Why is it copyright infringement? How is this different from playing music with different settings (more bass, less bass) or playing it at different speeds?

Re: purpose on life-people can volunteer in their local communities or online. But the biggest worry for me is not my purpose of life in the AI era, but my standard of living. I have way more control over the former than over the latter.

Thanks for posting the settlement. I skimmed and it seemed good until section 13: expiration of judgment. This will expire in 5 years. What would prohibit Greystar from re-starting its bad practices 5 years from now? Is this time limit ( 5

Oh, there will be bad effects from that -like inflation spike. The reason the interest rates are not zero is because the Fed still has some political independence. This independence will go away next summer when Trump will replace Powell wi

Owners of US treasuries are: Japanese government, a whole bunch of rich Arab Middle East governments, Social Security, Federal reserve, and the Chinese government. With the exception of the last one, the other holders are political captives

Well, US has more guns than people… I don’t think US will succumb to “you are poor because you deserve it “ without some violent conflicts.

I think between 5-10 years US will run into a deficit spiral: US will not be able to control its deficit. When that time comes make sure you will not need any additional credit and you have enough savings for 6 months to a year of expenses.

Hmm, to your anecdotes I will add mine. I have been harassed in the International District at around 10:00 pm by drug dealers - was offered drugs, told them to go away so I was yelled “Get off my block”. A hobo spilled his beer on my wife w

Except that in this particular case these were not bullshit articles. I had time to read them and I agree with them. You should read the articles before calling them names….

Linking from right-wing organizations does not make the facts presented in the articles less true… you should critique the content of the articles, not their origin.

A post claiming that the dollar is dead without mentioning Trifflin’s dilemma [0] is not a serious post. A post claiming the dollar is dead without explaining why a large freely traded currency backed by a large economy (I.e the Euro) did n

The facts are mentioned are well documented and available on Wikipedia. You can google them yourself. My “rant” was actually an explanation of how communist countries had low levels of inequality. Speaking about proof-where is yours? Your e

The only bad things in the daily NK life you mentioned are poverty and inequality (more about that below [0]). You did not mention famine, physical oppression, lack of healthcare, censorship-all of which are well documented. I am afraid it

Oh my God, you are so naive. Normal stuff in NK is watching your kids wasting away because of lack of calories (average North Korean is 10 inches shorter than average South Korean-even though 70nyears ago they were the same people genetica

In Romania during the 70s and 80s the only people who would go to specialization/training in the West had spouse and kids that stayed behind. The punishment for defecting was that the defector would not see their wife/husband&#x2F

I was surprised to see ATL/MFC received security updates such as Spectre mitigation. So there is still some support for these 30 year old components.

Seriously I wish we could split the country. Let the deplorables live by themselves un-vaxxed, with guns, religion and all of their other non-sense. And let us normal people live by ourselves with science and compassion. (Unfortunately this

Not sure how is it now, but when I worked in a plant overtime work was paid at 150% rate of regular pay. Work during national holidays was paid at 200% rate. Isn’t this still the case? (The workforce at the plant was unionized and the highe

Oh but the population will have to sacrifice - there is no way food supply will not be affected. Florida’s orange production in 1996 was 174 million boxes[0] since 2020 it is around 52 million boxes[1]. Beef production is lower because of d

Not quite. WW1, and its continuation WW2, was a fight between Germanic states on one side vs. Britain and France on the other side. The fight ended (it really ended!!!) when two powerful outsiders (US and USSR) invaded and split the Europea

The follow-up after Jerry Yang initially refused Ballmer: somehow Jerry had a come-to-Jesus moment and decided to sell but by then Ballmer changed his mind. Jerry even chased Ballmer on a golf course trying to sell but to no avail. https:&

I am somewhat surprised to see the bucket memory layout which is: [k1/v1],[k2,v2],[k3/v3] etc. where k1,k2,k3 are keys and v1,v2,v3 are values. The CPU cache will not contain more than one [k,v] pair - because the CPU cache line i

The way money is re-shored is whenever a US President (so far only republican Presidents) decide to give companies a tax holiday. So far Bush and Trump gave such holidays. Which means that corporate treasuries only have to wait for the next
