Most of the art in museums is long past the copyright date. This includes many artists who are considered "modern". Works by Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Henri Matisse, M. C. Escher, Max Ernst and Constantin Brâncuși are some found on

Toxicity depends upon the amount. CO2 is toxic and regularly kills humans when space heaters fail. But it's everywhere in the atmosphere in small amounts.

What do you mean "different viewpoint"? Isn't it supposed to be neutral? Are you inadvertently making the administration's point?

To be a pedant, the inputs for photosynthesis are pretty toxic to humans. Sunlight burns and causes skin cancer. CO2 also kills people each winter when space heaters aren't properly vented.

Yeah, seems like plenty of wishful thinking. There's not much official that we know and plenty that's been added in the centuries afterwards.

No! A friend of a friend asked an AI and the AI said they were real. Honest. But it was the other AIs. Not the one the friend asked.

Sad but true. For instance, there are subprofessional tiers for many sports like cycling. They generally don't have drug testing because of cost and the presumption that no one would cheat for a mere hobby. But occasionally people get

I think the argument from Trump's lawyers is more subtle. Certainly editing is allowed-- but deliberately editing out poor answers could be seen as a donation to the campaign. Especially if it's not applied equally. Furthermore, i

How? Money. There is one problem with the current US system: it overproduces talent. When the US system was growing rapidly, the people could build a long-term career in the US. But nothing can grow forever at an exponential pace. The US co

All tech becomes a crutch. People can't wash their clothes without a machine. People can't cook without a microwave. Tech is both a gift and a curse.

Mine are slow because of large images. If I set "draft" mode, it speeds up dramatically. I don't know why latex needs to read the entire image file but it seems to do that.

I can see that cutting out the LIDAR could qualify as "cheap." And maybe he's being risky on betting on lowering the cost by simplifying the technology. But why make the jump to "fraud/charlatan"? Every system

I like how you suggest that other taxes will be lower to compensate. That hasn't been my experience in general. I'm sure it's happened occasionally but I don't think it's the rule.

I don't know, but those situations exist and they might be more problematic than baseball is willing to admit. The pitcher may get more from the Yankees than the Brewers. So the pitcher may have more incentive to make sure the Yankees

It taught me that some managers feel that they're absolutely 99% right when they feel like firing someone. Managers are so good and firing is so hard that managers only feel this way when it's 99% justified.

They hire foreigners largely because they're much cheaper than Americans. The schools have little trouble getting visas for foreign professors so, of course, they maximize their profits by hiring the cheapest they can get.

Unfortunately, the government sometimes bans disclosing this. The US government, for instance, bans the telcos from telling the customers that they're being tapped.
