Intellectual property is a result of something requiring thousands or millions of hours of human labor to create in the first place, but fractions of a second of human labor to reproduce: there's literally no way to recover the costs of making it.
I'm amazed that people are all mad about the stock sales and everything. I mean, yes, that's illegal, but we have bigger problems--which we can fix (YouTube).
You can get a credit card or open up a car loan? You can afford $18. I wish the Neo would go Gen 4 with USB-C already; I'll probably settle for a 4C.
Users will stand for it just fine; it's the content providers who have a bigger market on the Internet than on AOL alone, especially since people on AOL can get to the Internet at large.
Honestly, it's for streaming content, not content you're supposed to retain in the first place.
Those DVDs you theoretically shouldn't be able to copy to Blu-Ray now that DVD players have gone the way of VHS? That's a problem. DRM is the devil.
That NetFlix stream, Spotify music channel, etc. that you were never supposed to record a copy of in the first place? DRM doesn't matter, aside from the tech sometimes not working for someone and thus being in the way while not actually providing any real security.
Yes. Blockchain is a buzzword and not useful here. What you're looking for is public-key identity (PKI is public-key infrastructure) based on a non-shared-secret challenge-response.
Today, we can implement this simply by using FIDO devices (UAF/U2F), wherein a user walks into a bank, shows their hard ID (driver's license, passport, etc.), and then establishes a trust with a third-party entity (such as a Credit Reporting Agency--TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax). I've described this for credit fraud (YouTube), such that you won't be able to open new credit accounts (car loan, mortgage, car rental, credit card, etc.) without physical possession of a Security Key device (which you bring yourself). The damned things cost $20 and one holds many keys, so can be used to validate to Google, all three CRAs, the State, and whoever else.
You could do the same with driver's IDs, and even embed the device in your driver's ID. When you receive your ID, hold it over an NFC sensor at the desk, press the button, and it creates a new key. This could be a special, one-time implementation where the ID card will only generate a new trust when it's brand-new: if you lose your ID, you get a new one, and have to establish trust with the State to activate its identity feature. For mail-out license replacement, you could go to a bank, police station, or some other authorized establishment, which only leaves the same weakness as today, and only until you establish that trust.
The hard part is establishing identity when you have no identifying papers. How do you prove you're you? Birth certificate is your origin, and we just kind of accept that: if you die as a baby and some no-name takes your papers for his no-name infant, nobody's the wiser. You might create an odd anomaly, unless you dump the baby with the parents of the original and they go along with it.
Everything beyond that is a matter of having a strange adult with a strange claim of being a person.
Interesting. I've always been told that minors can't have credit cards or other types of loans because they can't consent to contracts. Apparently there is some other stuff in there. Another cite.
Some of these are suggesting that the contract is valid until and unless the minor moves to void the contract before the age of majority--that is: the contract continues unless, by age 18, you step up and say, "Nope I changed my mind bro." Apparently you can't be bound.
So yeah, what you said seems about right: many contracts are voidable just by being a minor, but they can enter into them.... weird. No wonder nobody wants to sign with minors.
One is that she's got a competent and well-developed perspective on the security industry. She's put a lot of thought into many new and upcoming problems, has kept herself on the leading edge, and is well-appraised of many deep and complex topics in information security. On top of all that, she also has excellent taste in music.
The other is that she's a woman and obviously doesn't know what any of those big words she's using actually mean.
The major debate will be held on Reddit and will primarily feature these two points of view.
You can't cut the pill. Never, ever, ever open an Atomoxetine capsule. The drug is highly-caustic and will burn your hands, mouth, and eyes. You have to get the capsule down to your stomach (full of aggressive, organic-matter-dissolving acids and enzymes) and small intestine (full of aggressive, organic-matter-dissolving lye and enzymes) before it releases the drug.
I recall a dude who set up his house with all kinds of automation. His friend showed up and he's like "I'll let you in" "Oh don't worry. SIRI, OPEN THE DOOR!" and the front door unlocks. Doesn't even do voice print recognition; just stand outside, shout loudly, and the front door unlocks.
Things become less a crime and more your own fault when they don't cause any substantial harm and are inflicted with little to no effort or reasonable consideration. A reasonable person doesn't walk up to your house and open your door, or reach into your pocket and fish out your phone to pull up a YouTube video; but he might yell "Siri, what is a billion times a billion" and run from the cacophony of phones trying to answer.
The problem is the stuff coming out of the sewage treatment plant apparently still has these tiny fibers coming out of it. There's been a lot of proposal about throwing these sheets in and removing them at the source (decentralized); it makes more sense to force the clean-water discharge through an additional filtration stage.
We have filters for laundry water discharge (lint traps), but they've proposed this thing instead. I assume this means something about turbulence increases the likelihood of capturing these particles, rather than forcing them through what amounts to a screening media. Maybe it takes too damned much pressure for water to go through the media. Whatever the reason, they've proposed this goes in the tumble-wash cycle, so the analogous post-process filtration would be to have a lot of these rolling over each other in a turbulent vat that the water passes through on its way out of the facility as a final stage.
