Sounds like you were less enterprising than me, you'll never score a new bike with that attitude. I set up on the sidewalk of the street that gave the best mix of being slow enough for people to stop and busy enough to keep them coming. It's public property. You can park in front of anyone's house as well.
Even if this were about zoning laws it is perfectly valid to account for scale. Individuals can and do typically ignoring zoning laws with regard to their home businesses, so much so that many communities have taken to dual zoning allowing exactly that.
You can't simply ignore the hypocrisy here. These are obviously people who are trying to earn their way and they aren't hurting anyone with their actions. Zoning is no more a factor here than it is for a door-to-door salesperson.
In Florida people just live in gated communities. This guy likely lives in an entirely gated home. I doubt he'd even see them other than when he drives by.
Or simply buy their bag of oranges and give them to staff. It's not even a sum of money someone in the upper middle class would miss and you'd brighten the lives (as well as garnering loyalty and likely better quality work) of your staff at the same.
Fair enough but the man obviously road that line between sanity and mental illness. He did more than enough for AC, DC, and radio (of which he was the true inventor, Marconi simply stole his patented ideas and built a simpler prototype than Tesla was working on). Essentially all modern society is built on the work of Tesla and without him, even if someone else had eventually figured out what he did, it certainly wouldn't look like it does now. The entire human race would have been set back decades if not a century. We could be in the middle of the industrial revolution just now instead of the information age pondering what we will do now that AI is growing intelligent enough to put us all out of work.
I wouldn't there is too much international collaboration in the space program and nobody is going to be willing to admit they are the country that couldn't detect the rover. All said though, yes it is much less likely than a conspiracy within our government and between it and official bodies and corporations.
Anyone who doubts the possibility of a conspiracy in the US after the Snowden leaks is off their rocker not even so much because of what was leaked (although that was plenty bad) but because of the response after it was leaked. Including the bill passed that was supposed to put a stop to it but actually just legalized it.
Indeed it was Faraday's baby. But it took Nikola Tesla to do anything useful with that baby. Scientists always point at Faraday who found the physics that made Tesla's work possible but ignore that physics didn't enable much beyond pipe dreams until Tesla came along. Neil himself skipped right over Tesla in Cosmos.
Nobody had the kind of intuitive understanding of the physics first seen by Faraday that Tesla did, and their true potential no just for AC current in wires but in the air, possibly nobody has since either.
You do know the violence originates with the Trump supporters as a direct result of Trump publicaly encouraging exactly that, not the people who peacefully protest at his rallies.
Everything that is you is part of the simulation, all your thoughts, dreams, intelligence, hallucinations, etc. So yes, they are coming out of the simulation.
The only difference between magic and science is the level of understanding, having labels for all the pieces, and the method by which we go about seeking out new powers. From the perspective of a god there is no magic. If you are invisible and pick up a cheese puff then spread the crumbs into a peace symbol to spectators it is magic but to you, the invisible being, there is nothing magic about that it is simply the nature of reality.
With a thought and a tweak of a few fingers I'm sending you a message carried on a beam of light that will shine in your eyes. If I held up a wand and tweaked it in gestures, then would it be magic? What if we were both wearing augmented reality glasses that exchanged the data using HF QRP Radio so there was no other supporting infrastructure. Then would cross the threshold to be magic? What if we took out the gestures and I provided the input with brainwaves and a virtual keyboard.
This fails on the magic test why? For no other reason than because we understand how the magic works, except on some level we don't, on some level it just is and we've merely assigned labels to the pieces.
There were 55 tropical cyclones from 2000-2009 and thus were the same type of storm. 18 of them had the arbitrary wind level at which we label it "Hurricane" instead of tropical storm. If this were a list of storms that hit Florida the counts would be dramatically higher with Miami alone being hit by short incidents of what constitutes a "storm" elsewhere almost daily.
As for the differences in technology and methodology... it's a little disingenuous to point out something I myself pointed out in the first place. The current decade has the lowest count of tropical cyclones since before there was significant population in Florida. Radar is useful for seeing hurricanes early but not needed for detecting them, Florida is populated enough that these massive storms hit population centers and there is no missing a tropical storm.
"You would say that considering it isn't your content that is being stolen. I think I see the problem."
That attitude is the barrier for content producers. Those who drop it will have the potential to succeed going forward. Those who embrace it will die slow deaths.
The analogy has a very large flaw in that loss prevention sensors and personnel exist to prevent theft and there is no theft involved in what we are discussing.
That said, I think it would be fair to characterize some loss prevention efforts as anti-consumer and effectively going to war with customers. The reality of these efforts shows, as brick and mortar retailers introduce more and more of these things which interfere with the experience of legitimate consumers they become less and less convenient relative to online retailers at a time when they need to emphasize how much more convenient they are.
It isn't just sensors, which have largely been proven to be useless. You can simply ignore the alarms being tripped and walk out of the store anyway. They can't even detain you. It's also the new return policies at many retailers especially with regard to electronics and media. This is especially silly with media which the retailer can simply report as unsold and destroyed when returned.
