What do you think about slashdot beta?

And if Google would just put up Download links on every video that didn't require some obscure special software that just us nerds know to use, many artists from their target market would pack up their videos and leave. You have to imagine that a lot of artists want to be able to broadcast without enabling free copying for everyone, even when that sounds just as obviously technically impossible as say... uniquely identifying a person across repeated visits without actually storing any token of their identity.

So now, in a world where someone can be arrested and driven to suicide by law enforcement just for following all of the links and downloading all of the things to a place where they can be easily re-indexed and consumed en-masse by public, you're saying it's actually not enough to just provide a free service that abides by copyright law and pays copyright owners and does not use DRM, and that you actually have to put up the download links where uneducated people can find them, and actively enable/promote this kind of free-copy bypass-the-advertising behavior, or you're "just as evil as DRM"?

It's not just like putting DRM on your products. It's actually just like not putting DRM on them.

OK, but youtube-dl is much older than two months. So, it's legal free video downloads (assuming these "active countermeasures" are not classified as "devices for copyright control" in the DMCA/trafficking sense of the word), supported by community efforts. The fact is it's broken every few months, and also fixed again, for a couple of years running now. They have not implemented any "strong" copyright protection measures that would prevent its fixing. Where is the netflix-dl?

How much personal information are you really putting into Google+?

Have you heard of youtube-dl? It is actually possible to download videos from YouTube.

I think you mean curried... you curry favor, you curtail bad behavior.

followup: do you suck coke for dick?

As far as I can tell, "disruption" means "ignore laws and regulations". So, how do you know which laws and regulations are ok to ignore?

I know that Wikipedia is of course the one and only best primary source, but here goes anyway:

"Tesla produced the Roadster until January 2012, when its supply of Lotus Elise gliders ran out, as its contract with Lotus Cars for 2,500 gliders expired at the end of 2011."

So, if you're trying to say that Lotus never made parts for the Model S, fine. You're the first person to use the designation "Model S" anywhere in this thread. Tesla made other cars, before the Model S.

Here's the thing... Tesla doesn't sell cars, they sell California ZEV credits to other car companies. (Kind of like how GM wasn't a car company, they were a health care company for retired auto workers that made money by flipping auto loans and sometimes made cars). If the ZEV credits dry up (changes in the law or other companies producing a popular ZEV vehicle), they're fucked and will need to find another line of business, ie manufacture batteries and operate charging stations.

WideGlide? Sounds like goatse lube. Whoever approved that name really fucked up.

use node.js -- it's javascript so you don't need to know any computer science bullshit to use it. But it's also twice as fast as C since it never blocks. Mongodb is also good because you don't need to understand databases or make sure your numbers are really numbers or your dates are valid or any of that bullshit DBA crap like consistency or transaction. That makes it faster than SQL.

I patented cancer! These insensitive clods owe me naked and petrified grits in my cowboy neil goatse!

"The average American doesn't even spent $30,000 on a car". Discuss.

The average used car sells for $9-10k (Maryland statistics for 2014; the new price matches your numbers). There are twice as many used car sales as new car sales.
