true but GGP post was noting that "if you get rich off hoarding" which implies that you were transacting at some point, so I took the poster's presumed meaning instead of the dictionary definition.
If there really was a "theLegitBat.org" option I'd happily pay well over $5/mo I'd be (barely) in at 10x the price, and would be a slam dunk in at $30/mo.
Cool thing is if it was done right you could still do peer to peer in such a way that rights management (who gets what % of the total pie in royalties etc.) would be nearly transparent to the end users, and sure there would be piracy issues, but they'd be much less than now.
There is a reason my computer has no microphone unless I have my headset plugged in (and it's almost never plugged in), and when my company gave everyone an echo dot for christmas last year I immediately used it as a regift to my ex, such that the kids were able to give their mom a "cool" present that cost me nothing.
As others have noted, a compromised cell phone is much more obvious by means of battery life and thermals. Add to that the latest android allowing granular permissions (and having revoked anything I can) and I feel fairly okay about the phone (and I have OK Goolgle disabled from the lockscreen).
Let them fight it out in the courts one case at a time under FTC general trade rules and regulations. Allow the markets to decide.
ATT is already doing that in such a way as to kill the FTCs ability to regulate... (and won the first case). Once the appeal fails and the FTC loses the power to regulate while the FCC abdicates its power the duopolies are going to destroy the remaining ability to a free Internet in the US.
On the bright side municipalities may be able to make their own last mile connections, as there won't be an FCC/FTC to rule against them.
I've got to say, this sounds like willful ignorance from you.
Netflix pays its ISP for a connection to the Internet backbone. We pay Comcast for a connection to the Internet backbone. What bits are on those connections (*should*) have no meaning.
By the logic you're presenting Comcast should be trying to bill Level3 networks for all the traffic coming from their backbone customers, or CloudFlare for all the data they're sourcing into Comcast's network, but they don't. They are attacking Netflix because they compete with Comcast's offering and they know they can get away with it.
The on-demand service was packaged like Netflix or Hulu in layout, appearance, and scope of programming,
I still pirate some stuff because I can't get it on Prime or Netflix. I'll readily admit to being lazy and honestly pirating content is a PITA compared to just grabbing the remote for a fire stick and streaming content... but when the library of streams is totally missing the long tail that made Netflix (DVD) popular in the first place, then the alternative is piracy.
And in fact hoarding tangible goods like oil is actually a *good* thing for the market in many cases. Let's say the 1yr futures contract for oil is $100/barrel and today's price is $50. So, you use your currently available capital and buy a ton of oil to store in your tanks that you (own/just bought) and sell that oil on the futures market for $100.
In a year the price is $125/barrel, but you're selling at $100 (because you have to honor the contracts you sold) and thus you now reap a 100% gain on your initial investment, while still holding the proce steady on oil. Your gain has also helped the market avoid wild fluctuations and thrash. Of course if the oil is less than $100/barrel you make less money selling on the open market, and so it goes.
That Nasdaq is opening a futures market for BTC means that these wild swings we're currently seeing should smooth out quite a bit, and as a result BTC will (hopefully) become more useful as a currency and not just some bubble.
NASDAQ is introducing a BTC futures market in 2018. Futures markets have the effect of smoothing thrash and adding longer term stability to a commodity.
I get the linking disparate grids, but GGP was saying that it would be a single unified grid, so... that issue doesn't apply.
However, as I did decide that I should likely read up on it, I did.
Among the other benefits of HVDC: Inductive loss and charge coupling, particularly in undersea cables, but also just to the air (I presume damper is worse), so over genuinely long assed distances this adds up to a few percent less loss than HVAC. A few percent of a 25GW+ grid is a *ton* of power, therefore, the hassle of converting back to AC is worth it.
Why HVDC? DC is a bitch to convert between voltage and current, and it (generally) is more dangerous at any given voltage, though to be fair at transmission voltage levels it makes little difference if you're a DC or AC flavored charcoal lump.
I actually RTFA and the judgement by the arbiter too. Yes, it was mildly interesting, but TFS made it sound more like a termination rant rather than a clever hack.
My reference was to the siege, not that resource depletion was a new thing. In a traditional siege it was simply waiting out the opponent's stored provisions, there was little (if any) direct combat. a fully automated war would bring us back to little if any (human) direct combat, so would be again like a siege. Not the best analogy, but I think serviceable.
This actually was the case for another patient. They lost a poker bet and had to tattoo DNR on their chest. Discovered during intake for leg amputation, patient clarified "he indicated that he would want resuscitative efforts initiated in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest."
considering I liquidated about 18 months ago? high:) but since we're talking about magic glasses I would have a programmed sell limit order set for yesterday's peak.

That means there's something new... *boom*

Then we should welcome this particular case as it will likely clarify some aspects that are still open...
I didn't read it as damage control, I read it as "Realist".
Has there been *any* successful on first go for a new rocket design?
If it qualifies to be called a "Shrink Wrap License" then it holds water plenty fine. Just ask the supreme court ;)

resource depletion.
It would become the new form of the castle siege.
next~!
thanks, there is some argument as to if gawk or whois should be first...

ah, didn't think about that angle... and ooooh that's a tangled mess!
