Recall that the Republican Party got its start as abolitionist, a civil rights champion. And so history is forgotten and memory twisted. 'Middle class white liberals' seem to have a particular proclivity for that.
History is not the present. You can use some sort of twisted No True Scotsman argument for believing the party is still the same (Even though all those earlier members are dead), but it is not accurate.
Everyone is a photographer these days with cameras in their phones and instagram/snapchat filters. No one is hiring photographers.
Everyone is a terrible photographer these days. It's only long after the moment is gone do you find out that you don't have any good photos. Everyone is an everything these days, but we still need the professional equivalent to get real work done.
It's because it's relatively cheap and uncomplicated as opposed to dealing with ASCAP/BMI/etc - just a flat $29 or so per month includes not just the music but also the public performance licensing.
Extending free speech to publicly accessible places on the internet like it is in the real world would just about do it.
There is the same amount of free speech in the real world. The person watching porn at Starbucks is going to be asked to leave or forcibly removed for trespassing if they don't comply.
One, if the hardware maker is not the OS maker, they can only provide hooks and leave it up to the OS. Two, I don't want all my storage unmounting every time I walk away from my desk.
The only reason that star please is relied on so heavily is that it's a safer bet than actually waiting a good movie. If they were willing to take a gamble on movies that aren't major sequels or franchises and have new or interesting plots, they wouldn't need to rely on name recognition.
They have some great movies. I haven't seen the much-mentioned Train to Busan yet, but Pandora is an incredibly tense movie and I loved every minute of it. Technically, I think Snowpiercer is one of theirs even though it is in English and has American/British actors.
I watch a ton of global content on Netflix. I figured it was there as a cheap value-add for them because of their global content production. I would have never guessed it was as popular to others as it is with me.
And yeah, most of the world has better content these days, even while plenty of countries import our stuff anyway. US media companies are constantly shelving even mildly international content - including NBC's Welcome to Sweden and CTV's Saving Hope (that started as a joint production with a US studio). So that leads me to expect the same lukewarm reception to Netflix global content.
Still probably an unintended consequence of the intent of the law. The law should be amended or rewritten. For better or worse, companies are already considered people in a lot of cases (Super PACS are a notable exception).
The market is full of these holes - little needs that no one is taking care of. If no one else has found a novel process for doing it "on a computer" then he has a valuable, patentable method - even if it uses existing technology. Instead of criticizing his patent, just get out there and go get your own if it's that easy.
Yes, this is the snailmail equipment equivalent of the tracking pixel for email. But the patent is on the whole process, including the automation of delivering the status of each address to the original sender and attempting to provide an updated address. It's novel and non-obvious, but it's not hard. It doesn't have to be hard for no one else to ever think of it before - patents protect that inspiration.

Phil Collins is the overhead music voice. Not just the one song - a whole catalog, always in retail and restaurants. More than anyone else, I'm sure.
It's because it's relatively cheap and uncomplicated as opposed to dealing with ASCAP/BMI/etc - just a flat $29 or so per month includes not just the music but also the public performance licensing.
BMI/ASCAP/SESAC would be to differ. Per-play royalties. They might save money by negotiating a flat per-month, but it's going to be a big number.
The licensing costs are the same whether they are played in a loop or pseudorandom order each time through.

Because nobody's buying it. Economies of scale don't kick in until you have scale. And not just a bunch of R&D costs.
It was said in a water closet.

The whole message would fit in one packet. You could retransmit multiple times, but I doubt you'd have room for FEC.
None of them were born in the US. You sort of missed the joke there.
So, violating laws about Spam doesn't make you a spammer?

It's surprising that it's being watched in such large numbers. Not that it exists.
That they produce a lot of content natively in all these countries and automatically own the global distribution rights.
El Internado is from Spain and it's really good. Although it's a very long-form show and I've only had time for one episode so far.
It's not an issue. What makes you think that's the claim? It's a bit of a surprise to most people, and that's why it's news.
A bit slimy, though.
Or the bigger period of any Windows reinstall after July. Unless older updates will remain signed with SHA1, which only makes sense.
