That just means the money moves in stealthier ways. Instead of soft corruption you get hard corruption.

It also seems to leave the door open to similar outcomes in other jurisdictions, compounding the potential loss.

The framing immediately put me on guard. It feels like clear manipulation to direct hostility at this ‘1%.’

We should copyright nothing, but instead we are trying to copyright everything. Who wants this, other than giant monster corpos?

Telling stories about who you are seems valuable. I almost think tying recordings to specific life events might be a mistake.

I have located different bits of old media recorded of my grandfathers on both sides. One example being a long form interview about my maternal grandfather’s Korean War experiences. I enjoy watching or listening to these from time to time.

Or the calculated lies of propagandists. The fact that ancient histories were written with an agenda in mind may be true, but that does not mean they are improved by adding further layers of ‘constructed truth,’ IE, lies.

The challenge may have also been artistic. I don’t know if those artists would have been up for a branching labyrinth. I have seen how medievals drew cats and they do not look right.

Yep. Now it is a legal cudgel wielded most effectively by corporate giants. It has mutated to become completely philosophically opposed to what it was expressly created to protect.

To me, the presence of such groups indicates we are a tolerant society.

You are right, ‘legal definition’ isn’t right, but the legal doctrine derives from the Michigan Supreme Court’s ruling in Dodge vs Ford Motor co. “Dodge v. Ford Motor Co., 204 Mich 459; 170 NW 668 (1919), is a case in which the Michigan Sup

Isn’t that because how we legally define success via public trading returns? It seems like privately owned businesses can avoid that ‘line must go up’ stupidity.

These are usually powerful and organized criminal gangs. They are not small time, put-food-on-table-because-it’s-the-only-way. If you interact with criminals, they are not the ‘noble poor,’ they are predatory and see their victims as deserv

Could have easily been some kind of maneater. The human-predation behavior of the Tsavo lions or the Sankebetsu/Tomamae brown bear are not at all common, but are know. The tsavo lions were also not taken seriously at first, because li

That’s still depressing, as it seems to imply you can only effect the monolith if you are an influential minority. You can’t just say ‘this policy is bad for everyone?’ You have to wield a marginalized group like a battering ram?

Your second paragraph really drives home how hostile Martian conditions are. People seem not to realize how inimical to Terran life the Red Planet is. It’s not as simple as Matt Damon growing some potatoes fertilized with his poo.

I mean… is circumventing the completely broken US IP system really a problem?

Harris was also good in The Terror, which was a messy show but made me a big fan of the actor (Cirian Hinds was also good).

I would not be surprised if Paramount’s legal counsel told them it would be safer from a liability standpoint to trash it.

Believe whatever you want. But humans are far more than these sad obfuscated mechanical Turks being presented as ‘Artificial Intelligence.’

We don’t have computers even in the ballpark of super intelligence, we have computers that are overhyped stochastic parrots.

The distinction between civil and criminal liability seems minor- either way this will have a massive chilling effect and force any website to carefully vet hosted content for fear of being sued. The threshold for criminal prosecution is ve

I think they are pointing out that if the first principles are completely different, everything that follows after will be different also. What is good/bad determines what policies should be pursued, and those actual real-world police’
