I'm jealous as hell of the EU citizens that get such good protections. I'm sure it's a mixed bag like everywhere but my experience with activity tracking is that a lot of people do aggressively refuse tracking when given the

That's extremely disingenuous and ignores the amount of labor required to self-file in the US. Most of the information you send to the IRS they already know - they just can't tell you because Intuit wants to justify their existen

I think it's perfectly reasonable for CPR not to hand over a shipping container I claim contains my stolen property - but they should stop transporting the goods so they can be offshored.

I guess technically? The first Canadian railway was opened in 1836 (while CPR wouldn't be opened until 1885). Canada gained self-governance in 1867 but it was endorsed by the British government and didn't radically change the ad

Objections to how fobs would weaken security were made before they were introduced and fell on deaf ears - I'm not certain why car companies would start listening now. I want my physical keys and knobs and buttons on the console back -

As someone who has developed a commercial app and spent time on the app store - their review process is a joke... there are non-compliances all over the store and I suspect a lot of their review process is highly automated.

We already have laws covering close derivatives - in this case it might not be clear who is the inspiration but there is no novel creativity... everything these networks produce is derived from artists - there is no added novelty.

At the moment we can at least still use the poor quality of AI text to speech to filter out the dogshit when it comes to shorts/reel/tik toks etc... but we'll eventually lose that ability as well.

Yes - Apple is literally the outlier. Apple is the single most profitable company by a wide margin.

A business that effectively feels consumer pressure. With their oligopoly neither Apple nor Google are feeling any consumer pressure to behave as good actors.

Small shops next to large banks almost never get robbed - convenience stores in a neighborhood that cops tend to ignore... that's a different story. Most of the world's oceans are pretty thoroughly patrolled so if the risk is t

A few decades is a long time - we overfished the grand banks to near extinction in the 90's and they still haven't recovered[1]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_Atlantic_north...

Windows 11 broke basic task bar customization - how do you so completely ignore your users? Pinning my taskbar to the side of my monitor is the hill I'll die on.

In Canada at least it's because fire-fighters aren't trained to bypass them and, as you said, concerns about people within being unable to escape.

It depends how old the washer is though - a lot of times the older ones are just plain better than newer models with their planned obsolescence and weird software junk that frequently is the first component to break.

They're hella illegal in America because of weird fire code rules - so you rarely see any support for them on US oriented websites.

Git branches have rules on origin - those rules are enforced with a big stick. What you do in your own clone of the repository is between you and god alone.

Well transfer payments are a lot more complicated than some folks would have you believe - Canada as a nation benefits from all our parts being within a common business zone so while some areas are mineral rich other areas have strong servi

Quebec is essentially a different country altogether - there are a legion of strange HR rules and requirements that are entirely specific to QC.

I'd clarify that in my example the screening would be of the potentially random output of a model... just one that was only trained by watching a specific blockbuster movie and thus extremely likely to just reproduce the source materia

Well it's a different jurisdiction entirely - but if that case was happening in Japan after this ruling it'd likely be extremely easy for OpenAI to win the case.

It'd be really interesting to open up a movie theater in Japan that just ingests blockbusters through a "do nothing" NN and then be able to screen them royalty free. This decision feels incredibly half baked.

Pretty much yea - while trying to make way for progress Japan may have accidentally blown a gigantic hole in their IP rights system that renders the whole thing essentially moot.

As a result of these copyright prohibitions Muppet Babies is in much more danger of becoming lost media. A lot of the early film media we lost wasn't just the cinematic flops (though we did lose quite a lot of that) but instead films

At this point I'm pretty convinced that ads are damaging to mental health (at least the ones we see today). Modern advertising normalizes consumerism, drives down our attention span, and overloads us with blinking lights and exciting

And every little Timmy wants the nice shiny cloak and character profile for their Honkai Star Rail account. Cosmetics and pay-to-win offerings both print money.

I'd be quite willing to take this wager - it might not be something they readily offer but I'm pretty certain if someone asked their data scientists to pull together such a demographic they could manage it with ease.

Yea - because Google is just outright acting evil in a number of ways. A good example is the fact that background blur isn't supported in google meet in FF and that audio translation is similarly blocked in FF. These are just arbitra
