Promoting American industry by buying American getting airplanes as gifts from other countries.

They also said that they were cancelling lifetime contracts that hadn’t been used in 6 months. Hard to see how those could be sinking the company.

You don’t have to make it harder to drive. It’s a question of separating the cars from the bikes. Designate some streets for bikes and some for cars. That is better for both.

Where they cross, some junctions should prioritise cars and some bikes.

Also separate the pedestrians from the bikes on the same basis.

I think we have to thank people like this for demonstrating that losing your collection isn’t just a theoretical risk.

Well thank goodness that Microsoft isn’t pushing AI on us as hard as it can, via every channel that it can.

I cannot see how they could comply with both that and the GDPR, so the UK is asking Apple to choose between operating in the UK and operating in the 27 countries of the EU. Tough call.

He probably did it to troll people and spark outrage but that does not mean that he isn’t also a Nazi / fascist.

I don’t think that the safe harbour provision should apply when the person posting is the owner of the company.

Is one of those things giving attribution? If I ask for a picture of Mount Fuji in the style of a woodblock print, can the AI tell me what its inspirations were?

AIs take away attribution as well as copyright. The original authors don’t get any credit for their creativity and hard work. That is an entirely separate thing from ownership and property.

It is not at all OK for an AI to take a work that is in the public domain, erase the author’s identity, and then reproduce it for people, claiming it as its own.

I am taking issue with your calling them “habitual losers” since it’s demonstrably untrue. If you only look at the last election, you can’t call it “habitual”. If you widen the timescale, the worst possible is the last 3, in which they still won 1/3. In any other timescale, they were even or won more. Sure, there are other offices, but the presidency is quite a big one to overlook.

I said that you aren’t ever going to understand what really happened if you start with a false premise, and you’re obviously going to defend your false premise to the end, so I’m out.

Yes! Let’s have some reflection and not pick the timescale to suit a narrative. The “habitual losers” won 3 of the last 5. Pelosi, Clinton, Biden etc. were all very present when Obama was in the Whitehouse.

I totally agree that it’s ridiculous to lose to Trump, but you can’t claim that they lost because their platform could never win, because it already has - including against Trump.

Why did they lose? I don’t know - but I do know that you aren’t going to find the answer if you start from a false premise.

I wasn’t suggesting that they do. I was commenting on the fact that they don’t even have the decency to pretend.

Absolutely. Trump wants to sell that info, not give it away!

Of course. It’s just that they haven’t even come up with a plausible excuse.

it’s standard for providers to bill for two colonoscopies if they remove two or more polyps in different ways.

Billing for 2 procedures instead of 1 could conceivably explain why the bill was twice as high as the estimate. It could not possibly explain why the bill was three times as high as the estimate.

It would be a ‘critical position for fighting Trump’ if you hadn’t voted Trump in.

The “habitual losers” won last time around.

In the medieval period, there was the common idea that if something is too perfect, it must have been made by the Devil. To forestall accusations of having done a deal with the Devil, craftsmen would often deliberately introduce flaws in their design.

That’s why there are always gaps in my dovetails.

Thou is singular and you is plural. Thou art. You are.

How clearly can Musk telegraph that if you want safety, you shouldn’t drive a Tesla? More evidence that he is a genius CEO.
