Those are two different meaning of the same word though, and the one in your usage is not specifically nautical, so I’m not sure it qualifies. But a good pun nonetheless.

Or will they have a monopoly on the therapeutic red light glasses that all kids will need? After all, the market could be even bigger than now because all parents would want to make sure their kids get their daily dose of red light.

It depends on the business model of the photographer. Higher end photographers usually work as you describe, but some, particularly on the lower cost end or in places like malls (think Santa or Easter Bunny pictures), will take dozens of ph

It seems that any language stating intentions in the Constitution has only as much relevance to real laws as the relative strength of the lobbyists arguing for/against the provision in question, e.g. "A well regulated militia...&q

But it's a plausible situation (terminal/severe illnesses are not that rare) and a relevant argument against the "expire on death" copyright proposal. Laws often need to deal with "stupidly specific" cases beca

Yes, in the US when you try to get prints of photos that look to be professionally taken, you'd often be asked for the photographer's copyright release, especially if it's something like wedding photos where there are usually

Human creators are regularly accused of plagiarism, and a common defense is to claim that one accidentally reproduced another work without realizing it. But that defense only works if the copying is very limited. If whole paragraphs are rep

Clippy: It looks like you’re trying to turn Earth into Arrakis. Would you like some help with that? More seriously though, as the effects of climate change intensify, I think it’s all but inevitable we’ll have to seriously look at manipulat

I’m hoping that Mozilla has a secret plan to extend Fakespot beyond just shopping and to become the killer app for distinguishing all AI generated content. May not even be possible to achieve, but that would be a worthy goal for Mozilla.

But the first line of his resume will be “Achieved 100% market share among gnome-keyring users.” That’s gonna bring all the recruiters to the yard.

It's not just the expense of getting around taxes, but also the difference in sources of income. If most of the income is on a W-2, there are just not as many ways to get around any income taxes. But if it's mostly business or inv

I have been semi-reliant on FakeSpot to deal with fake reviews, but I just ran one of the Tom Lesley books through, and FakeSpot gave it a solid A. Looks like I’ll have to find a better way going forward. Sigh…

Ok, free SAAS idea: scan your AI generated text for telltale signs! $9/mo Pro, $59/mo Business, $499/mo Enterprise. Shouldn’t take more than a few lines of shell script.

You mean Alexa? She’s too busy playing the wrong song for me on my Echo to deal with such trivialities.

It’s a huge shame too because it shouldn’t be that hard for Amazon to filter it out. It’s not like there isn’t a database of these classic works, at least the ~2000 most popular ones that must account for 95+% of searches. If only they had

Yeah that’s pretty obvious, and yours sounds a bit like it too, especially starting off with “While…”. I do find it hilarious that the ChatGPT default style sounds very much like how I wrote in high school. I guess I was still training my o

What you’re looking for is DCS by Eagle Dynamics. Looks incredible and has very good realism. It does need a pretty beefy system to run well with all the eye candy turned on.

Yes, if you count central banks and don’t mind hyperinflation. But that’s probably not what you’re asking. I don’t think any ordinary commercial or retail bank could survive a run without outside help.

Tesla has the highest profit margin in the car business. They didn’t get there by putting in layered safety systems. That kind of redundancy wouldn’t be optimal for profit generation.

Fun fact: the F-117 had its first flight in 1981 and has already been retired from combat duty for nearly 15 years[0]. So “new” is perhaps not quite the right word to describe it. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loc
