmental requirements, legal requirements, etc. These are not voluntary payments and require payments to the HOA. Otherwise what happens it that it gets dumped on the city and everyone's taxes go up, another involuntary payment. There's a subdivision they are attempting to install next to my house by bypassing numerous requirements which are going to make HOA payments sky high. The developer is trying to do everything as cheap as possible and leave the homeowners holding the bill.
You missed something in the article. He bought a property in a depressed area. The property rose in value to where it's now over $125000. The city foreclosed on the house and sold for $25k and kept the profits above $8.41 of back taxes owed.
Literally every other first world country sends a receipt with how much the government took, how much you're owed or how much you owe and the ability to amend. Ours is intentionally made more painful because of anti-tax zealots that want it so and have admitted it. There is zero reason our taxes need to be as stressful or as Stone consuming as they are. Most of the time your "donations" still don't add up to more than the standard deduction. If you're wealthy enough to be above that, you're probably already using a tax professional and own either real estate or a business.
Amazingly you can get cheaper cell plans including more data than these unlimited plans in the socialist bastion of Europe. I don't think the bandwidth is the problem it's the company and the regulatory capture. It's only this bad in the US and Canada.
It translates to nothing for the party who was damaged. Literally they will get nothing. And if they don't like that deal the government can make it hurt more. Your life here ruined over an ounce of weed, but rob multiple people access you get a bonus and the company gets a small tax that mostly goes to lawyers.
Situation normal. Corps run America including all the means of justice. I'm sure they were involuntary forced into an arbitration agreement by having the oil fall on their land and not putting it back into the pipe.
Yes, I'm sure this will be different than every other time Nintendo has shut down competition. This is Nintendo's MO. They are notorious for going after fans and even legitimate resale.
Edit: Just to be clear I'm not against fighting counterfeit products. This just means you'll be paying more to get counterfeit products labeled as "new".
It would be trivial to replace servers, but there's an initial cost investment most restaurants can't afford. The obvious transition is those screens you see popping up everywhere. It's going to be the next step are conveyer belts that deliver the food to your table. Industrial automation already exists for this. Need to send it back open the receptacle click the screen to say what's wrong and your order will come back correct.
They used 40mm and tear gas grenades, shaped charges, and APCs. The police did their job, but the city should be paying for this. The city is the one at fault for not providing appropriate recompense.
Let's see off the top of my head. Sending in an armed drone. Performing a breach of the house with multiple teams and eliminating the threat. Using optics to figure out where he was and then sniping him. All of these were options that didn't require destroying the house. If they planned on destroying the house anyways why not just bring in a tank, attack helicopter, or do it old school and set the house on fire? All of these are viable options for a single suspect in a house if we follow your logic.
My argument is that it was the police firing 40mm rounds blindly into the house, using shaped charges, using battering rams for a single suspect with limited ammunition is completely unreasonable. I've seen police safely breach in more dangerous situations. They could have done a number of things before making the house unliveable and should have been expected to be trained in those options. The town should be paying because their actions caused the house to be unlivable and function as essentially eminent domain of the house. The police did far worse damage and put that more people at risk than this person did though their actions.
Also he attempted to kill police officers. It's unlikely he'll get it of jail any time before retirement.
If you and your family were being held hostage the actions by the police would have put them in far more danger if they didn't know where you were since they were blind firing launchers throughout the house. The police can shut off the power and water, could have flooded the house with tear gas, could have breached with multiple teams. You realize this was more damage than gets caused in a war zone breaching right? The house was so overly damaged it was condemned. That's so in excess of what's required to get a single suspect that they know is in a confined area. They could have sent in a drone with a grenade and caused less damage. This was willful negligence on the part of the police department who didn't use proper judgement in the apprehension of a serious criminal. They literally used military rounds over and over for 19 hours, military vehicles, explosives, grenades. The same city then condemned the house and offered $5000. Destroying the property is going to cost more than that. The city decided to take the house, the city should pay for the house.
