Or if you buy a legit version, some of the money will actually go to the people responsible for producing the work. This will allow them to eat and produce more art. Sending money to the pirates, though, will only produce more piracy.

Why shouldn't the artists get a cut of the greater-than-MSRP resale? Yeah, I realize that some pretend that the MSRP is the real price, but if anyone should get a cut of the jacked up fees, it should the people on the stage or producin

This is great work. Has anyone used it enough to compare the lambda costs with the cost of running a comparable model on, say, OpenAI?

1) First, most researchers at universities or other institutions have always had unfettered access thanks to a site license. It would be pretty hard to find a real example of a university researcher who couldn't see something. 2) There

Can someone explain just how and why being unionized could lead to better severance? I could see how the union's loyalties would be torn between protecting the members who will continue to be employed and those who won't really be

This. There are a few people who might write a book and give it away for free, but if you want professional artists you need to ensure that they can make money by selling copies. In other words, someone like the Internet Archive won't

It's true. And for other kinds of more common uses like watching for flaws. Imagine a system like this watching for small flaws in something with a repeated texture. The algorithm will assume the flaw is a mistake make by the camera be

This is a pretty clever idea and the video does a good job of explaining how it will work. I'm looking forward to these becoming pretty standard on all ebikes.

The cost of getting fossil fuels into the battle theater is very steep. This can make nuclear power look cheap in comparison.

Loan? I certainly hope no one is taking out a loan to do this. Well, I guess if the resell is pretty certain, then a loan is a smart business move. But really no one should be going into debt for an item like this.

It's pretty expensive to haul rocks out of the ground and separate the various elements from it. I find it hard to believe that it's more expensive to refine a pile of used hard drive platters and it is to extract the same thing f

Please. I've read Dan Brown's novels and I know that those are just phony and for confuse the proles. But just how the Priory of Sion is involved is still not clear to me.

I'm not as cynical. I think quests like this are important to understanding what's important and not-so-important in protocols. Quests like post-quantum algorithms are important for me not because I believe in the chance of any qu

Even if it's 20 minutes -- which it often isn't -- that's $300/hour. If that's not enough to cover costs, well, maybe the costs are out of line.

Well, if you make satellites like the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, this is a good reason to make another, more sophisticated version. But you're right that cheaper, more local telemetry may be more than adequate. Heck, you can probably

So in the scientists' case it's a "career", but in Elsevier's case it's money and greed? Are those scientists being paid? If so, I would submit that it's just as much about money and greed for them too. BT

Believe me, the publisher still hasn't to reconcile the work and tweak it when it comes in. Have you ever tried to edit a book from N authors? Even if they're using the exact same style file, there are always issues. But again, go

Elsevier pays many authors. They may not pay the authors of some of the journal articles, but they also publish many books which generate royalties that are shared with the authors. But why does pay have anything to do with this? Why does i

Uh-- no one is forcing you to send anything to Elsevier. Or any other publisher. If you don't like the terms, self-publish. The Internet makes it easier than ever. The reason so many people use Elsevier is because they realize it'

Huh? Imagine working this hard to write a book. Some authors work for years. Many work for at least a year. Some academics work several years on one article. Elsevier is very much a partner to producing and funding this work. The people wh

On some special days, the crossword puzzles even generate a clever, witty animation that goes along with the hidden theme. In other words, an easter egg. They're different enough so I could see that they create a separate repository fo

My problem with the notion that humans caused the extinction of large mammals is that humans supposedly originated in Africa and large mammals weren't extinct there. So how did that happen?

Keyword search is a big win for eReaders. (This is a bit ironic in a discussion of _Pale Fire_ where the trad index is a big part of the game.) When you mix in the weight and the other issues with paper, it's not just inconvenient. I&#

Some readers say that paper sucks too. The right scheme is to get two copies that advance together. So they could be either Kindle or paper or a mixture.
