If society wants to prosecute people for making emulators without any infringing content in them, then they need to make laws to make it illegal. You can't hold people accountable to laws that don't exist, especially when laws are

It's people with very good baseline health, a lot of discipline in general to help maintain their health, decent enough privilege to lead easy/comfortable/healthy lives and retirements, and probably really good social lives.

If you make a VLC clone from scratch but intended to be used for kiosks, the mixture of features and how it operates may be different, but the individual features have assuredly already been programmed elsewhere before. Which is basically m

I think we’re seeing the beginning upward trend of an exponential curve for humanoid robotics too, which will likely take 90% of construction jobs because humans are especially poorly equipped for difficult manual labor on a daily basis.

Companies leaving because they have an unsustainable business model isn't an argument for paying people less than a living wage. It's an argument for those businesses leaving or going bankrupt.

I found a single VR porn website that worked with the AVP. It was super finicky (around 30 seconds to load a page and actually get it playing, involving 6 button presses). Also was a paid website.

I still don't follow. The Ariane 5 launched the JWST with enough fuel to get where it's needed. Starship can launch the exact same payload, plus twice the entire weight in extra fuel. Starship also offers no-reusability launch opt

I have no idea. Ariane 5 rocket has payload dimensions of 15x50 feet. Starship is 26x56ft. The unfolded mirror is 21 feet across, so if you increased that by 73%, then 36 feet. This is all probably really unfounded assumptions The benefit o

How do you explain how the Ariane 5 used for the JWST, with a mass to GTO half that of Starship, was able to position the JWST without 60 launches?

This is my take, I have zero respect for the concept of intellectual property and care not at all if people make money from piracy. I don't think Disney is going to notice the lost subscription revenue from 50,000 people.
