Lawsuits are not guilty verdicts. Also, "lines of code" have nothing to do with whether they were copied, as in copy-paste, or filtered through somone's brain first.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about and are too lazy to even do a simple Google search, so what youthinks is pretty irrelevant.

Use of "digital" meaning purchasing a download appears to have originated in "digital phonorecord delivery", a term of art in a United States copyright law.

It seems like an unnecessary button. LinkedIn already has an icon that labels slop posts generally. It's a blue field with white letters "in".

You're going to buy a car with a list price of $X. Then you find out that it was in a bad hailstorm, or driven by the dealership owner's kid all summer or something. Nothing has changed, so you're still willing to pay list price, right?

More similar to this situation, you're selling your corner store. Corner stores of that kind are typically worth about $Y. However, a new school opened close by and your store is suddenly making twice as much as similar stores. Nothing has changed, so you're still willing to sell for $Y right?

When a human reads code and then produces very similar code, that is infringement.

It is not, any more than when someone writes a book about elves, some Slashdotter parrots something they heard somewhere, or a half decent programmer writes any of the algorithms found in Numerical Methods. The GP is correct, copyright protects the specific expression, not the idea, and both law and precedent protect the case where you read something, put it down, then generate your own. Only substantial portions of exact text and distinctive and recognizable things like character names are protected, and even then only when there are no circumstances like a limited number of ways to write something.

Proving you did that can be tricky. THAT's why "clean-room" implementations were invented. You document the fact that the implementer had no contact with the original so any resulting expression is obviously not infringing.

GCC is covering their asses, as they should. They wrote a completely unenforceable policy so if some bit of code is found to infringe on something for whatever reason they can just remove it and blame the dastardly policy violating original submitter.

Nope and it's not AI. Those are expert systems and the chatbots are Lizabots making Barnum statements.

There was a time when actual computer scientitsts frequented this site. Naive Bayes is a classic AI algorithm, and natural language context filtering is a classic AI problem.

Business types call it "pivoting." It's when your great idea turns out to be not a great idea but you don't want to return the investors' money so you quickly come up with another great idea.

The Hugging Face founders seem to have wanted to be smartasses and name their company with an emoji instead of actual words. Then they accidentally became more famous than they intended.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

> How many people does it take to run a data center after taking up all this property and all this land that could have been used for something else?

Some medium number of H1B's?

No, the jobs are not going to the citizens of the county where the citizens are subsidizing for all this for their own enslavement.

Who would ever believe such a thing after the Covid lies?

I know someone who really wants to be an electrician's apprentice but the same three slots that have existed in this metro area for the past decade are the same three slots that exist today.

Ah, well, there are pointless wars to fund and Surveillance Bros to enrich.

> Electrical Workers

Damn, son, good catch.

Some of them do metal stud framing. "Framers" might be more accurate?

> I could have done myself if the government didn't require a licensed install?

Are you going to call the cops on yourself?

Nobody pays attention to cartels where I live.

Their War on Energy has to be about depopulation at this point. They've destroyed 20% of world oil, sulfur, helium, fertilizer, natgas, and now they're going after the building blocks of home solar installs that could help people cope.

At the same time the RFP for Draft Management Software closed today.

Even Alex Jones is calling for impeachment. They've gone totally off the deep end.

Power Inverter means:
A bi-directional power device or system that converts direct current electricity to alternating current electricity, or converts alternating current electricity to direct current electricity, to include microinverters, string inverters, central inverters, and hybrid (battery-based) inverters; and Contains components that enable remote communication, control, sensing, data-collection, or monitoring through Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth, or other similar connections.

Everything useful has Bluetooth in it now. That's how you hook it up to Home Assistant. Somebody should tell the FCC that Bluetooth doesn't reach to China.

Imagine all the crime the Bell System was used to perpetrate!

So many Russians use Telegram, including front-line soldiers.

There's more to this story that we don't know.
