It's time for BN to suck it up and put signs around the store saying 'Found a book you love here but are choosing to buy it from a competitor? Please use our referral code: xyz".
No - republicans in both chambers voted against net neutrality, and democrats in both chambers voted for net neutrality. The resolution of disapproval of net neutrality only passed in the House because there was a republican majority in the House at that time. It failed in the Senate because there was a democrat majority in the Senate at that time.
The U.S. Senate voted on an older version of net neutrality in 2011 with a resolution introduced by former republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (a resolution of disapproval of the FCC's Open Internet Order of 2010). It was a party line vote, 48-52, with republicans (the minority caucus in the Senate at that time) voting against the order and democrats voting in support of the order.
Also in 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives had a disapproval vote which passed 240-179, since republicans were in the majority at that time. All but 2 republicans voted to disapprove the FCC order, while all but 6 democrats voted in support of the order.
Hatsune Miku was one of the opening acts for Lady Gaga on her 2014 artRave arena tour.
I attended Gaga's Washington DC show, had never heard of Hatsune Miku, and had no idea what was going on. Hatsune had live, human back-up dancers. By the end of the set I realized this could be the future of music - when I got home I devoured every piece of information on vocaloids I could find.
When a startup receives investment from a VC firm, are all the limited partners in the fund disclosed? If so, how do you know those aren't also shell corporations, etc?
