just wondering why start freaking out about it now.
So because it's happened before, it's not worth reporting on when it happens again? I've never understood these comments. Yeah other companies have done it too. That does not make this story not newsworthy.
Even if there is a tax benefit, that doesn't make it all better. Who benefits from tax cuts? People who pay taxes. Who doesn't pay much tax? The poor, so they don't benefit. On the other hand, who is hurt most by an electricity rate hike? The poor. And who can most easily absorb it? The wealthy. So increasing electricity rates in exchange for a tax cut is in effect shifting costs from the wealthy to the poor. As usual.
No, section 230 of the Communications Decency Act grants immunity from liability for the speech of users, even if the owner of the service moderates/censors content on that service.
risk changing their legal status from an open platform to a curated one and hence liable for their content
They're protected from liability for the speech of their users by the Communications Decency Act. The CDA explicitly states that moderating their platforms does not remove that protection.
That works well unless it's fairly easy to tamper with the cameras without leaving a trail. I'm guessing it's easy. It's a lot harder to commit all those other crimes without leaving any evidence, and anyway there are security measures to prevent many of them besides. Laws and security are not mutually exclusive.
I enjoy that too. Friends took place during the original cell phone boom. At the beginning of the series nobody had cell phones and they just started showing up throughout until everybody had them by the end.
in 24, Jack Bauer had a flip phone (with an annoying ring tone). Did he get a smartphone by the end? I didn't watch the whole series.
In Stargate: SG-1 they got FTL drives by the end of the series. OK that's a little different.
Oh, the speed! Honestly nicer lenses and better sensor and all that is below my top two reasons for having a DSLR, which are an indirect flash and the speed (meaning shutter lag and burst, not f stops).
It depends on high energy density fuel, but it doesn't have to come from fossil sources. There is currently no commercially viable source of renewable fuel for jet travel but that could change eventually.
It's much simpler to just block calls not from my contacts. Not everyone can do that, but will there be enough people who have to leave their phone line open to create a market for these AIs?
Money spent on support is easy to see. Customers who will never buy your products again because of crappy support is invisible. So as you say you have to have a brain to figure out that good support is worthwhile.
I get it, but who gets to decide who is honestly mistaken, and who is lying and trolling? Would you trust Musk to make that distinction? Even if he is right this time, I sure wouldn't.
No, a teacher cannot use a copyrighted movie just because it's for educational purposes.
Why do you say that?
That rule would make it awful hard to make educational materials.
Not at all, because almost no commercial movies have a legitimate educational use.
I'm now wondering about my kid's school showing the students a movie on the last day of school for no educational purpose whatsoever. I wonder if anyone considered copyright issues.
Almost 99.99% of all copyright decisions have been made by the 9th circuit.
That is an interesting claim and seems very unlikely. Why have virtually no copyright cases come up in other circuits? Surely there are people pursuing copyright infringement outside of the western states. Do they not appeal their cases to the circuit court level?
You're conflating transformation with extent of the work used. Transformative use doesn't mean changing the copyrighted work, it means using it in a different way. And it has nothing to do with how much of the work is used.
I know nothing of the festival, but just because it isn't free to attend doesn't mean it's a for profit venture. Ticket prices could be to cover expenses.
I tried fiddling with settings but there was no option to view at 60Hz on my TV and the others didn't seem to help much. It's great for video games which is fortunately what I mostly use it for. I don't know, maybe I'll get used to it eventually.

Hillary also did not have an agenda, all she did was attack Trump.
Maybe she didn't publicize it well enough, but she definitely had an agenda. https://www.hillaryclinton.com...
Trump on the other hand HAD an AGENDA "Make America Great Again"
That's a slogan, not an agenda.
The only people who voted for her were airheads who thought having a vagina was a requirement for the white house.
Now you're just being stupid.
The Economy woke up and got in gear the day after the election
Citation needed.
Is that actually how the cameras are treated, or just how we wish they were?

"...mint condition..."
"... the manual is missing and the DVD is scratched and unreadable..."
Uhhh, that's not mint condition.

Since the 70D came out, it's not clear full frame is even needed for low light. I assume Nikon has made similar advances.

Yeah it's not clear from the summary what's new about this other than omg it's Google doing it. Maybe it will be better, but that remains to be seen.

I think what he's saying is that a bot can handle those routine sort of things, leaving the complex or unusual scenarios for humans.

What insider trading? Surely he didn't have any inside information about Tesla did he? Are you referring to some other investments?
Usage is key. It's cheap if you don't use much data, but you pay for every megabyte used. Heavy data users are probably better off somewhere else.

But some years back -- pretty recently -- there was a change in the law, and copyrights became "automatic" or "presumed".
In the US, that happened in 1976.
Now, to be clear: in the old system you still automatically HAD a copyright on any original work you created.
No, before automatic copyright you didn't automatically have a copyright.
