I have a friend move to Dallas back in 1993 or 1994 to build diesel electric school buses. I lost track of him so I don't know how it turned out but I don't see him on the Fortune 500 so I assume it didn't work out.
I subscribe to Apple Music which isn't a "purchase" but closer to rental. I find it is real fun to walk through old collections of 60s and 70s groups. But if and when I buy something, I buy a CD, DVD, blu ray. I have purchased a very few items via download but there are (still) all sorts of fears and problems. You get the idea that the purchase is "in the cloud" and will be there forever but that's not true for a number of reasons. There are also issues with transfer of ownership (as far as I know) and generally there are problems with loaning folks your copy of something.
Changing topics slightly but if you look at the pollen / allergy state (not forecast) from 5 sites for your city you will get 5 entirely different reports... and that is for "current conditions"... "mold" especially seem to be just a random number they generate. WTF?

My perspective is the reason we have big servers like YouTube and very few actual publishers is because of the asymmetric down and up speeds. Imagine if you had 25mbps up links? I think many more people were start to publish out of their own homes and offices than do presently. After all... that is why we upload to Youtube, Facebook, etc.
We have lots of problems to solve but right now, it seems the biggest problem are the huge monopolies that dictate internet content and policy. The internet needs equal peers which implies greater uplink speeds.
I would like to know where autonomous cars can drive. Can they handle construction zones? Can they even recognize stop lights? Can they drive down a country dirt road?
The only examples I've seen of them driving down straight freeways. I've not seen them negotiate any traffic situations at all.
So... before you compare accident rates, those questions need to be answered.
I'm still very skeptical that they can handle anything but the most trivial of driving situations. Perhaps I'm wrong. If anyone knows for sure and can point to maybe a YouTube or something, I'd like to see.
I think we could figure out a way to state that a piece of data that describes a person (can be tied back to an individual) is the property of that person. And each piece of data is worth a minimum of $1. This is property -- not copyright so there is no "fair use".
The one exception would be public records such as titles, etc. The authorized body would be allowed to store that data with no payment to the owner. e.g. the county court house can record the deeds, mortgage, etc about your house. But they can not give it away.
Possession of data that has not been paid for is treated the same as possession of stolen property.
Aggregate data that can be tied back to a person is still considered personal data even if each single piece of data can not be tied back to a particular person.
"tied back" is if it is possible for a piece of data to be deduced to be about a particular individual. The argument of "possible" would be done by the court system.
Personal data would be treated much like a material item when it comes to such things are guardianship, etc.
The ownership would start at conception and would survive death.
This is more or less off the cuff. The point is that if personal data was taken to be the same as personal property and viewed in that light, with laws set so each piece of personal data has a minimum value, then the way it is handled would suddenly change completely.
Another thing I would add is some way to make it that unnamed third parties can never receive any personal data. I don't want to allow something like a license where part of the license is for me to "willingly" give the other party permission to sell or distribute my personal data to third parties.
Anyhow, the point here is to not figure out all the precise language but I'd like to see people start thinking along those lines -- that the data about me is my personal property. There are a lot of details to work out.
I doubt you are actually interested but I have a half hour to spend so I'll spend it here.
As far as strict "illegal", notice it refers to "fuck over your fellow citizens". "greed" is in a phrase "with". The analogy is "vandalize the car with your bat" -- the bat is not illegal (yet).
Perhaps I could have been a bit more pedantic in my jot but what's the fun in that?
On the topic of "greed" as a "crime", you don't need to be a lawyer, just in touch with your Self and the reality around you. Yes, many people will point and laugh and say that "no good deed goes unpunished" but generally for the most part, reality favors those who are not greedy and view the world as one being filled amply instead of scarcely. (Unfortunately, I too often fall into the latter.)
The laws that popped into your mind are the laws of the state. But, as many right wing "radicals" will try to explain, there are other laws as well. But lets pause here for a moment and ask -- what is a law (of the state)?
A law is some text written down that says if you do BLAH and get caught, prosecuted, and convicted, some form of "punishment" (or consequences) will be applied by the external entity such as the state. Notice that you must get caught, etc by some external party for this type of law to have any effect.
Greed is a crime against your Self -- not the state. Much like hate is. Greed is just another form of Self hatred. As greed starts to take control of your life, paranoia and insecurity grow as well. Generally, allowing greed to grow and take control causes the person to be less happy instead of more happy. Again, when you dig into the topic, you discover that greed and hatred have many of the same attributes. For these connections, you can read various texts on psychology, "self help", etc.
Side track -- strictly speaking, the "greed" is not the "crime" but the act of allowing it to take control. There are various books to elucidate this point as well.
If you need to see a "law" about greed written down, the books written by the state is not where to look. Instead look in philosophy or religious texts. They will explain many times over the consequences of greed. Curiously, they roughly repeat and predict what bleeding edge "science" discovers -- that for some reason, when a person acts on their greed, there is consistently internal consequences.
