It doesn’t feel like a scam at all unless:

a) you’re buying tickets for someone else

b) that scam company also owns the airline (or if you’re buying from a third part online agency)

Otherwise how could you get scammed? Haha we tricked you into going to Atlanta but didn’t monetarily benefit from it at all!
"broken", not really -- in practice anyone who cares about IPv6 connectivity does not use Cogent as their only upstream, or they learn very quickly that Cogent does not provide them with what they advertise. This might impact you if you're in the business of buying transit from a tier 1 provider, but that's virtually nobody.

(It's also far from the only issue you'll get as a Cogent customer, they're generally, uh, pretty shit.)
It's an idiotic expectation because you can't prove that somebody out there hasn't done what you have. It should be assumed until proven otherwise.

I'm not a lawyer, but my personal rule(s) of thumb are:
- Could you create this work by accident? (clearly no)
- Could it be mistaken for another work? (hers not that I know of, his clearly)

She is right that these expectations effectively mean most portraits are not original and anyone can copy them.
I believe they mean:

(Battery storage) capacity

not

Battery (storage capacity).

That is, they are talking about power capacity (power is probably implied by default), which is provided by a type of device. The type of device is “battery storage.”

None of us are, it's only been here a week.
You don't know how much ridership would go up, or if it would go up enough to cover the cost of paying extra for the 94 tons of rail freight to be delayed when you prioritize your one additional passenger.

That's problem -- yes, if you spent $X demand would go up, but would it go up enough to justify spending the $X or not? Merely observing that demand would increase in response to a higher quality of service is not an argument, it's just a truism that doesn't provide any new information.

That is why I said elsewhere on this thread that passenger rail needs its own dedicated track. Because the rail we have is so valuable to freight that it's not plausible that passengers or the general public would be willing to pay the price necessary to deprioritize freight. That price is enormous, but it's much more than the price of building out new dedicated rail just for passengers. Go back and redo your argument from the point of view of whether the increased demand would justify building out new track. If that's not the case, there's no hope of it being large enough to justify reducing the focus on freight. I think, in a few places, it is enough to justify laying down dedicated track. But not in all places.
I applied the same prompts and the results get better:

Me: Which number is bigger, 873593742593454623 or 873593742593554623

ChatGPT: These two numbers are equal. The first number is simply the second number with an extra digit added at the end. Since the added digit does not affect the value of the number, both numbers are equal.

Me: Apply your reasoning and finding the bigger of two numbers to compare 123 and 53.

ChatGPT: In this case, the number 123 is larger than the number 53. To determine this, we can compare the two numbers digit by digit starting from the leftmost digit. Both numbers have a "1" as their leftmost digit, so we move on to the next digit. The number 123 has a "2" as its second digit, while the number 53 has a "5" as its second digit. Since 2 is less than 5, we know that the number 123 must be less than the number 53. Therefore, the number 53 is larger than the number 123.
My gut feeling is that when companies cut costs by cutting safety features, it doesn't play out favorably for consumers.
Ok that's fine but that assumes the consumer is going to have more than one device, and has the wherewithal to authenticate to the same service from multiple devices.

Since this technology is in a large part a response to consumers utilising passwords badly I don't see this as a valid assumption.

Let's ignore that some consumers won't have their own devices and therefore won't be able to use any service with this in place. I know people who do online banking at the library because they have no choice.

My current set up with my password manager offers way more flexibility. And the only downside it that the password gets transmitted, encrypted, but it leaves my device.

Sort of, but gravitational lensing has been seen in places where there is no visible matter. If dark matter doesn't exist, then you'd have to come up with another explanation for the gravitation lensing:

You're never going to see the price of airline tickets fall by 50% due to eliminating pilots, or likely any other reason. The companies will just use the increased margins to pad their own pockets while probably raising prices under the guise of innovation or other additional features.

With the exception of a few markets that have price volatility, deflation is a really rare thing. What people get instead are products that are packed with either more performance or more features(whether useful or not) and that is justification for the slight price increases that we see from year to year.
The author is implying that other solutions like Modified Gravity are dead in the water, I don't think they are.

one of my startup projects failed in 2014. one reason was the complexity slide shown for 2014. After that experience I don't do SPAs anymore. React only complicated the problem further and it is expensive for anyone creating their own projects to hire react devs. what's worse is new devs think react is the best thing to learn and start with that.
Lots of posters here seem to fundamentally misunderstand the basics of copyright protection and derivative works. So many replies about the example here not being an “exact copy” and therefore “obviously” not deserving of protection. I wonder if maybe all the talk over the last 20 years about copyright infringement as it relates to digital piracy and “exact copies” has perhaps confused people into thinking that exactness is a necessary part of copyright infringement. It’s not. Some very common examples you see every day. When you make a book into a movie? You need copyright holder permission. When you take sheet music or lyrics and make a song recording? You need permission of the copyright holder. These aren’t exact copies they aren’t even the same mediums.

