Purely functional expressions are not copyrightable. Only creative expressions are copyrightable.

Man, I’m going to get tired typing this.

Purely functional expressions are not copyrightable.

Purely functional expressions are not copyrightable.

Let me remind you that copyright only applies to creative expressions. Purely functional expressions are not copyrightable.

Reminds me of a Google Voice transcript of a spam voicemail that was partly in Chinese. The last "sentence" was "I do not cranking I soon 2013 tonight."

And I seem to remember this from back before Alpha was a thing in more like April or May of 2020.

But this certainly isn't exactly new news, and probably will keep getting posted at least once a year after COVID becomes endemic, timed shortly after we enter flu and COVID season every winter.

I'm pretty sure you're off on the total bill by at least one order of magnitude, probably two.

Do you know the rates of myocarditis and vascular injury from SARS-CoV2 infection?

Hint: They're significantly higher than the rates of myocarditis and vascular injury from the COVID vaccines.

I'm more pessimistic than that, but even I think that within 5-10 years, COVID will have an annual death toll somewhere between the common cold and the flu

That’s not a problem unless you fail to remain silent. Invoking the 5th, in theory, means the police have to stop questioning you.

If your phone is compatible with the network technology. Like, your analog bagphone from like 1994 ain't gonna make a 911 call unless you find somewhere where there's an AMPS signal, which seems unlikely since as far as I know there hasn't been an AMPS network anywhere since 2010.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if they broadcast a bit of LTE band 2 or something in a way that only accepted emergency calls

Almost right. Copyright protects creative expressions of ideas, not the ideas themselves.

If the intent of open code is for learning, it shouldn’t matter if I teach a machine instead of a person.

If your “copyrighted code” comes out of an AI, I would suggest your expression isn’t particularly creative to begin with. Most folks can’t wrap their head around the idea that the vast majority of software is purely functional expression and thus isn’t particularly copyrightable to begin with. Larry can go f#€k his hat.

What 64 bit x86 processor does your iPhone have?

I'd guess it might be higher than 41% because it seems plausible that people more likely to get COVID (people in corrections facilities, nursing homes, or other similar living arrangements, essential workers, etc) are also more likely to have gotten vaccinated.
