So, if I scraped thousands of WEB sites, it is legal ? I remember a person being charged with doing that to just a very few WEB Sites was charged. The poor person ended up committing suicide.
If I record every song played on the radio for years to a digital file, will I be charged ? You know I would be.
How are these different than what AI is doing. In the US, companies are considered a person, so to me, off to jail these companies go. Why is this turning into a big deal. We know AI is stealing copyrighted data. So I hope they get what they deserve.
Well, that sucks; I thought the Journal's "share" feature would work here. Thanks for finding the syndicated version! Unfortunately I can't update the URL, but perhaps a mod will make the change.
I ran a bridge until recently, but the server died a heat death after I moved to another apartment :(
I have not yet had time to find a suitable replacement machine. But running a bridge is a cheap, safe low network volume method people can help out from home. I had it going to help people in 'bad' countries to get out to the rest of the world.
Were you running specifically a bridge or just a non exit relay? Bridges are generally unlisted and are somewhat expensive to mass scrape (the bridge distributors will require captcha or email or Telegram etc) so they are less likely to show up in those lists. Whereas all relays are listed in the consensus and can be trivially enumerated.
But this is a rather big surprise to me. With the price of gold, I doubt only the very rich can afford these. Aren't those the people who Trump is trying to enrich. Or maybe the rich do not buy gold, or has another source.
Perhaps instead we should create aqua regia and dissolve copious amounts of gold, Fields Medals, and Nobel Prizes to be smuggled as, say, industrial waste. /s ;)
The instruction manual called "1984" arrived forty years late.
But the insurance companies are in the know. House insurance rates are raising a lot in many at risk states and areas. Just heard Texas joined that fun.
So seems capitalists involved with insurance and finance know the real facts.
Mainly it is the people who left and were fired. The brightest would jump ship instantly when DOGE started firing, and these scientists had lots of places to go. And the people fired probably had a lot of expertise. I have seen similar happen many times in computer science over the last 40+ years in the business. Once a company starts firing, the smartest people jumps ship.
But yes, I cannot trust the FDA anymore because the people still there will be too scared to push real science. They may taint their results even without doing it on purpose due to that fear.
The same is starting to happen in medial research, but seems that is getting more press. Trump/Kennedy just handed all the US future medical advancement directly to China, and I am sure more will come. Where do you think these bio researchers will go ? China will hire them and maybe even set up a shell corp. for them in the US so they do not have to relocate. Just the knowledge and patents will be sent to China.
The fossil fuel "won" by prioritizing profits over the environment. IMO, the world is heading straight to +3C and no way to stop it.
We could probably prevent 3.5C, but by then the world will probably be in a massive "war" footing due the 1 billion+ people migration north. Assuming civilization did not collapse.
We are about to not be the main drivers of change. I won’t be so optimistic about it stopping at 3, 3.5 °C or whatever near enough. What may change is how fast we will get there, but we already are reaching the limit set for the end of the century 10 years ago.
This should be much faster, it was created for people with limited network access.
