From what I've heard, it was mostly the mask manufactures that ramped up production that were doomed since they made large investments and now demand is back to nothing and Chinese imports are back. The real winners were those who alr

But if it spilled or something, you'd just go to the store. You wouldn't fly home.

Because German inspectors aren't appreciably worse than US inspectors? (and probably more stringent). If you took your baby on vacation, you wouldn't starve them until you got back right?!? Same logic here.

In word, Cntrl Shift V just applies formatting. You have to Ctrl V wait hit Cntrl again and then hit T.

I'm surprised 29% even make tenure track. I wonder what % get tenure.

That's why IP licenses usually have a termination clause for failure to pay licensing fees and often have a non-transference clause. And for real assets you keep a "security interest" that allows you take the proceeds of the

Purposely filing notices as a protest is indisputably bad-faith. That's not going to set any precedent against bad-faith notices with a veneer of plausible deniability.

My power company sent me a power strip that has a somewhat similar feature. It constantly powers the TV, but the rest of the strip is turned off when the TV is off. It's so you won't waste power having Roku, etc., always running

My keurig would keep it hot for weeks. How much energy that actually wasted, I'm not really sure.

I'm saying that allowing A to advertise on twitter doesn't prevent B from advertising on twitter.

Right. The vast majority of people rejecting global warming are doing it for irrational reasons. But Twitters rule would also exclude earnest differences of opinions. During law school, my class had a talk that included a tenured climate sc

Allowing one side to advertise doesn't mean the other side doesn't get to "put their position forward."

I've been incredulous to this stuff for 15 years, but violating rules I was incredulous about 5 years ago would be fired and black listed from my industry now. Maybe the pendulum will stop or swing back, but "that's not going

I think they've over-interpreted their viewing data. Seems like they concluded that viewers spend most of their time watching garbage filler, which is probably true. But they shouldn't presume that each viewing hour is equal to th

A better example is theft of services. If you sit down at a barber's chair and then walk out without payment, we all consider that stealing. But no property was actually deprived--just wasted effort.

It's not easier. I've got a BS in EE and am old enough to have downloaded episodes of the TV show 24 over 56k using early BitTorrent. I've successfully set up plex (which requires an in house server/spare pc), sonarr, ra

It's not highly competitive, but you can buy cable TV service from satellite companies or IPTV streamers and you guy telephone service from mobile carriers, the "phone company," and the cable company. In most urban/subur

Cheaper, lighter, more than strong enough, and they don't conduct electricity.

>It used to be that if you wanted to watch a movie, you opened up Netflix. I don't recall Netflix ever having a good movie catalog for streaming. It's TV catalog used to be amazing though, but that was because they were essenti

You are in a bubble if you think the average netflix subscriber knows how to download using bittorrent or usenet. And did those who knew and were inclined to pirate ever really stop?

Apple is throwing around insane money for top talent and is trying to hit it out of the ballpark on each swing. Netflix used to be that way too. But now it is trying to play moneyball.

It's also hard to create the second generation of copycats since you are in copy of a copy territory. I'll watch Ozark since its Joe brand Breaking Bad. But a copy of Ozark will probably suck.

USD only does down since 1971 too. I think the UKP was on the gold/silver standard until recently too.

by rhino369 5y ago
Some of that is just that inflation fundamentally changed when we floated the dollar in 1971. We now purposely try to inflate our currency 2% every year. Before then there was inflation and deflation, but not a single trend. A dollar in 18

They might also have found that people just want sugar water. A lot of mass market food products get bastardized by being made blander and more sugary.
