Sure, but nothing's stopping FedEx from installing private, exclusive boxes at any address that wants one. Or for UPS and FedEx et al to share the box.
The purpose of copyright is not to preserve profit. The purpose of copyright is to stimulate art. And the purpose of art - in the context of governance - is to contribute to culture. When copyright stopped expiring because of the Walt Disney company's lobbying, they undermined the entire purpose of copyright. All of those large copyright holders you mention are benefiting from a broken system that is abusive to art and culture.
No it isn't. If ten people live on a forested mountain, the one hundred people in the town in the next valley should not be able to vote to deforest the mountain.
We are a republic. We are not a democracy. Democracies are stupid.
Healthcare in the US, like many things, is focused on wealthy consumers. Wherever you are from, I guarantee you have countrymen flying to doctors in the US to receive the best care in the world.
The "gig economy" is simply a process for acquiring on demand human resources to supplement automated services. That's not going anywhere. Most industries will go through a period of gig economy on their path to go fully automated.
At the company I work at, the product team would definitely be looking at competitors doing this sort of thing at trade shows et al. If these companies don't know what their competitors are up to, they don't last long.
Much of the time you can test for a flaw that leads to an exploit without going all the why and fulfilling the entire exploit. If a function returns bad data that subsequently can be used to finagle a complicated sequence of events to exploit the system, you only need to checke for the bad function result.
RTFA to learn that just because you received updates and just because you're phone claims to be patched, you probably do not actually have those patches unless you bought a phone from Google.
"Corporations are people" is not just someting an old, rich, white, out-of-touch guy says. It's actually the law of the land. For the most part, the rights of individuals is transitively applied to groups of individuals. It's not hard to figure out why; if you are concerned with freedom of speech and assembly, you can see how the rights of corporations (groups of people) must be protected as well.
I would be ok with this in principal. But the issue is most people won't use fee-based services because they are poor or do not value their privacy. Which in turn means network services with fees will be unable to reach critical mass.
I really, really wish people would be willing to pay for a few high quality things rather than trying to maximize the number of things they have, but that's not how our society, culture, or economy is setup.
The Community Reinvestment Act was signed by Clinton and is the primary driver of the subprime crisis. I don't understand why the GOP is being brought up related to this.
Can you please - for edification - describe the distinction in your mind between the Nazi's under Hitler and the Jacobins under Robespierre? Because if you can't, your entire comment is moronic.
Using the good science, but implementing it with bad tech, does not mean you will come up with good results. None of the major DNA testers have demonstrated efficacy in such things, and each test will provide completely different ancestral results. Maybe it's junk science, maybe it's junk tech, but it's definitely junk.
You seem unfamiliar with the concepts of zoning and height restriction which generally restricts billboards to highway roadsides and other undesirable locations.

Also Texas.
No audiophile would seriously present a HomePod as a quality audio experience. I'm not sure what you're saying here.
Isn't claiming 10% of the market with overpriced high margin device Apple's entire business model? Are they giving up on that?

The USPS. It's profitable and provides a service that is both far cheaper and can service far more customers than any private competition.
The US may have undermined the interests of the Walt Disney company but at least not the American people.

I imagine fans of classical aren't going to be willing to deal with digitalal to analog quality drop.
If you buy closed source software, you are at their mercy. This isn't news to anyone on /..

I don't believe I mentioned peace. But detente is a good first step towards that, too.

But human beings can't even agree on what hate speech is; how are we going to train an A.I. to do such a thing?
An effective and benevolent dictator is a totalitarian but he is not a despot. A weak and evil dictator is a despot, but not a totalitarian.

I'd rather share my data with 1 Google than with 10 independent Googles.
