I don’t fully follow this, but this seems to be the crux of the ruling: > The Rogers test is "not appropriate when the accused infringer has used a trademark to designate the source of its own goods - in other words, has used a trad

Three sentence summaries probably wouldn’t qualify for copyright protection. The same should be true of code - if we think the standard for copyright protection is too low, we should raise the bar on complexity requirements, not throw out c

It’s possibly his first offense (no knowledge on that). What I was trying to say is that folks rarely get caught their first time doing something nefarious, which makes stiffer penalties important in my opinion.

Unless he wasn’t the first and this possibly wasn’t his first time. All we really know is it’s the first time for someone to get caught and penalized for this. Serious penalties seem reasonable in my opinion.

Examples or even anecdotes. There aren’t allegations in the article of any sort of union busting, other than someone is suing without details of what the person is alleging.

This reads more like a highly opinionated blog post. I’m not saying its claims aren’t true, but it certainly doesn’t bother to present hard evidence. It’s also just a bizarre list of complaints, primarily that Meta should have a larger pres

What an odd article. The title and contents don’t match (at least the title and main example where a candidate disqualified himself by asking annoying questions). I’m honestly not sure what point the author is trying to make.

I’m not sure it matters much that the current model can’t reproduce Harry Potter verbatim. If it can do smaller more quoted works now, it’ll tackle larger more obscure things in the future. It’s just a matter of time until it can output lar

The title here is misleading (the original wasn’t great, but calling it a “ban” is even worse). It looks like this just ramps up penalties for already illegal activities, such as blocking major roads (as recently happened). Pretending this

The problem is disproportionate scale. At what point is an amber alert likely to cause more harm than good. Is notifying 2m people likely to cause at least one accident? How about every person in the country? The real issue I have isn’t the

It’s unfortunate that, at least in California, silver alerts are bundled with amber alerts. The volume of silver alerts was so high (several a week) that I turned them off which also turned off amber alerts. I have to wonder what the cost&#

I switched to Colemak for 6 years and then back quite some time ago (something like 2009-2015). Colemak was certainly more comfortable as the author noted but I found enough friction that I switched back: * Shared machines are hard to avoid

I’ve never really understood picking favorites for music, games, movies, etc. I’ve always found “what’s your favorite <x>?” a hard question to answer. What’s wrong with enjoying things without ranking them? Do other people find rankin

Not a recent example, but the Ellipsoid Method[0] is a famous example of this. It took a class of problems (Linear Programs) from NP to P in 1979 but was completely impractical (I want to say something like N^6). It has an interesting histo

The quote says the opposite of that. Depositors are not investors or owners. How can so many people misread this?

I don’t understand this debate. The article says nothing about whether or not depositors will be bailed out.

I would guess that’s where Dias started. His thesis probably wasn’t his first piece of academic fraud. After getting away with fraud for so long, it’s possible the fraud got bigger in the classic “I’m too smart to get caught” way.

I’m no expert, but I’m highly skeptical of observational studies like this. The amount of confounding factors is almost limitless. Surely those that take vitamin D supplements are practicing better self care in general and less likely to, f
