Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register
  • He seems to be confusing "freeware", which is basically a license for copyrighted work, with "public domain", which is the absence of a copyright.

  • Do you like America? Why or why not?
  • I wouldn't willingly live anyplace else.

  • Did hackers steal 33TB of data from the Federal Reserve?
  • the hack contains “33 terabytes of juicy banking information containing Americans’ banking secrets.”

    Smells like BS. The Federal Reserve doesn't maintain bank records for individual Americans.

  • In USA, do unemployment benefits last 6 weeks? Or 6 months?
  • Someone who is fired for good cause generally doesn't qualify. If they're fired without being at fault, or if they quit for a good reason, then that's different.

  • In USA, do unemployment benefits last 6 weeks? Or 6 months?
  • Again, it varies, but it's usually based on your earnings in the most recent quarter, and is usually funded by your most recent employer.

  • In USA, do unemployment benefits last 6 weeks? Or 6 months?
  • It's a state-run program, so it varies. Most states provide up to 26 weeks (6 months). No state provides fewer than 14 weeks.

  • Up is an illusion in space
  • This is why I appreciate the scene in Undiscovered Country where Kronos One glides into view, seeming to align itself to the Enterprise's orientation.

  • Logan Square landlord evicts tenant for flying Palestine flag
  • I'm a professional in the industry.

  • Logan Square landlord evicts tenant for flying Palestine flag
  • It's probably not an eviction notice, but a "comply or vacate" notice. Journalists often confuse "eviction notice", which is a court order, with the sort of formal written demand notices that tenants are entitled to receive.

  • American Employee: What Constitutes A Resignation
  • It will vary by state, but generally:

    When only one of the two parties is unwilling to continue the employer-employee relationship, it is obvious who is the moving party. If employment was still available to the claimant and the claimant refused to continue working, then the claimant is the moving party. If the employer will not allow the claimant to continue work, even though the claimant wants to, then the employer is the moving party.

  • Elon Musk condemns the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in general elections in some countries.
  • A system being slow and inefficient makes defrauding that system similarly slow and inefficient. To affect an election run on paper ballots you have to somehow physically alter or insert thousands or millions of pieces of paper without being detected. This will mean spending large amounts of time and money and must necessarily involve numerous people.

  • Elon Musk condemns the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in general elections in some countries.
  • Manual in person voting is not easily scammed on a scale that can swing an election. The slow, inefficient, in person, physical process is a security feature.

  • Elon Musk condemns the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in general elections in some countries.
  • I would say that "electronic voting" means that the ballot itself is digital rather than physical. So, scantrons are not electronic voting and voter registries/ID/etc. are not ballots in the first place.

  • Driving past a church and their sign hatched a plan.
  • All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

  • It finally happened
  • Plan 9 from the Human Race

  • And people who don't read make fun of you for it.
  • Mine was "banal".

    Sounds like "canal".

  • Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?
  • Flowering and fruiting plants generally need bees, birds, etc. for pollination and seed spreading.

  • TIL Joe Satriani's "Crowd Chant" was meant to be called "Party on the Enterprise"

    It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.
