If there is a fallacy then you need tell me your definition of an opinion or the widely accepted definition.
I can work with you if we have a common understanding but we're not at that point yet.

I can work with you if we have a common understanding but we're not at that point yet.
To me am opinion is a belief you have that's not based on facts.
Why do you want your government to have a belief not based on facts? Furthermore, why would you want the government to push this belief on its people?
Lastly why would you care about the opinion (remember: an opinion is a belief that isn't based on facts) of a corporation to the point that you'd defend their right to make statements that aren't factual?
You summed up my point with a single sentence I can agree with, can't argue there!
In your scenario what's the opinion Facebook has about advertising? I'm in favour of more bike lanes in my city but I don't consider that an opinion. Describing _why_ I'm in favour has an element of opinion but voting yes/no is not an opinion to me. Plus, any old why isn't good enough for an opinion. For instance, if Facebook says they're in favour of advertising because it helps them make money then I don't think I can consider that an opinion.
I suppose corporate slogans and mission statements are opinions (We believe the customer is always right) but it's hard for me to call that an opinion because are your values actually opinions? I would say that they can be formed using opinions but I would be reluctant to say they're opinions themselves because of the "strength" of them I guess?
You may have a chance to see justice because it won't matter if the cop and his 5 buddies say you provoked them with a camera. It's unambiguous that you can record them and there's no possibility of reasonable doubt if you're allowed to record them 100% of the time. There's no loophole they can use to say you can't record them due to privacy or safety or whatever other reasons they want to make up and they'll be in the wrong the second they take action against you.
Do you ever wonder why cops don't want bodycams on them recording 24/7? Their job is supposedly so difficult and dangerous (their words,) that you'd think they would want to show the entire world how difficult and dangerous their jobs are. Maybe people would agree with them about increasing their funding instead of calling to defund them if they had video proof of the difficulty and danger in their jobs instead of taking their word for it?
.. and people are replying to you and _still_ defending the government and think they should have unilateral power over their people
I'm kind of speechless about how many people think this ruling is a bad thing.. like who in the hell out there believes the government should have OPINIONS? Can one of you reply to me?
It's as stupid of a concept as a corporation having an opinion.. opinions are reserved for PEOPLE and I have no idea how you could come up with an argument to change my mind on that.
I've listened to the recording and it's obvious he was joking every time he asked for the $10 million. I want to know why you think otherwise and am asking for the exact timestamp where you believe his threat could be interpreted as serious. I honestly have no idea which part of the recording could be interpreted as a serious threat and I don't believe such a timestamp exists, hence my inability to find it.
In general, North American police are ignorant bullies who couldn't hack it through high school or college. Their maturity level is stuck in the past as well, usually never maturing past a 12th grade level.
It has a faster start, real world processes, terraforming and I believe is better than Factorio in every way. I consider Factorio a genre defining game and while Satisfactory and DSP comes close to surpassing it their 3d nature makes the game's puzzles easier to solve. Captain of Industry makes the puzzles just as difficult as Factorio despite having more dimensions. CoI has a lot more resources you need to manage as well.

