Sure, and why stop there? You might also e.g. bill/sue the author of a free software you invested time into learning because they are no longer providing free updates, rendering the software obsolete and your time investment wasted.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. By all accounts, YouTube is implementing countermeasures that block adblock users from watching videos on their site. What is functionally different between that and returning a 4

They're also free to build more serious adblock countermeasures into their website, which is exactly what they're doing now, and people are complaining about it. As GP said, maybe this is not your position, but it's a common

Another true entitlement is adblock users complaining that YouTube is greedy , etcetera, now that they're actually kicking said users off their site. You (in the general sense) are certainly not responsible for making YouTube's b

The whole point of isolating the keys dataset is that you can reason about it differently. You frame these "concessions" as dealbreakers, but I don't think that's supported. Can you explain why this dataset would need co

I find this comment rather baffling. Can you really not see what I'm talking about without having a concrete (and likely completely irrelevant to 23andMe's requirements) example spelled out for you in detail?

The keys dataset is going to be much smaller than everything else, and possibly immutable per customer. This in principle makes it much simpler and cheaper to handle, so it's easy to imagine how---depending on the scales and technologi

Despite Asimov's opinion on the matter, it seems that in reality the meta-analysis is a useful tool for understanding the de facto scientific consensus on some topic beyond the scope of a single paper/study.