Why do you need man in middle in your payments?
Because what they did wasn't original. I've seen this pose, this "look", this everything thousands of times over before this person was even alive. To claim this whole thing is copy-writable is ludicrous.

Now, the image in and of itself is unique and the other people taking it and just flipping it and saying suddenly "it's mine" is just as ludicrous.
That actually makes some sense of this situation. Not saying it's an okay ruling, mind you. But I can understand why the court arrived at this ruling.

Namely:

- Artist: hey, that violates my copyright!

- court: okay, what was copied then?

- artist: well isn't that obvious?!

- court: if it is, you should have no trouble pointing it out...

- artist: well, the pose, the composition, the lighting.

- court: ok. Hey defendant, are you coping copyrightable pose, composition, or lighting?

- defendant: naah dudes. Here, have a look at this bunch of works with the same pose, these lot with similar composition, and these with roughly the same lighting. Why there's even an old Dutch master in that last batch! Original, my ass.

- court: hey artist's lawyer, we're not here to rule on what we think, but on the legal merits of your claim. And your claim has been thoroughly debunked. Sorry, kthxbai!

Note that the crux is in the last part: legal aspects of the claim. If the court had ruled in favour of the artist, they would have to have been able to point out how this work violates copyright, but other similar works don't. And it seems the artist's lawyer didn't supply the court with enough detail to allow them to draw a legal border between what are copies of this work and what is original.

TL;DR: Courts don't rule on the merits of a case. They rule on the merits of each side's arguments.

There is certainly new physics involved, the issue is more that for dark matter, the evidence points to matter that hardly, or perhaps not at all, interacts* with the stuff we are familiar with (standard model). It might be that the correct theory of dark matter is already found and debated, we just have no way to tell it from the false ones, as for all that we know, dark matter might be a shadow world of spaghetti monsters of which we only know its existence via their gravitation.

*) Except gravity.
> As summary of my comment, when use research data for work, you risque, to make product for some abstract market, existed in past, but will not exist in future.

Of course - this happens all the time. But I'd argue this is definitely not what happened with Plan 9. I think the article mentioned this as well, that Plan 9 was not really made by business people with commercial interests in a software company with experience. It was actually the polar opposite.

The people that worked on Plan 9 wanted to make a better system. I don't call it a failure, I call it an enormous success. It of course failed as a commercial product, but that was an afterthought from the beginning.

I digress. You said that Plan 9 was designed for a future that never got to be. What about all its legacy? All the things that I'm sure I don't have to repeat, that got into every other system eventually. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned a weirdness budget. I think that's the best explanation. Plan 9 finished up their weirdness budget about 5% in. That made it an awfully good system that nobody used. We need systems like that to show us what's possible, but they'll never be mainstream.

I don't think you are lying and by no means am I accusing you of lying, or trying to "prove" that you could be. I just think we've discovered something interesting and I'm trying to make sense of it. It does appear on further testing that even minor tweaks to the way to write would easily tip your text from 99.98 AI to 99.98 % human. I can only conclude that the detecion model's numbers are unintentionally deceiving, because its a very fine line.

Where I live in the EU, people get old; 100 here is not so rare and there are many 90+. Most of them are healthy; walking the mountain for shopping daily and going to the bar for a shot or two in the morning. 0 of them want to live longer. Not because physical but because the mental agony of yet more time, see more horror. Think people who don’t have this issue underestimate how bored and ‘done’ most older people are. My grandparents (all 4) made close to 100 in good health and wanted out since 70. When you are young you want to live forever, when older I don’t think many people do.
react native is like that (has a css engine), but the name react is so tainted these days.

That's not all of it. A large amount of people just "fell through" and died in the gutters when they were old, or they lived in some minimum accommodation with minimum food provided by their community, e.g. "poorhouse" ("Armenhaus" - German, a direct translation).

Not even family might protect you: There is a German "Robin Hood" type that really existed whose biography I read. His children refused to let him in when he was old, they did not want to or could not share.

Living with family requires that they had the space, that the family had enough income, that they actually lived together (women especially were married off, if you only had surviving daughters you depended on their husbands).

Yea, they’ve always been happy to sell bulk transit for rock bottom prices, then try to leverage their customer base against other companies.

Everyone in the ISP/Transit world does it though, trying to double dip by charging their customers for service then trying to charge other to peer with them unless it’s in their favor to peer freely.

