I disagree. The product is extremely similar to processed soy beans. Anything you can do with it, you can already do with soy beans. Adding what is essentially a new variety of soy bean onto the market will not affect demand for animal prot

How does it feel to be part of the 1%? You are the publishing industry equivalent of a whale.

I'm pretty sure that means 35% of books covered their advance (ie. authors actually started getting paid royalties). I think it is still about $1 per full price paperback (physical or ebook).

Nothing is going to go all digital, except maybe sales. Print-on-demand means that every ebook can also be a physical trade paperback, if the publisher chooses. Amazon even have a button you can click to give a free copy of the ebook to eve

Fiction only sells a lot if you hit the best seller lists . Most books do not, and it has been this way since at least 2000. For most fiction authors, you would make more money at a minimum wage job. You know, all the ones you haven't

Most Kindle books are not sold with DRM, for many years now. I don't know about other platforms. Readers yelled at publishers until they stopped enabling it, and turned out it didn't make enough difference to keep annoying their

The competition isn't animal farming. The competition is soy beans. Replacing animals with a vegan alternative is an economic problem in that chicken is incredibly cheap to produce. And a social problem, because bacon tastes good and w

I'm somewhat curious how this compares energy-wise to other carbon capture technologies. When the byproduct is food, you could justify using it for that purpose even if quite inefficient, as you can save the energy that would otherwise

Eliminating poverty is the best and probably only socially acceptable way of 'improving' humans (and even that will face friction with some groups). I think we already know enough to say that in a world without poverty, a huge chu

I can't see it working for many artists. As more artists go for high friction distribution, that sheen of exclusivity gets lost and that little hit of endorphins you got by making a little bit of effort stops happening. Consumers will

The point is lowering liability. By choosing to not use voice authentication (or whatever), it becomes easier to argue that fraud is your fault. Or if you did use it, the company 'is doing everything they can' and 'exceeding

And good on them for allowing use on other manufacturer's vehicles, attached to number plates. Hope this works.

Manufacturers continuing to use low cost imported parts instead of high cost US manufactured parts will cause prices to increase?

Someone will grab the low end, currently served by cheap ICE cars and the second hand market. Premium and prestige brands will of course continue to charge premium and prestige prices, because that is their market.

Watch Australia. I feel the same way about the incumbent manufacturers and their pricing and chasing the higher end market. But BYD has come and captured a huge chunk of the EV market, and that is before releasing their low cost vehicles.

Of course. Like Quorn, mold in your freezer for nearly 40 years. Or blue cheese for that matter.

New legislation will trump court rulings, and I can't see this one lasting long with Right to Repair legislation happening. Right to Repair requires making compatible versions of software.

How is distributing a model containing copyright material any different to distributing a .zip file containing copyright material? Both contain an encoded, transformed copy of the work. And both can be used to reproduce the original work. T

I tend to think licenses will be required to train models made available to the public. The tech companies have deep pockets and lawyers, but so do the big media companies. And the big media companies have a more effective propaganda arm. M

If you read out the book in class, that might be fine. If you recorded the class and uploaded it to youtube, that would be public broadcast and a copyright violation. If your students with eidetic memory quoted parts in public, that would b

Owning a copy of a book doesn't give me the right to make copies and sell them or even give them away. You can't even do that with publicly available material unless it has been put in the public domain or exceptions like fair use

Even European authors will be able to sue a system that produces unauthorized reproductions of their work. Just because you can train a model, you still don't necessarily have the right to sell or give away access to it (unauthorized d

It seems a cure rather than a treatment. If the correct neurons can be found via MRI and the condition deemed suitable for treatment, the neurons get destroyed and I think no ongoing medication or repeat treatments are required. I believe
