Not exactly -- they used CGI to reproduce young Carrie Fisher while she was still alive.

... fascinating. There's no way that's easier than replacing the battery or even the detector itself. Why suffer through something so trivially fixable?

No. What possible reason would they have for charging a child?

Pay them the difference then.

> But so is writing a will for a friend, or giving free flu shots to the neighbor's kids.

How are those things ethically questionable?

One of them syncs your tabs and bookmarks, and the other one syncs you tabs and bookmarks and can create stronger links with their already extremely prevalent browser tracking technologies which they then can tie in to their analytics on your email to support their largely advertising-driven, for-profit enterprise?

> I and most of my friends had unsupervised internet access.

I don't know how old you are, but personally (in my early 30s) the internet of my youth was pretty vastly different than the internet of today, i.e. as you say:

> And guess what? 99.99% of 90s kids didn't use webcams.

Well now most kids have a high quality webcam in their pocket at all times.

Interesting that 2 success stories in this space (the other being WhatsApp) are built on Erlang/OTP.

Ah, optimizing for maximal sanctimony. Interesting concept.

Like I said, I think the article is a bit confusing by using the term 'spoofing', which to you and me I think implies a 'fake' message.

My car has this feature and I quickly learned that it only unlocks if you put all 4 fingers through the handle. So to check if it's locked I just give it a pull with 2 fingers and the unlock doesn't trigger.

You are misunderstanding how the attack works (probably because the article misuses the word 'spoofing' IMO). The messages between the car and the key fob are the real messages. They are just using a radio to extend the range of the car/fob communication.

Unlike indoor arenas, it doesn't look like this is much of a revenue stream for most football stadiums. For instance, I checked Arrowhead Stadium (Chiefs) has 2 non-football events scheduled in the next year. Heinz Field (Steelers) has 1. Despite being in Nashville, Nissan Stadium (Titans) has 3.

> Cleaners and car washing are pretty commodity though.

You'd just let a random person who signed up with an app into your house to clean?

The case I most often encounter is "oh, you liked x? I'm sure you'll like every remix of x for the next month of your discovery weekly!". Technically not the same song.

As someone who also grew up in the 90s, all the cool kids had these things.

Your comment is visible so you aren't (anymore at least).

While this can be annoying, I don't see what it has to do with copyright. Can you elaborate?

> 2 extra people

> giant weekend party

Hmm my frame of reference for 'giant party' must be different.

> We also are vehemently anti-religious and would never support an institution like marriage for that reason either.

Just curious, do civil unions not exist where you are? I kind of assumed in my mind they were a pretty normal thing at this point.

But ground and maintenance staff don't need to identify them by colour from far away. For them, you could rely on simple signage.

> I get that big companies are not your friend, but is it really necessary to wage total war by using all possible legal advantages and issuing ultimatums?

I think when you're facing a large entity and their thousands of dollars per billable hour legal team, it makes sense to leverage any advantage you can.

> Is it... paying more so people don't have to choose between their country and financial security?

I don't think many software developers in Canada are facing that choice. Is there the opportunity to be 'more' secure in the States? Sure. But being a developer in Canada is hardly a bleak proposition.

Quick'n'dirty run down:

Income tax: province/territory and federal levels Consumption tax: government level (5%) + provincial level (most provinces/territories) (this is close-ish to VAT) property tax: municipal/provincial, like council tax health care cost varies by province/territory.

Income tax has definitely not doubled. It's unchanged at the federal level.

In the context of the article "better" = tastes most pleasing (to the author)

Also Model T, of course. But interestingly, there was also a Ford Model S as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_N)

They met through the university's group, but they created their own chat.

No, this is not true. The top paid players in professional hockey are almost all high-scoring forwards.

4 of the top 50 highest paid players in the NHL are goalies.

Wisdom teeth removal can be very harsh. It depends greatly on how they've grown in. My wisdom teeth, for example, were a simple tooth extraction under local anesthetic.

I don't think 'authenticity' is that simple. I'm a Canadian, I love hockey and have a pretty good understanding of it. I could make a 'hockey stick' shape out of plywood and paint it up to look good, and you could even in theory use it to smack a puck around, but its still not an authentic hockey stick.
