How about "going away from family and friends and the familiar, perhaps for an extended period, causes sadness easily triggered to tears by a mildly sad moment in a movie syndrome"?
That definition sounds like circular reasoning returning to the bad philosophy which spawned it.
Consciousness is the subjective perceptual experience, and has nothing to do with self-awareness (or speech or linguistics for that matter.)
More likely, as a real phenomenon, it may have something to do with memory -- does it exist as a facility independent of memory, or does it exist inside a walled off virtual recall garden through which memories are passed for feelings magnitude analysis, for storage emphasis of the more monumental observations?
Although it hasn't been to the Supreme Court yet, some lesser courts have forbidden the use of copyright law to forbid use by a disfavored faction. The reasoning is that copyright is in the context of earning money for the holder, and stopping that does the opposite.
Now theze cases were music being played at potical events, and music has ways to pay for its use in the matter of course, independent of who uses it. There is no such thing for Pepe here. Also, use by right wing could devalue the value, but on the gripping hand, if he isn't selling right to use it, no money is lost.
But copyright is not a full property right, just one in the context of creating a trur monopoly to earn the owner money.
This always seemed a bit problematic. I had assumed they would build it underground they way old-school ballistic transport systems from science fiction worked. Those would accelerate you in a vacuum underground to suborbital speed so that you "fell" in a ballistic arc matching the tunnel size.
This was all vastly future tech, but underground at least protected you from more catastrophic failures of air pressure. Putting it above ground is just stupid as it will be shot at by terrorist and crazies all the time.
I am not against net neutrality per se. I am against Internet companies lying that they will provide me certain data rates, when in fact behind the scenes they are extorting a part of my Netflix fee, in essence making me pay more to them than the agreed-upon amount.
And no, hiding it in fine print, hoping people don't realize, is fraud.
This is the first good news since a few years back a study showed nominally in-shape people (e.g. jogging wise) suffered as much heart disease as couch potatoes if they just sat around at work and home when done exercising.
Now you have to have a standing, if not treadmill desk.
This is exactly how that land sail vehicle "going downwind faster than the wind" works. It takes the angular for used in tacking and puts it to work as angular blades on a windmill, then attaches it to the wheels.
The question here is how large must the sails (or bladez) be to get a noticable input of energy at that cargo ship scale, and how durable are they for long term use.
How tough would they be? Rotors could last many years.
And kites can crash in spite of best efforts. They would need some kind of recovery yardarm. This assumes crashing doesn't rip it off the ship or destroy it.
Netflix is the only "studio" with more than one show I wait for new seasons of. Orange, Travellers, Stranger Things, others which slip my mind.
Most other companies have none. Some have one, which isn't enough, even including their old catalogs.
AMC (Walking Dead, Saul) could pull it off, but they are free on TV for the forseeable future.
And we are in a brief golden age where we can binge good, old shows. The it's back to waiting for new stuff. This may take 10 more years, no more.
Already I've binged TWD 2x, Breaking Bad, Buffy 6x, Dexter 2x, haven't Six Feet Under as it isn't on Netflix (only saw last few seasons as broadcast) New Doctor Who, etc.
This will dry up once you have seen all the shows you want to, then media companies will die and go back to free/ad TV.
The days of a galactic civilization with a lifetime's worth of great shows isn't here, yet.
This. I will pay CBS $6/month for Big Brother live feeds. I will not pay for Star Trek and I am an enormous nerd.
There is literally nothing on CBS.com I would watch for free, much less pay for. Same for other networks.
CBS is doubling down with 2 BBs a year now -- this year will include not a BB OTT 2, but rather a celebrity BB in the "winter". No doubt chosen to coincide with the second half of season one of Goldtone Trek.
Personally, I cannot wait for The Orville with old-school primary colors instead of all that sepia shit. My Klingons don't bray at the moon like dogs and wear skeleton armor like the purple stuff in year one of a 20 year old MMORPG.
Really this sounds more like Canadian over-regulation is to blame.
It's just a few switches to flip from a media company's point of view, a few extra IP address ranges. Plus a deal with a data distribution/localization company. I'm sure they have clear sailing too.
"For their pet brands" -- you're ruling out astroturfing. You are also ruling out astroturfing "on your side". You, yourself, could be an astroturfer with a pre-written FUD response. It even includes moral invective against the opposing side, which is not a valid argument of persuasion.
I wonder if most online discussions of controversial topics, especially ones involving government power affecting money, even involve real, independent people anymore.
Anyone who thinks a company should be allowed to trademark a particular wavelength of light. It's on par with trademarks on genes found nature.
Well yes, but...that is the purpose of trademarks, which includes packaging designs: to allow producers to fend off competing products that fraudulently make look-alike packaging to deceive the buyer.
There are many many many other colors in the rainbow you can use as the backgeound of an oats-specific box, to say nothing of complex designs.
All this assumes the ad service tracks you via cookies or some similar trick.
What if the ad sites are being told by the site you visit that you are visiting, and they make an educated guess as to the kinds of ads to run? Worse, what if they are told the subsections or pages you visit, and thus narrow down your advertising interests?
CNN runs stories (and not in sponsored links) to things like a new heart pill. Do they report your IP address may have a person interested in heart medicine to advertisers? Do advertisers on that page figure it out?
Though IP addresses can be dynamic, in practice they are slow to change, and browsing habits can regularly re-attach your new IP to the behaviors of the old one.
Need for cookies is old news. Like the US army, you are skilled at fighting the previous war.
Many anti-discriminatory laws are statutory rights rather than raw constitutional ones (and those that are are usually derived from an explicit amendment rather than implied in general.)
So there is nothing stating some inherent right to partake in a lottery if you have a relative who works for it. Meanwhime there is probably plenty of evidence of scam behavior involving relatives, so the reasoning behind the law isn't pulled out of the blue.

Ok by flying cars I mean multi-rotor drones, not shit cars with folded wings from a 1950s newsreel buffed up in 4K video.
I wanna take off and land right where I wanna go, not have to go drive a half hour to a takeoff area.

Praise kids for being hard-working rather than smart.
They gave two groups the same easy puzzle. After finishing, half were praised for being smart, the other half for working hard.
When then given a much harder puzzle, kids praised as smart gave up sooner than did those praised as hard workers.
It is no surprise such might attempt to cheat to maintain their official visage.
New generation discovers consumerism as if it is a novel idea. This and a real-life "Godzilla" at 11.

Sounds like an opportunity.
That's a good premise for an AMC show, if you have bizarre psychic powers that bring what you watched in the movies to life.

Right. Star Trek fans who hope the first exicit onscreen interracial sex is in 2027.
They're all popular. That's why they're so readily available all over the place.

I had to install a video autoplay blocker because CNN autoplays videos, usually with ads, and no way to pause them as they remove the pause button.
Well, you can click on the video ad and be directed to the ad site in another tab, pausing it of course.
No thanks, CNN.

I'm guessing some sort of parchment-based cosplay figures highly in your fantasies.
Powdered wigs is an obscure fetish, to be sure.
If the videos are even lower quality, say, 480p, that's around 0.7 gigabytes per hour, or 293 years and six months.
There can't be more than 10 minutes of good stuff in that. Sad!

I vote no. Let it go and build a big tourist trap coasing along a few miles away, like will eventually be done with the moon landing locations.
