Design patterns themselves transcend language features. That was my only point here.
Yep, that's why it's called a design "methodology", it ignores the implementation details. OOD is an older design methodology you are apparently completely unaware of even though many languages have gone out of their way adding features to make it easier to implement OO designs. "Functional decomposition" is the oldest methodology commonly used by developers and is also well supported by specific language features. "Design patterns" is the only popular methodology that is not well supported by language features, perhaps that's why you noticed it "transcends language features"?
Agree that mixing two methodologies will end in tears but that doesn't mean you can't use OO language features to implement a design pattern.
You have it backwards, OO is primarily a design methodology, not a language feature. If you look carefully, most of the examples in K&R are actually implementations of good OOD written long before the term was coined. The "OOP features" found in today's languages actually evolved from the use of OOD, not the other way around.
How do I know this? - I'm degree qualified and have been using it professionally for almost 25yrs. Do yourself a favour, admit to yourself you might not understand OO properly and crack open an OOD textbook.
Before these "ride sharing" services happened, folks who weren't in profitable parts of the city didn't even get a *chance* to be a dick.
Before taxi driving I worked and lived in a sawmill town, the nearest taxi was 2.5hr drive away, the nearest store 30min away, unprofitable means "not worth the effort", so what's your point?
when a US user files a class action lawsuit against them because they are trying to access their legally acquired content while travelling in a non supported country
The key words are "non supported". The way it works in a legal sense, it would be like trying to sue a gas station owner because the hose wouldn't stretch to where you parked your car.
Exactly, it's in Netflix interest to turn a blind eye to VPN's since each VPN is also a paying customer. The studio's are twisting Netflix's arm heavily because VPN's are not in the studio's interest, they price their wares to what the "market can bear" in different regions, which they argue optimises both global audience and profit.
The MAFIA have a point when you look at it as a logistics problem that optimises for profit. Region restrictions are aimed at getting X% of the population in region Y to see movie Z for profit P, X,Y and Z are varied to maximise P. So...
Australasia: Rich folk who love their TV - $20
US/EU: Large number of rich folk who have a lot more "buyer's choice" than Aussies - $10
'stan country: Poor folk who consider themselves lucky to have an internet connection - $2
Netflix gets $10 no matter where the other end of the VPN is located. Ergo: They are not making this move willingly.
The real problem here is the length of copyright protection combined with greed, if copyright was set at single digit years then all the old (unprofitable/politically incorrect) stuff that cannot be found on the net would suddenly be worth something. Cheap, global subscription services would pop up like mushrooms (for all those not so rich folk).
I'm sure the taxi industry will be crushed by the loss of your $5 per quarter.
Sure Uber is cheap, it makes it's money by exploiting people who are desperate for work and have a drivable car. After a few months the driver is still desperate but no longer has a drivable car because he can't afford the tyres/maintenance. Worst still, if the driver fucks up and doesn't have the right kind of registration/insurance then he will be paying for it for the rest of his life.
Disclaimer: Ex-taxi driver, Melbourne, late 80's. I once had a complainer like you in the cab, he had flagged me down and was in a big hurry, as soon as we got going he started bitching I wasn't going fast enough. When I pointed out I was driving at the speed limit he just became more cranky and replied "it would be quicker by bus". I pulled over at the next bus stop and threw him out of the cab, I let him keep the $5 on the meter, the look of shocked disbelief on his face was worth it.
If a host receives a notice and wants to keep their 'safe harbour' privilege in the eyes of the law, then the host has no choice but to accept the claims in the notice and immediately take down the file. The host does not (and in most cases cannot) make any determination of validity. It's up to the person who posted the file to prove to the host that the claim in the notice is incorrect. - In other words the DCMA system operates under the assumption of "guilty until proven innocent". There are penalties for making a false DMCA claim but I've never heard of them being applied by a court.
And Someone pays for CC thift and that someone is You and me with much higher prices/taxes for everything.
Taxes and store prices have nothing to do with CC theft, the money is recouped by the bank purely from the interest rates.
However what I think you are trying to say is that; - the "working poor" are the people who end up paying interest because they can't afford to keep the CC balance at zero, they can't "just say no" to the CC debt because they also can't afford not to fix the car that takes them to work.
Easier said than done if you're always broke before the next payday. And no, that scenario doesn't automatically mean you're a lazy or that you squander your money. Quite the opposite, it generally means you work 60-80hr weeks in retail or some other minimum wage (or less) industry. When the shit-box car that takes you to work dies a CC is normally the only way it can be revived/replaced.
The vast majority of the "working poor" know it's a financial trap when they get the card, but sometimes in life deliberately walking into a trap is the best option you have, thankfully I haven't been in that position for over 20yrs now.
I use a CC with a low limit specifically for internet purchases, I repay it straight away so I pay zero interest/fees. Over the last couple of decades I have known several people who have had their DC/CC emptied by hackers, in every case the bank was quick to accept blame and take the financial hit. It's in the bank's interest to do so because (like banknotes) CCs work on trust, if nobody trusts them nobody will use them. Nobody has ever emptied my CC (other than the ex-wife) but on a couple of occasions I have had a phone call from the bank telling me that my CC was being replaced by the bank because "it was involved in a data breach".
Dependency: Of course the people who can't afford to keep their CC balance at zero end up paying for my peace of mind via increased interest rates. Ultimately CC's are an unfair burden on the "working poor" and become "just another bill" when they inevitably hit their limit (been there, done that). The sad fact is that if everyone at every point in their life could afford to keep the balance at zero nobody would pay interest and CCs would not exist.
So distract everyone and yell "ASSHOLES!!" and pretend you haven't been shown how buttfucked you are, and how willingly you bent for it.
Self-righteous cunt, what's it to you if other people are willingly bending over, did you ever consider they were enjoying it and just wanted to be left alone?
Same laid back security with an Aussie cruise (2012), but the fuckers at Broome airport took my fishing lures off me last october, the same lures that sailed through Melbourne's high security airport without question on the way into Broome. He let me take the telescopic fishing rod and reel on board, I tried to explain it would be easier to beat him to death with my rod and reel than it would to attack him with a fishing lure but he just mumbled the "rules are rules" platitude while staring at his shoes.
Why should modern Japanese still be paying for the sins of their grandfathers? - Also, if you applied similar logic to the UK/US "empires" and banned them from criticising every nation they have invaded/occupied during the 20th century, they would only be allowed to criticise each other.
That's Sony's claim, the movie chains have a different story. My guess is Sony and the movie chains planned it together with hookers and blackjack. Blaming each other just means the rest of us will never know what happened.
I never have understood the world's fetish with the US dollar.
1. Any currency (even gold) works on informed trust, a banknote is a promise, not a gaurentee.
2. The US is the last military superpower.
3. The US has never defaulted on a debt.
Result: US treasury bonds are considered "safer than gold" by international money markets.

