> Speculating, but TOS generally say that you're not allowed to share your password with anyone. Assuming that's true for the AA site, AA might argue that TPG is encouraging users to break their TOS ("tortious interference").

They specifically claim it's presenting something that is intentionally confusingly similar to an official AA logon screen using copyrighted and trademarked AA content to harvest customer username and password info, does not prominently note it's nonaffiliation with AA, and directly violates the TOS itself, as well as arguing tortious interference, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and violation of the CFAA and the Texas equivalent.

They also note a similar dispute settled with a separate firm owned by the same parent before TPG tried to negotiate a deal with AA for permission to access customer data for this purpose and was turned down.

I’m with you here. While I don’t have the same issues as you, Apple Music sometimes feels like a beta version to me. Spotify does too, sometimes.

One giant annoyance with Apple Music is their artist matching/suggestions. I have a few artists with very generic common names. Anytime another artist with the same name releases another album, it’ll be wrongly matched to the artist I listen to for a few weeks. More annoyingly, I keep getting the other artist in my recommendations constantly!

Two examples would be SIERRA (techno) and ALEX (synthwave). SIERRA often gets mismatched with Sierra and now I keep ending up with weird spanish music in my recommendations. With ALEX it’s with ALEX&RUS which is some russian rap duo. Super annoying.
Correct me if I'm wrong: the first and second ones in market share aren't the most interesting part. What's insightful is that Amazon is at third. Spotify is a pure player in the space and with it's years of growth it makes sense to be #1. Apple, while not a pure player as Spotify, has a good share of the mobile devices market and smartwatch, and that and music go hand in hand. Amazon? To Amazon music is just another thing in their miryad of things, and they're still at the top.
Businesses sue? Blame customers! In order to save the village we had to destroy the village! There needs to be some massive reforms, especially with copyright.
The thing is, for most police reform activists, defunding the police is the key method by which reform takes place. I agree it’s bad branding, but it’s pretty obvious we won’t see substantial police reform unless we defund them. More police is not always the answer to more crime, sometimes it makes more sense to fund other civil services instead.
I'm sorry, but that's not much better than the original. Can't it be made configurable? Or at least follow the locale?
While that's true, products from Telegram, Cisco, Dell etc etc are targeted by nation states with infinite budgets who employ the best coders and cryptographers in the world. They have track records of selling bogus/backdoored products via fake companies, hacking companies to plant malware, planting/bribing employees etc. That changes the balance pf probabilities between stupidity and malice a lot for me.

Oh try that when your name is written the same in many languages. Amelia, Lionel, Robert... Yeah I prefer people not worry too much and call me something I understand and move on. My wife's name is Asia (diminutive for her official name, Joanna) which is to be pronounced in Polish. She gets really annoyed when French people try and pronounce it. The 'si' sound is closer to the English 'sh' than the French 'ch' and we don't have this 'sh' sound in French. It really sounds ugly in French...

The effort is appreciated but it's grating and she often ends up kindly telling them 'use Joanna instead'.
I think you've articulated what the problems are -- that people are speaking out of anger, not carefully and thoughtfully.

Classical activists like Rosa Parks, MLK, and Frederick Douglass were careful, articulate, and thoughtful -- and they had far more of a positive influence because of it.

That's not to say that we should close our ears to people's political expressions, but advocating untenable policy never achieves much good, no matter how much feeling is behind it. We have to move beyond the primal screams and feelings toward thoughtful, articulate, actionable policy that makes good sense and has a net effect of building up society into something good instead of merely tearing it down. It's much harder and more important to build well than to tear down.

This is where good education becomes an absolute necessity. Instead of lowering standards and making school easier, we should focus on making it more accessible while keeping standards high. We need articulate, thoughtful, well-read people if we are to achieve a better society; I'm not talking about STEM -- while it's important, STEM helps people do, not think. How many of these modern activists have read Milton, Locke, Hegel, Descartes, or Aristotle?

So I see these problems (people talking about "tearing it all down") as primarily a symptom of a lack of good education.

I created a Hypercube screen saver back in the day from instructions provided in a Scientific American article, which if memory serves was written by Martin Gardner.

I do wish I were able to use my Tidal iPhone app as a remote like Spotify can and that their AI suggestions would improve (Spotify has become really good here).
It is pretty amazing the extent of understanding you can achieve with an animal. After a year or so raising my pup, it feels like we have both picked up certain signals to communicate. He paws at me and then sits by the front door when he needs to go to the bathroom, for instance (although sometimes he cleverly abuses this because he just wants to go outside and play with me during worktime, but I can't fault him for that). I'm sure this is mundane for most people who are dog owners, but being my first dog I couldn't help but be impressed at the level of communication the little guy seems to be capable of.

