There is a lot of evidence. I lived through it. Every family with children and an internet connection or MP3 player was terrified of getting ruined suddenly via a letter. It was in the news every day about some other grandpa or single m

I see the USA taking permissive approach for all sorts of AI derived things that would be considered fraud or worse in years past. The laws have not changed, but the lawless in charge are pushing through their takeover. I suspect a drunk wi

Yet countless families, including old folks were ruined during untold numbers of RIAA suits because "converting to save space" is not a permissable use. They used to go around destroying lives by the thousands after Napster was cr

Seems like the kids miss their chance at justice because of section 230 allowing platforms the freedom to remove whatever they want but not be responsible for what they keep or amplify. That is the problem with 230. Censorship is permit

So, there is material there but you are unsatisfied with the thoroughness related to brand identification and want a 99.95 confidence interval on discerning between natural disease vs toxoid injection. It sounds like you believe that DNA co

You are on to something. The extensive copywrite terms have ensured that the work of everyone except the oligarch corporations vanishes into the ether since it cannot be reproduced for over a century if the author lives another 30 years. T

It is a great OS. It needs to be available on newer Motorolas, say 2024 and onward. People want SD card slots, and even 3.5mm headphone jacks. It is the memory card slot that matters most. It is great to have a degoogled phone. Then t

Talking the power company into taking it and calling that recycling is really just renaming the landfill location and making the electric customer's pay for it. Repurposing a failing piece of hardware is not recycling it.

True, but one does not have to replace their gas powered engine and fuel tank and drive train every ten to fifteen years if they want to drive several hundred miles. The problem with EV is destroying the economy to shift it to a tiny few p

That sounds like a hypothesis that brown folks migrated north and evolved to be light as opposed to "light skinned peopled moved to the north". The latter is the historically accurate situation.

Thousands of words and no references list. Lame. Makes me suspect a piece written a bot. I have to dismiss almost all of it since there is no way to fact check and the article is filled with those asides that the bots put in there. The

Age and socioeconomic discrimination. They want only younger people who took the SAT from yuppy societal bastions. Kind of like how Handshake was full of jobs where the firms wanted only recent graduates. Clearly they will pay a lot of m
