Making illegal donations is not the same thing at all as donating equally to both sides. The indictment does not say he donated equally to both side like you are trying to imply in your post.

> has repeatedly demonstrated that her work is of human origin and not the simple result of a one-click img2text program

The demarcation isn't being a "'one-click' img2text program", so just stating this doesn't get anyone anywhere. It's just facial and self-serving and contains no argument.

>The creator invested a lot of time not only in generating images, but also in blending them using Photoshop and making substantial edits to ensure that the characters appear correctly while fixing errors typical of the AI. Things like manually correcting blurred faces and hands in Photoshop using her digital art skillset.

The office found that her edits were not sufficient to warrant a copyright. Doing things like retouching doesn't give the retoucher a copyright in what is the photographer's work. Fixing up faces, etc, things like that. To that point, I do not think her edits were what the office would call "substantial" and I agree.

>She personally wrote the text and performed the task of a letterer by placing the bubbles. She also took care of the assembly of the book, including designing the layout and making sure everything was printed correctly.

She has a copyright in the text and the layout and arrangement. They said as much.

>Personally, I can't help but thing this is at least partially the result of the "$187,500 for one year of full-time lobbyist in D.C" against AI art GoFundMe[1] and I can't help but find it particular that people can so easily and transparently put money together to push a certain agenda.

LOL are you for real? What's your evidence besides the fact that a lobbyist was hired? This is just ex post facto rationalization. The copyright has held this position about non-human art since its existence. This case is no different than the monkey selfie case. Like, point to what the lobbyist changed or something at least...

This comment is completely out of touch in true HN fashion. The author believes having kids has turned into “an entitlement” and looks down upon this.

More than ever two working parents is a necessity for many families. To place blame solely on the parents for these circumstances ignores the larger picture of where we want to be as a society. Of course choosing to have children has consequences, but parents in the US should be able to have a reasonable expectation for affordable childcare, especially in a society and economy that demands multiple working parents.

But of course instead we could just blame the parents for creating the current scenario of unaffordable childcare.

One of my conspiracy theories is that the saying "two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead" is itself a psyop to make the masses believe that widespread conspiracies involving hundreds or thousands of people aren't practical to pull off.

Large groups of people absolutely can actively or passively conspire and all remain quiet about it if their incentives strongly align. And if one of them breaks rank, then we can just pay off the news media to ignore them or paint them as a quack.

Ask HN: Free Email Hosting for Nonprofits?
Hack Club is a nonprofit network of hackathons, student-led coding clubs, and open source projects. Our website is https://hackclub.com and our GitHub is https://github.com/hackclub.

We have been receiving free email hosting from Google Workspace and providing it to the Hack Club network, but we recently hit the domain limit (600 domains) on Google Workspace for Nonprofits. Each domain is typically a hackathon or a chapter at a high school.

Does anyone have any recommendations for email hosts that we could look into? As a mostly volunteer-driven nonprofit, we can't afford pay per-user pricing as there are thousands and thousands of accounts.
I’m looking for a new pan and leaning towards stainless. I cook a lot of eggs. Friends of mine who also cook a lot of eggs use them with no problem.

From what they say and what I’ve read, including in this thread, the “bit more effort” needed is simply to make sure that the pan is at the right temperature before adding oil/butter and eggs. This is testable using Leidenfrost effect on a water droplet. The eggs should also be taken out from the fridge 10 minutes before cooking.

If that’s all there is to it, I’m sold.

I agree with everything you said in theory. In practice, I don't really know that I agree with the grandkids/grandparents point.

The implication here is that if housing were abundant and more affordable in the bay area, then both grandparents and grandkids can live in the same city and visit each other often, rather than one side living far away in some suburbs. (In some cases, it's the grandparents living in suburbs and parents/kids living in the city for jobs; in other cases, it's grandparents living in the city because they've lived there forever and don't want to move, while parents/kids move to a suburb further away for better life/more space).

The thing is, growth of a city/a region brings along many other issues (in addition to lack of housing driving prices up), including safety, traffic, crowds, decrease in quality of life. Just because housing is affordable doesn't mean that both grandparents and grandkids would still want to live in the city.

Instead of building out even more housing in an already dense area (because jobs are concentrated in that area), I would've liked it if we have a far more diverse set of growing cities across the country where the job markets thrive in all of them, rather than deeply concentrated in a couple of places (SF Bay, NY, etc.).

[Edit] To clarify, I am in the group where the grandparents want to live in SFBA because they've been there forever and don't want to move away. I'm saying, the job market made SFBA grow too much, and building more housing in SFBA to make them cheaper won't necessarily make me want to keep living there because there are other problems that come with more people. Hence, if job markets weren't so deeply concentrated in one area, the country could see more evenly distributed growth across many cities/metropolitan areas, and SFBA/NY wouldn't be so lopsided and ridiculously unaffordable.

I had a similar experience when I changed my ISP. When I contacted Ebay they told me the only way to unsuspend my account was to click on the link they texted to me. I told them I don't own a cellphone and haven't for several years, so who did they text. I went through 6 different tech support people, and every single one told me to click on the link they texted, even though I started the conversation saying I don't own a cellphone.

You might think the stupidity stops there, but after all this frustration, I told them to delete my entire account, all my purchase history and reviews. They told me to do so they'd have to send me a text with a verification link! After 12 different techs couldn't figure out how to do so without a text verification, I finally threw in the towel.