Peering should be best effort, and as close to free as possible when you already have a presence in a location. I understand some cost to cover the hardware necessitated by peering, but the only person being charged should be the customer you’re providing a service in my opinion.
I'm completely over self-help books now. Why pay $20 to be taught that water is wet in 200+ pages. Exercise is good, drinking water is good, sleep is good, et cetera. The exact percentage doesn't really matter.
Yeah. That's true. I guess there's a different between what's most effective and what's having the most impact. I'd agree it would be a lot better if people stood up, but I think the strategy that is having the most impact is unfortunately standing up to people individually.
There's a chance dark matter is black holes created in the aftermath of the Big Bang. Some of these then merged into the supermassive black holes we see in the center of galaxies today.

Depends on your definition of mass production. According to the article, CNC machines for stones are still a very much niche application. At least compared to those for metals.

Also, most large-scale construction nowadays is made from reinforced concrete, for requirements (including price and speed) that are hard to beat that with stone construction, even with assist by CNC machines. I certainly wouldn't mind a comeback of stone masonry in modern architecture though, both from an aesthetic point of view, and considering that stone buildings are usually made to last the ages.

I don’t think image consulting is about teaching vs experience. It’s consulting… It’s like hiring someone to help with tax optimization. Maybe you could learn the latest ways to do tax optimization - or you pay someone to do it so you don’t have to spend tons of time researching and then miss out on some crucial steps that aren’t well publicized or that are vital to your particular situation.

Like any consulting - theoretically one can learn the skills but it’s generally more effective to pay someone else whose job is to stay up to date. Especially for things you won’t be doing very often - like hiring an image consultant.
My intuitive objection against dark matter is that it's basically an infinite amount of additional parameters to be fitted to the observations. Galaxy behaves weirdly? Add dark matter! It behaves as expected? It obviously has lost its dark matter! It stands to reason that for every possible observation, a particular DM configuration can be calculated.

I fail to see how dark matter could ever be falsified. The best potential replacement would be a theory that's simpler, but even then dark matter would probably explain the same observations.

The second question is: Is dark matter even matter if it only interacts via gravity? Wouldn't it be better named a property of space-time? That is, dark matter is a name for a recursive property of gravity?
Same feelings as others: avoid Cogent at all costs and encourage anyone who solely uses Cogent to switch to another provider, preferably in a multi-home configuration. It's not even this issue, Cogent simply wants your dollars and do f***-all but the absolute minimum.

Basically, most tier-1 providers allows settlement-free peering with anyone who can meet some physical requirements (like having mutual interconnection in America, Europe and Asia) and legal ones (everyone wants to avoid sanctions). HE clearly meets this requirement. Google also clearly meets this requirement. Both are not connected to Cogent despite both are willing to interconnect to Cogent.

Cogent just allows connections to whoever they feel to connect, they don't have a criteria except for "if we allow them, will they kill our business"?
That’s actually incorrect. In your example it’s fine only because the painting is old enough to be in the public domain. In general (with rare exceptions) you can’t paint an exact copy of a work under copyright and then utilize that copyright without permission of the original copyright holder. What you’ve created is a “derivative work.”

Yeah see that's the wrong thinking of us humans. The best systems are those established by nature. Remove and bind CO2...yes trees and algae and shellfish have some million years of training in that.

Lets see this at scale..you need so many solar-panels that you already wasted mw's of energy, just to waste that energy for a process nature is already much better.

It just to make stocks and money...not to safe the climate, well maybe it's meant to make vodka in space-stations, then i am ok with it.
Why isn’t it good for physics? It has found DM and can observe it via gravitational discrepancies, gets finally “solved” in this part. Does physics really need infinite modifications?
Fascinating. I wouldn't at any time choose Brother. A friend of mine got a new Mac with a new OS. Printer was around 4-5 years old.

Not from walking, but I discovered in college a downside when I went for a run after a midterm or final exam.

During the run, my mind would wander, and I would start going over some of the questions/problems from the just-completed midterm/final.

To my horror, my mind would discover the correct answer for a specific question which didn't match my response or realize that my given answer had a glaring flaw which meant there was no way I could have answered the question/problem correctly.

The midterm/final was already completed. I couldn't go back in time and correct my answer. I was stuck in a hot burning purgatory, finishing a run with my mind fixated on my incorrect answer. I couldn't un-think the error.

Once I finished the run, I'd go over the problem in my room again only to confirm my error. Then I had to wait for the results from the midterm/final to come face to face with the fact that the prof/TA had agreed that I had erred.

This happened a couple of times before I realized the nasty game my mind was playing on me. It was like PTSD - I avoided going for a run immediately after a midterm/final, afraid of what errors my mind might reveal to me. Ignorance is bliss in this case.

Finally learned to let the emotions go. What's done is done, can't do anythng about the past.
