No, they only call it that when it's an opinion they don't like.

Once you download an MP3, you should protect it as you'd protect anything else you purchased instead of expecting that it would be available to re-download indefinitely.

No, I'm not claiming that bank account balance itself is an indicator of anything. But when there are a bunch of other indicators, and I see my bank account balance going down (and I know I'm not alone on that) I'm not partic

The economy may not have been "in good shape" in 2020 (and I would agree that it was not) but we're talking specifically about a recession here. By no measure were we in a recession in 2020.

But when you give back the $8, you just need to tell them that "bank account growth" only matters week to week. Boom, they're now $8 richer thanks to you!

The hoops that they have to jump through to try and prove that it's not a recession basically prove that it is. "But this team of eight economists hasn't voted to say it's a recession!" Great, can they tell that to

Whether the tool should or should not be necessary is an entirely different question. The reason it is necessary is because it enabled writing "CSS" in a way that it was never meant to be written. And as evidenced by the blog po

Nobody's saying it can't be done. They're simply questioning whether it should be done, since we have tools that solve this problem already. It's not giving us anything we don't already have, and so the value prop

I think you could argue that Helium is not making "the Service" itself available, since it's not providing an actual Internet connection as a Wi-Fi network would. The only thing using "the Service" itself is the Hel

If you take this absurd position to it's logical conclusion, nobody forced you to travel in the first place. Therefore, you can't complain about anything related to travel, ever.

Even if the SEC structured these payments, I highly doubt they'd be under $10k each. It would take way too long.

Funny how people seem to bring it up as if it matters. He was President for four years, so he's got an actual record to be judged on. The fact that he had his own reality TV show before that is irrelevant.

I am not saying that a man should be able to force a woman to get an abortion. I am 100% against that, just to be clear. But I also don't believe that carrying a child in her womb for nine months should mean that a woman can force a ma

How about the scenario where the man wants the child, but the woman doesn't? Do you not see the absolute imbalance here, where the woman gets to decide everything? If the man bears some responsibility (and he absolutely does) why does

Yes, but that support is limited to playback. All it does is pass the Dolby Vision metadata to the output, which means you need a Dolby Vision display to actually use it.

Dolby Vision is a proprietary format. So unless Dolby develops something ( highly doubtful) then it's unlikely anything will be developed. It would be incredibly complex, and almost certainly lead to legal action from Dolby.
