Yes, Koch has apparently funded a good amount of Ken Burns' work. I have no reason to suspect that Ken Burns has let Koch influence the content of his work, however.

Yeah, I would really like to see them either stop doing that or make it very clear in their email that you should only respond if you know the answer to the question.

AFAIK, LLC's weren't really a thing in California in 1976.

That's good to know! I was initially confused about how you double a $50k amount and get to $350k, but I'm guessing it works as an additional fine every day and is like:

  • Day 0: No fine
  • Day 1: Add $50k
  • Day 2: Add $100k
  • Day 3: Add $200k

I don't know exactly what the percentage of new laptops that can use USB-C charging is, but it's a pretty large percentage. My Lenovo Yoga came with a USB-C charger and that's all it uses for charging. That said, I actually do agree with you that this is not really a problem for laptops and IMHO it's often a lot easier to fix/replace a broken DC barrel type charging port than a USB port on a laptop because a DC barrel generally just has 2 relatively large solder points. I'm a lot more nervous handling my laptop with a USB-C charging cable attached than I would be with a DC barrel. However, I'm in favor of legislation that reduces the number of proprietary port standards (like Lightning).

I don't see how this meme would be better with an audio cable that doesn't have a separate physical signal path for left and right channels. The Van Gogh panel wouldn't make any sense.

What you've described is exactly how it's supposed to work. Once a user has subscribed to an external community from your instance, it should load immediately for any users afterwards.

Ultra also has a lifetime option now.

Sync does have some cloud features (and I suspect push notifications will be one of them soon), but yeah, I understand paying for them isn't for everyone.

Here's the video of it if anybody hasn't seen it yet.

It's actually pretty sad that there are probably going to be some braindead Hollywood execs who completely missed the point of the movie and unironically pitch something like this.

It's the wrong way to go about it, though. Just tax businesses' profits and close the bullshit loopholes they exploit to avoid paying them.
