Desperate not to let anyone else have a go at his job.

Why do they all pay for it then? Seems pretty universal in the UK too. Is it having the benefit of someone to blame when things go wrong?

I was picking on her but there are dozens of others who outperform Warren by multiples. And ok he’s pretty conservative but even so this chart is pretty damning. https://watcher.guru/news/congress-stock-trades-outscores

The problem is that everyone else on earth has to suffer the consequences of those choices.

By the time you’ve reacted, it’s already too late.

It’s also funny when you see their performance charted against Warren Buffet’s. Looks like Warren is a rank amateur who knows very little about the markets and buying companies for the right price compared to the likes of Nancy who must be

Maybe this is how xAI gets to that outlandish valuation included in the IPO numbers.

A million dollars please. It’s called a copyright notice. Same as a license. If you’re running a commercial business you can’t legally just take that piece of work and reuse it. Pick any book off your shelf and pretty well every one of them

If my book isn’t in your LLM, then prove it and don’t use my book to train your LLM.

I’m not a user but that doesn’t surprise me. It’s also that Library Genesis was one of the best things on the internet until it came out that Meta had scraped it, at which point it became harder and harder to access. So not only did they pi

I’ve sometimes pondered this about the legal personhood of a company - it has most of the rights as a human being but can’t suffer any of the major consequences, such as jail. It could be possible to construct a legalistic jail for a compan

They’re already on record as hoovering up Library Genesis and Anna’s Archive. For their “fair use” copyright bonfire to train their LLM. So not are these publishers rightfully pissed, Meta didn’t even give them the $6.99 for each epub to be

Even with a battery that can be replaced using a tiny screwdriver, this still doesn’t make it DIY for probably 80-90% of smartphone users.

Was about to post the same thing. It is indeed the under-appreciated pleonasm rather than a tautology.

I’m sure if eBay wanted to build 1800 brick and mortar stores they could do so for less than twenty seven billion dollars.

Neither is ignoring the offer and continuing to hold, if you’ve already been in for two, five, ten, twenty or more years like some have been.

Or ignore the free money/destroy company offer and hold.

I’m not totally sure how it would be structured but if GME is the purchaser then the merged company would be listed under GME and eBay would become a brand in the GME group and no longer a stock listed under the eBay ticker. The whole thing

I don’t understand why eBay shareholders will suddenly want GME memestock and find any interest in voting for this.

See the comment below for the answers you seek. Coming back in twenty years was the answer, which you can’t really understand as an answer right now. Swearing and personal attacks are in breach of forum rules.
