I was under the impression that there were places where no "full hook-up" is available for miles for months at a time. For example, a campground can close for the season.
FM radio was limited to about a few dozen channels per city, and they didn't typically play recordings by independent* artists, particularly in cities where the FM band was so crowded that the closest major secular college couldn't fit.
A surge in revenue without a surge in expenses necessarily produces a surge in profit. The featured article doesn't appear to mention expenses. So which expenses might have also surged?
Of course the best outcome is everyone goes indie and the RIAA dies quickly, but that's just a dream.
And here's why it's a dream: One of the common death throes of a dying company is copyright, patent, or trademark assertion. Once bands start owning their own compositions and recordings, the music publishers that share a parent company with the major record labels will start suing bands on grounds of accidental copyright infringement: "Your song sounds too much like one of our songs. Pay us." What's a good way to avoid such lawsuits other than becoming a licensed cover band or leaving music altogether?
To avoid "no true Scotsman" fallacies, please define "modern" first. I tried to use Google Search to find benchmark results, but "hosts" kept bringing up web hosting, and "APK" kept bringing up Android packages that can be installed through Unknown sources.

Name one site that uses ClarityRay, detects a browser add-on and blocks it.
I know of three popular sites that use ClarityRay-like scripts: WIRED, the INQUIRER, and The Atlantic. All three of them admit that they can't tell the difference between tracking blockers, such as Ghostery, Disconnect, and Firefox Private Browsing, from ad blockers.
On Slashdot, one common answer to "We can't get good Internet out in the country" has been "Then move." So until the U.S. Congress figures out how to crack down on telcos taking rural Internet subsidies and pocketing them, urban farming will remain the only way people can grow food while retaining practical access to information services that have become a necessity over the past two decades.
So what place is good for both growing food and connecting to the Internet? US rural Internet access is often harshly capped, be it fixed cellular, satellite, or even DSL in parts of Iowa.
I thought the owner of a Chromebook still needed to turn off OS verification in order to install and boot Linux-on-bare-hardware on said Chromebook. I admit that I haven't bought a Chromebook myself because of blog posts that I've read about this behavior. Can you link to a page describing how to install Linux-on-bare-hardware that boots without prompting the user to wipe it?
When I ask people to define "UI sucks", the serious complaints about GIMP's user interface that I've read boil down to these:
1. New installations do not default to single window mode. 2. Though tools in the toolbox can be hidden (Preferences > Toolbox), multiple tools can't be grouped to save space. A group should display the most recently used tool from that group and a down arrow. Clicking should choose the display tool; context menu should display a pop-up menu listing all tools in the group.
I'd be interested to know about a serious third complaint.
And if you hate it so much you can wipe the drive and do everything with your own version of Linux...?
And then the thing will beg you, every time you turn it on, to wipe GNU/Linux and reinstall stock Chrome OS. At "OS verification is off", you can press Ctrl+D to continue booting. But someone else who turns on your developer mode Chromebook is unlikely to know this and will instead press Space as prompted, then press Enter as prompted. The latter begins a wipe, causing you to lose all work that has not yet been pushed to your backup or version control as well as the use of the laptop until you return home where you keep your GNU/Linux reinstall media.
With the speed of light through fiber, no one should ever see a ping above 300ms to anywhere in the world.
Even to places where there's no fiber connection? In a lot of places, the only route to the Internet with a throughput greater than the 0.15 Mbps of IDSL is through a satellite in geostationary Earth orbit, 36,000 km up. An ICMP ECHO request from a subscriber to a satellite ISP, such as Exede, needs to go up to the satellite and down to the destination network, and its response needs to come out of the network and then go up to the satellite and back down to the subscriber. That's 0.12 light seconds for each of four legs, already nearly half a second, plus whatever latency is in the destination network.
When the user registers while connected through MITM, the MITM impersonates the server to the user and the user to the server, providing the MITM's public key to the server instead of the user's. Then each time the user logs in while connected through the same MITM, the MITM contines to use its own keypair instead of the user's to respond to the server's challenge.
If that doesn't make sense, then could you summarize what information is sent?
I imagine that part of the problem is that Windows Vista was the first to support hardware acceleration features that make rendering complex CSS layouts tolerably fast, such as Direct2D and DirectWrite. In addition, because of changes to the behavior of the NT kernel, sandboxing features may need special case behavior for Windows XP vs. later versions. (Windows 2000 and XP use NT 5, and Windows Vista, 7, and 8 use NT 6.)

Even if moving is expensive, it can still be less expensive than not moving.

* Not everybody defines "indie" the same way. Lately I lean toward ceoyoyo's definition: a work's creation and promotion are financed without venture capital.

TVs are often locked into only downloading and installing apps from Google Play and/or their own branded app stores.
Locked how? Last I checked, Google required adb install to be usable as a condition of allowing Google Play Store and other Gapps onto the device.
With the exception that far more PC games support mods.
Until you discover that your backups are also infected.

In the case of Julie Bass's vegetable garden, Oak Park did end up dropping the charges.
On Slashdot, one common answer to "We can't get good Internet out in the country" has been "Then move." So until the U.S. Congress figures out how to crack down on telcos taking rural Internet subsidies and pocketing them, urban farming will remain the only way people can grow food while retaining practical access to information services that have become a necessity over the past two decades.
If "loaning" specifically means lending through a financial instrument called a loan, then all loaning is lending, but not all lending is loaning.
Google Search shows over 12 million results for the phrase "vegetable garden".
Another guess is that "farming" has a connotation of energy-rich grains and soy as opposed to micronutrient-rich vegetables.
So what place is good for both growing food and connecting to the Internet? US rural Internet access is often harshly capped, be it fixed cellular, satellite, or even DSL in parts of Iowa.
Julie Bass was threatened with jail for growing a victory garden.

Someone behind an authoritarian nation-state's MITM would probably have created the account while in the same country.
Where is this dysfunctional universe? I would like to avoid it.
You'd probably want to avoid finance, the military, or intelligence.
Please allow me to clarify:
When the user registers while connected through MITM, the MITM impersonates the server to the user and the user to the server, providing the MITM's public key to the server instead of the user's. Then each time the user logs in while connected through the same MITM, the MITM contines to use its own keypair instead of the user's to respond to the server's challenge.
If that doesn't make sense, then could you summarize what information is sent?
Then how should a part-timer recoup this $500 per year expense?
updates usually have version numbers and version numbers have a tendency to increase.
Then why increase the major version number rather than the patch level? There's a difference.
