Because housing is essential to life does not mean it should double in price every ten years.

I agree, and didn’t mean to imply that the price rising is inherent to these services. What I should have spelled out is that a capitalist market can only self regulate when the buyer has the ability to say no. Largely a customer of health, housing and food has limited ability to opt out.

His interpretation of “industries that are allowed to innovate vs those where it’s illegal” is laughable.

Has Marc considered that there might be some other fundamental difference between the inflation-positive sectors of health, education, food and housing, vs the inflation-negative ones of TVs, cars and software subscriptions? I’ll give you a hint Marc: some of these are essential to life and society and some are not.

The linked article doesn’t support your editorialised title. I think what you’re trying to say is that it’s not a standard. It’s still a useful term to describe a set of modern web standards and features.

The documentarian shouldn’t be required to provide an answer or an alternative. Their job is to present material and it’s up to us to respond.

In fact what I _really_ dislike about Netflix documentaries is how heavy-handed they are with the solutions that they dictate, James Cameron’s veganism propaganda being the most obvious example - completely coincidental that he owns a plant-based protein manufacturing company

If you search /r/unpopularopinion or /r/changemyview you’ll find plenty of examples of such topics being discussed.

I can't think of the definition of AI you could be using to say the autopilot is an AI. Autopilot didn't teach itself to fly the plane - it was explicitly programmed to do so.

As a consumer of a paid dataset, how would I trust that the vendor is publishing accurate and complete data?

The battery is replaceable, not sure that it's a big concern. I'd kill to see open documented bindings for wireless interaction, as well as the ability to write custom synth engines, but really doesn't appear to be the direction for them.

I would like to adopt something like this, but there are some pretty normal table functions in our current print solution that I don't know how to support in HTML.

E.g. on a multi-page invoice, show a sub-total row at the bottom of each page. Does anyone know how to create this kind of function?
