Note that the various platforms have changed their UI to discourage tips, and my impression is that they are doing their best to communicate the reason for the price increase, and it's not possible to determine whether the increased fe

It's a long stretch of the imagination to suggest that this will ever have macroscopically observable effects, and relativity doesn't generally admit any kind of "gravity drive" without exotic matter.

No, you see accounts of that happening, and setting aside problems with veracity, you don't necessarily have a good handle on frequency.

Yes, people would simply invent things, or a similar process with the same effect. The idea of history as some sort of neutral record of events is itself historically novel, and most of our sources around the Norman Conquest has a very pron

At the time it was seen as extremely dubious; the criminal charges are the least surprising outcome.

That's not correct. In the UK there's the Crown Proceedings Act 1947, and in Canada the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act, and Australia this also seems to be the general case, but I didn't immediately find a statutory auth

One thing to note from the USPTO doc is that it describes the reproduction of substantial parts of the source corpus as an error condition. This bears on part of the Author's Guild complaint, that ChatGPT was at one point able to repro

The economic impact discussion to my reading is actually intended to establish standing, by showing a concrete and particularized harm to the plaintiffs. Generally, a well-formed complaint is trying to establish that there exists a 'ca

Your post would be more substantial if it were informed by the arguments against the points you raise by the linked article. In general, looking only at the text of a law is insufficient as a basis for legal analysis.

The linked paper describes the conditions for fair use as given in 17 U.S.C. § 107, of which the first seven words are "the purpose and character of the use". Law is a field where context is essential: to analyze a particular set

Those aren't "political prisoners", they're merely normal criminals, but there's so many of them that the justice system is having a hard time dealing with it. There are only so many federal judges and prosecutors.

Why do you need external validation of what you know? Is a test going to demonstrate that you know something? Is it going to demonstrate that you know what you need to know, or what the person who designed the test thinks you need to know?

Because you're lying about the claim being made. It is correct to say that Trump was elected by a minority of the total votes cast. It would be incorrect to say that he was elected by "some vanishingly small minority", but yo