Nothing I said is contrary to content producers making a living. It is simply a longer term investment. Look at the comic industry. They've encouraged people to clone their work, they've encouraged copying, etc and continued to make their products available at low cost for decades. That loyal fanbase that they've nurtured and grown over time has proven more than willing to pay for premium content and it now paying off in billions at the box office.
Early Google was not merely a better search engine, it actually wasn't all that much better in the beginning in terms of results. Google built it's base on being less intrusive with it's advertising than competitors. The much cleaner page and simplicity when combined with ever improving search results is what drew people. Even when the results weren't dramatically better you could find information more quickly with google because you didn't have to wade through the crap and people liked a company that was pro-user. Odd that users would like a site that seemed pro-user.
People no longer believe in these content sources and in response they are throwing up a paywall and making it more difficult to get at them. You don't grow a reputation by having an ever shrinking base, if you have a massive following you have massive potential to make revenue.
Let's operate a simpler smaller scale for a moment. It is winter and the heat is on, now I light a fire for the first time ever introducing additional extreme heat into my home? What is the result? The fire creates hot air which rises out the chimney, pulling more air from within the room faster than I am able to heat that air from the original source. The fire generates a glow of heat in it's immediate vicinity but it isn't enough to offset the heat it pulls from the house and across the rest of the house the temperature drops to a record low for that time period.
We focus on the major streams like the gulf stream but there are small eddies and currents in weather everywhere that can have a channel effect akin to the chimney in the fireplace and cause localized extremes. The well documented melting at the poles is also essentially a massive air condition cooling the hot air but is definitely a diminishing cycle as there is less ice to melt year on year.
You seem to be pushing an denial agenda. I'm not pushing any agenda. The warming trend itself is well documented over time in historical records. The disputed portions are in the cause, whether it will accelerate going forward, and what exactly the result will be. I'm not taking a position on any of those things, simply pointing out there have been weather extremes, hot, cold, storms, drought, and even lack of storms where we normally expect them.
I wouldn't I'd put up a pay what you think it's worth donation link. Then I'd put up more content of better quality and more interesting content which would draw a larger base both blocking and non-blocking and would increase advertising revenue. Through this path I'd be the champion of news to the people and build a loyal following and fan base.
Going to war with the consumers of your content is never the good plan. That path leads to people not seeking you out with news, it leads to people seeking alternatives and those alternatives will eventually come if they don't exist now. If you are an information broker your best path is always the one which leads to providing more and better information to more people than anyone else, regardless of short term gain.
On a global scale sure there is more heat, on a local scale, this absolutely could result in colder temps. More heat that builds more quickly can form a current in air or water that more efficiently siphons that heat away from adjacent areas. Just because on a global scale things are warmer doesn't mean in a given place it won't actually be much colder than norm.
"I also have something to say about your response to Karmashock where you respond to his observation about fewer hurricanes:
I said incidents of extremes.
There were fewer incidents of an important sort of extreme, hurricanes and you just blew it off despite claiming there would be "more storms" above. This is exactly what confirmation bias is about: ignoring or distorting facts that don't fit."
Karmashock didn't provide any sort of data regarding hurricanes or anything else. He simply claimed he checked and my claims were false. I provided the hurricane data.
A record lack of hurricanes is just as extreme as a record number of them. I didn't ignore this, I highlighted it.
"I also suspect for the same reason we'll start to see increased fault activity eventually as the crust temperatures adjust and the earth slightly expands but I doubt we are there yet the more recent activity is likely all down to fraking,
You ignore here that we already see no change in earthquake activity from lunar and solar tidal forces which affect a global scale; the thermal expansion of dirt and rock is pretty low; it takes a long time for heat to permeate dirt and rock several km down where the faults lie; generally there will be no change in stresses on a fault because both sides will heat near equally; and there just isn't that much temperature change in the first place."
I'm sorry but all I can say is your reading comprehension is poor here. I indicated we would likely see this activity at some point in the future, eventually. Indicating we don't see this now and pointed out why it would take time is merely consistent with my remark and not with me ignoring anything.

It still doesn't work though.

The answer to the question in your body is in the head of your subject.

Not necessarily. The brain is not just the lump of neurons in the head, the brain includes all the neurons throughout the body.
Right, we are still pretending that your kids only look at what you know about and that YOUR viewing history is clean.
On a global scale sure there is more heat, on a local scale, this absolutely could result in colder temps. More heat that builds more quickly can form a current in air or water that more efficiently siphons that heat away from adjacent areas.

Chris, the ads are based on the history of viewer not the content of the video.
Youtube already has ads that never present a skip option. Is this new in that they will only be 6s now?