The issue is polyester fibers getting into the water because they pass through the filters at sewage treatment plants. They don't get into the sewage system from your dryer; they get into it from your washing machine. How in the hell would the point-of-use for these things, thus, be the dryer?
It says they're dryer-sheet-like, not that they go in the dryer.
The rest of your ramble is also pointless and disconnected.
In the US, you're not legally capable of consenting to a contract until you're 18. The contract to repay credit debt doesn't exist: you actually have no obligation to pay. I'm surprised a cosign isn't just a credit card signed by your dad, since your signature into the contract is illegal and they can't put a red mark on your credit history for violating the terms of a contract to which you're not legally obligated.
Also the gas station puts a hold of $1 on your card, and then charges $40. It just goes over-balance if your card's maxed and they get paid anyway. I have a card that gives me additional rewards for buying gasoline by reading the charge code (if it's gasoline, I get 3x the reward); the last AmEx prepaid card I had explicitly stated gasoline purchases were against the terms of use and rejected them if you pulled to a gas station. For a while, they rejected online purchases. I see their terms now discuss gas station holds and suggest prepaying inside.
Point still stands: if it's coded liquor, the bank can reject the transaction.
I'm using an SNRI for ADHD and want to lower the dose, but my psychiatrist has other opinions on that. Because so much keeps changing without me changing the drugs around, I've elected to let him have that battle for the moment. I actually started sleeping well--I started having depression issues out of nowhere, so I took a weak NDRI with a short half-life to get rid of that feeling during the day (it wears off in 3 hours), then would just become lethargic and sleep all night. It was great for a few weeks; then it stopped. Damn.
When I've been taking only Atomoxetine and I forget for a day, I start feeling awesome. Then I start feeling high as shit. I need this stuff, but maybe in a lower dose--I could feel awesome and be manageable, right? That'd be cool. Right now I can feel pain but not joy; I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me, but I motivate better with the dial turned a touch the other way.
Assuming this is important and the product works, then they can have a post-filtering stage at the sewage treatment plant where the clean water discharge first goes through a giant, turbulant vat stirring up many sheets of this stuff. That would be an extremely-fine-particle filter.
When a centralized design doesn't work, distribute. When a distributed design doesn't work, centralize. When both are practical and functional, take a layered approach.
Small particles can lodge in your intestinal vaginations and such, whereas large things will pass through. A lot of weird stuff happens when things change size and shape. For example: L-Methamphetamine causes vasoconstriction and acts as a nasal decongestant;
D-Methamphatemaine tilts a Methyl group toward the other side of the molecule, and so ends up binding to NET and DAT, entering the DAT and forcing dopamine out of the vacuole and into your brain, revving up your serotonin system, and generally screwing your brain all up. The 2,4-methyldioxy version (bind essentially H2CO2 to the phenyl ring) activates kappa-opioid receptors, makes you hallucinate, and excites your serotonin system to toxicity.
These aren't chemical reactions; these chemicals fit into the receptors by their shape, and stop affecting you when an enzyme alters their chemical structure to make them no longer fit. They don't change chemical structure to apply their effects, but rather they physically interact with neurons.
Come up from molecular-scale stuff and you get titanium oxide. Inhale a pea-size chunk and cough it out, no big deal (assuming you can cough the little rock out of your lung). Grind it up into a powder, you can rub it across your skin--no big deal. Grind it down to a nanometer-wide particle and it enters the cells, where it absorbs ultra-violet radiation and re-radiates the energy inside the cell, causing DNA damage.
Consider swallowing a penny versus a stranded copper wire... or a pin.
Actually, most pre-paid cards (Visa, AmEx, etc.) won't authorize things like gasoline purchases. There's a purchase code sent with every purchase explaining what kind of thing I'm buying, which means if I buy milk, toilet paper, and Loratadine at Rite-Aid and swipe my HSA card, the HSA card authorizes the Loratadine and rejects the remaining charge; then I swipe my credit union Visa for the balance.
You can't get a real credit card until you're 18. That card might actually buy gasoline--or booze. Hell, you could use the owner's birthdate (you have their identity) to determine if they're 21 and reject booze-coded purchases on that if you really wanted.
In my state, you have to be over 18 to purchase tobacco, and be 21 and present when mail arrives or when you purchase from a store to receive alcohol or anything containing Salvinorin A. That's not a whole lot of stuff.
There used to be cigarette vending machines. I don't understand why we can't accept BCWIC machines on credit card only. You can't have a credit card until you're 18; just lower the drinking age to 18 and let folks get beer, cider, and wine in cans so long as the machine is credit card only.

Isn't it 30 silver?

This is brilliant. You'd only have to unblock EME to watch a particular streaming service, and so could blanket-block ads!

You need the Silver version. It responds to anything remotely-similar to "Alexa."
"Alessa, turn up the thermostat." "Alena, what time is it?" "Aleppo, where did I leave my cat?"

I'm amazed they got 17 impressions. Was the campaign likely to get hundreds, or low-budget and picking up 2-3 a day?
These aren't washer sheets, they're dryer sheets.
