I see where you are coming from. I think that there is a coupled issue that we are going to have to sort out as a society very soon which is that science / publishing is busily disintegrating under the weight of publication counts. I&#

I recommend this book: Q is for Quantum https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0999063502?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_sh... Direct answer, QC's are shown to exist at some scale in our universe. They may not get larger than 1000 qbits

and yet, who pays? This is fine if we are going to go full communist - I have no objection personally - but selective appropriation of peoples livelihoods is more full mafia or full feudal. I don't see that as a step forward.

So on your interpretation if I photocopy a book and then sell the photocopies to my friends there is no infringment? I don't think so, but hey, a photocopier is a machine and it generated the book so should be ok!

by sgt101 3y ago

If you use open source you are accepting the license that says that there is no liability. This is similar to going walking in a national park, there is no liability for an injury that you incur. This is very different from walking in a sho

It's a very successful strategy in any corporate. Focus on the books, produce results, take the bonus and then jump. When things go pear shaped do not be found holding the bag. If later questioned: "it was all great when I was the

What will happen in this case is that large content providers will get paid directly and smaller content providers will get rolled up into a licensing bag and get small indirect payouts. For example, we might see a model where people who&#x
