After digging in his heels repeatedly on Friday against a tidal wave of opposition, Ammon found a "how to apologize" book and banged out an apology, while still devoting paragraphs to defending his mistake and selling his origin myth. Even his well researched apologize reeks of narcissism not respect.

"we" can stream the music to each other. But not on Spotify.

Sex crime wasn't the half of it. He went to jail for racketeering using his music to fund violent crime, and he's only free to whine publicly about music now because he weaseled out of prison on medical release due to the pandemic. Society owes him nothing.

Another song feelS s quote relevant in light of this comment thread: "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you".

A racketeering rapist in a different country being delatformed isn't relevant to the President of Poland blocking criticism of his misbehavior from appearing in the media.

They have editorial independence. At most they have financial dependence.

And Trump's attack on VOA is failing because VOA is protected from him by law.

This person directly funded a violent criminal gang with his music revenues. Not just having sex on the side.

What gives Ireland the right to preempt every other European country in GDPR enforcement? That's a horrific conflict of interest.

> can be difficult to become a member of a club if you didn't get in one at the right time.

That applies to all repeated social events, doesn't it?

Unless it is something that has an annual "new class", but that's also a "right time".

Is that shared?

Also: why people to to college instead of just the library.

You forgot where you were going:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Rear Window wasn't about how great it was to live in that apartment. It was about someone stuck in an apartment escaping by watching other people's apartments.

There may be other solutions. What if instead of spending an hour commuting to the therapist, you spend half an hour ritually preparing your room for therapy? Hanging a curtain, switchin the lighting color, etc. What if you had a VR-CAVE-like projection system and you downloaded a "wallpaper" from your therapist for use in your session?

That's SNI for the article, but not Significant New Discussion in the comments.

I always wondered though, why not let these flamebait discussion topics stay up as a Honeypot to keep the other threads cleaner?

Take care not to conflate the "market" which applies when it benefits me over everyone else, with "fairness" which applies whenever it benefits me over everyone else.

Can't eat money.

It's just as true to say that depositors create money or creditors create money. Perhaps more true to say that the FDIC creates money by insuring deposits.

The whole system creates money. And it's not some weird sort of stealing (unless a creditor defaults, of course), it's a lubricant and catalyst of economy, and why I don't have to maintain a herd of cows just for use in trading my computer software for your pickles. Money (currency) is only useful when it moves, so creating it is good for people.

Anyone can create money. If I write "IOU a chicken, redeemable by whoever holds this paper" on a sheet of paper, I just created money (but not US legal tender fiat currency)

Is that happening? USAmericans can't afford what they consume; the economics only add up when most the work is imported from subsistence workers and slaves.

(I almost said ”offshored" but Mexico and South America)

JWZ is a lot of things, but he's never claimed to be a nice person.

You've got it backwards.

I thought Google banned sideloading unapproved extensions on Windows and Mac.

Wouldn't a better solution be a pop-up that says "your browser has bad plug-ins. May I uninstall them for you?"

Step 3 doesn't happen usually. If it did, no one would be upset.

User friendly features are only incentivized in a competitive environment.

Until Firefox or Edge catches up in both performance and implementation compatibility to make Chrome-first sites work, extension support isn't incentivized

Is there a workaround for users? Old builds of Chromium?

Electricity is payment deferred during the pandemic.

How is that "not a physics engine"?

Game rules aren't copyrightable. The visuals are a copy but obviously fair use, and it's obviously trademark use, and Nvidia probably has a marketing partnership with NAMCO for this

OTOH if you told a current AI a ghost story it wouldn't be able to do anything useful with that info a pacman context.
