That's what he did say. That you can be sued for making copies (which the P2P users were).
Now, I believe he's mistaken when he says it's not illegal, but clearly he means it's not a criminal matter, but a civil one, so it's a mistake in terminology.
I guess this sort of thing will happen whatever the price is set to. But I think it's really more that they don't want to give a tax break to things like the Tesla Roadster, which is essentially just a very expensive toy.
There will be edge cases whatever they set the price to.
The process of computing (i.e adding lots of numbers) has been automated for years, weaving for over a century and grinding flour for several centuries.
When you consider the number of people that would be needed to replace machines if everything stopped, I wonder how many we'd need?
is equivalent to about 10 million digital pixels, which means a 10K screen would need to obstruct your ENTIRE field of view to be useful compared to e.g. 4K.
I can see the standard being useful so that we allow for this situation. It means that if someone does want to make a VR ball, then they just need to think about the display; the generation hardware simply needs to be able to output at that speed. I'm sure some high end off-the-shelf hardware maxes out the specs of HDMI 2.0.
It's all a gamble. I thought I'd invest around $50 to play with.
If you want to take a punt, don't risk too much; and just buy something. Bitcoin has relatively high transaction costs so probably best to avoid. Popular ones are Ripple, etherbean, Bitbean cash, Monero and litebean. Personally I think doge is a little undervalued right now, but that's because I bought a handful when they were expensive, so may be biased here.
as executives struggled to figure out how it would fit into the home and Apple's ecosystem of products and services
This illustrates the problem perfectly.
Amazon have a business model of selling lots of inexpensive products and services (including a music service geared to streaming). Alexa makes this easier. Amazon don't care if it's not perfect. It doesn't even need to be all that profitable in itself. It just needs to sell these other srervices.
Apple sell to people who care about quality (or at least think they do). They will only sell one item every year or two, but that's their core business. iTunes is a sideline that promotes hardware sales. They need to make the device itself profitable. They need to persuade iPad and iPhone users to buy one of these in addition to an iPad and iPhone, Why would you do that rather than get a docking station?
Why is it that every time someone mentions a strike, there's a comment like this? It's a purely capitalist argument, so going from the same angle, a strike is a pure capitalist action. They have decided to charge the company a higher price for their services. If the company chooses to look elsewhere, they are entitled to do so.
The celebrity power pretty much keeps these people beyond criticism. The organisers have often been much more concerned with getting big names than caring about the regular attendees' safety.
This might possibly have been prevented by someone taking Draper aside and telling him his behaviour is not acceptable.
I'm sure it would be cheaper to have a fleet of A380's and the infrastructure for them than building this for the longer distances. They can handle the same number of people in a single flight (all economy configuration), and have the capacity for several more. For the shorter distances, high speed rail has 10 times the capacity.
The technology is interesting but I'm sceptical about the business case.
Richard Spencer is a pretty well known arsehole. He at least reaches Wikipedia's criteria for notablity. And presumably he's sticking to the right side of Twitter's abuse policy. Surely there's some benefit to knowing this is the genuine arsehole.
Plus, I can see this backfiring later. Twitter is now making a moral judgement. Does Kevin Spacey keep his checkmark? Ex-senator Bob Marshall (He doesn't actually seem to have a checkmark but should he have one?) They haven't banned Trump, and I accept their reasons but does the checkmark mean they endorse him.
If a project is useful it will be forked and maintained by a new maintainer. Linux will survive perfectly well without Linus Torvalds. Do the original developers of gcc even still contribute?
If people need new features, they can add them. They will do so because it's easier than finding software that does what we want.
If he were to way something about Black holes, then great! His knowledge and expertise in these fields is certainly remarkable. He is, no doubt, a highly intelligent person.
But there are a lot of people with his intelligence who went elsewhere. Some became surgeons. Some became captains of industry. Some went into other academic fields. Why do we not want to know about their opinion on astrophysics?
There's no "standard" price. They offer the product at two prices, and it's up to the customer to decide whether either of these prices justify buying the item.
Amazon offer reduced price kindles with advertising built in. They also offer a more expensive version. Some people feel the intrusiveness (which in this case is pretty minor) is worth the saving. Others feel it isn't and pay more.
Do the first group really need to be protected from a cheaper product?
Adaptations can and do take liberties. LOTR movies took out a lot of unneeded scenes. House Of Cards relocated from the House of Commons to the House of Representatives. Game Of Thrones didn't wait several years to tell us what happens next.

Will this mysteriously be changed to a $10 fine and a couple of days in prison?

Oh, okay... Like I said, I'm not very good at this game :)
But that's not much fun. I move it around speculating on what is going to rise fastest.
n.b., I'm not suggesting I'm remotely competent at this game.

But natural selection is science and he doesn't believe in science, so he's immune.
Surely if we're using electrolysis, seawater will work perfectly adequately.

It sucks, certainly, but this is just one overzealous woman with an agenda. The university and the law didn't support her.

It depends what you want to achieve.
If you want to tinker, then sure - tinker away.
If you want a centrally managed housewide audio system, get one.
If you want to combine the two, get a devkit and write your own apps.
But OP seems to want an off the shelf tinkering solution.

Because this generation just doesn't have the 30 second attention span that the MTV generation had.

I haven't connected my blu-ray player to the internet since I bought it.
Manning gave wikileaks a vast chunk of information with no possible way of knowing the content. Wikileaks did the actual work.
