It's the right way to look at it, because I was challenging the assertion of the AC OP. The music industry argues that every pirated track is a lost sale, while piracy proponents such as the OP like to argue that piracy is the only way and f*** the industry, etc. Like so many things, I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle, for all the reasons you state.
Honest question: hypothetically, if Pirate Bay and all other free file sharing options didn't exist, would you buy music, or would you just not have a music collection at all?
2k isn't the number of people affected. It's the number of people who reported it. I would guess that the number of people who report an outage are a tiny fraction of the number affected. I casually use Instagram. I noticed it was down when I tried to browse it. I didn't report it to anybody because I figured Richmond was already working on rebooting the servers by that time, and my reporting of the issue would only add to noise. It turns out I was correct, and the service did manage to come back up despite my non-reporting of the outage.
That sort of calculation makes a huge assumption as to the design's economic value. Everything from bikes to bars of gold has value only because someone wants it and is willing to give a certain amount of their own wealth in exchange for it relative to how much they want it. In the case of your bike, there is a very good chance that the person willing to give €0 for the bike would have no interest in it at €10. So it is disingenuous to say that the seller is out €10 due to the copy because he would have received €0 whether the copy was made or not.
This is more a defect of naive PDF reader applications, or perhaps of the PDF spec itself. If it is a PDF of a book, then it makes sense for the printed page number to match the convention of books where page 1 is the first page of the first chapter of the main text not inclusive of the TOC, foreword, preface, etc.
To be fair, nobody thought they could start from zero and overtake established smartphone vendors like Palm and Blackberry, either. Not to say they will absolutely be successful in this venture, but I wouldnâ(TM)t dismiss them out of hand, either.
Exactly. The car was a prototype, which by its very nature could be expected to fail in unexpected ways. Thus, you put a human in the car as a backup whose sole job is to remain attentive to react to any sudden failure of the car's self driving capabilities. Clearly, the emergency backup driver was treating the car as a complete functional autonomous vehicle rather than a prototype, so this is kind of on her.
This is exactly right. In response to the epidemic of police shootings of innocent, unarmed, (and often black) civilians, veterans have come out saying they wished police forces would hire more vets because they have training in situational awareness that police forces sorely need.
... Plant base diet is much more adapted for human...
Vitamin B12 says otherwise.
The diet requiring less supplementation (or ideally none at all), i.e. naturally providing all necessary nutrients, would logically be the one most adapted for humans.
Eh, average non-geeks may care about features, but couldn't be bothered with tinkerability. If given two products, one with feature set {a,b} and the other with feature set {a,b,c} AND 'c' is something that most non-geeks find useful and unobtrusive (another point many geeks miss), the second product will be considered the better one and will likely sell more EVEN IF both products are completely locked down. They won't see the point in going through the work of hacking product A to enable some feature, possibly risking irreparably damaging it, when they could just go out and buy product B and get what they are looking for.
The problem is that only geeks care about a product they can tinker with, and the ratio of geeks to the general populous who want their stuff to "just work" (tm) just isn't large enough for a boycott by the aforementioned geeks to affect the bottom line of the device makers in any meaningful way whatsoever.
That link doesn't 'disprove' the concept of peaking/base load grids. That concept is still sound and was in fact how the US grid operated at least as of 2010 when I was last personally involved in the energy industry. It just makes physics sense that it is more efficient to run your big plants at a constant rate 24/7, and bring your smaller plants on and off line as demand fluctuates throughout the day.
What it sounds like your link is arguing is that Germany was playing games by generating more base load than they needed and then exporting the remainder, not that they didn't need base load at all. .
Well, it's the linux kernel with toolchains, applications, etc. provided by several other sources of which the GNU project is but one. Calling the system GNU/Linux presumes that the GNU portions of the system are as critical to the existence of a functioning operating system as the kernel, but pieces like init and X11 are not.
Poker is a very bad application of 'AI'. Poker is not a game of human strength, but rather a game of exploiting human weakness. A poker playing computer can be superior to a human simply by virtue of its programmers choosing not to program it to have any tells when it bluffs. A computer raising when it has a four of a kind is indistinguishable from a computer raising when it has high card 10.
That may all be true, but it seems to me that the answer should be to increase enforcement of deescalation training and accountability among police forces since we have the authority to do so but for some reason haven't yet, rather than turning to a vigilante force that may or may not have deescalation skills but by definition has no means of enforcing those skills among those who currently lack it.

In what way is an android PHONE a Linux PC?
Crowing about android in response to calling out the failure of "Year of Linux on the Desktop" to ever materialize is blatant moving of the goalposts.

Except that fans of the Helvetica documentary will point out every minute difference between it and the knock-off Arial documentary.

It would be good if some other companies got involved in most things that Tesla does.
Reread my comment again more carefully and compare to the AC comment I am replying to, and you might find that you do in fact agree with me.
The only reason Macs are usable to people who dual boot is because you can dual boot.
Your use case isn't the only use case.