If I could control it I'd be a pro bowler.
"if we killed everything we don't raise ourselves and we're the only living things in the world that have freedom"
Both replies to me completely ignored that nuance.
"If we killed everything we don't raise ourselves and we're the only living things in the world that have freedom"
I didn't mention specific plants/animals or #s we'd keep around because obviously we wouldn't kill what we require to survive.
I reject the premise that biodiversity is something we require to successfully live on Earth.
> We're just as natural as everything else on the Earth and I think it's weird to place ourselves outside the scope of nature or what's natural because we're more intelligent than everything else.
In other words: if we killed everything we don't raise ourselves and we're the only living things in the world that have freedom it would still be natural and we will still be part of nature. Humans don't transcend nature or what's natural.
The reality is animals provide a way of consuming resources efficiently that, sure, can be consumed by eating other plant based things but it's not as efficient as eating flesh.
For me, emotional arguments about why I shouldn't eat animals don't sway me very much because of the undeniable fact that we're the apex predator on Earth. I reject any moral argument that we're supposed to respect nature and other species because of our intelligence.
I don't believe we have a responsibility to other species and if we can get by in the world by enslaving all the animals and killing the rest that we can't I'm perfectly fine with that. We're just as natural as everything else on the Earth and I think it's weird to place ourselves outside the scope of nature or what's natural because we're more intelligent than everything else.
We're discussing more than if the WSJ, FT, and NYT allows ad blockers or not. We're discussing how stupid it is that a service shows ads in the first place for premium service people pay for. WSJ and NYT are only two examples.
We're discussing how there's precedent to pay for a service and still see ads and how it wouldn't be a shock if Google pulled the same stunt.
We're discussing concepts and ideas, not specific companies and their policies.
Furthermore, the link you provided has a section "4. PROHIBITED USE OF THE SERVICES" which is an overly broad section that reads exactly like Google's TOS and could be interpreted as banning ad blockers if NYT wanted to say that's its purpose.
Yeah but it's not against their TOS to buy the clothes and cut the logo out.
> Does your computer have an Intel Inside sticker on it?
Yeah but it's not against their TOS buy an Intel processor and take the sticker off.
> An Apple maybe?
Yeah but it's not against their TOS to buy an Apple laptop and put a sticker with a 4 pane window on top of the Apple sticker.
> Perhaps it's emblazoned with Lenovo.
Perhaps it is, but it's not against their TOS to put an IBM sticker over the Lenovo sticker.
> How about the car you drive? Does it not proudly display the manufacturer's logo? Did you ask the dealer to remove their stickers and plate surround?
Yeah but it's not against the TOS to..
Hopefully the point is clear.
Even on an easy house shot you're not automatically have a 200 average. You still need to have a good spare game. I guarantee throwing that one 250 game was more luck than it was the oil pattern especially if you were using a house ball. Going from an easy house shot to a pro sport shot is usually a 20 pin drop on your average if you don't know how to bowl the sport pattern which is only about 1 or 2 extra open frames in a game than normal.
I get that feeling that everything is going right and I can't miss strikes the odd time too but it's always because I'm better focused and not missing my spot. Bowling is more dependent on repetitions and throwing the ball the same way every time before you can even think about averaging 200+.
> Bowlers equate how good a place is with how good they bowl! They get angry and superstitious about everything.
This isn't true and it's not always superstition. Some houses score higher and that's true, but there's factors that go into that like the pins, how well they ricochet, the oil pattern, how well the pattern sticks, etc. there's a million reasons a shot plays different. Even humidity and ambient temperature affects the oil and you have to bowl different in the summer vs winter!
Casual bowlers will 100% rather bowl at a place with a higher score, but sometimes a house is just way too hard. It's frustrating as a bowler if you have a 195 average and another house you can barely carry 180 because it has a harder pattern. It's even more frustrating when they have a harder pattern and don't tell anyone. The pros usually know what pattern they're bowling on and can analyze it beforehand. I quit bowling at a house because my average was consistently 15 pins lower, and I needed a separate set of balls to bowl there to have any chance because they put too flat of a pattern on. It's not fun or helpful to bowl on conditions you won't encounter anywhere else because there's no room to improve. It's like learning custom made in-house programming languages and tools that don't exist outside of your company.
Two handed bowling isn't unfair and it's not easier than one handed bowling. I've tried it on multiple occasions but it's really hard to generate the speed required to throw 500+ revs.
Furthermore, if it was so easy everyone would switch it to because it's clear that it won't get banned.
Governments and companies everywhere trying to lock out small time people today before they get too much traction with AI generated content. They know indie devs will never be able to prove their model is only trained on their art. Only massive companies with billions of dollars can do that right now.
Every big company is trying to create rules to ban AI but keep a small enough loophole that they can use it when the time is right.
Why do I say that? They want the developer to prove they only used material they created to do the training and Valve has the resources to follow that rule unlike the rest of us.
The average person will put up with a lot of friction to use something they're familiar with and needs a lot of incentive to change. If your thumbnails fail to load every 10000 times or every 100000th profile picture upload fails most people will just retry and hope it works the second time, not find a different service or app to use.
Name one that does that in a 6 hour time period.
> It's not 20 minutes. It's 20 minutes more than the normal trip duration.
Tomato tomato. It's a negligible time period. Food out for 3 hours and 20 minutes is not going to be worse off than food out for 3 hours.
> Anyway, city traffic is not caused by people getting to a grocery store. That's all a red herring.
City traffic is caused by people driving cars. People drive cars to grocery stores.
City traffic isn't caused by bike lanes, buses, or trains either. That's all a red herring.

