As someone who does a fair amount of work travel it really has become preferable to book through the hotel and airline sites than use Priceline or Expedia. Hotels generally don't give you rewards points, they won't handle issues at the front desk (you'll have to call Expedia) and as mentioned the policies are different. Most hotels will honor the price rate a 3rd party site offers as well if you ask them to.
people lose themselves when they have nothing to do that involves more than just enjoyment.
Having that amount of money gives you the privilege of being able to sort that out for yourself, he gets to decide between enjoyment and doing literally anythign else he wants.
It's something 99.99% of us will never have the option of experiencing, we are effectively denied that choice, my point is a person with a billion-with-a-B dollars has an experience with life that is inhuman to the rest of the planet.
Considering the trend of defense contractors naming themselves after Tolkien I think to these guys it's just as simple "It sounds cool and there is a metaphor and symbolism somewhere I can't be assed to really think about beyond the thin film of surface tension"
"Working" is an entirely different prospect when it's optional, when you can choose to walk away any day, any time with zero consequences. You won't go hungry, you won't have to worry about your rent, nobodies gonna give you shit if you want to roll in around 11:30 this Monday.
Really this scenario is the only legit "right to work" that exists, when you are wealthy enough to choose to work and where and how.
IIRC, in music copyright cases one bar of sufficiently similar notes is enough to justify suing for copyright infringement. And a composition of names is enough to justify the grant of copyright.
Law being what it is, that doesn't really prove anything, but it strongly suggests that a "novel combination" of code should be copyrightable even if all the pieces are public domain.
That's clearly the ideal approach. The problem is that you're likely to end up drowning in submissions.
Yes, but if you take several pieces of public domain code and create a new composition with them, that new composition is copyright. (I don't think you can even avoid having a copyright, though you can have a license that is essentially the same as public domain.)
Well...now I suppose you can avoid a copyright by feeding it into an AI and then having the AI regurgitate it. Or, if I've understood the news stories correctly, by claiming that an AI wrote it rather than "wrote the basic parts which you later adjusted".
I'm an American so I don't appreciate you pushing these woke Arabic numerals on my kids.
That is how it's been, Those AI tools were trained on open source/public domain content, so any contribution by AI tools must be considered released under public domain. It does not get simpler than that, and current US copyright law has already indicated that any AI created works are not eligible for copyright
That's not the question.
The question is whether the AI-produced code is a derivative of existing code, and the answer is still not resolved.
In some cases, the answer is a clear YES, because the code is a direct copy of something written by someone else. If something like that ends up in the kernel, it will have to be removed when someone notices.
Yeah, because all even/all odd is (from basic statistics) rare, and happens to be rarer than the percentage of people who play all-even or all-odd, so you'd be more likely to split any winnings.
That's too many numbers, some of them gotta be made up
So your point is that a dump does in fact exist for solar panels and solar panels can be damaged by hurricanes. I honestly don't think you live in the same state as me.
