Correct. It’s great for dried piss though. Gotta mop it up first, then bleach it down. Don’t be stupid, kids.

That roommate didn’t last long.

Nope. Bleach. Gotta use bleach.

This exactly. It represented such a huge intelligence failure that it’s very hard to believe that it wasn’t allowed to happen to create an argument for war, that and it kinda rhymes with another (arguably preventable) event in history that was used to create a pretext for war… Pearl harbor. IMHO that was justified though, Nazis being pretty bad and all.

Also tower 7 seemed very sketchy, and I never believed that there was a whole plane’s worth of rubble at the Pentagon.

The Patriot act was also a product of that, which if you’ll recall is part of what Snowden uncovered.

In all seriousness, you’d have to clean it very frequently to keep the smell under control. Don’t ask how I know.

Archival grade m-discs, apparently. I had the same question. https://www.howtogeek.com/858426/whats-the-best-way-to-store-data-for-decades-or-centuries/

Yes. In a dream, I fell in love with someone I know in real life now. It was psychologically disruptive. In the dream, we’d loved each other for thousands of years. The emotions did not end upon waking and persist to today to some extent.

I bought mine in the winter. Boy was I surprised. “Cheese grater chair”, as my coworker calls em, is not a misnomer. Still though, is buy it again

Wait for a sale and you’ll do pretty good

What the heck, me too! What color did you get? Does the texture bother your legs when wearing shorts?

First suggestion… Women are the same as a JPEG and the kids have been there are they talking to me?

Second suggestion… Women are you going to be able to get a new job at the end of the day?

Third suggestion… Women are so that we have the answers though and they have the best of us that are not the only ones I know of.

Hallucinations galore. Android Auto complete is… Not smart.

What makes you able to do this?

A collage would be fair use, yes I believe that’s already been established but again I’m not like a copyright lawyer or anything like that. I’ll leave that for others to research and prove in the courtroom.

I would say that your first example, as it file is not really accurate but the collage may be more so. It’s a statistical model that calculates statistically what a thing should be. Is it learning? Maybe maybe not.

Thank you very much for summoning Jeff Goldblum’s voice into my head.

I think that the argument is that it’s not actually copying it and instead learning from it.

I feel like they really have to pay something. Maybe their argument is right and they shouldn’t pay full price given that if a human did the same thing to learn to make music, they also wouldn’t be billed in that way, given it’s openly available.

Maybe they are required to give a portion of profits back to the source materials creators?

The purpose of the copyright system is that someone should not be allowed to take your material and sell it to someone else passing it off as your own and make the profit thereby stealing the profit from you. I don’t think that’s what’s happening here but also at the same time it doesn’t seem like what they’re doing is right because they’re making profit off of somebody else’s work without paying anything.

It feels to me like the answer should be somewhere in the middle.

I certainly don’t have the answers though.

For them I don’t think it matters. I think the whole goal is to have further awareness and having people burning time on it like we’re doing right now brings more awareness to the issue regardless what side you’re on. They believe their side is just so that it will win out in general and bringing further awareness and making people think about it can only be a good thing.

Tl;Dr: awareness.

I believe the end goal is to cause conversations like the above.

No. Vote for Biden.

I’m too chicken.

I’m in. This world desperately needs an information workers union. Someone to cover those poor fuckers in the help desk and desktop support as well as the engineers and architects that keep all of this shit running.

Those of us that aren’t underpaid are treated poorly. Today is what it looks like if everybody strikes at once.
