Okay, and? If anything, the Swartz case was even more direct fair use. There's very little to use JSTOR for which isn't some form of teaching, scholarship, or research! Clearly the fact that the end-use is (possibly) fair use is

Sure, but that was before European manufacturers started making already-installed seat heating a subscription service, started selling your data - including location - to anyone willing to pay, released EVs which were 5+ years behind Chines

Both are irrelevant for your sub-100-mile daily commute, and the additional initial charge for a twice-a-year road trip is a rounding error. The additional range is nice for home charging when you regularly do 500-mile-plus daily round tr

Would you be willing to share the full design files? Considering most of the PCB is well-trodden territory, it would be quite interesting to see the details what it actually came up with!

If anything, it is surprising that the LLM is so bad at stealing a ready-made RP2350 design! There are plenty of easy-to-find tutorials like [0] and [1] that handhold you through the entire design process, and a simple search will give yo

Even more labor-intensive, actually. Needs significant babysitting for things like electrical fixtures and window opening, and the final wall is a maintenance nightmare if it isn't plastered smooth.

Population-wise that's a rounding error, and very few people routinely take 500+ mile road trips without ever encountering a rest stop or town large enough to warrant a charger. Perhaps there are some farm workers left who would like

Perhaps not "global", but it sure seems to be pretty much the entire Western world by now. The US was the first to lose its sedans, but over here in Europe the cars are rapidly expanding as well.

That depends on your definition of "fun to drive". Flooring it loses its charm within a week, and with the additional weight most EVs are awful when it comes to taking corners at speed. EVs might be fun for drag racing, but if y

Ironically, larger crossovers have been among the least comfortable cars I have driven. Sure, they are a tad higher so someone with knee issues can more easily get in, but it seems most of the extra space they take up is somehow wasted. I

China has already solved the range problem by speeding up charging. When you can recharge 5 hours of highway driving in range during a 5-minute bathroom stop, an additional few hundred miles just isn't that useful anymore. You could al

The European grocery-bought bag of sugar I have lying around has a regular nutritional label, including a list of ingredients. Spoilers: sugar is made out of sugar and contains almost 100g of sugar per 100g.

Because it isn't a simple loan, and the value of the equipment itself as collateral is highly doubtful anyways. Nvidia is investing in their customers by buying their stock. Nvidia is directly buying compute from their customers. Nvidi

Broadcom has absolutely zero interest in the long-term future of VMware. Their only goal is to squeeze as much money out of it as possible before it goes bust. Let's say that VMware had a $10B revenue with a $9B operating cost. If 0.1%

A huge part of that was fearmongering by people selling compliance consultancy services and people trying to find loopholes allowing them to keep abusing their users' data. For a lot of companies it really wasn't that big of a d

Contrary to popular belief, the EU is not very fast when it comes to enforcement on requirements like these. We already saw this with the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR: those scary hundreds-of-millions-of-euros fines are only handed out after

There have been rumours like this about the US gold storage for decades . Its audits only look at a tiny percentage of the holdings at a time, any kind of weighing or purity inspection is the exception rather than the rule, and third-party

Russia is going to have a very hard time directly attacking the Eurozone without also hitting NATO home soil - which through Article 5 would also pull in plenty of non-Euro countries, including the United States. Besides, shoveling never-

The US has been suffering from late-stage capitalism for quite a while now. The obvious example is Citizens United allowing corporations to make unlimited political bribes. We just pretend it is okay by calling it "lobbying", but

Obviously. Every projection will be off. Unless you are a 15th-century sailor, there is no reason to favor the Mercator projection over any other one. Sticking with it is also a political choice.

The "3rd world" is huge. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly in need of a less-misleading map. On a traditional Mercator projection Africa looks to be smaller than the United States and Canada combined. In reality Africa is 5

How many of the apps you use on a daily base have some form of AI integration? In my experience, outside of FLOSS software it is approaching 100%. How many of those did you intentionally enable it? In my experience, basically 0%. Even wor

A huge chunk of the demand is already fake. It's why there are so many auto-enabled "helpers", blinking nag buttons, and popups begging you to pleasepleaseplease use their new AI feature. The vast majority of people are s

You're forgetting about dividend, and off-market trade. If a company is worthless if it isn't public, then IKEA would be absolute garbage. Quite strange for a company making hundreds of millions in profit for its owners.

Seriously? The "you can't knowingly lie in your financial statements, and you have to make an actual effort when compiling them" section? If that's a "100% dealbreaker" to you, nobody should ever invest in yo
