Copyright is a very, very bad example here, since it's only enforced by aggrieved parties through the legal system. Would you want to take on Facebook in a copyright lawsuit? And, as for these databases, how is anyone going to be

You just literally stated what the end game was: monetize all uses of email, everywhere. Remember what Google's overarching goal is supposed to be? "Organize the world's information," IIRC, with the subtext of "...

If that's all the case, then, where's the proof? It might be "easy to prove," but it's probably not an "I can prove this trivially, on the fly" type of task.

You'd need a way to disable access to your data that doesn't involve suing big companies that have lots of lawyers. And, there's no way to prevent them from copying it.

Sure, but it doesn't matter if you sell to 1, 2, or 5 companies: they've all priced this in to their individual models, which means you can't really get any better with any individual company by, say, giving them an exclusive

Well, now you're being deliberately obtuse, didn't bother to read the link, or perhaps both. The link I posted above compared the symptomology of COVID-related brain damage to moderate TBI. As the American Association of Neurolo

How about this, then. From https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-hidden-long-term-cog... : > There is one inevitable conclusion from these studies: COVID infection frequently leads to brain damage — particularly

Well, that does pose a bit of a problem comparing across years, doesn't it? I'd like to see this sort of statistical analysis done after the calendar flips over to 2021, taking into account the trend of fewer deaths per year, so

Does it take into account that more people tend to die in December, January, and February than other months? In other words, did they adjust December properly? https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/07/10/more-p

Ah, yes, all those smart people making a Brave New World , while that world literally burns is totally not the same as degrading our intellectual capacity.

No, in fact, I would not. If I were a dealer in such things, I would offer a fair amount that lets me make money and isn't an insult to the seller like $16K is. Given that something like this probably has to be sold at auction, I wou

Sure, except I'd never offer someone $16K for something I knew to be worth $1M.

by pmiller2 6y ago
Sure, but I'm reasonably well off, not rich per se , but I am a SWE and I am able to save a good bit of money, and I would definitely have to think twice, and then think twice again, about spending $16K in one go on my hobby.

With mask noncompliance so widespread, what exactly is Biden going to do? Throw all the anti-maskers in jail? Post law enforcement outside their houses to force them to quarantine? In fact, while the state technically has legal authority
