What I’d like to use is an app just like MacPaint on the iPad, I haven’t seen anything even similar.

How can they even enforce this? What happens if you run a plattform in let's say Germany and just tell them to fuck off, UK Law is of no interest to me.

It’s a damn liability. You take a plane to New York, but for some reason, it gets emergency diverted to Heathrow, and you end up arrested.

I think they will try to make this new company have some kind of success (real or fake) and then seek a pardon from Trump. I have no proof, but no doubts either.

If you search for images of "moore's law history", the y-intercept of the vast majority of the charts is 1969-1971.

Could the microprocessor explain, in part, the divergence of productivity and wages?

I believe it is the most plausible explanation. Microcomponent electronics and later microprocessors made workers more productive.

From the abstract: "The burial is explained as a composite Neolithic burial that was reworked 2500 years later with the addition of a new cranium and grave goods."

The hypothesis here would be that the assembly was originally created in the Neolithic period, but that it was later modified with new bones in the Roman period.

So the assembly of the bones wasn’t during the late Neolithic? Go figure!

“Whether the assembly of the bones occurred in the late Neolithic or in the Roman period, the presence of the ‘individual’ was clearly intentional,” write the researchers.”

I would like the researchers to explain to me what hypotheses they consider to suggest that in the Neolithic they had bones from the Roman period.

Never, but never, in any situation should you give a police officer a turned-on mobile phone. First, turn it off and then hand it over. It’s as simple as saying, “Hey Siri, turn off phone,” and then confirming. Once this is done, the phone is indistinguishable from a brick in terms of stored information. If you hand it over turned on but locked, there are several police devices that can unlock it and copy the information it contains.

Looking at the figures, this means that a band would need to have more than 120,000 plays daily to earn the equivalent of $15 an hour for a 40-hour week. (If my back-of-the-napkin math is correct based on the article saying that 661,400 plays daily earned a potential $3,307.20.)

I've little sympathy for Spotify and the rest _but_ this scheme -- if I understand how Spotify pays out -- reduces payouts to other folks. I don't know if society is well-served by sending him to prison, but he should definitely be penalized somehow until that money, plus damages, is redirected to actual artists.

Wrong by one order of magnitude. 12000 plays per day. Not so difficult.
