Please explain the GDP impact of building out such infrastructure as well as specifics on how much it will raise the standard of living for rural and urban dwellers in the USA.
I don't have hard numbers, but rural high-speed Internet does mean that farmers won't have to drive an hour into town to upload large files to a crop consultant quite as often. This in turn means they won't have to wear down the roads, fund foreign oil barons, and pollute the air doing so.
The low Earth orbit satellite Internet that Mr. Musk envisions can be much lower latency than the geostationary satellite Internet from Exede that you may be used to.
If you have experience in this area, which Google Search keywords do you recommend to find reliable articles about running a successful crowdfunding campaign?
Ideally you could create as many sets of "contacts" as you like and define which set each app sees.
If a user has 100 contacts and 50 apps installed, the user would have to sit and make 5,000 decisions as to whether to expose each contact to each app. What user interface do you propose to accomplish this in a reasonable time?
The services work just fine on desktop systems without GPS. They'll just fall back to geo-IP databases. No big deal.
The operators of said services would adjust the heuristics for VPN detection to allow more false positives on desktop or on mobile platforms that can fake location.
"To continue using this feature, connect to the Internet. For advanced offline capability, subscribe to Offline Pack next time you're online."
They could do that now.
They already do that now, as in EA's SimCity, Nintendo's Super Mario Run, and any other video game that continuously phones home. My point is that if mobile operating systems allow users to fake offline status per app, this practice will become more common than it already is.
The featured article is light on details on the patterns used to determine whether a string is "in the format of particular API tokens or cryptographic keys." GitHub's page about "token scanning" likewise doesn't say much. A link deeper in the article to "git secrets" by Amazon gives regular expressions for Amazon API credentials but not those of other well-known providers. The actual regular expressions used are buried in Table III of a PDF linked near the end of the article.
Say a million users install an application. Do you think Twitter would appreciate a million requests to register a nearly identical application, differing only by internal timestamps and compiler optimization flags?
If you're using a key for user authentication, each user is going to need to generate their own key and you aren't distributing anything.
I'm talking about OAuth, version 1 or 2. The client ID and client secret in OAuth authenticate an application to a service so that the application can receive a session ID representing the user.

The problem then comes when a service requires that users be 13 to use the service but 18 to register as a developer in order to obtain an API key. It means 13 to 17 year olds are required to either use proprietary software or not use the service.
I'm interested in the algorithm that you propose that GitHub use to determine whether a 32-character alphanumeric string embedded in the source code is an API key or something else.
Say a desktop or mobile application distributed as free software in source code form acts as a client for some Internet service. How is the application's developer supposed to distribute the required API key to the user's machine without exposing it in the source code? Or is each user of the application supposed to apply for API keys for his or her own copy of the application?
I saw "autoplaying content (audio and video) blocked by default" in the summary and jumped into the usual test suite. All still played. To learn why, I read the featured article and found this:
Mozilla's main goal is to remove the annoyance of sound blaring from your speakers. On sites that automatically mute the sound, the Block Autoplay feature will not stop the video from playing.
This means autoplaying video in floating ads will continue to drain your computer's battery and your monthly Internet cap.
If I was shopping for a tablet I'd get the most storage for the least price.
A tablet that does not run the applications for which you bought a tablet isn't useful no matter how much storage you buy. Many paid phone and tablet apps and games are iOS-first if not iOS-only. If you just want storage and don't care about apps, you could always buy a USB flash drive.

The recording artist specializes in a musical style that is impractical to perform live, such as [...] forms of electronic dance music.
They can, you know, play in public.
How does one play electronic dance music in public? Do you mean DJing?
Users of iOS 2 bought apps for iOS 2, and those apps owned since iOS 2 (and updated since then) became the new lock-in center.

When have cities given a shit about monopolies with maybe the exception of ISPs?
Cities care about monopolies whenever a utility seeks permission to tear up city streets.
The app I currently work on uses a web view to let a user sign up for a service... that service is required to make the app work.
Which app is that, so that others reading this can assess its conformance to the App Store Review Guidelines?

Fortunately, ZDNet is not paywalled.
But what's an "app"? Is it the executable program built from a particular repository, or a particular installation thereof?

What kind of weirdo edge case are you making up?
An edge case that has occurred in my own circle of friends. I have relatives who joined Twitter before age 18.
Are you a pedophile?
No.

Expect to incur "cancellation penalties".
Why should I expect that , when absolutely zero streaming services do that today.
Amazon Prime gives a discount for annual billing compared to monthly billing.

(See also my previous thoughts on the API key matter)
So do we end up with Larry the Guy, Nathan the Guy, and Chip the Guy?
I may have been confused because the examples I linked were CSS, not JavaScript.
One could simply choose not to do business with companies that lock in their customers to walled gardens of licenced product ecosystems.
In some industries, choosing not to do business with those companies implies choosing not to do business period.
That last one will stop all animated GIF/PNG/WEBP from ever playing
Do these settings also prevent CSS-animated JPEG and PNG filmstrips like this one and this one from playing?
