Possibly; I don't know the law. I didn't mean that as any kind of legal defence, just a note that the discussion around direct transcription/reproduction doesn't have so much direct relevance here.

I think you're right about straight transcriptions (which the person you replied to was indeed talking about), but the guy in the OP link creates his own arrangements for solo guitar. Although these use all the essential features of th

In this case the tabs (those of his that I've used, anyway) are not note-for-note transcriptions, but arrangements for solo guitar. Basically he takes the melody, chord progression and other distinctive features of the song, and puts i

This and groby_b's interpretation makes sense to me. Basically, assume good faith (within reason), but only temporarily. Not sure it is applicable in all cases the proverb is used, but that's a separate issue.

This seems mostly like a positive spin on "don't actually trust", though. I think if you're not willing to base your actions on the assumption of truth/good faith, you're not really trusting in any meaningful s

Forgive me if this is too much of a tangent, but can anyone explain "trust, but verify" to me? I can't tell if it's drily ironic (basically meaning 'don't actually take anything on trust'), or kind of mean

That's the bit that doesn't ring true to me, his "non-commercial" claim. I'm not at all suggesting that he deserves the treatment he's getting, but it doesn't seem like he's being entirely straightfor

You then have to reveal those parts of your body unedited, though. And in sufficient detail to convince people that these new photos are the unedited ones. If you really need to convince some small number of people that the pictures are fak

I don't know if this is actually true, but I've heard that it's partly about taking away plausible deniability (for people caught on another person's property). If you had to break something/pick a lock/climb t

If anyone doubts the strength of the social pressure to drink alcohol, it's pretty telling that even in societies that stigmatise addiction, it can be easier to hint at alcoholism than to simply say you don't like to drink.

I should add to my other replies: I don't mean to criticise you personally, or your actions in your own particular case. In the general case I think the envelope proposal would often cause offence, but as a compromise with someone init

It does make sense, but I still don't think I could avoid that emotional reaction. It's the combination of asking for a favour while simultaneously signalling that you don't trust me. If we're in zero-trust stranger-to-s

I think this would make a lot of people uncomfortable. I'm relatively pragmatic and untrusting, but I would be offended if someone I knew did this to me. And if it were a neighbour I didn't really know, I would be a bit worried: n

I certainly can't imagine trusting a robot with a dog any time soon. Maybe there's a semi-autonomous, supervised use case, e.g. human takes dog & robot to a park; robot walks laps with the dog, staying close enough for the hum

This seems a bit harsh. What about an elderly/ill/disabled person, who would love the companionship and would make for a kind and responsible owner, except that they aren't capable of consistently giving the dog sufficient ex

I would say those cards were a kind of gambling too, but the current version is much more refined and dangerous. They've had years to perfect the psychology, and it's a lot easier to lose control when you can instantly give in to

Mortality isn't everything. You don't seem to be taking into account the suffering of people who survive -- but are often very sick for quite a long time, and may never fully recover -- and the extra anxiety caused by an unchecked

I don't know how widely this applies, but sometimes undirected anxiety is harder to deal with than being worried about a specific thing. And if you're going to be anxious no matter what, then external circumstances might not affec

This sarcasm seems misplaced. How much effort does it take to share the details of a bug with friends? Not to mention that some bounties are much greater than $50.

It looks like your spreadsheet divides deaths on a given date by (confirmed and estimated) cases on that same date? This will bias your estimate downward. There is a significant lag between diagnosis and death (and even more so between infe
