In the US, a certain set of rights are delineated by The Constitution, that is not a limit, just a baseline. But the minute rights become subjective objects of adulation there is no end... You wind up with people suing because their emotional support peacock was not allowed on a flight. You have a "right" to your support system? We have a right not to see. smell, and hear you nasty giant bird. Our right is a tangible thing(i.e. stinky bird and the absence thereof), your right is between your ears... you feel better. Any time you get into a "feelings hurt/offended" situation it's going to end up being turtles all the way down. What makes you feel good makes someone else sad or offends them... it's an infinite loop of imagined wrongs and slights. There is real social injustice. It is easy to spot. When you see something happening, thing about what your response would be if you were on the receiving end... if you get mad at the thought of it happening to you, it very well could be social injustice... or you might just need an emotional support peacock.
... A 14 year old doesn't need to know how to bit bang with assembly but a high level introduction may lead them down the road of wanting to know.
And that's it in a nutshell. I get asked all the time how I learned to do the stuff I do... if you WANT to do something and you have an internet connection, you will find what you want and learn how to do what interests you. Along the way you should discover your limitations, and if you are a motivated person, how to stretch those limitations into challenges. Challenges should lead to growth. Alas this is where things seem to be broken for some people, the "If you can't do it that's OK" mantra that has been used for the last twenty or so years. What we need to teach is "If you can't do it, figure out another way, if that fails, ask someone that already learned what you want to know". The problem is teaching a wrong attitude about accomplishment...
You just don't realize that we are laughing at people like you. You, Trump and Damore need to go into the dustbin.
If/. adopted the BSD code of conduct, your comment would be in violation at a minimum of "Unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices".
Wouldn't that be a violation of HIS lifestyle choice?
I just wish they would get a different term for the people doing the work... Every time I see or hear "Pirates Crack blah blah blah" I have this image of Johnny Depp lurching drunkenly around a bunch of hardware with a flagon of grog, exhorting his companions on to greater depths of digital skullduggery...
I've got a hunch there are some channels that they get paid to place in the lineup. If so, letting you drop those would actually hurt their bottom line. Then there are channels that cost them so much that they simply must charge everyone for them or they would not be able to offer them to those that do want them, due to costs.
Twelve or so years ago my buddy set up a SMATV headend for a new prison (rack mounted, one DirecTV receiver for each channel on the system) and I got to see the price breakdown. ESPN was far and away the highest priced channel, by about a 4:1 ratio. Also, in that case the total monthly charge for a channel was based on the number of beds, not displays. In other words, an eyeball based fee.
IoT may bring that fee schedule to us, instead of Dad yelling about the lights or the thermostat or the mobile phone bill it will be "Don't look at the TV!"
Some pretty good photos and streams hit TV as news but were in fact free Tesla/SpaceX advertising.
Also, I guarantee he will be the de facto record holder for "Owner of the Highest Mileage Tesla"!
The one thing that saddens me is the AAA policy requiring you to be with the car if you request service... No No No, if you see Ganymede you've gone too far!
While it is true that Wikipedia isn't reliable as a source the main problem is that a lot of sources that are considered reliable aren't.
Wikipedia is constantly updated. The error in the book you have in your library isn't.
It is not like Wikipedia strives for inaccuracy.
While this is true, sometimes the edits just relate to disinformation... both the spreading or correcting. A good example (and rare good use of twitter) is the "Congressional edits of Wikipedia" account: https://twitter.com/congressedits
But with replaceable batteries musical birthday cards could enter a whole NEW ERA!!! With e-ink, cards could be used many times. Just think of changing the cover art to a new JPG or even GIF. Next we allow the card licensee to sing and record or buy downloaded music from the card store. Of course your card will have internet access to assure no pirated content was used in the "redeployment" of the card... can't have you singing any Stevie Wonder hits without paying for them. But you could piggyback on the Internet of Cards by placing current sports scores or a favorite news feed on the back or even inside. Sure, in awhile Apple will produce the Must Have iCards (and change them every six months) but two thirds of us can just keep handing the same cards back and forth every year.
Your points are valid and nicely elucidated...
However I have to point out that many Grammar Nazis and other pedants chocked back a little sob when you didn't use irregardless...

I don't have a punchline. This is my punchline.
now that's funny right there...
But think of the possibilities!
Now that it has a standard OS, you can run emulators on it, maybe even a Switch emulator!
OK, but only if it's written in Javascript...
Hey, it's not like there's no precedent!

I'm more afraid of kernel AI anyway...
Oh I almost forgot:
Welcome!
You are not a human
and the first here.
...and the outcry is simply a ploy to destabilize Facebook?
OK...
looking for a downside...
still looking...
I give up.
Could fake news turn out to be good news?
There's an iPhone X joke in there somewhere...
I'm not paying $1000 to research it...

Doing something unrelated I stumbled across this map this morning...
https://www.webpagefx.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Top-Internet-Service-Provider-State-by-State.png It's from 2013 but I doubt that much has changed, name changes from mergers and buyouts notwithstanding...
Hey! They're doing pretty good given they have to stop and write their own press releases...
They can read my thoughts even through my tin foil hat? Wow!
You HAVE to upgrade to stay ahead of advancing technology.

Good thing I don't own an Echo. Though I have thought about buying an Echo string trimmer . . . . may have to rethink that one.
The same issue again, If your hat leaks they will plant thoughts about buying stuff!
