Bankruptcy is great for human thriving, and the extensive US bankruptcy system is one of the best tools our legal system has for people who wind up in bad situations. It's a complete shame that we decided that student loan debt was ine

Yeah, it's clear from reading things that there's a lot of personal animosity around all of this, and Italo Vignoli's resignation[1] makes it clear that everyone has mud all over themselves. But that said, it's almost im

Most of the ongoing support was additions to unemployment wasn’t it? So that should have been replacing lost wages and you wouldn’t expect most of it to show up in this “average poverty” metric. I know a lot of people saw more from those ex

Even if we take a face value the assertion that a 1200 one time check raised so many people out of poverty, it seems incredibly difficult to believe that single check for that single time was enough to change this "average poverty&quot

I'm not really sure why you think my comment specifically citing the recent rulings by Judge Alsup and also the prior history with respect to the Google Books project is somehow declaring "I can do whatever I like to any copyright

I believe you are misinterpreting the ruling. Remember that a copyright claim must inherently argue that copies of the work are being made. To that end, the case analyzes multiple "copies" alleged to have been made. 1) "Copi

So far, all the relevant court cases that have actually been adjudicated have come down on the side of training LLMs to be a sufficiently transformative use of copyrighted material to fall under "fair use". If a case about the GPL

The guy in the linked video up thread tore the whole computer down in 6 minutes. I'm pretty sure most people can manage to find 12 minutes out of their life every 5 years to replace the battery if they want. But if that is too arduous
