Obvious Man is obvious. No, I don't think that. Nor do I seem to think that. And nothing I wrote was even the least bit suggestive that I think advertisers are going to "ignore the rest."
I don't think curated means what you think it means.
This just sounds – to me – like targeted ads.
And for really targeted ads, use that camera to look at my license/number plate, and show me a really targeted ad. Maybe you could do what google does and show me more ads for things that I shopped for and already bought last week. Because I really need a second kitchen stand mixer. While I'm driving on the highway.
You've been stuck in Customs? For 30+ minutes? I usually walk through the "Nothing to Declare" side. Which usually takes about 10 seconds.
Now Passport Control is another thing entirely. Passport Control and Customs are two very different things. I can totally see being quizzed for lengthy periods of time at Passport Control. (Even if it's never happened to me.)
My daily drivers are going on 17 years old, and one has almost 200K miles. But they won't last forever and I will have to replace them.
In the mean time I carry a phone that knows everywhere I go. (At least I could turn it off when I'm not using it – if I was paranoid. And yes thanks, I know that just because I'm not paranoid it doesn't mean "they" aren't out to get me.)
I'm willing to accept that it probably can't be copyrighted.
That doesn't mean you can't put a license on it. And there are plenty of licenses to choose from. One must be pretty close to suitable.

And as an Apple shareholder – indirectly through mutual funds in my 401k – I do object to sweetheart deals for selected individuals that rob me and other shareholders of the profits from our investments in the companies that do this..
California is actually on the same pacific plate as hawaii, not on the nothern american plate as the rest of the continental USA (hance the san andreas fault)
etc.
The San Andreas fault runs up the west side of California. The part of California that's west of the fault is rather small. Nearly all of California is on the North American plate.
Tesla/Musk claim Moran was paid to join Tesla to agitate for unionizing.
So he joined four years ago, and was silent for four years.
And only after four years of silence, four years of mandatory overtime, etc., etc., he starts to speak out.
At which point he's suddenly a shill for the UAW?. Dunno, whether he is or isn't a shill, that doesn't make it magically wrong, per se, to argue for a union.
(And perhaps it need not be the UAW, but if not them, then who?)
Unfortunately, these jobs pay about like Walmart employee.
Jobs are good, but these trends in employment resonate on target with those who say we are the first generation in a long time who will not leave a better life for our children.
What do you expect after 8 years of trying to "remake our economy"...
trying? No credit for rebuilding after the greatest collapse since the collapse in 1929? No credit for the stock market not just recovering, but at record highs? No credit for unemployment falling to under 5% (Yes, we all know that's funny counting, but when unemployment was over 10% in 2008, that was funny counting then too.)
I don't know how your 401K is doing, but mine has grown 10% per year, on average, over the last eight years. That's exclusive of what I've added over the last eight years.
... in ways that make close-minded, sheltered, WHITE suburban "progressives" happy?
versus the close-minded, sheltered white suburban conservatives? Frankly you don't win points by being patronizing.
"Drive for $15"? So what if it makes minority workers with no skills
That's your code word for blacks and hispanics, yes?
because they come out of failed schools
whose fault is that?
too expensive to compete in the labor market, thus locking them into a cycle of poverty?
so your solution is to keep them in poverty anyway. So they can stay on SNAP at the rest of our expense? indefinitely.
And BTW, $15/hour seems to work just fine in, e.g., Europe and Australia. Somehow they can still sell a Whopper combo for $5 while paying the worker bees a decent wage that doesn't require them to also be on food assistance in order to survive.
It makes sheltered white suburban "progressives" feel good about themselves.
again, not winning points. I'm pretty sure I'm not sheltered. I feel good about doing good things. Some would label them Christian things. You probably call yourself a Christian. If you do, I'd probably label you a hypocrite.
"War on coal"? So what if it regressively makes electricity more expensive and disproportionately hurting the poor, it makes sheltered white suburban "progressives" feel good about themselves.
I'm sensing a theme. Did "progressives" abuse you as a child or something? Back on topic. Yeah, keep your head buried in the sand. Ignore the science. Let's keep burning coal – because it's cheap, and it'll keep a few thousand coal miners in West Virginia employed. Keeping them employed like this probably will end up being the most expensive welfare ever when the climate really starts to warm up. But sure, you won, we're get over it. Well, until we win again. Will you get over it like you told us to?
"Ban fracking!" So what if it regressively makes energy, food, and everything else more expensive and limits job growth for the growing US population, it makes sheltered white suburban "progressives" feel good about themselves.
You have a real jones going on for sheltered white suburban progressives, don't you? I'm beginning to think that you're either Kellyann Conway or Steve Bannon.
You need to lay off the Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart, and Faux News for awhile. You'd be surprised how good it feels once you're not being brainwashed with that drivel. You'll be amazed at how good you feel when you start thinking for yourself again.
But back to the topic at hand: So instead you propose we should keep energy, food, and everything else artificially less expensive while simultaneously destroying the environment because you don't believe the science.
Yeah it's real tough to take you seriously. Have a nice day Kellyann.
I'm waiting for my EXPRESSObin boards. They're supposed to be fully compliant to all the uBoot and device tree standards and will run Fedora out of the box. I have a Pine64 and Geekbox, and both will only run custom Ubuntu because they don't have devicetree.
It might be good if you read the parent post. He does not mention breaking encryption or copy protection. He says if the disc becomes unplayable he downloads a copy from the Internet.
Wow, where do you live that a admission for two and popcorn costs $60? Around here I can do that for $30-35, sometimes a bit more and less if we go to a matinee. Adding a couple of beers adds antother $10-12. (Here = big city on the east coast USA.)
... My wife purchases way more DVDs and Blu-ray discs than I want her to.....
I am not willing to pay for the same content over, and over and over again. I am especially unwilling to continue to pay for content due to wear and tear. For example, my wife has watched Friends and Sex in the City so many times that some of the discs skip or are even completely unwatchable. I have zero qualms with pulling down a torrent of those shows and storing them on the NAS so that she can watch them.
IANAL, but as I understand it, this is not piracy and you're completely in the clear doing this. (As long as you can show the original discs that you bought, should it ever come to that.)

I think you're confused. It's brits who like to sue. E.g. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvs...
That's just one example. You can google and find lots of other examples..
For another example of Brits "doing first and asking questions later" see Brexit.

True, I should have written usually not employees. Al Gore is not an Apple employee.

EXPRESSObin on kickstarter
I'm waiting for my EXPRESSObin boards. They're supposed to be fully compliant to all the uBoot and device tree standards and will run Fedora out of the box. I have a Pine64 and Geekbox, and both will only run custom Ubuntu because they don't have devicetree.
Oh, I know. I'm a FreeBSD user myself. Since 386BSD 0.1.
But that isn't what I was asking about.
It might be good if you read the parent post. He does not mention breaking encryption or copy protection. He says if the disc becomes unplayable he downloads a copy from the Internet.
Oracle only ships ZFS on Solaris. Until Ubuntu added it (in Xenial was it?) you had to get it from a third party if you wanted it for Linux.
Does this mean Oracle will add it to Oracle Linux and support it?

Speaking of old Disney movies, how about "Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" ? (a.k.a. "Alias Dr. Syn" or something like that.)
AT&T is turning iPhones into iPods at the push of a button.
Unless maybe Google were to tell us it's harder. I'm sure they have top men working on it right now.
Who?
TOP. MEN.
Well, yeah. That's pretty much exactly what I said. The media owners can't find it without Google/Youtube's help.