[0]> But fluid and traffic are not the same thing, as shown by 60 years of governments trying and failing to road-build their way out of congestion. The idea of induced demand – more road space brings more cars – has been known for decades, and it also works in reverse. This is especially so with bike lanes, which are such an efficient use of the same space that they can often mean the same amount of space carrying more people overall.
[1]> Yes, traffic jams have worsened in some cities where bike lanes have been built, but studies show this is largely down to other factors, for example the growth in the number of Uber-type private hire vehicles and Amazon delivery vans.

Thank you and apologies for all the questions! I'm very fascinated by this but not sure where to start. Is this part of the chain-of-provenance you spoke about?
Also wondering if you have anything helpful to share to learn more. I'm really curious about how the "consume" part works in practice. I was trying to get at a situation where someone fixes the RAM but doesn't update the inventory? Or if you lost your phone, do you have to report it lost to invalidate the manifest? I'm also struggling to imagine what happens when the RAM goes bad? Does that phone with bad RAM get a new signature? How does the phone turn from a phone that works into a phone with bad RAM digitally?

> I have a PornHub subscription that uses bitcoin. There's nothing speculative about it and it's completely legitimate. I've also used to to purchase indie games instead of giving Steam/Google/Apple/Epic a cut. I'm looking for a Spotify alternative and this seems to fit the bill and I'd give OP some bitcoin to check it out.
> Just because viable usecases don't exist today isn't proof that they'll never exist and isn't a reason to stop development. If we gave up on hard problems because we didn't solve them in 15 years we wouldn't have the AI we have today.
Can you please explain to me how my use of crypto is avoiding rules/regulations? I don't wish to be silly or have pretend intentions.
Is there a rule that says all developers have to put their games on Steam or Epic and accept local currency that I'm trying to avoid? Is there a rule that says developers can't sell their games for apples? What rules/regulations would a developer avoid by accepting apples as payment for their work?
Now extend this to people who are creating videos and want to create their an iOS app that will allow them to accept apples as payment. What makes crypto special?
Apple's 30% cut is not a real rule, I'm sorry. It doesn't bring any good in the world and it doesn't help anybody except Apple. Apple and Apple's supporters care about the rule but that doesn't make it a valid rule or something the rest of us have to sit back and accept. Using crypto to avoid Apple's fees isn't hurting anybody except the poor old multi-trillion dollar company named Apple. If you want to talk about people pretending let's talk about how many people pretend like Apple is a good guy or how people pretend like Apple cares about them on an individual level. It's as delusional as walking into a strip club and walking out thinking the stripper you paid $300 for a lap dance for loves you and wants to see you again because they care about you on an individual level.
It's also fully within someone's rights to put their foot down and fight Apple on this. There's nothing wrong with that and the US legal system allows for it. You can be a bully and tell people to pick up their ball and go somewhere else when they're in "your park" but one day someone is gonna punch you in the mouth and tell you to sod off when they see you let everyone else play there with different rules. Apple is going to lose their 30% cut in the very near future, they know it, and they're terrified.
