Sounds cheaper than paying a freelancer $0.025 per word, too. I suppose if you were just starting a blogspam recipe site, you could initially pay freelancers for the first articles, and use them as your training corpus. But since this sort

Photographs, videos, or drawings of recipes in progress are copyrightable, and usually more helpful. Furthermore, they provide evidence that the recipe is actually viable. That's why you shouldn't expect to make a cent from creat

The simple truth is that the core recipes are fact-based and non-copyrightable, and the 1000-word blogspam recipe header is both copyrightable and garners better search result rankings. So the business model is to take facts from the public

Yes, it does. The hypothesis is that "clock molecules" in the bloodstream provide a global age-clock for about five other tissue-specific age-clocks in the body. Spoofing the global clock signal for a long enough period tricks th

It would be smarter to hire a team of social media experts to do that for him, and rotate out the point person through the decon shower and then into the kittens+puppies room whenever they get too much crazy on them.

Opposing political positions have complicated the issue of poverty wages far beyond what is necessary. What we have, in law, is the result of a century of unproductive struggle, that branches out into other parts of the economy. We are sti

People aren't stupid. They do respond to incentives and disincentives. The debt load on young people is greater than the cost of raising a child to adulthood. By the time it is paid off, the urge to procreate has gone. And those who

So tuition and texts could be paid with 150 hours of on-campus labor. Let's call that 15% part-time. Someone on 20 hour/week 50% part-time would therefore have wages left over for things like food, clothing, and housing, and tim

Article states 4s activity followed by 45s seated rest, repeated 5 times. So you're actually occupied with the workout task for 4m+05s every hour, even though only 20s of that is sprinting.

If Russia were mostly undeveloped from the Urals to the Bering Sea, I would indeed be fine with them burning tires in Moscow all day. If Russia started consciously farming carbon sinks across Siberia, they could burn tires in St. Petersburg
