The problem I would see with the Holy Bible is that to much of it would be available in single verses that it would be easy to replicate even without the complete text. In addition everything is labeled for location; such as John 1:1:, Acts 2:1, etc
Now an interesting try would be to see if some AI could replicate the complete text from just those verses and do so in the various translations. For english there are just a few translations that are widely used and the style and wording is different enough that it should have a good change.

Comment Local responsibility is not a issue. (Score 1) 384

It is a requirement that they have some place in the local area so that if there are problems the purchaser has some place to complain to or to sue.
A car is the 2nd largest purchase of a person, house being the first, and without these protections car manufacturers would just do a "you must sue us in the state of our choice". Requiring a local dealer allows the car purchaser to sue them instead of having to deal with any trickery of the manufacturer.

So what are these subsidization in Pennsylvania, where this is taking place, that are not standard business deductions that other companies, besides fossil fuels, get to take?
For example there is a tax break of around 30% of the cost for solar panels, that is a unique subsidization for solar panels. What are similar ones for fossil fuels?

That is what I would like to know. they are not doing it against a protected class of people it is against everyone equally.
That they figured that if a person purchased items 1 and 2 they would then be willing to purchase 3 at a higher price go for them as a business, bad for me as that person, but why should that be criminal.

that is why ISA are what should be enforced and loans removed.
If you want to get a degree in grievance studies go ahead but you better be self funded or expect to put a large percent of your future paycheck back into paying for that compared to someone that gets a degree with value.

Comment Re:EV are not the future, they are a stopgap solut (Score 1) 352

Around 70% of people in the US have a garage so that leave the 30% who don't have a method of charging at home and even for those with a garage do they have room in the garage for charging or even enough room for the number of cars that would need charging.
So that means that extra electrical connectors would be needed and once you start getting into that having to go to a refueling station for a quick refuel, like is done with gas, is not an issue.

The math and science say that they are not sustainable in large scale use due to the issues of charging and getting enough power to both houses and recharging stations.
Yea they have the issue of quick charging solved but it requires that the end-user use the equivalent of industrial power cables, not very practical.
Fuel cell look to be a far better future. technology already exists for small scale local production, for instance at the "gas station". The issues of storage and some other thing such as lowing the cost are being worked on and being solved.

Comment Don't find those. (Score 1) 53

Don't really mind those kinds of ads, I am pausing because i want to go off an do something so show all the ads you want.
They are like the ads on a kindle, yea I see them when I am turning it on but so what on that, they don't interfere or cause me to pause what I want to see or read.
What does bug me about them are how non-personalized they are. Especially for amazon why am I getting all these ads for romance novels, I have never read one or purchased one. Give me ads of things I am interested in, give me ads with discount for things I purchase.
