Precisely. Therefore, society at large should have no business in the reason a woman wants to remove part of her body. By this logic, why should wanting to remove a fetus with a specific genital be considered any more sexist than wanting to

The main argument behind pro-choice is that a fetus isn't a person. Otherwise abortion would mean killing people. If you really believe your analogy of firing people is a good one, then you have already recognized the aborted fetus as

Information should definitely be something you can own, and you seem to understand this perfectly, because yesterday you wrote: "I would feel a lot more comfortable with this if it didn't collect any data of mine"

It's quite common practice to write the title of something in italics. I think this is just that, not an emphasis. Example: https://jayshams.medium.com/moby-dick-is-not-a-novel-e19e41f...

What if you store a large number of keys on the module right from the start, and get all the new keys from that list. That way the key switch message only needs to contain the index of the new key. Even better, store a huge random seed and

But the same applies to the messages themselves, no? QKD is only for key exchange, so I assume the resulting keys themselves are just random (non-quantum) bits of data, and the encrypted messages are sent through plain old TCP/IP. If a

Collectively. Not on an individual basis. You can't blame Gordon Ramsay for Brexit either. That would be silly. And there wasn't even a referendum for the Iran sanctions AFAIK.

Exactly. American open source developers shouldn't be blamed for things the American government does.

From context, I thought you were suggesting the strategy "just type pirated proprietary code into the IDE and the Copilot plugin will automatically include it in the training data", since my earlier comment was about the difficult

No, but parent comment did say, "feed all proprietary code into GitHub Copilot".

Except Copilot itself is not open source, so your only way to feed that proprietary code into it would be to upload it to github, which would make you an infringer.

What would you use that information for? Would you refuse to use an online service, smart device or video game based on how much storage space the app asks for? Even though the actual space they will end up using might be only half of that

Actually, I got that backwards. His date of birth is unknown, and it was estimated from the Inferno. The real source the 70 year lifespan used for this estimation comes from is the Bible.

Literally the first line of Dante's Inferno is "Midway upon the journey of our life", and we know that the story takes place in 1300, when Dante was 35 years old. (Although Dante himself died in malaria at 56.) I don't k
