What's the evidence for weakening FAA regulation? EDIT: I'm getting downvoted, but I really am curious. It's extremely uncommon for government bureaucracy to roll back regulations, and as far as I can tell from some Googling,

Interesting you bring Rabin up, because it's a good point of comparison. How has Israel treated Yigal Amir? How has Hamas treated the 10/7 terrorists? How many Israelis support what Amir did? How many Gazans support the 10/7

Personal injury is serious business, and many personal injury attorneys work on contingency. Amazon has "deep pockets," so I doubt this is the reason.

My guess is that using the OpenAI models to generate training data for a bespoke transformer model is extremely taxing on OpenAI's computing usage. If I were to guess, that is why that behavior is proscribed by the TOS, and why ByteDan

Cornell's law school has a pretty good guide to these "adhesion contracts" such as web TOS.[0] This alteration strikes me (IANAL) as running the risk of being unconscionable. If the contract change is unconscionable, then the

Is there another publication covering this case? NPR, whose funding comes directly from federal taxes, has an inherent conflict of interest in this case, and based on the slant of the article, they are doing little to mitigate it.

I can't say I'm surprised, given that GoDaddy is the worst of the worst, from the sleazy pr0n Super Bowl ads to their (mis)treatment of customers.

I had a similar reaction. If I'm healthy, I can routinely ship 1-2k LOC per week. I sort of regret that at times, because I think we could be just as productive (in terms of useful product) with many fewer LOC, but we are stuck with th
