I would go a step further, even, and say it's akin to borrowing a book and formally registering every little detail about it but the actual text itself, with extreme breadth and precision: grammar, style, lexicon (potential morpheme co

Yes. Every "AI" company is training their software on everything , regardless of what they claim, and making millions, billions of dollars on it.

There's also the original 1957-1964 TV show, Herge's Adventures of Tintin . Here's a fragment of its original airing on Catalan public television (TV3) during the 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMH76zya

It always baffles me how people making anything on GitHub don't show how it looks, especially with something as visually prominent as a video game or similarly visual products. I'm always extremely eager to show how my projects fu

What about no ads, at all? Have you ever thought of that? Just stop and consider the ramifications of such a ban. Most junk on TV and the Internet would not exist once people were forced to pay directly for consuming (eugh) it. YouTube woul

If they'd fancy a donation, they'd have a visible button or section on their website so anyone interested could send it their way. Liberapay looks like a decent alternative to Patreon. Crypto (XMR, namely) is also a good option.

Parents should be more responsible. That's it. This measure is, potentially, deeply ingraining the (terrible) idea that the State is responsible instead, so when all these young kids have children, they, just as their parents, will lac

You really shouldn't go through a stranger's posting history out of frustration. In any event, the account has most probably been flagged, and the content immediately flagged and hidden. Were they to continue posting in the same v

>Yes, but stay aware that IPA is for pronunciations. A word doesn't have unique pronunciation. No. IPA encodes sounds based on various aspects of articulation. A word has unique phonemes (enclosed in forward slashes, //),

That shouldn't be a problem for anyone grasping colloquial semantics. At any rate: falsify the hypothesis that climate change isn't influenced at all by human activity. Establish a causal relationship. Show me the studies. I'
