Pseu

It probably wouldn’t hold up in court, but it can be used as a bludgeon to dissuade people from filing in the first place. Roku is totally allowed to lie and say “You can’t sue, you agreed to mandatory arbitration. // You can’t join the class action, you agreed not to. If you do either of these things, we’ll sue you.”

This could easily dissuade quite a few people from litigating, limiting how much the company needs to pay out.

A car driven by a human is unlikely to need firefighters to lift the vehicle up to get at the woman pinned by its tire. Even if they’re good at general driving they have an unfortunate habit of making emergencies worse.

Trump’s PAC is paying his legal fees, not Trump himself. So far the Save America PAC seems to have spent at least 10 million on legal fees for the former president.

This is per year. And most degrees are 4 years, though it’s not uncommon for them to run to 5. So by the time a student graduates they have on average ~$37k in debt.

The House GOP voted down the funding bill the House GOP proposed: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4230386-house-conservatives-tank-gop-short-term-funding-bill/

They may need to make concessions to Democrats that they would otherwise not need to make to get this passed, despite having a majority of the House.

World war 2.1.

The issue is that by Senate policy, one person can throw a massive wrench in the process and grind things to a halt. Progressives typically want to do things, which cannot be done by one person throwing a hissy fit.

A place can have a barren atmosphere and aesthtic while also having content to find, even if that content is more sparse or minimal, suited to that lonely environment

That’s exactly what they’ve done.

A “barren” planet still has stuff. In the 5 minutes or so that I did random exploration I found a colonist hut that was razed by pirates with a hidden chest with like 3k credits, and a random vendor who was going a little nuts for being alone so long. Nothing incredible, but enough to make the place not feel dead on a random frozen moon.

They’re trams in the city, so relatively slow. Live and maintained vegetation has too much water to burn: boiling away the water takes more energy than the fuel provides.

It’s probably also got those pop-up sprinklers, so if a fire does happen, you just turn on the water.

Both! Just because someone has a D next to their name doesn’t exempt them from the law.

As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.

This is what I do when I can’t unsubscribe in a minute. No reason to waste time on this, it is a solved problem.

Cancer risk from radiation is not just the absolute amount of exposure, but the duration of the exposure as well. Short high-intensity radiation doses carry higher risk than long, low-intensity doses.

And 100mSv/yr is a rate, which is greater than 44mSv/yr. After 4 years, you will still have not had the dose needed that is linked with increased cancer risk.

I’m personally of the opinion that the hints aren’t for the UFO expansion, but it’s probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

It’s sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

If you’re not upset, why’d you call them cunts?

There’s only a small handful of cars that have primarily electronic door handles. Teslas are the worst because opening the door without power is very different than opening it with power and sometimes breaks the window. I think it was Mercedes or someone who has a power lock but the manual release is part of the same lever, you just pull it out farther.

Copyright is not ownership. You can own something, but not hold the copyright to it.

Personality rights are also not copyright and as the ruling was not about personality rights, it did not affect these rights (where they exist in the US). Disregarding both AI and the recent ruling, if someone takes a photograph of you, you do not hold the copyright to it, the photographer does. If the photographer then does something with that image that harms your reputation you may be able to sue.

And no, it is unlikely that there is a distinction between one’s likeness and “AI generated likeness,” it usually doesn’t matter if you use a photograph or a drawing of an individual, it is the identity that is protected regardless of what tool was used.

Workers will try, and some will win but many will lose. The company switching to AI assisted work is already going to be laying off a sizable portion of their workforce. If anything wages are going to go down due to the productivity gains as hiring will be easier.

Now if workers have a strong and useful union, they might have the leverage to negotiate favorable terms. But without that, the benefits of technological capital does not go to the workers.

It also does not experience space, as the entire universe has been length contracted in its direction of motion into a 2d plane. It is simultaneously occupying every point along its path. So it doesn’t need to experience time.

Quantum computers don’t break encryption by guessing passwords, it breaks encryption by being able to quickly factor extremely large numbers. What password is used doesn’t matter, it’s a more direct attack on the algorithm itself.
