They bought it because it was incredibly popular and it allowed them to drive a huge amount of new business to their games section.

The Wasabi was delivered inside a capsule that just happened to contain modafinil as well. /s

Amazon will refund you within 45 days, if it's a discretionary refund. My issue with that is that Amazon also charges the merchant a refund fee on top of that!

It's actually a perfect analogue. Let's assume we're talking about a professional photographer. Your camera takes a photo and saves all the information that the sensor collects. Than you pop it into your computer, load up your software, and unless you're an incredible control freak, you're using a bunch of different presets to edit your photos. A number of those presets are going to be indistinguishable from AI. If you do any large scale work on that photo, even just selecting elements that's A.I. You want to remove an object? Also A.I. So the question becomes, where is the line in the sand drawn?

That's a consumer. Prosumer units are well made.

I really wish Kuro5hin would come back. That and /. used to be all I needed.

Sure the resolution is better, but what actual advantage does that give me? I've watched a few videos, looked at some comparisons, and it seems like the vast, vast, majority of the time the visual difference between 1080p and 1440 the difference is unnoticeable. Hell the visual difference between 1080p and 4k is barely noticeable most of the time! Yes, there's a great deal more data, and it can be worth recording in 4k, but actually watching something? If you're gaming on a TV, or using a 32" monitor, I could see it, but for casual gaming on a 15-24 inch gaming monitor? It's virtually worthless.

It's because the summary is incredibly misleading. The SCOTUS ruling only states that this specific use of the image in question was infringing. Not that the picture itself was. In this case the photographer's photo was going to be used, but than the magazine discovered they could license warhol's version for less, while using it for the same exact thing.

That's why they want rules. They've already brought at least one enforcement action against a cryptocurrency's creator, XRP.

Now? That has been happening for at least 20 years.

The issue with making prime office space into affordable housing is that the area isn't priced for it. I don't mean the real estate, I mean the actual services in the area. In more expensive areas, everything from grocery stores to barbershops to clothing stores charge more. In order to convert that into an area that can support affordable housing, a lot more work needs to be done.

You're also grossly misunderstanding copyright. Simply drawing mickey mouse is not an infringement. Displaying it publicly may be, using it for commercial purposes definitely is.

I guess it doesn't really matter, but does anyone else think it's weird that the summary uses the word "fucking" in it? I don't recall ever seeing any uncensored profanity, in a summary, on /. before.

The thing about DSLR's now is that 90% of the time you can run them in full Auto and you'll get perfectly acceptable photos. Simply switching from full auto to Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority modes will turn the vast majority of your acceptable photos into Good photos, assuming of course you know how to properly control the Aperture/Shutter. Obviously Manual lets you take better photos, but for 99% of real world situations, weddings including (assuming proper/standard lighting), it isn't necessary. Often what separates Good photos from Great photos is the framing, and the post-processing.

Apple is unique in fully gating users into the App Store. Google does not restrict third party installation. Microsoft when it was developing a mobile OS allowed the same. Blackberry did as well.
