I disagree with the rebuttals, but along a different line of reasoning: 1) The article repeatedly leans on the concept that the municipal tax itself is insignificant and unimportant, that it's ability to grow or shrink is bounded, and

I don't think calling out 'society needs to care more' as bullshit means we collectively throw up our hands and walk away. It means we recognize that 'getting many people to coordinate on something' just plain isn&#

I mean, they're kinda wrong. You can care plenty about these issues but not see an actual way to have impact such that your concerns are addressed. If society isn't caring, then either society doesn't see why there's a c

NPS doesn't measure future goodwill (or present goodwill for that matter). Rationally it may have some correlation, but it isn't a silver bullet even when understood and used properly (which it often isn't). Instead you often

You've been pointed towards resources that answer all of the issues you've raised, but you haven't read them. Suffice it to say, the decisions do not agree that Google's behavior here is not relevant in determining how t

I didn't choose to mingle those things. That's just plain what the facts are. I get that you don't like them, but that's tough beans. The case goes into discussing this directly, indicating that Google's cleanroom e

There's a lot of similar responses regarding the API copyright issue. APIs have been 'subject to copyright' for 4 years, since the 2014 decision in this case. Lets see some key details: This is the 2012 ruling: http:/&

It may be helpful for readers to look at the actual meat and potatoes of the decision itself. I recommend jumping in at Page 27 of the decision so that they can see how the fair use factors were evaluated in this case: http://ww
