Or at the least, a violation of the Logan Act.

Does he really think $500M would significantly change a city? As if the city would get any part of it, or that Dubai is something to desire…

But then I’m going to get even more blood on me?

If the prompt is as long and unique as other copyrightable writing (which includes short works like poems) then why shouldn’t it be copyrightable?

Okay, so the prompt can be that. But we’re talking about the output, no? My hello-world source code is copyrighted, but the output “hello world” on your machine isn’t really, no?

Should, but laws outlawing toplessness are almost always upheld by the courts, unfortunately.

“Protecting the public sensibilities from the public display of areas of the body traditionally viewed as erogenous zones — including female, but not male, breasts — is an important government objective.”

We’d see some real trickle-down in that case.

And why do you think it’s like that?

I thought that’s where that guy from Pokémon came from?

Nah, but they’re both forms of intellectual property.

In this case, it seems like they decided Zynga was infringing on patent US7072849B1. They managed to convince the court that Zynga’s advertising methods were too similar to what was described in that patent. Which is bullshit, as software patents shouldn’t exist, but oh well.

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your “security questions” or such. It’s a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

Not sure where they’re from, and the laws are tricky (plus there’s lots of loopholes - if the TV station is technically broadcast from another country, it doesn’t need to follow our laws?), but it seems to be similar in Sweden. And yeah, it’s usually found in normal stores as well as the alcohol monopoly… but I’ve never seen anyone buy it, nor is it even significantly cheaper.

For example: 33cl Mariestads Alkoholfri: 12.90 kr. 33cl Mariestads 5,3%: 15.70 kr.

Maybe some people drink beer for the taste, especially hipster beers, but I think otherwise the commercials don’t help. I’ve also noticed they’re especially common a small bit before the alcohol monopoly closes – of course it’s their intention that someone sees the “non-alcoholic” commercial at 6PM and will run to the monopoly before 7PM when it closes.

Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!

What have you done with the Vulkanpizza???

The booths will be equipped with lock sensors which detect smoke. When smoke in such booths disappears, the doors will be automatically unlocked and defiant smokers can then leave the booths, he wrote.

Why not? If it’s too hard to leave the hospital to smoke, then what’s the problem with having a smokeroom?

There’s nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it’s illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Do other media companies create fake streams?

Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

The whole “AI” thing is irrelevant; it’d be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

I’m not a rail expert, but I thought for some reason that rails without electricity would be too old/unmaintained to be allowed to serve passenger traffic, lol.

40 minutes? I would have imagined that everyone would hop off at the station, they’d then drive out to a parking junction, and then drive back the electric train to the station for people to load in again. Isn’t it also very expensive to take the train (you’re from the US I assume)? Not weird that no one wants to take it when it’s in such bad situations :/

If you’re already laying tracks, why not lay electricity as well?

Dogs don’t care that much about covering their poop, they just do it as a way to mark their territory and such.

that the drain line that the hose is dumping into is partially clogged

That’d be my thought, or even that the hose isn’t tightly pushed into the drain.
