Around 8 times a year.

I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.

If it was just myself I wouldn’t notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.

They good!

If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there’s no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you’re free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author’s work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it “Fifty shades of grey”.

I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your “Burger King” burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.

Its Trademark Law in Australia.

For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries (so purple would be fair game for a business in another field), but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers, (so they effectively block out an area of the color spectrum).

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

I don’t think the maths checks out

If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.

Revanced isn’t big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

a condition with scab formation?

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

Also don’t rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

But boycotting services that happen to use Amazon? Impossible!

Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.

That’s the whole gene vs meme concept.

The same principal applies in that people who come after you can receive your ideas.

You mean Fahrenheit right?

So… How often do you have to change the filter?

Phone numbers are a “legacy system” if they were designed today they would be different.

I know a few people who have a HDD exchange going. A couple of times a year they drop off a HDD with their current backup at a friends house, then take the old one home to use next time.

It offline, so it can’t be accessed easily but its also protected from device failure,power surges, etc.

Its no good as a daily backup but its fine for static data e.g. videos of the kids as they were growing up.

If its just a HDD in a static proof bag it doesn’t take much room and can be stored easily.

Its got issues but it does offer a cheep offsite backup

There are on going costs with running the service so if new customers stopped signing up they would go broke when they run out of money. (i.e. like a ponzi scheme)

Unless they invest your seed capital and pay for your services from growth. This would work when times are good, but could fall apart during any significant financial crisis.

The current offer for the named service is asking for us$800 for 10TB, if they followed the 5% rule that would leave them with us$40 per year to provide the service.

Agreed, even if you limit yourself to major tentpole content its impossible to keep up.

But if you look at the uploads to major digital distribution platforms its incredible how much content is being produced:

• YouTube gets 500 hours of video uploaded per minute.
• Spotify has 60k tracks uploaded per day
• Kindle has 225k books published per month
• Steam has 50 games published per day

Moderates no longer have a say.

Many view the democrats as being right of centre already and that “moderates” are largely unrepresented because both parties lean right.

As a related phenomenon the Addams Family set was painted in colour so that each element would show distinctly on black and white television.

This probably depends on what you mean by “shut down”.
