The AI giants were arguing that if they bought the books they can scan them. The court said they can if the original doesn't exist anymore. The same court would presumably be ok with you making a digital copy of a VHS but only if you d

It's both. The court has ruled that they can't make a copy of the book, but if they scan and destroy the original then it's fine because it's not creating additional copies.

App pinning exists on Android already, it's extremely useful if you're handing over your phone to your child to just watch netflix or whatever :P It's just extremely unintuitive, I had to google where it is.

TBF at the very start of the Android ecosystem you could make literally anything and get lots of downloads. I got a completely free Galaxy Nexus from Google because my app was one of the first to cross 10k downloads on the play store....the

I work in software and I wonder what companies are letting in those 25k line PRs? If I change more than 3 files at once that's already rising a sea of eyebrows and it will be a week or more to get it through code review. I can't e

....are you ok? That's an insane comparison to be making in this situation. Unless I don't know, you're from a country that doesn't value social cohesion?

Correct. It's another thing that's hard to come to terms with - I know that statistically robberies, theft and violent crimes are going down. But I also know several people who had their garages broken into and their bikes and car

Are you one of those people who think riding an electric motorcycle across our parks and on cycling paths is completely fine and just kids messing about? Or did you just miss that part of my comment?

It's not the balaclava part I have an issue with, if you couldn't guess.

And the thing that absolutely fucks me off about all of this, is that we don't even get a lawful society in exchange for all of this. On one hand, there's no privacy anywhere. On the other - have your car stolen or a bike? House b

It was actually both in one executable. Pretty neat. But I will agree that OP might have played it in Microsoft Dos on a PC, so the original point still applies.

Quake launched 2 full years after Playstation 1, so I find it somewhat unlikely you've never heard of a Playstation. And if you have it on CDs you must have played it on PC with Microsoft Windows, so I'd assume a Microsoft PC Stor

Or the copyright owner recognises that suing the current administration in court is going to risk other negative consequences and those are not worth the risk. Or perhaps it's just that taking the US government to court is going to cos

Hmmm look, I can offer you my perspective on this. I've been a low level engine programmer in video games all my working life. I worked on a few AAA games that sold 20M+ copies, I'm not saying this to boast, I'm saying this t

Yep, I made several games for the Pico-8, it's really really fun.

It's just not the same. I made games for the PSP and Vita and it's "different" than making games for Windows or Playstation/Xbox. There's something about seeing your creation on a tiny handheld. I guess maybe n

I mean, there is plenty of people out there who enjoy the process of making a game(they have a really clear idea of gameplay mechanics they think would be fun when put together) but they really don't enjoy programming at all. I guess i

Right, but the article isn't about posts, but about a paid ad campaign - surely those are started in numbers that could be moderated?

I just said I haven't heard about it - anything beyond that is your own interpretation. I thought I was very explicit in my previous comments that things are definitely _not_ fine.

It would be great if not for the fact that at least over here in the UK your doctor or anyone from the NHS will always call you from a restricted number. So especially if you're elderly and have regular check ups or anything medical go

Not heard of that one. >>You'd think it was NK I mean, only someone who knows literally nothing about either the UK or NK would think that, but I guess on the internet you are free to think anything you want.

You mean like those few people arrested for disturbing peace during the Queen's funeral/coronation of the King? Yeah, that shouldn't have happened and courts have generally agreed that it was a police overreach. But I can ass

I mean, it's all a matter of perspective and where you are coming from. Like, I could easily say that literally any piece of news coming from the US makes me not want to move there no matter how much money you pay me. But at the end of

I'm guessing because insurance companies would love to put their hands on that data, so it can be repackaged and sold off. Or Palantir can offer a model trained on it, so it's not technically selling the data itself.

by gambiting 2mo ago
So, what is going to happen now? Someone in the UK government goes "ooops, sorry" and Palantir gets to keep access to this data? Or are we just going to have another 10 year long enquiry of how exactly this happened that leads to

Eh? Would you? I have two degrees and I never mentioned exactly what they are on my CVs, literally just like above - "2010-2014 Computer Science at University X". I've reviewed countless CVs when I was a hiring manager for a

Yes, that's correct. As I pointed out in the other comment, that's already an illegal installation.

I mean sure but right now in the UK you can only add one 800W source without planning permissions. I'm just not sure what we're trying to say here - can someone create a dangerous situation for themselves by ignoring the rules? Ye
