Any group that "lobbies on behalf of $group" will whore their services to the highest bidder. It just happens that the Equipment Dealers Association offered them a sweeter deal than the farmers that they ostensibly represent. Not that they will return the farmers' money or anything like that.
You just explained what we obviously knew for at the very least 120 years, since it's basically the reason behind the Berne Convention.
The big pushers for copyright, copyright extensions, and copyright "reform" (read: more limitations) were always the publishers, not the authors. Copyright in it's current incarnation benefits mostly the middlemen.
Everyone I know has moved to wire.app. Encrypted text, voice & video. Not tied to a phone number. Works on win, mac, linux, android, ios. Free. Open source.
then sell off taxpayer-owned assets to pretty up the books, they'll blame everybody but themselves. It happened before with a cretinous monster named Mike Harris.
And very recently with a Liberal premier named Kathleen Wynne.
Feed the AI garbage data and it won't know the difference. It won't feel puzzled or shameful or anything. Humans can at least second guess the "truth" that is given to them. An AI is happy to drive into a wall without giving it any thought, because that was the "most logical conclusion"
Feed a newborn human garbage data and it won't know the difference either.
Oh, you meant an adult human? One that had their neural network constantly trained with real-world data for a couple of decades? Well then, shouldn't an AI compete on a level playing field?
There is no "AI" on this planet and this thing is just a collection of dumb reflexes that give the appearance of an intelligent agent.
And so are you.
Of course, you can argue otherwise, but then the AI can make such an argument as well, and will likely do a better job at it (according to the article).
So how should I determine which stream of electronic communication was generated by "an intelligent agent" and which one by "a collection of dumb reflexes"?
The most logical conclusion is that there's not much of a difference.
I don't understand how they're going to evaluate students.
Somehow we manage to do it in Canada.
Badly.
A friend's daughter was doing badly in math (averaging in the 60s). They sent her to a private summer school where she got 97 in the subject, which goes on her transcript. I can guarantee that her actual knowledge and understanding of math did not improve that drastically.
The fact that high school grades (usually the average of 6 best subjects) are the most important (and often the sole) prerequisite for university acceptance encourages students to take easy but useless courses rather than more interesting and challenging ones.
The fact that teachers often grade on a curve, especially in "soft" subjects (like English, which is always included in the calculation) disadvantages strong students that go to strong schools. Similarly, some teachers in tend to write more difficult tests than others.
I know of parents that try to game the system by transferring their children to weak schools in their senior year to boost their grades.
ICQ requires registering my phone number with them, which is a no-go for me. And yes, I did try several of the published SMS receiving workarounds, none of which worked.
I used to listen to music radio stations when cycling or rollerblading on my old phone but my current one does not have FM receiver. What would be a good app and a good music streaming service that will allow me to pick a "channel" with a type of music I'm in a mood for and listen to it? Elements to consider are subscription price (preferably none), ads (ditto), selection size, variety and ease of hands-free operation.
A country is obligated to let her citizens in even if their travel papers have expired (or lost) as long as they can prove their citizenship status.
I once flew to visit my parents abroad and did not notice that my passport (of the destination country) had expired. They told me straight away that if I didn't take care of it during my stay, I would not be able to fly out back home.

If you wouldn't say it to their face then don't say it online. What's wrong with people?
This is what's wrong with people.

If I buy something, you deliver or my lawyer has a field day. Either's fine with me.
Win or lose, the lawyers always have a field day.
That's how the system is set up.

Dos it have a Pidgin plug-in?
The difference between Europeans and Americans is that Europeans think 200 miles is a long way and Americans think 200 years is a long time.
Actually, most Europeans think that 200 miles is (roughly) 322 kilometers.
Assault is illegal. and often sends the wrong message.
Ostracizing is much more effective.
There are no national elections or referendums on direct issues and legislation?
In a Democracy there would be. In a Republic, that stuff is left to the representation of the people.
In most of the world's representative democracies there are no (or very few) referendums.
This needs higher visibility, but I'm all out of mod points.
The Trump Administration is Talking To Foxes and Wolves About Potential Rules For Hen-house Safety.
No conflicts of interest here. No sir! None whatsoever.
What are the *practical* differences between your republic and any other constitutional representative democracy?

The Pidgin plug-in is based on Skype Web.
You are welcome to post your concern on the Pidgin users mailing list. Eion Robb is active on it.

I think you're confusing him with Philip Kindred.

So yes, we "somehow manage", but not very well.

Once again, msmash, you're doing it wrong. The person saying the thing goes before the colon, and what they're saying goes after.
Except when what they're saying comes out of it.

Thanks.
We have people in power who are not bound by the will of the people, they can vote their conscience
People that have a conscience do not rise to positions of power.
If it's objectionable when the Russians do it, it should be equally objectionable when Google does it.

This is exactly what I want to avoid.
I want my phone addressbook separate from my CardDAV for multiple reasons.