Ironically, after a year I decided to try and log in again. Like magic, it just worked. What a shitshow...
Workers should have a say in their working environment. Unions are the best way to ensure that. A nanny can’t exactly employ collective bargaining so unionization won’t work there, but most people aren’t working alone so that’s an exception.

Why should we allow self appointed "biomedical ethicists" to dictate what interventions we can use?

If someone says they should have the right to refuse a intervention, even if those "ethicists" otherwise approve of it, those ethicists give a smug nod of approval.

But if someone says they should have the right to use an intervention that those self appointed "ethicists" don't approve of, they will stamp their feet like toddlers and use every force of the state available to try and stop you.

Worst case scenario, I mean, maybe? I don't have many data points. It does feel like cloud costs come up more often lately. I don't think there was anything particularly special about that company though.

Stainless steel just really isn't the same thing or used for the same purpose. It is an important type to have available but I wouldn't cook eggs in them for example. Better to use a carbon steel or cast iron so I can just cook in it and not worry about stickage.
Why would you list something before finishing setting up your bank account info?

Even worse, why would you ship something before that?

And why would you start on eBay with an item of several thousand dollars which is waaay higher than 99% of items? I'm surprised anyone would even consider buying something at that price when you had zero positive feedback or any reputation at all.

None of this makes any sense to me.
Their job is upholding the law, and access to the courts is one of the highest and most important constitutional rights to ensure trust in the system. One of the HIGHEST laws/rules of their job is ENSURING citizens have access to the courts so they are not doing their job if they are in anyway discouraging such access, especially when their justification is 'inconvenience'. The lawmakers are the ones that create the mechanisms for access to the courts, it is THEIR job to ensure the laws/system are workable when people choose to ACCESS THEIR RIGHTS. That is NOT the police's job, again, that is the law makers job. Qualified immunity is unconstitutional and protections/ensuring the system works is required to be done by lawmakers under the constitution, not illegally giving DELEGATED AUTHORITY from the judicial branch to the executive.

PFAS is a huge family of long lasting fluorinated chemicals. The ones that are bio-absorbed typically are liquid at normal temperatures. Gasoline and plastic are both hydrocarbons, but gasoline is toxic and long chain polyethylene is not. So we are sort of in this state where some Hacker News savior is shouting “hydrocarbons dangerous!!!”, when the story is more like liquid PFAS is a problem, but Teflon is safe like polyethylene is safe. Don’t drink hexane, but the 200-ane found in polyethylene won’t be absorbed even when you eat it.

Bottom line is that all the liquid PFAS has been pulled from the market. The last thing I have seen was some ski racing wax had these liquid PFAS compounds, and they got fined pretty heavily.

Except storing data on chain is insanely expensive (impossible) which is where bolt on adjacent technologies like IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave, etc come in.

Have you looked at IPFS pinning hosting costs? It's usually a multiple (between storage and bandwidth) of what you'd pay on S3 or similar. Even running your own node comes with so many operational challenges and consumes an INSANE amount of bandwidth and resources self-hosting for anything beyond a toy personal project gets prohibitive very quickly. The same cheap VPS that can do at least 1k TPS for static files with Nginx (or whatever) probably can't even launch go-ipfs (kubo).

So now not only are you (or your users) paying for every database transaction (on chain) your fundamental cost basis is a multiple of what it is today.
Makes sense, but doesn't that mean in a way you are afraid of what happens after you die? Or would you call this motivation something different than something similar to fear/worry/anxiety/etc?

> How do so many organisations arrive at a system in which it's almost a badge of honour to not be one of the doers?

I believe this is a holdover from Western society's feudal roots*: the people who do things, especially who do things with their hands, are considered to be lesser beings than those who, by divine right, rule over them.

The ideas and values of feudalism are deeply embedded in our culture, and it's very hard to escape, for instance, the idea of the Good King, ruling benevolently because he is divinely granted better discernment to know what is good and right. (And also the Iron-Fisted Tyrant, which is a seductive fantasy to a different type of person.)

Some of these ideas come to us through the medium of things like just world theory and other Protestant notions, but at their core, they're still basically the same thing: the idea that the people who rule do so because they are Better People, and the people they rule (the ones who have to work for them) are in the position they're in because they are Lesser People.

Thus, rising to management becomes a proof that you, too, were a Better Person all along.

* Not saying other societies don't have feudal roots, just that I'm familiar with Western society

Because what you get there is only a copyright in the sound recording, not the underlying musical work. So you can only control uses of your audio recording, you can't stop people from using the same work which is as you noted, in the public domain.

By your own logic, the only copyright the edits would entitle one to would be what the edits consisted of and none of the underlying work. This is obviously meaningless in the context of images.

Yeah, it's a shame because multiplayer was an afterthought for the current major engines that you listed. Off the shelf multiplayer can work really well if the engine was designed for multiplayer. The Source engine always comes to mind as an engine that has proved itself with many high quality multiplayer titles. I wish Valve made licensing Source easier/cheaper.
That's more of an annoyance than a safety issue though. This is definitely one of those YAGNI things where it's not worth worrying about until it becomes a recurring issue, which is highly unlikely.
In this ever expanding universe in which we live in, it seems there is stuff at the distance edge of our light cone, red-shifting past our causality horizon as it slips away from us at greater than the speed of light.