I can't imagine they're the only animals capable of that. It certainly feels like we're friends with a mutual understanding.

Paints a more neutral picture. They shot both nazis and alies, and had to occasionally fight to keep out of the conflict

For example:

> Nazi Germany repeatedly violated Swiss airspace. During the Battle of France, German aircraft violated Swiss airspace at least 197 times.[17] In several air incidents, the Swiss shot down 11 Luftwaffe aircraft between 10 May 1940 and 17 June 1940, while suffering the loss of three of their own aircraft.[17] Germany protested diplomatically on 5 June 1940 and with a second note on 19 June 1940 which contained explicit threats. Hitler was especially furious when he saw that German equipment was used to shoot down German pilots. He said they would respond "in another manner".[17] On 20 June 1940, the Swiss air force was ordered to stop intercepting planes violating Swiss airspace. Swiss fighters began instead to force intruding aircraft to land at Swiss airfields. Anti-aircraft units still operated. Later, Hitler and Hermann Göring sent saboteurs to destroy Swiss airfields but they were captured by Swiss troops before they could cause any damage.[18] Skirmishes between German and Swiss troops took place on the northern border of Switzerland throughout the war.

> The thing is, for most police reform activists, defunding the police is the key method by which reform takes place

“Defund” advocates distinguish themselves from “reform” advocates because they see the police reform movement as having made the problem worse by sucking money out of other local services into police budgets in the name of supporting reforms (leading to police role expansion as there are fewer other tools to handle local issues.)

They literally see “police reform” as a major source of current problems, not the solution.

(They can accurately be described as local government reform activists, but the central specific reform they support is reducing the resources and role of the local centralized paramilitary law enforcement entities, and distributing both resources and responsibilities elsewhere.)

I would take "for commercial purposes" to mean aggregating the data for wholesale, or offering some kind of analytics service across users.

Whereas showing ads in the same client where the user is also viewing their own data is incidental. The purpose is to provide a useful intermediary service, and the ads help pay for that service, in much the same way a search engine can reproduce data from websites and show ads at the same time.
Being against climate change and against carbon taxes at the same time basically boils down to "I want everyone else to work hard on solving this problem, except for me. I want to keep benefiting from the low prices that the pollution economy has made possible, but I don't want any pollution."

His first cousin was still alive until a few years ago and she recounted him saying that he would never leave Newport again.

I find this assertion, combined with the final paragraph from your previous post, interesting—given the very loose and broad criteria of "doing bad things" here, could you not replace "police department" with "government"? if so, then should your previous post's third paragraph not also apply to all employees of city, county, state, and federal governments as well?

if this is your end goal: uh, do you know anyone who's hiring?

I used the term 'law enforcement' and not the term 'police' intentionally as law enforcement is an umbrella while police are a specific group within it.

The way I see it the police subgroup could be defunded with new approaches deployed to maintain peace and safety, without needing to cease law enforcement as a whole.

Amazon Music is a throw-in on Prime, so technically I "have" it as a subscriber to Prime, but I've literally never used it.

Of all of the players in this space, it's not clear to me that Amazon's "subscriber share" reflects anything at all considering that it's not something you subscribe to on its own and not generally considered a major benefit of the subscription it's included in. Would be interesting to see what the actual usage statistics look like.
The phrase I would have used is "pass the Obama police reforms." "Reform the police" is perhaps too vague - reform means different things to different people and status quo keepers are often celebrated as "reformers". On the other hand, Obama wrote a list of seven explicit reforms that police departments should make. They really aren't that controversial. And, Obama was going through a popularity surge (as Trump was going through an unpopularity surge).

I think such a slogan would have captured a solid 60-70% of the electorate, which the current "defund" rhetoric hovers around the high 30s.

So I can imagine when there are tools to prettify code for blogs this can become an issue for some languages.

While not entirely related to ligatures, my own biggest offender has been strange whitespace being treated as an identifier in LuaJIT. Mostly caused by my Norwegian keyboard layout producing strange whitespace when you want to write the not operator "~=" if you're not careful enough.

You can blame many parts here, LuaJIT for allowing this in the first place, editors lacking tools to deal with it or normalize pasted code, me for not using a us layout, me copy pasting code, or me not being careful enough.

Thankfully vscode will now highlight non standard whitespace with a yellow box. And best of all I've learned to be aware of these things when copy pasting code from the browser.
