Should I be able to make wild claims about my product to trick you into buying it? False claims about my buisness performance to pump the stock? Lies about your character? Your kids? made up stuff that whips up entire segments of your city

It’s not that your friend “woke up” it’s that his BAC dropped enough for his brain to start correctly forming memories again not that his consciousness “came back online”. It never went away just that no memories were formed during that tim

If I lie about you or your company in my newspaper causing you financial or other harm should I not face consequences such as a lawsuit or should I be allowed to destroy your life consequence free because I feel like it? What about if I lie

I’ll chime in as one of them (and in every thread about this many more people do as well) - it’s one of the many things I like about an iPhone, the tighter control and gate keeping Apple does on the App Store. I like not having to worry so

Leave it up to the courts to decide. It seems to be the only place that the truth matters now. If you cannot reasonably prove you acted in good faith - or cannot prove you did not knowingly make false statements it’s (and now that they are

the apple chips are so much "better" for a bunch of different reasons including the coprocessors but the biggest being the move to the ARM instruction set vs intel's x86 - Intel can not make that change for their main set of

fwiw i am a fan of azure resource IDs as they make it easy to identify what and where a resource is vs a random magic string you have to go look up

Did you read the link? The commercial was using a tom waits song sung by an artist who impersonated Tom waits and the folks involved discussed the potential legal implications and did it anyways.

If the car is putting out to much EMI to make it expensive to put that 10$ radio into the dash with the FM one the handheld will be just as useless.

People who don’t live in these areas often drive through them to get from point a to b. Personally I think it’s pretty ridiculous for cars to be removing it and it’s taking a law to force them to keep am radio But that’s besides my point
