I know nothing about GoogleSQL/ZetaSQL, but its description from its GitHub page describes it as an, "Analyzer Framework for SQL."

Furthermore, if you read TFS, you'd know this is not a new project, merely just a new name. There are easily references to its previous name (ZetaSQL) dating back beyond 2020 (a few that I quickly found dating back to 2014), so they're not, "add[ing] yet another to the mix."

I prefer it as Spicy Autocorrupt, personally.

Don't make such assumptions when trademark is involved. Parody didn't protect so well for VIP Products when it was considered a trademark dispute.

Except the two programs that matter to my circle, Logic Pro and Mainstage, which have feature parity between one-time-purchase and subscriptions (at least at launch).

There was an hour and 8 minutes between postings! Back when I first started coming to /. that was plenty of time for proper comments (and goatse and Natalie Portman and grits)!

Bose* sees themselves as a research organization that funds its research through sale of audio equipment. There's some evidence of that being the case (though there is more evidence of them being litigious jerks). As such, I'm not surprised to find out that Bose open sourced APIs for discontinued product.

* Bose, has, over the years had multiple divisions within the company itself, but, from my limited understanding, recently spun off a couple of the manufacturing divisions into independent companies that license Bose's patents and namesake. Thus a number of product name changes (a prime example being Bose Professional's MA12s, previously named Bose Professional Panaray MA12, because the Panaray trademark is still held by Bose, proving that even people who used to work with the company think it's overly litigious).

Except that's not what's being sold. Discovery Global, will house CNN and other cable channels. So the argument that Paramount already has a bunch of TV channels doesn't really amount to anything as the TV channels aren't part of the deal.

Therefore, frankly, the overlap of Netflix and HBO Max is what we're discussing here and that Venn diagram is a lot closer to a perfect circle whereas Paramount and HBO Max is more of a circle within a larger circle.

Those channels aren't part of the deal. Discovery Global, will house CNN and other cable channels.

I graduated high school in '05 (yeah, I'm a youngin around these parts) and was assigned full novels regularly. Some of the books bored me so I read the SparkNotes, some of the books were complicated to understand (I hate reading Shakespearean English) so I would use SparkNotes the way they're purported to be used.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that one of the LED walls or something innocuous like that is driven by a Raspberry Pi.

I'm gonna go build my own nuclear reactor on the moon! With blackjack! And hookers!

In fact, forget the nuclear reactor!

IANAL period, muchless in California, so grain of salt here, but:

In addition to this, in California, if you're recording because you reasonably expect someone will be committing a crime. In this case, not only did the student not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, the professor had a reasonable expectation that the student was committing a crime. Source.

Ironically, American Quakers are the reason for stable pricing from sale to sale to begin with, so, I would definitely not call that the most American thing normally. But, this year, the Republican president is sponsoring national ownership of everything, so I can't really say departures from the norm in the US are odd...

Yes...that's what a majority would absolutely mean. Literally the only two times in the history of the US that no Presidential candidate has had a 50%+ electoral college vote, the House has picked based upon party lines. The Bull Moose party was the closest to being capable as I recall and they didn't even really come close.

It'll take an Amendment to happen, but the word, "Majority," needs to be removed from the Constitution. Replace it with, "Plurality," and we have a chance of a multiparty system.

As it stands right now, it's virtually impossible for an independent to be elected to the highest ranking office. If there is a three party Presidential race, the US House of Representatives makes the decision as to who wins. Unless we somehow get a large enough group of independents in the House of Reps, that'll be decided along party lines no matter what. Changing that one word makes it so the House doesn't make the decision, but the Electoral College does (I have problems there, too, but different topic).
