The closest we have are emissions reductions on power generation and other highly polluting facilities. Carbon capture of CO2 from the atmosphere is not being used successfully, anywhere. There are plenty of feel good articles about trials

The histories often talk about empty or sparsely populated lands. Which in some cases is dramatically different to what archaeology tells us. Either the historians were lying, or the diseases spread faster than the explorers. The jungle wil

I'm waiting for the article about online marketing no longer being possible. And everything (except the marketing department) becomes better because search directs you to what you want to find, rather than what the highest marketing bu

End users won't use the header. Email clients will use the header when you hit the report spam or unsubscribe buttons they will display.

Forwarding an email should strip this header, probably along with most of the other irrelevant ones potentially containing sensitive information the user isn't aware of. Forwarding an email with GMail only keeps the From, To, Date and

Kicking off a chain of emails a user cannot easily opt out of could well be the sort of emails users want to lose. There probably should be a one-click 'stop emailing me' button, for this and future purchases. Which would be a sup

The measure really is how many joules of energy is required to heat something a certain amount of joules. By burning oil or converting electricity to heat, 1 joule of stored chemical or electrical energy converted to heat energy will raise

Such a terrible tragedy if a company has to give the lions share of its billions in profit to the people who made it possible. Maybe this is how the news and publishing industries get repaired.

Self publishing certainly muddied the waters for statistics on author income, which is why the survey and article break things down info self published and traditionally published. Fundamentally though, it isn't if you qualify for the

This was Science Fiction/Fantasy with major publishers early to mid 2000s. The 50% ebook royalty dropped to I think 10% not long after.

The major publishers seem to have gutted their editing staff over the last decade or so, and submitted manuscripts changed little before publishing. The primary editor you get barely has time to read it, and an outsourced copy editor (who

I wonder what the loss would be for 'translated into Finnish'? Translations between just about any human languages will contain less than 100% of the original.

Training stores a variation of the source material, which is arguably distribution. And selling the result or selling access to it certainly is. So fair use applies, and hoping a court thinks the process is transformative to count as fair u

Midjourney cannot grant you the copyright to an image it generates, because it may generate the same or very similar image for another user. The best it can do is grant you a non-exclusive permissive license. And maybe it would get in troub

I don't know US, but if similar to Australia then you can sell the machines, but there are specific regulations regarding public access to them, which boils down to posting notices about copyright violations and passing liability onto

It is not perfectly legal to have a machine paint a copy of another image. And in either case, you can't sell the work without ending up in court. https://petapixel.com/2022/12/08/photographer-loses-plaga

It would still be distributing copyrighted work, even if it doesn't store a copy at any stage. It would go the way of Napster.

You are arguing that Spotify should not pay royalties or license fees for songs, because it is the user might break the law by playing an unlicensed song. Oh, wait. It isn't the user. Spotify and Midjourney are actually the guilty part

Copyright law does not apply to imaginary reproductions, such as your imagination. Your question becomes more interesting if get someone to draw that scene from Blade Runner. At that point, it comes down to if a judge considers the derivati

If Bic made a pen that came preloaded with unlicenced images of Batman and guided you to reproduce them, then yes.

Quite similar to the New York Times lawsuit. If you can reproduce an original work, then use of the source material was obviously not transformative, and not covered under fair use. These systems can currently function like a lossy compress

I thought it well known that pigs were considered as smart as dogs. Pigs might be a special case, as they are kept as pets much as a dog would be in a few countries.

We can't trust foreign companies for various reasons. The solution seems to be to do the testing locally, not using vehicles provided by the manufacturer for testing purposes. Which seems to be what happens in Australia: https:/&

Even today, a Wordpress blog costs about as much as a coffee per month. And that would be less without all the crap needed to serve ads and track users and monetize everything. I can't wait to find out what an ad-free Internet looks li

This is unworkable. You can't penalize a company because their employees did not follow the safety guidelines they promised they would or are legally obliged to follow. Especially when a large number of workers are self employed. You c

And the reason for the ban, which I think many American readers are missing. The ban was demanded by the trade unions. While the union members could probably be relied on to use PPE appropriately, they would also have to charge for it. They
