Pretending publishers/authors should have some fundamental right to restrict what you do with the knowledge in their books is asinine. They themselves took the alphabet from somewhere (phoenicians), tooks the tropes they use developed over time (check out tvtropes.org), etc etc etc. Imagine if a math book author demands royalties for doing math in your head... even though they really didn't come up with anything novel.

The only thing you ensure if publishers/authors can restrict AI is that your country/region loses out to countries and regions with no such restrictions. This type of petty protecitonism why Europe is so far behind in info/sci tech the last 40 years.

Zero.

Or is that ZeRo?

We eat a pretty normal diet.

Nah, stop bullshitting. We (Americans) eat a ton of meat. We’re like #2 in the world, and definitely the top for big countries (population). There are just smaller rich countries near us, but not China, India, etc.

We especially love the high greenhouse gas meats (beef).

Under this new legislation you'll be able to fix it yourself.

Most household devices in many country use the same or similar plugs (ground or ungrounded), outside of high power needs.

We even made progress on some 120/220 swappable devices in the computer age.

Itâ(TM)s just maliciousness at this point because for fucks sake, 90% of all it has to do is charge or transmit data.

I donâ(TM)t care if it can charge at the fastest rate or transmit data at the fastest rate. It should fall back on some slower rate and while inconvenient it wouldnâ(TM)t be as bad as the absolute nothing that goes now.

Why I canâ(TM)t plug-in an Apple lightning cable that works on an iPhone 8 or 10 but doesnâ(TM)t work on the current iPhone at all is beyond me. Or a myriad of USB-C devices where the cables wonâ(TM)t work in between devices.

Fuck ALL these manufacturers.

Whether we adopt permanent standard time or permanent DST, over time behaviours will adapt to have 'start of day' and 'end of day' where people find them comfortable, just with a different number on the clock. But that does take time for behaviours to adapt and in the meantime it isn't insane to suggest that issues could arise.

I agree it's weird wording but I would guess they mean that the rights apply to individual customers not to companies i.e. If Bill Gates bought a defective product for personal use then he could sue on this basis but if Microsoft bought the product then they couldn't - they'd have to rely on whatever contractual terms they entered into.

I have no problems with the title, as I had better results with SOME alternative medicines than I had with now traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments.

As a former hardliner skeptic (of the James Randi variety), itâ(TM)s too easy to fall into our own version of Dogma.

Unfortunately, the alt scenes attracts more than its fair share of quacks by its fundamental nature, so it wouldnâ(TM)t surprise me if the journal is junk status.

I suppose the buyer wasn't prepared to part with any precious cryptocoins so the seller will have to accept worthless dollars instead. They really should have offered something more valuable than the company e.g. an NFT of the company.

The US definitely recognises the ICJ, has brought cases before it (e.g. Treatment in Hungary of Aircraft and Crew of the United States), votes on the appointment of judges to it (as a member of the security council) and has a judge on it (Sarah Cleveland) . You may be thinking of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which the US is not a member of and consequetly doesn't submit to its jurisdiction- though that isn't really the same as saying that the US doesn't recognise it.

The rest of us just want to watch good tennis, and donâ(TM)t give a shit over this referee wankery.

The fact that most tennis fans canâ(TM)t name a single ref proves this.

How would Jackson Pollack fit in?

Yeah, I think the human mind works the same way. Are you gonna claim that anybody that went through school owes infinite copyright to previous generation starting with use of the alphabet and number system?
