AWS didn't steal the technology. They re-invented it in a way that was similar to a patented technology. Imo this is a failure of the patent system. AWS should not have to pay anything in an ideal system.

I've had my Pantum laser printer since 2015 that I paid $45 for an have never had issues with. Though fwiw I don't print much so it hasn't had much wear.

I believe technically the copies themselves are not illegal, but the process by which DRM is circumvented is illegal.

Non-opiois drugs should generally be legal imo. Opioids specifically are tricky.

Hopefully Prospera wins and the socialist president loses. Honduras would benefit from more foreign investment. She's not doing her people any favors.

Even if the ballot is pen and paper, you still need machines to count them. Hand counting just isn't practical.

Imo the far greater potential is in the oceans. There are vast stretches of barren wasteland with low oxygen and low nutrients in the oceans. We could deliver those ingredients for life artifically.

I disagree. I think this is going to empower creatives like never before. Filmmaking currently takes a huge amount of time and money. Countless would be filmmakers are relegated to making 30 second tiktoks because that's all they can a

The book I read was Revelations by Erik Hoel. It was a mystery novel about consciousness researchers. But Hoel is a literature nerd as well and so wrote it in that style. Would perhaps come off as pretentious if not for the good execution.

Were Neanderthals more genetically different from typical Homo sapiens than modern day pygmy peoples? Iirc, Khosians also diverged genetically from other regional peoples.

Their ratio was about the same as homo sapiens. It's not clear that they were less intelligent, they seem to have had a similar degree of intelligence based on findings from caves in Spain.

Sure but autopilot can brake and steer to avoid an accident. Though apparently the Cybertruck doesn't actually have this yet? That makes this completely fucking crazy.
