The FAA's goal is to prevent aircraft related accidents. While you may not agree about the sharpness of their pencils or the color of their uniforms or some other tangential nonsense, flying is insanely safe in America because of them

Boeing fucked up, not the FAA. The FAA is the one preventing Boeing from flying these planes because they're not safe!

I'm generally blown away at the audacity people have to suggest casually changing any FAA regulation, considering how good they are at their jobs...

You're right, none of this is in question, because copyright laws exist. Are you from the moon?

> Our society is based on the idea that the public in fact does have an entitlement to all IP except trademarks. You need a citation to demonstrate that you aren't entitled, legally, to all IP? That's sad.

No it's not and no it doesn't. You are 100% wrong.

Yep there it is; I don't feel bad because I'm hurting bad people. Thank you for saying it, but it's no excuse.

Why should I care about any of that? I just want to watch 30 Rock, not run an A/V store.

You could run it off of a laptop sitting in your closet and be able to support 3-5 simultaneous users no problem. It'd be a benefit if you had 1GBPS symmetric fiber, though. But yeah, RPi is rough because you do need legit CPU to tr

Sorry, I'm not, and there simply is no moral argument for pirating content, because no , if you believe in intellectual property, the is nothing whatsoever different about stealing a laptop and downloading a movie. If you believe in

Works great, until you realize the "alley" is a metaphor for doing something that harms the content creators...

That's the rub; it's not showing in the park, because that's only possible if the park got permission. It's being shown in an alley

The internet is a free space, but so is reality; there's nothing actually physically preventing you from walking into a store, grabbing whatever you want, and walking out. You're not violating the laws of physics if you do that,

I agree, I don't think the individual pirates are ever going to be in any real trouble. HOWEVER, while it's impossible to find every person who improperly listened to a concert without paying for a ticket, it is not impossible

I would suggest armoring our cars if it were anything but absurdly impractical. Getting to know yourself better, and understanding how bullying is a projection of others, and not related to who you are as a person is immensely practical.

You couldn't be more wrong. You do not have an entitlement to intellectual property, our entire society is built on top of that concept. It's more like you're saying you get to use any logos you want because you can downlo

He's (possibly) overselling his accomplishment here a little bit. You can achieve what he's describing using a combination of Plex, Sonarr, Jackett, and a private torrent site. You also need a torrent client that can work with S

A lot of "ought" in what you're saying, but there's a stark reality that clashes with that ideology, and it's how little you can control others. You shouldn't have to deal with people being assholes, so when th

Because a) it is the state of the world, and dealing with reality is important to living a healthy life, and b) controlling how others effect you is a tried and true way of maintaining happiness when you're not in control, which you ra

An assumption is a prior, which necessarily means it can't be challenged, as in there is zero doubt about it, in the given/specific conversation. Also, as a smell, when you say "I think most people" you're often j

Real ID is completely different from this, it's totally unfair to compare the two.

Fine, then adults need to learn how to handle a bunch of anon/pseudo-anonymous trolls piling on. Myself probably included.

We the people? No. Pass a law first before you claim "we the people" want anything. And "we the people" wanted internment camps for the Japanese, and believed in the racist philosophy of Manifest Destiny, so maybe &quo

The Facebook breakup is vindictive. What monopoly do they hold?

Yeah the "if GET" code raised my eyebrows a bit, I know rails can handle separate GET and POST funcs.

by diminoten 7y ago
Would it help you to replace those phrases with, "Let's assume" because that's basically what they're saying, in a way.

Lots of clicks but no inquiries might mean the hook is solid but the actual pitch is lacking. Could you post the pitch here, so we don't have to log into fiverr to see it?

The key difference here (well a key difference) is the coaching. Having a 3rd party who isn't your boss (the competition) or you who looks out for your longer term health and ability is incredibly valuable. In software, I guess we

Times like these I have to remind myself that it's never the right thing to do to punch a Nazi, but boy would it feel good (metaphorically; literally physically punching a Nazi/anyone is probably not something I have in me). Hones
