Are you copying one or more of those works? If so, yes. If you aren't, then no. How do you know? Well as an artist, after thousands of hours of copying, and thousands of hours of drawing from imagination, you know which activity you ar

It feels like a big stretch to consider an algorithm to be 'inspired'. Where are the bits that correspond to 'inspiration'? Seems like that would answer a lot of big questions in philosophy.

That's an interesting point that measuring inequality as a property of a country may be less meaningful with more and more globalization.

I mean... There are a zillion reasons this isn't trivial. Imagine I have an app that pays you, and it has to report taxes on it. It can't just delete your info. Imagine an app that sells alcohol, maybe it needs to make sure it h

"Paid functionality must not be dependent on or require a user to grant access to this data" This almost forces all software that does anything on the internet to be subscription based (or free).

I don't understand how this would work. If I sell a product on my website for 10$, that works on multiple platforms, would each platform be able to take 30%? At that percent and 4 platforms this would be net negative, so that seems w

There was no rich/poor distinction in my example. The only variant is local vs federal funding. And comments to 'who does the park value more', is irrelevant as well. The park could be substituted with anything with any mora

Let's say a group of people want to build a park. They get together, form a 501.3.c, decide how much money everyone's gonna contribute, everyone writes it off as a charitable contribution, and build the park. Let's say a grou

So, 'something' must be able to turn a photon of one wavelength into a photon of another wavelength, otherwise we'd only have 1 wavelength of light in our universe. Moreover, if we assume conservation of energy, changing a ph

"When it hits the walls it registers as a single point" is pretty vague and seems to me to be where you're kinda glossing over a lot of the not-just-a-wave complexity. Im fairly certain you could make an experiment where one

This article clearly shows evidence that masks reduce the spread of covid. In your critique you've changed the question you are debating (again) to 'does a surgical mask filter particles of the size we assume covid to have'.

The question is 'do masks prevent the spread of covid' and the answer is yes (and we knew this back in April [1]). [1] https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-1342?fbclid=IwAR...

(1) This is difficult. You have to support multiple versions within the same executable. So there is an economic barrier. (2) And sometimes, it is impossible. An example is supporting new iphonex+ aspect ratios. There's no way post-l

Yep! The only way you get around it is if you 'invested' in something that (a) either gets 'subsidized by law' (rent and other contracts falls into this category, until the law changes), or (b) still can be produced and
