The US justice system seems very odd to this European. Then I realize that if the EU project ever were to reach its presumed goals (by some), we'd probably end up with something pretty similar in terms of "oddness complexity".

At the moment I'm back to listening to my 80s/90s/00s CDs (but ripped to FLAC).
Which one is it?
1) Spotify isn't paying copyright holders enough.
2) The free Spotify version is too limited.

Jake (Andy Samberg) and Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) form an unlikely alliance with Jack Danger (Ed Helms), a nerdy lead investigator at the United States Postal Inspection Service, as they embark on a mission to crack the case to bring down a drug dealer.
When I tried out the 4k Netflix option in early 2023 I found myself wanting an option to downgrade to their 1080p encoding for a few of the shows I was watching.
I was told Netflix hired really smart people for like 300-500k/year for the express purpose of avoiding stupid shit like this.
Web pages don't really work without in-page/dynamic javascript any longer.
On the other hand it's now cheaper than ever to just have a full-blown webkit instance in the cloud and just sync/stream the dom tree paints to the client. A bunch of products do that, I think.
Back then we had a moat because
a) Opera's Presto used so much less memory than Webkit - after having gone through so many painful memory optimization efforts, particularly with Japanese mobile browser deliveries, but also with Symbian.
b) We figured out a way of making 90% of the web javascript work be keeping "tabs" around on the server for a few minutes and then just replaying carefully selected input events and capturing the output, with some kinda clever heuristics. That combined with the low memory usage did it.
Webkit used like 10x more memory per tab/window back then, iirc. And RAM was expensive.
So maybe?
1. Hmm, I guess I can use this to hide posts that I would just get really angry about and just want to get out of my sight. I suppose it must be a mental health feature, the Californians are really into that that these days.
2. Hmm, I guess I can use this to hide uninteresting stuff and then also get new, potentially interesting stuff on the front page.
Presumably people smarter than myself went to #2 immediately...
Uh, try 1.8x longer today than in the 1990s.

Boosters landing:
And then fall back to interpreting when more expertise is needed - with the added benefit of having a baseline understanding of the topics discussed.
This looks interesting.
I thought helicopters were so expensive because every part had to work and last, or else.
Note that the complaint appears to have been filed on behalf of Mazda North American Operations.

Family reunion with 30-40 people? - Yes, if you don't disturb anyone's home or the land.
Can you stay in one place for a week? - Sure.
Fishing? Hunting? - generally no, unless you get a permit. Fishing permits are easy to get. Fishing recreationally in the ocean does not require a permit.
