I imagine OP was saying that the phrase 'isn't inexpensive' has the connotation that it is minorly expensive, whereas NASCAR racing is a multi-million dollar sport.

Interesting. I thought it was a per-play schedule, thanks for pointing that out. I am still skeptical about the true dollar amount he would have stolen from other artists because a portion of the monies paid out in total came from his bots streaming music, therefore "listening" to ads. But I can see the validity of the claim he stole from other artists.
I agree that there is some fraud going on in this case. However, I disagree that he "... stole millions in royalties that should have been paid to musicians, songwriters, and other rights holders whose songs were legitimately streamed..." . If he had not executed this scheme, those millions would have been kept by the streaming services. Stealing millions from legitimate rights holders would have been changing the database on who gets paid for a song being streamed, not generating new songs.
A) As if this is the only way for them to get a job.
B) What do you think the odds of a man landing a job at a job fair for women? Probably next to nothing, I know I wouldnt hire someone so keen on disruption and I imagine it would be much the same for recruiters working such an event.
I do not believe this has much to do with men landing a job at a job fair for women, as it has to do with men taking up the limited time at a job fair for women. If a recruiter can only talk to X people in total at the job fair portion of the conference, and Y men talk to the recruiters, then Y women are denied an opportunity to talk to the recruiters.
From what I have read on Reddit about this conference, that is the main argument I have heard.
Can you not sign up for Bally+ and a VPN service to stream Twins games? For that matter, you could get MLB.tv and VPN service and stream your game. You just need an IP that isn't in the Twins blackout region.
I don't remember the make or model, but I had a cell phone once that had an AM/FM tuner built into it, and a low power FM transmitter. You could listen to AM or FM, and you could play music and broadcast it on FM to listen to it in the car...
My opposition to this is primarily due to the slippery slope it creates where NOW there is still a cop pulling the robot's trigger, however the next evolution might start incorporating AI into the trigger pull.
So if V = IR and R is raised (Poor connection) and V is constant (The power supply) how can I do anything but go down?

My company *is* paying for it. I have been programming for over 30 years as a hobby, I am just now finally able to work on finishing up my degree, on the company dime no less, and will transfer to software engineering within my company.
I for one welcome our Megapede overlords?
At one point the USA legal system was based on the UK legal system...
If this is truly about 'mah roads' then fuel economy shouldn't matter at all. Only the weight of the vehicle should matter.
If only there was already a device installed in every car that could record the number of miles driven
The only problem with that is it does not tell you where those miles were driven. There's a State and County cut to fuel tax. So reporting an odometer reading just tells you how many miles. But if you did a cross country drive, there's a few states/counties that would have gotten a cut of the fuel tax that will now miss out on that cut. And that's why you get political opposition from State assemblies on these kinds of ideas. Your idea is a great one, the only problem is most State Governments won't accept it. It's for this opposition that the whole tracking thing is being considered. The Federal government is attempting to put something out there that States will accept. If everyone was okay with the mantra of "screw the states" then the odometer thing would have been implemented when this whole thing came up back in 2014/2015.
States and Counties want their cut and they've been the biggest dragging force on any of the "simple" ideas.
When I drive across the country, I do not stop in each and every city I come across to top off the tanks. I drive until I am close to empty and then stop and fill up. There are a lot city and/or counties that are missing out on fuel tax already.
