AFAIK, there is no requirement to gather release forms from someone you happen to film in public. It is simply something done to reduce exposure to possible civil liability on commercial shoots. Avoiding lawsuits is the point of those forms

Two reasons. One, yes they have gotten more efficient, and depending on your local climate, are now possibly the most efficient method for heating your home. Two, the switch to renewable energy is resulting in a push for the “electrificatio

I used to work in fine art printmaking. The weird thing about signing blank paper before the prints are done is that usually not every print in a run will make it into the final edition. If you are doing say an edition of 100 prints, you wi

I have fond memories of the Netflix DVD service. In high school, I would get a disk, immediately burn a copy, and return it the same day. I could get about 20-25 DVDs a month on the 3-DVD plan this way. Since many DVDs were dual-layered but

This is about where I'm at. I was an art major and spent my time working in contemporary art until switching careers to programming via a bootcamp in my 30s. If I could go back and do it all again, I don't think I would a CS major

Sure but, there are plenty of jobs with the qualification of "randomly selected undergraduate major", and English is just fine for that.

Ripping CDs was common practice back then, in addition to all the piracy you mentioned. I'm pretty sure iTunes had a built-in feature for it.

Why does it seem crazy to you? Here's what likely happened -- they built the entire system from the ground-up based on a single-user because integrating with iCloud family wasn't part of the MVP. By the time someone got around to

I really hope the next Macbook Air supports multiple external monitors, that's the only thing holding me back from it right now. I know there are DisplayLink solutions but not sure how well they would work.

There are a bunch of open-source projects out there that automate away the hassle of piracy. Just look at radarr, sonarr, etc. Combined with media servers like Plex, you can grab any content you want to watch with one click.

From my read, the solar company delivered late, causing the original loan to fall through and requiring the homeowner to refinance at a higher rate. Since that delay cost money it does seem fair that the company should bear the cost.
