I think the author is confused about what inflation is, vs the benefits reaped from the advancement of technology. The author also seems to have a bias against the people screaming "inflation". That is pretty obvious from the title. To show real inflation, I like using the Burger King whopper as an example. In the early 90's I remember being able to buy 4 whoppers for $1. With the advancement of farming technology, transportation technology, preservation technology, etc.... Why do we see the whopper cost over $7 now?

tekcyb-org | 5 years ago | on: Someone wants to buy exclusive rights to my music but id rather open source it

Thanks so much, you brought up some things I didn't think about. It's kind of a weird situation because the beat that I made has been floating around the internet for about 12 years now and people have used it a lot and it's had 10s of millions of views by now. This overseas manager wants to buy it exclusive. But it has more sentimental value for me and I wouldn't want to tie it to 1 person. I even offered a lease agreement but they want it exclusive. I don't think they can pay what I would want for compete exclusive rights to it. They even sort of "threatened" that they can easily remake it with some changes and get away with it but they would rather "do it the right way".

Wow thank you for the explanation and that picture you provided makes it very clear as well. I did not realize that the world was divided into plates.

I don't understand how land masses the size of africa detaches. The map shows africa attached to the US, but this doesn't make sense. I can understand water levels changing, exposing new areas that might have been underwater, drying up and turning into land masses, as well as areas that were previously land, becoming filled with water.

Not sure why everyone is so surprised. This goes hand in hand with apples goals in creating a seamless ecosystem for the customer. It's part of their brand, mission and identity to have this tight/strict policy. It would actually hurt their brand if they derailed from this.

Apple is an end to end ecosystem. It has a straight line vision. I think they would be wrong to not do this.

And this is coming from a privacy / open source geek. I run my own mail servers.

I just put the context in the reply above. I'm a (systemNetwork/admin/engineer) by trade and hobby, I'm not perfect, and I definitely make mistakes but I guarantee you I didn't put anything in the "wrong box". It was pretty straight forward. Step 1. Turn on new Kindle device. Step 2. Log into Kindle Device with Amazon account. Step 3. Go to settings, the "your Account" Step 4. Look at the last line and it shows your passwword(partially) in plain text.

I dont know how I'd post evidence. I can explain how to recreate. I had a kindle device for a long time. I recently reset my device to factory. Then reattached the kindle to my account by booting up the kindle device and logging in with my Amazon credentials. Next, I went to my settings page to see what my "Send to Kindle" email address was and it was my "<AmazonPassword>@kindle.com" without the numbers and special characters.

Hello hn

Our DB will run on 2005 or later but we recommend grabbing 2017 and 2019 as they have some useful functionality for our other services like iW8 or Backup. We typically do the server transfers at $120 per hour. Normally, we finish the transfer in one to two hours. iW8 and Backup customers are free if done during our open hours. After hours support for iW8 and Backup will be billed at the same rate. You can do the transfer yourself if you’d like to. Below are steps to transfer the server: Locate database files and copy the following two files - WeighingSystem.mdf & WeighingSystem_Log.ldf Install SQL, allow TCP/IP on static port and named pipe connections. Attach DB. Install software on new PC, choose Advanced Installation, select your DB. Copy the following directories over: i. Recipts (resides in the executable’s directory),

                                                             ii.      Media files                          (path in Settings -> Parameters -> General)

                                                           iii.      Scales                                    (if using scale on new PC, resides in the executable’s directory)

                                                           iv.      Cameras                               (if using, resides in the executable’s directory)

                                                             v.      Moisture Reader              (if using, resides in the executable’s directory)

                                                           vi.      Invoices                               (if using, resides in the executable’s directory)

                                                          vii.      Law Export Path (if using, path in Settings -> Parameters -> Exporting
Update connection strings for ALL PCs to new server on login screen. i. Click Options, press insert key on drop down menu that appears to get access to SQL connection settings.

Update ALL PCs Media Path and Law Export Path if applicable. If you have devices to use on new server, we can install drivers needed to get them to work with new PCs. See step ‘E’ and ‘F’ above to point the client PCs to the new server
