Many professional and collegiate sporting events and political news-and-opinion shows are exclusive to traditional multichannel pay TV (that is, cable and satellite). They are not available over-the-top on the Internet.
In addition, many cable system operators offer only lower Internet access speeds (per second or per month) to Internet-only subscribers. Someone who doesn't watch TV but wants Internet access faster than a pittance of GB/mo must subscribe to TV that he or she doesn't watch in order to become eligible to extend the cap. Want business Internet? Better form an LLC and get your house re-zoned.
Assuming that "Obama phone" means a phone issued to Medicaid recipients under the Lifeline program, which began under President Reagan and was expanded to cellular under President Bush: A Lifeline cellular plan probably includes metered voice and text and 0 MB data.
Many public library branches keep inconvenient hours. By the time you take the city bus from work to the library, it may have closed for the evening at 6 PM. Visit on a day off? The branch near me is closed Saturdays and Sundays from the weekend before Memorial Day until Labor Day. (Source: ACPL.info)
Sometimes one can phrase obvious consequences of a discovery as "specific practical methods." For example, if the discovery is that lack of substance A in the human body causes disease B, the discoverer might claim to have invented supplementation with A as a method of treating B.
In which case, people would complain that their banks are impeding legal spending of their own money.
Bank rep's reply: "We're declining what all banks in this country are required by law to decline. If you disagree with this decision, feel free to ask your MEP to amend article 27."
I've met some children in chat rooms that tell me they want to learn to program a computer, but their parents impose harsh screen time limits, such as six hours per week, even if all homework is complete or school is on vacation, and even if the child purchased the computer himself. If one of your children shows an interest in learning to program a computer, then at what approximate age would you allow enough screen time to make this practical?
If card payments, you would be dealing with a local canadian card processor, who would likely be dealing with american payment card companies (visa, mastercard etc).
Because these American payment networks also do business in the European Union, they are subject to EU jurisdiction. This means they can decline all card-not-present transactions from the Union until the merchant (that is, you) has notified its issuing bank of its GDPR compliance plan, such as who your internal data protection officer is and what agency within the Union you have designated as your representative.
Same with the ad agency, its up to them wether they want to target EU, wether they have a presence there or not etc.
If you use an ad network or exchange that does not target the European Union, then how will you receive any revenue from page views from within the Union? It will appear to your site as if users in the Union are using every ad blocker on the Store. Do you approve of use of an ad blocker on your ad-supported site?
In order that I don't have to cover every possible website funding scenario in my replies, how is the writing and hosting of your website funded?
there's nothing to stop people who are in the EU sending international payments to you wherever you might be.
Except the payment processor declining EU cards until the non-EU merchant notifies the payment processor of the representative that the merchant has designated pursuant to article 27 GDPR. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding what method of "international payments" you had in mind.
Nintendo's Super Mario Run follows the same shareware model as Idthesda's Doom, putting up the paywall after a few levels. If "teasers suggesting the purchase of the 'full' version of the app" are objectionable, then what's the least dishonest way for a game studio to both allow a parent to evaluate a game and keep a roof over the heads of its programmers and artists?
Now, if people would only publish a repo once the program was actually working and useful...
I'll assume "actually working and useful" means roughly the same as "minimum viable product". Is that what you meant? If so, I have trouble believing that you meant "don't back up the repository at all until the MVP is complete". Did you instead mean "pay Microsoft $84 per year to keep your backup private until the MVP is complete"?
Gates didn't violate antitrust law by bundling Edge with Windows 10.
The only difference between that and the behavior that prompted U.S. v. Microsoft and BrowserChoice.eu is that Internet Explorer wasn't called Edge yet.
I think at the time, bring-your-own-browser lacked strong support for several things: 1. offline use, 2. allowing the user to drag an entire directory into a web application for things like multiple-file search and replace, 3. launching local build tools natively, and 4. running a secure web server locally without having to buy a domain name and keep it renewed.
Since when can a non-Mac sign apps for testing on a physical device or for submission to the App Store? The free provisioning instructions require Xcode, which is Mac-only.
How is your Canadian website funded? If through subscription or a la carte payment, you are dealing with payment card issuing banks in the EU. If through advertising, you are dealing with ad exchanges that more than likely target EU users. If otherwise, please explain so I can describe how EU jurisdiction affects it.
Android does in fact scale up text and images on high-DPI displays, just as macOS and iOS do through Apple's Retina displays. My guess is that applications see 1280 by 800 CSS pixels, which get zoomed 150% to make 1920x1200. (A CSS pixel is defined as a nice round number of device pixels closest to 1/2700 of the viewing distance.)

Drive 200 miles on icey roads to use library internet, what could be the problem with that?
Don't live 200 miles away from books
Pay tens of thousands of dollars for real estate near a library to use library internet, what could be the problem with that?

By this analogy, should music in styles not quite suitable for live performance cease to exist?
If scientific discoveries were copyrightable in the way of music and movies
They are. The term of exclusive rights is just a lot shorter for an invention than for a work of authorship.

I'm not sure what you meant by that, so I'll reply to each of two plausible interpretations:
Idthesda's Doom
You might have noticed how they haven't made another
Doom II, Doom 64, Doom 3, and Doom (2016) exist.
Nintendo's Super Mario Run
You might have noticed how they haven't made another
Fire Emblem Heroes exists.

Has any evidence of this planned TOS change been made public?
I'm still confused as to why anyone would use Visual Studio Code or Atom (both massive Electron apps) when SublimeText is available?
To save $80 per seat per major version, especially if the U.S. Dollar is expensive where you live.

If you don't have a presence in the EU then you don't have to comply with any EU laws at all.
Then you can't take money from customers in the EU or from advertisers in the EU. See "Extraterritorial Scope of GDPR: Do Businesses Outside the EU Need to Comply?" by Imran Ahmad.
