Sure, that argument works if you have a contract (for example at a restaurant), it doesn't really work at typical retail store where they can just say "nope, we're not selling you the stuff".
Legally it has been deemed to mean court judgments (private) and taxes/fines/etc (public).
Sure, the savings is good, but if a truly convenient streaming service came out, I'd pay extra.
I'd want all of the content from the last three weeks available to stream after the fact without DVR and available from the moment it starts broadcasting, and I'd want it to be an app on my phone that could cast 4k to my Chromecast.
YouTube TV is already superior to cable in that it doesn't require a set top box, if they put everything on demand without a DVR, I'd be on it (maybe they do and just don't advertise well).
1 dog, 6 packages/minute (unlikely they could actually do one in 10 seconds)). 8 hours sniffing/day (no idea how many they actually can work, but between food, and walks, and what not, seems reasonable)
that's 2800/dog/day
UPS sends 15.8 million packages/day on average.
So that's 5600 drug dogs (though they'd need 50% more in the winter).
So, 4000 for the dog, 1000 for the training stuff, 2500 for food and vet over it's life, for 5 productive years
1500/year * 5000 is 7.5 million/year.
Of course, 5200 handlers is likely another 150 million or so.
And to cover Christmas we're at 50% more.
That's a lot of money, ignoring the fact that a 10 second per package bottle neck would make shipping that many packages practically impossible.
I know not all wealth is stock, but a lot of it is. The top 10% of the population hold 76% of the wealth.
The skew away from stock for the richest would have to be extreme for the middle class to hold 50% of the stock.
The 50th=90th percentile hold 23% of the wealth, so they'd have to be holding 3x as much in stock relative to the top 10% to be holding 50% of the stock.
I don't want to be able to search for things based on my photos (like lens).
I want to be able to find duplicates of the same image in my account.
Example: My moto migrate copied all photos from phone A to phone B but updated the created date.
It then puts them into my google photos account, all of them at that day, but also they exist when I took them. I then smashed that phone's screen and the same thing happened, but on a different date.
I'd like to be able to go into a dedupe mode, and go through and keep only the oldest full size copy for each image.
The desktop app made this really easy. The picassa website lacked it, and when it switched to photos it's still lacking.
For example, I can barely use my Google Voice number.
It migrated to hangouts, but hangouts seems to be a dead app that crashes on my phones now (I get a notification, but can't use it on two phones).
Is there still Google Voice? is it part of Hangouts? Was it wrapped into Google+ and that's why it died?
I really can't tell, and don't have the patience to figure out how since I mostly use it through my email at work anyway.
They also really need to add the find same photo from Picassa desktop app to the photos website. It's terribly annoying to know they have the tech from image search and don't let me use it.
If something increases a type of cancer by 50%, it's still pretty much impossible to prove with a preponderance of the evidence that any given case is caused by it.
Using scientific proof of harm to a single person as the mechanism for punishment fails to cause self regulation.
I was responding to the notion that "copyrighters will just make their own encyclopedia" will make their own encyclopedia and the implication that it will be better because "Wikipedia will still make you an unperson for the crime of being 'not notable'."
Wikipedia is far broader than any "copyrighter" encyclopedia and has a far lower bar for "notability".
The bigger problem (as far as keeping people and corporations on best behavior) is that something can kill thousands, but still be almost impossible to prove.
If round up increased one's risk of cancer by 50%, it'd still be nearly impossible to prove with a preponderance of the evidence that any given case of cancer was caused by it (in fact, even if it was responsible for 30% of all cancer, it most likely wouldn't be responsible for any given case).
It's hard to prove a specific case of cancer was caused by anything since it can kind of happen anyway.
Exactly, usually the interest is far better than a payday loan, but they have the collateral.
A payday loan (in my area) costs $75.00 for $500.00 0 interest loan with a 2 week payback. They take a bank account for the deposit and pull the $75.00 to renew your loan if you don't pay it back in 2 weeks. Effectively you're paying $1950/year in fees for a $500 until you pay the principal.
With a pawn shop you use property as collateral, and typically get a loan amounting to 25%-50% of your collateral's thrift/used goods value (it depends on how quickly the shop thinks they'll be able to sell it if you default), often there's some type of storage fee too. The interest amounts to 10%/month and if you pay back your loan + storage fees in 3 months you get your things back.
Plug in hybrids are a long term loser though. There's two entire systems to maintain.
I am excited about them, and will likely buy a used fusion, volt, or Civic plug in for my next car, but in the long term it's a losing tech, and Toyota's moves into that market are pretty sad.
The definition is not arbitrary, the number 100km (or 62 miles and change) is pretty arbitrary though, and I suspect as useful as 50 miles (used by the US).
Also, doesn't the material used have a lot of an effect on your definition with material science advancements pushing the number up?
You mean the atmosphere doesn't end at exactly 100 Kilometers, I'm shocked!
Or more likely it's obvious that an arbitrary number had to be picked because it's a gradient and 100km was a pretty good number for the purpose of picking an arbitrary number where stuff was thin enough to be outer space.

What was Facebook's business model at early VC stages?
What about Google's?
Sometimes it makes sense to buy market share and hope the business model arrives.
VC investing is about huge returns sometimes making up for the majority of total losses. It's not normal investing.
Note: not the type I'd ever do, but they do seem to make money.
I'm not surprised.
Buying in bulk requires space, and a car.
What about children getting their money from a side gig?
Sure I guess they could file their taxes, but that's not usually how a side gig works.
My bank refused to give me a non ATM card until I was 18.
Also, free accounts have been inching up their minimum balances since they've started consolidating.

I'd pay extra even for streaming over cable.

I was replying to:
t has been working for another major OS with the number ten in its name for 19 years now.
Is your argument that OS X has been smoothly upgrading over that entire time?
It looks like the oldest version of OS X supported (Sierra) won't run on hardware from before 2009.
The current version on hardware before 2012.
It's about equivalent to Windows and not one smooth incremental update over time just because they didn't increment the fist number.
On the software compatability side it's much worse.
Has it?
There's been a few comparability breaking hardware changes that make me highly skeptical you could have continually updated a system that long.
Off the top of my head G5 -> x86 -> "x86-64
I wouldn't be shocked if there were some motherboard firmware changes required for the newest version since the first 64 bit x86 hardware too.
That's what I was wondering too.
I didn't read the article though, if they take ownership, but it's dual licensed open also I think that's still OK.
They can take ownership and offer GPL too, leaving themselves as the only people allowed to use the new property closed and things remain open source.
But the way things are written, I suspect it's closer to a shared source situation.
let's see.

Thanks, I was unaware of that.
It worked so well in hangouts for so long I thought they pushed me over from a death of voice.
For example, I can barely use my Google Voice number.
It migrated to hangouts, but hangouts seems to be a dead app that crashes on my phones now (I get a notification, but can't use it on two phones).

Yes, that's entirely my point.

Are you implying the notability standard is a higher bar on copyright encyclopedias that Wikipedia?

And you can't touch the principal unless you can pay the whole $500.
So you can't even chip away at the loan.
Exactly, usually the interest is far better than a payday loan, but they have the collateral.

The interest amounts to 10%/month and if you pay back your loan + storage fees in 3 months you get your things back.
And apparently something has been uploaded in the last 3 years.
I'm highly skeptical of that though.

That seems way more plausible than what I assume "inertial mass reduction device" is.