OTOH, many other things are so cheap that they are not worth the parts and labor it would take to fix them.
Exactly, I'm over 50 and that's the reason my mum stopped darning socks back in the 60's.

and don't bother checking if the claim is valid
If a host receives a notice and wants to keep their 'safe harbour' privilege in the eyes of the law, then the host has no choice but to accept the claims in the notice and immediately take down the file.

BTW, it's DMCA not DCMA.
Anytime you can read an acronym as a word...
An acronym must form a word, that's what distinguishes it from an abbreviation (such as TOS).
Inter = between, net - network. NK has what used to be called a WAN.

Just don't spend more money than you have...
Easier said than done if you're always broke before the next payday. And no, that scenario doesn't automatically mean you're a lazy or that you squander your money.

it was the 5 major movie chains
That's Sony's claim, the movie chains have a different story. My guess is Sony and the movie chains planned it together with hookers and blackjack. Blaming each other just means the rest of us will never know what happened.
Yep, Sony are milking the Streisand effect for every penny and Dear Leader can't log on to FB right now, sounds like natural justice to me.
It's not the size of the debt that counts, it's your ability to make the next repayment.
I never have understood the world's fetish with the US dollar.

I never hit them and have rarely yelled at them. We don't have a concept of "time out" at our house.
If you aren't a stressed out wreck then you kids are likely to be the same.
"Here we are now, entertain us" was a big hit when my kids were teenagers, but you are wrong about western civilization.
