And fortunately he doesn't have a backup, sparing the rest of humanity from the risk of exposure to animated gifs. Now can we get to work on the kittens?
Sure you can. I contacted them because some dispshit was operating an online pharmacy targeting transsexuals in Canada. Aside from the stupidity of paying more than they would cost with a prescription, and the fact that doctors would do the necessary blood tests every 4 months to check for risks, it's illegal to operate an online pharmacy with a.ca domain.
The site was gone within hours, and all the spam posts they had done all over the place were dead.
"Experimental artwork" can be a euphemism for anything. Even images of violence against women will get your blog nuked.
Be careful - that is a pre-birth surrogacy agreement. Surrogacy agreements are valid in some states, all of Canada except Quebec, all of Australia, New Zealand, and of course Russia.
Do you think that Google operates youtube as a charity? They knew about the copyright problems before they bought it, and figured "screw it - we're big enough to get away with it." Sort of how banks are too big to fail.
If they can't get a valid license to redistribute, then they shouldn't do it. Same as the Pirate Bay, MegaUpload, etc.
Every time google redistributes material without having a license from the copyright holder, they are violating copyright. Doesn't matter who uploaded it (they are in the same boat, but not nearly as much as google in terms of the number of infringements).
Register the work (video, book, other creative work) and you are allowed to sue for up to $150,000 per individual infringement. No need to give notice, same as the RIAA doesn't have to give anyone a notice before suing them. The DMCA notice and notice provisions are about removing infringing material - the lawsuits are about money. I'd rather have the money.
Or I can buy it at the local store, and then loan it to anyone I want, or even resell it to recoup some of my investment. And there's no danger that Google changes the deal in the future, and I have to pray they don't change it again.
Google wants people to believe otherwise. This is NOT the same as Google believing otherwise. It's just another way to get more people to buy Chromebooks and Android phones.
Hope you aren't doing any programming. An increase of 50% from 1 million Android developers is 1.5 million. Adding 1 million is a 100% increase. Adding 2 million is a 200% increase. Big difference between 50% and 200%. No wonder the mars probe missed the planet.
It's cover for having someone check your receipt to see if you actually paid for what you have, rather than working in collusion with the cashier or scamming the self check-out.
The israelis consider everyone who isn't ardently pro-israel/anti-palestinian as terrorists. Most people are getting pretty fed up with this shit, especially the crap going on in the west bank which violates international law and may be a crime against humanity and/or genocide.
And all this is supposed to happen instantly? Fuck you back. Can't be done with someone resisting.
I can reduce your 3 simple rules to streamline the process to one - don't do illegal shit. Most people manage to, most of their lives. Then again, the US is the exception, with crazy numbers of people, of all races, with records. You guys just love your thug life. That's why you've got twice as many people with criminal records as the entire population of Canada, more than the population of France, and more than 2-1/2 times the population of the entire continent of Australia. And that's before throwing in those with arrest records.
You have a problem, and you're not fixing it. A good start would be getting rid of the 2nd amendment. Other countries don't need it, and they're a lot safer than the USA.
You're forgetting that it's the cost of running hot and cold lines to the washing machine, and the cost of running 220 and an exhaust vent to the dryer. And now your 224 square foot apartment has appliances taking up almost 10% of the space - more than 10% if you include room to open the doors - which isn't optional. And we still need to throw in the proverbial kitchen sink. Even without a counter (which you kind of need) that's a minimum of 50 square feet.
And let's not forget a toilet and bathtub, and the bathroom sink so you can brush your teeth, shave, whatever, and enough room to get around in the bathroom so you can actually sit to do your business in private. And the hot water tank. That's another 50 square feet.
Lets not forget the space to open the front door - another 6 square feet. And the second door as a fire escape.
So your 220 square feet of living space now becomes less than half that. Throw in a bed and you barely have room to move around - and no closet space. Might as well live in a prison cell, where your food and laundry are done for free.
And those municipal estimated costs - if you believe them, you're really really naive. If you're out in the boonies, throw in a septic tank, drainage field, and maintenance. In the city it's the cost of connecting to the sewer and mains - which is a 5 figure proposition - more if there's rock in the way.
And you'll also need hallways, and hallway ventilation, and if it's more than 3 stories, elevators. That's more square feet you need to distribute among the apartments. And stairs and stairwells.
Taking an existing building and fixing it up runs into problems with what's allowed to be modified on existing buildings. One stupid ass renovated more than 50% of the property without checking, and was forced to tear his house down to the ground, as anything over 50% had to both get a permit to build a new home, and to conform to the latest building codes.
Plus either way you'll need an architect to sign off on the plans. Add 2%-4% for their fees. More if they have to do the actual design.
And there are some people who, by law, you cannot exclude from having a dog. Where's the guide dog going to go? His food and water bowls? Say goodbye to more free space.
What you're proposing is a slum.
Nobody's going to build it for your price, and nobody's going to live in it - they'd be better doubling up and renting a real apartment.
You forgot that as the square footage goes down, the cost of installing washrooms and 220v wiring for the store, heating, etc., doesn't scale down evenly. Nobody is going to build apartments to rent out for $300.00, not even in slums.
You haven't demonstrated anything until you actually do it, and your cost per unit derived from scaling down a 700 ft apartment are also stupid because it costs more than $53,000 to build, so your $25,000 per unit will never happen.. Unless you want to build in some unincorporated area with no roads, no running water, no police or fire, and no insurance, your land is going to cost real money, and real annual taxes, and real expenses.
You left out all those Uber and Lyft drivers - they'll be the first with their backs against the wall. The profits Uber and Lyft are making are going to pay for the autonomous cars that will replace them, and they'll be stuck with car loans on vehicles with way too many miles on them.

His mistakes were many. J'acusse!

What a maroon.
You better hope not. His "art" went Darwin. Let nature take it's course.

And before everyone screams about the safe harbour provisions in the DMCA, 95.6% of the world's population isn't governed bu US law.

As far as I can tell: to an economical change everyone can adapt. Just join the "winning side".
Tell that to the people in food riots in Venezuela.

Very very doubtful. 90% of everything is shit - doesn't matter which country you're in or whether you're talking bagels or programmers.

Actually, there's a surplus because nobody wants to hire/pay for quality.

Anything to pimp his product, right?
His antidote to sitting in front of a screen is sitting in a theater. At least the screen allows some form of interaction.
My antidote - walking the dogs - is cheaper, healthier, and I'm allowed to talk to everyone I meet without having people shushing me.

In Ingrsol or Woodstock you'd have to add health insurance and co-pay coasts. That adds up. Fast.
Its too bad the recipe was lost in the shuffle, the stuff has tasted nasty since the last hand over.
Automaton is great, but if you produce crap, does it really matter?
People act like robots just shoving them in their mouths without really tasting them, so no, it doesn't really matter.

Tell that to all the university grands living at home and working part-time at a restaurant because that's all they can get.
