If this was ultimately about filtering content that effect the age rating of a production, the studios could follow the lead of the porn industry and produce "soft" and "hard" versions of the movies while keeping up the integrity of the story.
What's the free market solution to encourage studios to be willing to produce such family cuts?
What is the procedure to obtain a license from a motion picture's copyright owner to produce and exhibit the motion picture in "this movie has been edited for time and content" form?
Do I think that some borderline films could benefit from a "kids" edit? Sure. Do I think it should happen without the input of the originators of a work? No.
Then what's the appropriate market-based way to ensure that all "originators of a work" offer "input" on their "borderline films" to producers of edited versions?
An author is free to create a work. A subscriber ought to be free to create out the parts of a work that the subscriber doesn't want to view, including categories of parts listed by a service provider that classifies parts by category, and especially including categories that other legislation and regulation deem "indecent" or "harmful to minors" (such as 18 USC 1464, 47 USC 231, and foreign counterparts).
For the moment, let's assume that by "intellectual property" you meant copyright. What have studios done to show that their copyrights deserve more respect than the laws restricting dealing in works that are "indecent" or "harmful to minors", other than just existing?
For entertainment or information, I can download works over WLAN before I leave, and I can abstain from works published by companies that use a continuous connection solely for the purpose of digital restrictions management. Unlike cable, which allows 1000 GB/mo of high-speed data, unmetered cellular data plans deprioritize a user once the user hits 20 to 30 GB in a month. For communication, I can generally put off non-urgent communication until I'm at a landline or WLAN.
I concede that price comparison is more urgent than other information in that it directly depends on what I learn while I am out, such as what products are both in stock in a particular brick-and-mortar store and interesting to me. That's why I was asking what other sorts of urgent information are worth switching from 1000 GB/mo cable to 20-30 GB/mo cellular.
Most English verbs have a passive participle spelled the same as the past tense
I hate to burst your bubble, but "granted" is both the past participle and the past tense of the verb "grant". Either reading is grammatically correct.
I covered that. The reason we know it's a participle is that headlinese more often uses present tense, not past tense, for the main clause.
How about this? "Sure we can fix that. Here's a refurbished unit today. After you put in your password, all your applications and repositories will be restored within the hour."
As opposed to Staten Island English? Does English really differ that much among the boroughs of New York, NY?:p
it can easily be misconstrued as "Amazon has granted a patent"
Not if the reader is familiar with the convention to use present tense, not present perfect tense, on a main clause in a news headline. Under this convention, anything that appears to be in past tense is a passive participle.
Passive voice should be avoided
Yet you state this in passive voice.
as it adds unnecessary confusion to the point you're trying to get across, important verbs should not be left out of sentences.
Comma splice.
The same needs to be said about determiners (the, my, their).
The following headlines have the same length in characters. Which of them is clearer?
A. Amazon Granted a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Checking
B. USPTO Grants Amazon a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Che
To make a data plan worth my money, I'd need both price comparison and some other application. What are other common applications leading a cellular customer to upgrade from talk and text to talk, text, and data?
We desperately ned to get back to web-based applications. The latest web technology covers pretty much every need for a native app that I can think of.
Others who have posted comments to the article "Chrome To Deprecate PNaCl, Embrace New WebAssembly Standard" disagree with you. The consensus there is that HTML documents ought to be static and applications ought to be native. Web applications should work with script turned off, with interactivity through form submission interacting with server-side logic. Applications too rich for that paradigm should be written with Qt, wxWidgets, or a similar cross-platform framework, and distributed as source code under a free software license, with hobbyists taking care of ports to other platforms.
The size efficiency of a hello world program as simple as the one you're trying to exhibit depends heavily on which frameworks you use.
Let's take MinGW for example. MinGW is a port of GCC to Windows. The last time I was using it often, its linker used a system DLL implementing the C standard library, but its C++ standard library (iostream and STL) was statically linked. Using any part of iostream caused a couple hundred kilobytes of code to get linked into your executable, even with the -s option to not write debugging symbols.
// hello-iostream.cpp: 200+ KiB after linking in libstdc++ #include <iostream> int main() {
std::cout << "hello world\n"; return 0; }
// hello-cstdio.cpp: less than 10 KiB #include <cstdio> int main() {
std::fputs("hello world\n", stdout); return 0; }
Similar sizes were found for devkitARM with libgba, a homebrew toolchain targeting the Game Boy Advance. GBA executables can be either "cartridge", which run from ROM, or "multiboot", which run from RAM. Only multiboot executables can run on the GBA Movie Player flash card or on players 2 through 4 of a single-cartridge multiplayer game. And multiboot executables must fit into the 256 KiB of RAM.
The marginal cost of using 4G to check an online shopping site in store is $0.00.
Then application other than price comparison must have prompted you to pay the extra cost of a talk, text, and 4G plan compared to a talk and text only plan. What might this application be?
T-Mobile USA offers a $3 per month plan that comes with 30 outgoing or incoming voice minutes or sent or received text messages or a combination thereof, with 10 cents per additional outgoing or incoming voice minute or sent or received text message, and no data. I put off longer calls until I get home to my roommate's landline, which has unmetered incoming, local, and toll-free calls, and I put off longer text conversations until I get to a WLAN, where I use an instant messaging application.
I don't have a data plan at all, and not having one saves me hundreds per year compared to having one unless price comparison would make up for its price.
When cellular service costs $36 per month with data or $36 per year without, then yes, people will choose to make HTTPS connections over stores' open WLANs.
On T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan, I currently pay $3 per month for 30 minutes of voice, text messages, or a combination thereof. Does in-store price comparison save you anywhere near $32 per month?

The subscriber isn't doing this! A third party is doing it and charging for the privilege.
That's what I meant by this.

So let's go forward with this re-evaluation.
To make a data plan worth my money, I'd need both price comparison and some other application. What are other common applications leading a cellular customer to upgrade from talk and text to talk, text, and data?
I already have the data connection for other uses anyway.
What "other uses", may I ask? I'm trying to build a case for myself to upgrade from no data to data.

And this information is enough to ban the server's IP at the router.
Why would I EVER connect to in-store wifi?
Because your phone's 4G meter app shows "0 MB left".
I imagine that the terms of major movie studios' licenses to Amazon Video already requires Amazon to build technology to identify VPNs.
When cellular service costs $36 per month with data or $36 per year without, then yes, people will choose to make HTTPS connections over stores' open WLANs.
That doesn't require gigabytes of data.
It does require greater than zero data, which is what subscribers to a "talk and text" plan get.
Total Wireless has a 5 GB plan for $35 a month.
