"Conversely, continuous CR has also been associated with depleted circulating leukocytes, immunosuppression, and reduced bone density (Devlin et al., 2010; Ritz et al., 2008; Tang et al., 2016; Villareal et al., 2016)." (CR = calo

>If Amazon added an animation to the existing audiobook content - making it a video - and then added captions would that be OK? AFAIK, they would have to obtain prior permission from the copyright owner before re-distributing a modified

EULAs and those kinds of agreements have their own legal problems with how they can be enforced, so its best not to complicate things here ! >I should mention this looks like an extremely vague distinction, and it's not even mutuall

>If Amazon provisions the AWS VM for me, and runs the same software there, and then transmits the results back to my device for my own use, is that fair use? Did Amazon do it out of their own volition, or did you instruct them to do it?

The difference is that audio-books is a separate product category with its own pricing. Embedding text in a video is quite different IMHO...

Its not that people don't respect it, its that they don't appreciate it. And the reason they don't appreciate it is that those things are invisible to the end user. How much extra money would you pay for an electrician or a m

But why would you want anyone to have to pay anything? Google is one of the richest companies. This should be simply the cost of doing business. Google wants to make money by removing humans completely. They should have to pony up the expen

Hmm.. has anyone ever been sued for adding captions? I don't see how they would.. as far as the end user is concerned, the captions are embedded into the video, are not a separate performance or a product. Not exactly analogous to audi

You are conflating agency of action with the means of action.

If you want to break the law, then of course anything is possible. In any case, all you are doing by pirating is telling the media companies how badly you want their product. That is going to tell them to fight harder against piracy. The on

I have no "position", what are you even talking about? You introduced a claim in this conversation. It would be nice to have the data to back it up, but sure, you can feel or think whatever you want. If you don't care to defe

That is just psychology. You can deny it, but its still there. You can try to shape it, and cover it up with prim and proper etiquette, but its still there. A thousand years of civilization has nothing on a hundred thousand years of caveman

Other than assuming his accusations are flawed, how else would one "take into account" his motivations?

Um, you can do the same with a memory card. Ask someone who knows. (Also, you can buy tires online)

Which part are you having trouble with? Seems very simple and straight forward to me. Your "ordinary people" comment doesn't mean much TBH. It is no different than buying a tire, you have your speed rating, section width, loa

Well, you were the one who said it was a cop-out. Are you not of that opinion any more? IMO, the culpability of the manufacturer should be zero for general purpose tools. For things like guns/weapons, which were invented solely for kil

Without using a bias or metric, there is no way to filter a list of items. The only other option is randomness, and there is a notion of fairness to it, at least mathematically. Maybe the list could be 5 options chosen randomly. As long as

Computers aren't "just tools", you can use them to stalk people online, harass them, hack into computers, etc, etc. Maybe Dell should be checking your mental history, criminal history before selling you a computer too? Just b