Many people pop up and talk about God as this point but there is no need. It may be a view point that is easier to grasp for some, but I just look at what really happens in reality and I don't really need to know "how" it happens. It is easy to witness that it happens very consistently. You can see it happen within yourself and you can see it happen in others.
Analogy: Do you really totally understand the hung over feeling like shit after a night of excessive drinking? No... but it is 100% predictable and (hopefully) it helps guide your future decisions.
To bored you to an extra degree... suppose an act of vandalism happened to a greedy person. Consistently they will be outraged. The outrage is the actual consequence of their greed -- not the vandalism. Contrast that with someone I bet you have met somewhere some time where such matters (being vandalized) rarely happen and when they do, the person barely frets at all about it and simply moves on. Here we see a contrast between being greedy and not being greedy and the consequences of it.
Well... you are neglecting something called consequences. Sure, it is "illegal" or "improper" to kill folks or vandalize cars and often those who do that go to jail or whatever.
But it is also illegal as well as immoral to utterly fuck over your fellow citizen with your greed and usually those folks do not go to jail. But, karma still comes around and shits on them by way of being vandalized, assassinated, and taunted a second time.
Seriously... first, don't they need to demonstrate that NPM is what most developers are using? I don't use it. I deploy my javascript such as jQuery by pulling down a copy and embedding it in my app.
It seems a more reasonable approach to understanding the current state of Javascript is to ask the spiders that crawl the web and see what packages they encounter.
You need to be a family of 5 before you save any money from buying in bulk. A single person will pay through the nose if they make their own food 100% of the time, due to being unable to balance spoilage with buying in bulk. Pick one food you like to make, and make only that, everything else, go out to eat if you want some food variety in your life.
Nah... If you want to believe that, go ahead. But you state a lot of information that is not true for me. If you are curious, below is what I do and a few reasons why I choose this method.
in 2013, my groceries (single man) was 3066.10 buying from the normal super market a bit each weekend and my restaurant expenses for the year was 1627.07. Total is 4693.17
in 2015, using Costco, my grocery expenses were 1984.32 and my restaurant expenses for the year was 872.44. Total is 2856.76.
I go to Costo less than once a month. My normal trip is $200+. I buy mostly frozen, dry, and canned foods. On the weekend or perhaps Monday evening, I cook up a "dinner". I will often gnaw on this two or three times during the week but also supplement it with things I have cooked the previous weeks and froze. A classic example of this is lasagna. You can make it and freeze it just fine. Come home and in three to five minutes you have a meal that is better than restaurant quality. If you cycle through five to eight things over a two or three month period, you get a fairly wide variety.
Breakfast is usually coffee and something lite: protein bar, trail mix, muffin, etc. Breakfast for me is weird due to various medical issues. If I wanted a full nice breakfast each morning, eggs, toast, etc... I still think cooking at home would come out ahead.
Lunch is usually a home built sandwich or some soup that I either cooked myself or bought from Costco.
Aside from the three main meals, I now have much more snacks like nuts, crackers, health bars -- even chocolate and ice cream.
Most things keep an extremely long time today. I don't have a fancy fridge. Mine is now 26 years old.
Occasionally I go to the normal grocery store to buy some fresh fruit or perhaps milk. But even milk now, the whole organic milk, will last for more than a week. Just check the expiration dates.
Speaking of organic... yea, you can go to the very pricey places and get organic meals but it is far cheaper to buy your own food and cook it. Costco has a lot of organic food -- chicken, beef, bison. Many frozen items are organic. I mention organic only because I've heard folks say that they assume Costco doesn't have any organic food -- but they do.
Rarely do I have something spoil.
As far as time, the trips to Costco I would guess to be 18 hours per year. How much time to you wait in restaurants for your meal? And the cooking part is usually "free". I'm watching a movie or piddling around the house and can cook things as I piddle and play. So, the time argument is not balanced. You do not account for the time you spend at the restaurants. Your time eating is fully wasted just on eating while I can work, watch TV, surf the net, etc.
I can eat at home and do what I want to do while you are stuck in a chaotic environment for an hour or so of you time for each meal.
Perhaps you prefer being out so you don't consider this time wasted. I use to be this way but at this point, I find I have better things to do than just sit at a restaurant. Yes, you can read a book or you can probably even surf the net on your smart phone or tablet but why not sit in your favorite chair using your favorite devices in the quiet and peacefulness of your own home instead?
You mentioned "make their own food 100% of the time". I'm not 100% of the time but I'm getting closer and closer to that each year. Restaurants today are just noisy ugly places to me with food that I don't really want.
You mentioned cold cuts. Buy what you want, in bulk. Freeze all of them except what you will eat for that week. They
