If you're streaming from Verizon's internal network, you can argue that it's not Internet at all. The last mile is being used for Internet AND a private network - just like cable companies that use SDV over the same wire. Especially if that specific Verizon server doesn't serve public-facing users. That was the point. It wouldn't even be zero-rating - it would just be a separate service.
Everything you're saying isn't relevant to what I was getting at.
They're probably just doing this to get the attention of the FTC so that Apple's not the bad guy here. They'd rather get an official ruling that it's illegal than risk having to refund customers to keep them happy. Gambling is technically illegal in the entire US except for charity and state governments and a few other exceptions (like Nevada and Atlantic City).
If people are spending real money on these, it stands to reason they could be classified as such. Regardless of whether you agree with the laws on the books, they are there.
Wait until everyone buys their Echo for Christmas - and then tell them they can't use it with their music post-purchase. I think that's called bait and switch.
Then you can sell them on your music subscription.
You know how printing red works, right? It prints a pigment or dye that reflects red light. Your printer does not print red light wavelength radio waves.
This is the same thing, except the ink is reflective in the near infrared range.
If it were the employee choosing badly, sure. It's not. They set their systems to defy good sense and that system tells the employee to use worse packaging. The employee can't even override that without great effort.
If they weren't a relatively high-margin business, they wouldn't be wasting my shipping subscription dollars producing original video content I never asked for.
By your own admission you do pay for it. It's bundled with your garbage, and the cost didn't go up because the company can recoup the extra pickup costs from the materials they get to recycle.
If the plane's cargo hold is full, but with all lightweight stuff, then they're wasting empty space inside the boxes that could be used for more packages. Yes, lighter planes use less fuel, but not as much as saving an entire trip.
The problem is that Amazon's not just trying to ship the items well. They're trying to cut corners to the absolute cheapest possible.
Like ordering vitamins that come in a glass bottle to see them come broken in a padded mailer. They knew it would do fine in a corner crush resistant box with a little padding. But they wanted to see if they could save money over returns/replacements by cutting costs to the absolute minimum.
If it takes 6 days to get your item with your paid 2-Day shipping subscription because it had to be shipped twice, you are being cheated. At least when the reason it has to be shipped twice is Amazon using you as a guinea pig. They could just as well ship things to themselves across the country and test out that way.
An ad blocker? Sponsored content and regular content come from the same servers in the same data feed on Facebook. It would take a very sophisticated algorithm to pick out ads to hide.
When it comes to libel, perhaps sites should be required to take down libellous material when notified, they needn't be held accountable for its first original posting? In other words, that something libellous is posted doesn't make the site responsible right there. But if they are properly notified through proper channels and then refuse to take it down after a reasonable number of days, only then can they be held liable?
Only if you don't believe in the basic protections of your rights like being innocent until proven guilty. That would be like a DMCA takedown notice except with no recourse for the person whose free speech is being violated.

High Sierra breaks compatibility with a lot of good software. Like all Pre-X versions of Final Cut Pro.
If aiming a gun at someone wasn't a felony, maybe?

Except 1709 was released in late October. It sets in stone their failures forever.
don't have to keep active tabs on Ubunutu to know that 17.10 is the most recent release, because it is 2017 and past October.
Somehow I never realized this...

That depends on if the last mile is saturated. If your link is capable of more than your "up to" bandwidth rating, then that may not happen.
That only happens if the plane isn't full of very light, mostly empty boxes. Amazon may have shifted that statistic a bit.
I prefer to live in a world where people don't blame third parties for their own actions.
You could technically run Plex on a VPS, but you would be better served with something like MPD for music only.
The fact that they plow their profits back into video production and other projects has nothing to do with their margins.
Yes, it does. Those aren't profits that are being put into video production. It's extra expenses that they didn't need subtracting from their margin.
You're looking at the retail price margin only. What about the actually shipping subscription service margins?

It's just fine if it's used for your user ID (which is part of authentication).

If you run a site, and a user posts something, and you receive a DMCA takedown request, you are not legally required to take that thing down.
To maintain your safe harbor, you must. If the user then still claims its not a violation, you can repost it and still maintain safe harbor.
In the case of this libel idea, it would need the same protection.

but that Facebook serves employment ads to younger people only.
The employer clicked the buttons to select that. I still think the employer deserves all the blame.

If only there was a place you could go to buy goods at your convenience precisely when needed, avoiding the shipping step
For the stuff I typically buy there? Used to be in a mail-order catalog before that. Closest retail store with those items is 100+ miles away.

Really? I present as evidence Ajit Pai.
