Spotify has (had? I no longer use it) a feature that would allow you to make local media available as part of your library anywhere so long as your machine was on and connected to the internet. I would imagine that feature requires disk access under these sandbox / permission models.

Edit: I should say, the model it was created with (select a folder, all media in that folder is mirrored) requires such permissions. One could imagine designs that don’t.

Is bottom decile consumption a good measure of economic health? In a way it seems it could signal the opposite, ie in the past the bottom decile was saving that money in an effort to change their economic conditions vs spending it now could indicate a lack of hope for upward mobility.

To your example it seems worth noting that the quality of the air travel experience appears to decline over time as well.

The original complaint cites no minimum land ownership requirement and the judgement does not seem to make specific disagreement with this fact as best I can tell, so that is my understanding as well.

Is there some kind of ambiguity inherent in designated initializers such that the field ordering requirement is necessary for C++ or is it rather just a quirk of the compiler authors’ choices?

If I give you a piece of titanium and tell you a piece of lead with equivalent volume would have greater mass I have in no way said the density of titanium is zero.

What you infer from reading the text is your problem, not mine. My follow up comment articulates exactly my position.

I don’t doubt that people feel this way. I doubt that every new account inflating the apparent consensus is genuine.

There is no insinuation. The astroturfing objectively occurs and that it does so is an inherent strain on the credibility of engagement like that of the GP.
