What the words means in common usage doesn't have to track what immunity actually is. Colloquially, immunity means sterilizing immunity. Actually, immunity doesn't have to be sterilizing.
I don't think the OC implied that musicians (or their agents) shouldn't have pricing authority, just that the market won't bear the prices they seem to want.
The moment a digital file exists, your competing price point is free. People can still pirate, and don't because of youtube and streaming sites. You don't have to think that's right or fair (I don't), but it's absolutely the reality.
You didn't claim they weren't, but I just want to point out how each of those points is very, very subjective. For me:
- I'd much rather be in-person, where I can better gauge what others are communicating and more readily have two-way communication about the material.
- I'm way less focused when on my own computer, on my own time.
- I find I communicate way less purely online than I would in-person.
- Automatic grading sucks, especially for programming, as it can only really test inputs and outputs, and misses a ton of nuance. I want to also know if my code sucks, regardless of it producing the correct output or not.
The DOE land on which ORNL sits has a massive stand that they used for testing of this idea. They'd suspend a reactor to test shielding effectiveness. You can see it from a few spots on I-40/I-75 and on Highway 95 going by the lab's west entrance.
Given that the police wanted information after having already received the threats, they had to have requested some combination of historical and future data. They almost certainly wanted historical data primarily so that they could find the person who sent the threats.
There's no way to satisfy requests for historical data without capturing data from everyone.
I hope so. When the phone system was manually-operated switch boards, should the phone companies have been responsible for listening to every call and reporting suspicious activity to the police?
