People have sued over similar stuff in the past, like Google training their language model on copyrighted materials. The legal consensus is that a model trained on a large volume of copyrighted works does not infringe copyright, even if it

I mean, I would bat an eye at a humidifier running 24/7 without any sort of automatic on/off based on humidity levels but maybe in your climate that’s more normal?

Also, in his “final” videos he never wears a helmet on his motorized bikes or carts - but he does wear a helmet in behind the scenes footage, which says the helmet is omitted for image reasons. On the flip side, I don’t think he’s all that

Anecdotally, there are two in my town. One seems to go bankrupt every few years. I’ve been told (by somebody who would know) that the other basically survives thanks to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Room, and Troll 2. Everything else l

On Android at least this seems to be the case. Bluetooth leaks data that can be used to locate you, so Android just ties the two permissions together. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/160479/why-do-i-...

In turnitin’s defence, in my recollection their training material explicitly and repeatedly tells you not to do this - that a positive turnitin result is not the same as plagiarism, and that all positives should be manually reviewed. The st

There’s a legendary defcon talk about elevators where the speaker describes doing exactly that on several occasions. Searching “Defcon Elevator” on YouTube should pull up the video in question.

I’m not sure how this is significantly worse than the DNS status quo despite being more centralized. Traditional DNS is very easy for everybody and anybody to snoop and tamper with, including your ISP, the government, the resolver and anybo

To qualify as a DoH resolver you have to agree to not log data for purposes other than providing the service, not keep logs for longer than 24h, and not sell any such data. This is audited. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security&

In the inverse, smaller images can be bigger. There's a piece of software that I interact with a lot that's always trying to save space by crushing PNGs down to smaller dimensions, but in the process can introduce a lot of new com

I think there is useful discussion to be had as to why DNT failed. IMO it’s largely because people approached the problem from a purely tech-oriented standpoint and ignored any differing ideologies and incentives at play. An allegory to

Because massive chunks of the population will never turn it on not due to ideological commitment, but simply due to no knowledge that it exists. Furthermore, if we define “tracking” as broadly as “any crash reports and any checking for upda

That is absolutely how it works. https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca “The DMCA “safe harbors” protect service providers from monetary liability based on the allegedly infringing activities of third parties.”

Legally I believe that’s the person who uploaded the code’s infringement rather than GitHub’s, so long as GitHub deals with takedown requests in a timely manner as per the DMCA. Furthermore, as described in the article, the legal precedent

It’s not really the peer review process that makes them prestigious. The peer review process employed by world-class journals doesn’t guarantee good science (see: all sorts of high profile retractions). And it’s not really a complicated s

In what fields are you expected to publish your source code? In the fields I’ve interacted with it was always an “above and beyond” thing that nobody would raise an eye at you not doing.

IANAL, but my interpretation of the GitHub TOS section D4 would give give GitHub the right to parse your code and/or make copies regardless of what your license states. This is the same reason the GitHub search index isn’t GPL contamin

Yep. i7 6700K on a relatively-high-end Asus matx board. No cpu support and no TPM slot. Kinda crazy, since it’s plenty powerful - I’ve felt no need to upgrade the processor or motherboard. You’d think that they could build a USB TPM or some

This is getting downvoted, but honestly? It’s kinda true. Normal tasks like setting up hardware (drivers), using HiDPI displays, and installing software can be a struggle. Many tasks require a user to jump into a terminal and run arcane com

I don’t see how this is nefarious (in itself). The big challenge with donating money is trusting that it will get used “correctly”. Donating to organizations under control of people you know and trust is the easiest way to do this. If there
