Sounds a bit like those self-entitled "influencers" who figure they should get a free meal at the restaurant because if they decide to blog about it, it'll be worth bajillions...
It's a distinction without a difference. Somebody was going to be paying for the infrastructure Amazon needed to maintain an HQ in New York, If not Amazon, then everyone else.
Here's a thought experiment for you: New law, groceries and health care are now free to all comers. It's not like anyone is losing any money on the deal, they're just not making people pay anymore.
I love how the SV guys try to slip in a permission slip to violate privacy and be careless with our data. Perhaps THAT is why things fall behind. We don't have mobile payments because the banks are too busy fighting over whose fee will reign supreme.
It's all a totalitarian play, the only difference is who gets to be the God Emperor.
They won't listen in the U.S. either. You won't be disappeared, but you will be pepper sprayed.
But the point is if you are an American living in the U.S., a Chinese government back door and spying is less dangerous to you than a U.S. government back door and spying.
And how long to get that runner on the surface of Mars with enough oxygen, food, and water and a good enough guarantee of a round trip to convince him to do it?
HAH! NON-GOVERMENT engineering has a hard time making a refrigerator that doesn't see anything harsher than than a kids drawing last for even 10 years without a service call.
But with each and every word "legally" meaning something other than what a linguist would say it means, much less what a common native speaker would think, is it at all reasonable to claim that there was a meeting of minds, or even a good faith effort to create one?
There is a good distinction. If the event happening or not is of no significant consequence but for the money that transacta, it's gambling. If it has significant consequence and the money from the transaction reduces of eliminates the financial consequence, it's insurance.
More succinct rule of thumb, if you can come out ahead, it's gambling. If you can at best not take a financial loss, it's insurance.
What? Was he supposed to file a complaint through the FBI website.....while his family was being threatened....and wait for a response?
To be fair, that's what the rest of us are supposed to do.
I personally don't blame him personally. I don't think most people here do. I think they blame the system that actually responded to that by pulling out all the stops but wants the rest of us to file a complaint through the website and wait for a response.
I do blame Congress and the FCC as well for letting the telecomms make it so easy to spoof caller ID. It might be a lot harder to scam people claiming to be Publisher's Clearinghouse if the caller ID reads Dumnass McCheeterson.
I think the problem people have is that there are thousands of scammers calling hundreds of thousands of people with impunity. This includes scammers claiming to be representing the IRS and various At tourneys General and sometimes issuing threats. We'd like to see some action taken against them as well, not just the one who calls someone with clout by accident. If the big cheeses in D.C. get all the stops pulled out for them (and only them), they're unlikely to understand the plight of those who get "leave a message and someone will call you back never".
We already knew the dose and effectiveness. Doctors read the same paper as the pharmaceutical company). Considering that Niacin (vitimine B3) has been takes safely as an over the counter for longer than the FDA has existed, I can see no justification for trying to make it a prescription drug at 20 times the price. You've probably taken it yourself, possibly in the form of a Flintstone's chewable.
Colchicine's effectiveness and dosing has been known since George Washingtin's time. However, it really does need a doctor's supervision, so it is (was) a prescription generic drug.
In contrast to ethylene glycol, a potent cause of acute toxicity in humans, propylene glycol is a “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) additive for foods and medications. Propylene glycol rarely causes toxic effects, and then only under very unusual circumstances.
How much of the passenger must be on the final leg of the flight? Would it be OK if he just puts a prosthetic toe on the seat cushion? Perhaps a vial of blood? (or depending on how he felt about the first flight, a urine sample).

Allstate is regularly on the hook for the costs of auto repair. The right to repair would lower those costs significantly.
The Feds don't pay teacher salaries.

Now find the damned umbrella.
They would be writing 3 Billion in checks, to cover waste removal, sewage, road improvements, etc etc etc.

The converse is also true.

And how much do you suppose that might cost?
HAH! NON-GOVERMENT engineering has a hard time making a refrigerator that doesn't see anything harsher than than a kids drawing last for even 10 years without a service call.
Not even that much. I've heard from lawyers that TOS and EULAs are a tough read for them too.

Uncured != nitrite free.

As a matter of fact, I do. You're supposed to sweat those, not fry them.
The question is, do YOU?
In that case, it's a marketing scam and shouldn't be allowed to be marketed as nitrite free.
Since hot dogs and sausages provide their own fat, grilling will also form nitrosamines. Same deal in a skillet (very common for both).
Celery, not so much.
But bacon is by far the most popular cured meat...
Because celery is rarely fried in fat so the nitrites don't form nitrosamines?

I think you've lost the thread here somewhere. Go read YOUR analogy again.
We don't pay the bouncer out of out taxes.
