The excellent safety record is due to them rarely being in the sky. Only about 150 of them have ever been built, the overwhelming majority as cargo planes and cargo planes generally don't fly much. IIRC Lufthansa is the only significant user of the passenger version.

To be fair, this would be also true for any previous president, no matter the party. But the current republican base is a qult.

I'm not sure that "do nothing for a while" is quite the right phrasing. A more precise description seems to be "continue providing the service and don't tell the customer that anything changed". The customers with lifetime subscriptions who've been happily using the service for over a year since the purchase can probably make a case under the principle of estoppel that the new owner implicitly represented that they had taken on the contract. (And the customers with annual contracts who renewed might also be able to argue that the renewed contract isn't binding on them because the failure to inform them that the other party wasn't who they believed means that there isn't a meeting of the minds).

Not necessarily. For example when buying an insolvent company it is perfectly possible to buy the assets and the company brand, but not the actual company - so the new company with the same name doesn't have to honour any of the contracts (like warranty or outstanding orders that are already paid) of the previous company.

Take two steps forward, and two steps back, and then two steps forward, and two steps back, and now we're doing the cha-cha.

I don't know what you're doing, but it's definitely not the cha-cha. That's step, replace, chassé, except for a few figures which chain chassés.

That is 19th century thinking, basically opium wars. Welcome to the 21st century when there are no gold or silver standards, only fiat money, hence trade deficits don't really matter.

The "troves" of data being used is volume of consumption, not volume of production, and volume of consumption has always been a factor in fair use and similar concepts. One rule of thumb is that if you're copying more than 5% of the original work, that weighs against the use being fair. (And, anticipating one common argument, legally the training process copies 100% of all the works used, even if less than that ends up encoded directly in the weights).

Copyright law has never considered speed or volume of production, yet now the copyright office is claiming that precisely this implicates fair use.

I've only read the summary, but I'm not seeing anything related to speed or volume of production. Am I overlooking something?

It's nothing to do with mobile vs desktop. It's just a case of knowing that if you want accents to display correctly on /. you have to use HTML entities (e.g. ü for ü).

The body of water between the north and south American continents is called the Caribbean Sea. The Rio Grande / Río Bravo isn't at a plate boundary.

I always wondered why in 1960, all the world maps had Russia and China in red.

Mapmakers using up the red ink that was no longer necessary for the British Empire?

People wanted to be ruled by a dumb fucktard hence they have elected him. It is that simple.

Maybe you should ask the EU citizen living in the UK how well a digital ID works for them.

That would, unfortunately, create more problems that it solves. Geography still matters.
