> I am not paying taxes for the purpose of having feds violate the law, national or international.
I assure you, yes you are.
What you mean is, you don't WANT your taxes to pay for those things.
But they do. And they always will.
The issue became that those automatic labels aren't always communicated to other services -- so you'd end up with, for example and most aggravatingly, your newsreel on your mobile device passing you a link for a new trailer and discover only after clicking it that it wasn't the official trailer but an AI fake.
I had already had to ask my phone to stop showing me content from Screen Culture because of this problem. It is deliberately deceptive practices that Screen Culture was engaging in.
The introductory tutorial involves cartoon caricatures of Donald Trump and Elon Musk meta-explaining the features of the AI animation program.
*It does not get better from there.*
The entire project feels like they distilled a Family Guy Knock Off TV Series Production Executive Who Isn't Even Allowed In The Writer's Room into an AI.
It's just... *that fucking bad*.
Verdict: Absolute dogshit. Not even in a "so bad you'll be ironically entertained" way. Just in a "this is abhorrent and everything it produces is soulless and unfunny".
The Lockheed Skunkwords CFR is either a) a complete bust, or b) successful enough that the department of defense has hopped all over it and classified the shit out of it.
Normally with most companies I'd assume it was a), but given it's the Skunkworks, the answer could range anywhere from "we actually solved this twenty years ago but can't admit that" to "it won't ever work but the Department of Defense and Department of Energy back dumptrucks of money up to our doors to keep trying".
At the Royal Mint plant, piles of circuit boards are being fed into the new facility.
First, they are heated to remove their various components. Then the array of detached coils, capacitors, pins and transistors are sieved, sorted, sliced and diced as they move along a conveyor belt. Anything with gold in it is set aside.
âoeWhat we're doing here is urban mining,â says head of sustainability Inga Doak. âoeWe're taking a waste product that's being produced by society and we're mining the gold from that waste product and starting to see the value in that finite resource.â
The gold-laden pieces go to an on-site chemical plant. Theyâ(TM)re tipped into a chemical solution which leaches the gold out into the liquid. This is then filtered, leaving a powder behind. It looks pretty nondescript but this is actually pure gold â" it just needs to be heated in a furnace to be transformed into a gleaming nugget.
âoeTraditional gold recovery processes are very energy intensive and use very toxic chemicals that can only be used once, or they go to high energy smelters and they're basically burnt,â says Leighton John, the Royal Mint's operations director. âoeThe groundbreaking thing for us is the fact that this chemistry is used at room temperature, at very low energy, itâ(TM)s recyclable and pulls gold really quickly.â
Wow, you did not read the story at all, did you?
The guy isn't a "google insider", he's a long-standing foe to Google. Foe means enemy. The opposite of friend.
Blocking ads is much easier on PC than on mobile devices. Who wants to even bother to try to read an article on a smartphone anymore? It's all ads and pop-ups and intrusions and notifications for days. Fuck that noise.
PC, I run sufficient adblocker that I don't see 95% of that crap.
Apple's legal counsel gets to see this data, NOT Apple itself, and the data is under a protection order by the judge.
A third-party subpoena is a fairly common thing in business litigation; the court balances the power of that kind of discovery by strictly limiting who gets to have eyes on it (lawyers, not clients) and stacking up both enormous liability and penalties, both civil and criminal, for leaking or sharing that information beyond the legal counsel.
This is a pretty humdrum decision by the courts, it's just exciting to nerds because of the brand names involved.
Why exemption #9? Is that to avoid someone having an unfair advantage in mining scouting, or what?
What the father failed to do in this situation was draft up a contractual agreement with the other woman in this case, with her agreeing to reimburse him for any expenses or support related to the child in perpetuity.
Which would still leave him out-of-pocket until he could collect from her, but it would (probably, IANAL, your state or provincial laws may vary) be a legal arrangement.

Because that invites reciprocation of that attitude from other countries. Most people tend to get angry when foreigners from anywhere come into their country and intentionally disrespect the local cultural mores and laws.
I'll give you an easy, hyperbolic example:
By that same argument, how do you feel about Sudanese refugees performing female genital mutilation just down the street from where you live? How do you feel about them snorting in contempt at you when you show outrage, saying: "If a country doesn't respect my cultural norms, then why respect it at all?"
Etc. Etc.
If it has syntax, it isn't user friendly.
