No past-tense about it: Carmine (the coloring created from ground up cochineal bugs), even if Starbucks isn't using it, is still used in A LOT of food and cosmetic products, and many considered it safer/healthier than alternatives like Red #40.
Jayne is a character from a fictional setting. Equality Now exists in the real world, and I'm sure Adam Baldwin (who also exists in the real world) approves.
They only need to release the source code to the organizations they release the compiled code to. Just because Obama'12 gives their binaries (and source) to Clinton'16, doesn't mean they have to give their binaries to _everyone_.
Not quite. GPL relies on copyright. The only thing it changes is it requires you to release the source code to anyone who you release the program to. But you can still, by license, restrict who they can give the program (and therefore, the source code) to.
I'm the first to assume malice on the part of a label, but looking at those tweets... maybe they're just filtering out the ones that contain "explicit content"?
"There is a conservative consensus that our copyright law is ineffective. We can quibble on how to fix it, and that's important, but some of the parameters of the problem are very apparent to almost all conservatives with familiarity on the subject."
And I would say the exact same words, only with s/conservative/liberal/. Or better yet, s/conservative//. The only people opposed are the ones who continue to make gobs of money by having twisted the system to their own benefit, and those who lack familiarity with the subject.
Democrat Al Franken? Great guy, super-liberal dude, I love him. But all his former (pre-congress) coworkers and employers in the entertainment business (as well as his own royalty checks) have him decidedly on the wrong side of this.
Republican Daryl Issa? Total 180 from Franken, on every issue (well, except a carbon tax) so copyright is basically the only think I agree with Issa on.
Meanwhile? Democrat Ron Wyden has been the #1 guy on the right side of this. But outside this issue, him and Franken are almost a perfect match.
This is completely outside of conservative/liberal (or at least of Republican/Democrat, which is what matters.) Which makes me very pessimistic for the future.
I know this is meant to be a joke, and that I'm about to ruin it but:
A PLS works by taking a portion of the interest that would be paid to all savers, siphoning it off, and giving it all to one winner. But the government already has a way to siphon off everyone else's savings: create inflation. Which, arguably, it should be doing now anyway, so I guess you're right after all.
B.) Even if it's the world's most reputable (and expensive) dictionary app, why would it ever need access to your twitter account, and why would you give it?
