You have to ask yourself - why would SF get this reputation among all possible cities, for no reason at all? A lot of people have fun anecdotes about visiting San Francisco. For example, I was in SF for 3 days and was chased by a man with a

Oh, yup. I knew him as "crazy bob" through all his guice comments, and didn't connect that these were the same Bob Lees until your comment.

The reality is even more amazing than the graph lets on, because Usain has never failed a drug test, whereas the 4 people directly to his left have, and the 5th person suspiciously missed enough drug tests to be temporarily banned. It'

Wouldn't an sufficiently smart algorithm segment (users, items) into reconsumable vs one-offs? If you buy a USB hub you might like it enough to buy another. If you buy a washer, you probably won't like it enough to buy another. Bu

Well, fraud has been happening for the entirety of recorded history, so that seems like a tough lesson to learn.

Can we really trust an AI summarizer to summarize a report on AI which may reflect poorly on AI?

People really need to learn if you get a huge pay day via fraud, then take your cash and head over to a country on rocky diplomatic terms with the US and no extradition treaty, and be generous with your hosts.

Only in some cultures. For example, in the US, in Hawaii, you will find male politicians wearing more than just suits.

Clothing, besides for utilitarian purposes like heat regulation and skin protection, is also about signaling and communicating to others. So I would expect it to be rare to find it divorced from that secondary purpose anywhere.

You're not wrong - but for perspective this is equivalent to a 90 year old picking up a hobby 5 hours ago.

by oh_sigh 4y ago
That can't be his work, since he only picked up that hobby about 0.000625% of the universe's timespan ago.

If they aren't copyrightable, couldn't they still be classes as a trade secret and still fall under IP law? Though I'm not sure if distributing the weights to people who sign a simple agreement to not redistribute would count

Perhaps because if the semi permanent structure gets damaged, the chances of mating for that animal effectively go to zero.

Has any artist ever successfully sued for relief where some other artist merely used their style?

Besides for the fact that current LLMs don't understand anything, being first isn't part of that statement. Google also wasn't first to have a search engine, or a video sharing site, or an ad exchange, or an email service.

Artists own the art they created, they don't own the style that they might have invented.

by oh_sigh 4y ago
You can't prevent others from using a style though. Which is why there are so many bands that people might remember having their songs appear in car commercials, but it turns out the car company just paid for a sound-alike clone of a b

Not really an alternate. I did the Camino de Santiago from vezelay and it was along roadways for the most part. Some beautiful, out of the way roadways, but still roadways. This trail network seems much more in the wilderness, considering

Under the laws of what group is American presence in Syria illegal? Is it American laws? The UN? Syrian laws?

Or maybe Americans are overwhelmingly trying to smuggle across border crossings because traditionally Americans get less inspection than non-americans, whereas non nationals choose other methods(tunnels, drones, boats, other non-border zone

Where exactly would you mount a light like the one you linked? 10 hours per day sounds like a crazy amount of time to use a light. I think we use some lights in our house maybe 4 hours per day on average max. Maybe I just have a lot of wind
