Reverse engineering (AI-assisted of course).

If I publish a novel that incorporates some quotes from Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, will courts rule that I have no copyright and the entire novel is public domain? I don't think so. Prove me wrong.

If I publish a program product that incorporates some public domain code, AI-generated or otherwise, will courts rule that I have no copyright and the entire product is public domain? I don't think so. Prove me wrong.

Of course the portions that are in the public domain remain in the public domain and everyone is free to copy them. But if you want to copy these portions, it is entirely up to you to identify them. I as the publisher don't have to assist you in any way.

Also note that if I publish an arrangement of a public domain tune, I have copyright on the arrangement, although not on the tune. Likewise, if I substantially edit public domain code, the copyright on the edits is mine. You are welcome to undo my edits and use the public domain portion as you see fit. I don't have to tell you what my edits were. Good luck.

There are more than 100,000 Kapoors in India. Most people who heard that name probably know one or more Bollywood actor bearing it, including Raj Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rajiv Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Karishma Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Jahnvi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor and countless others. All in all, I'd say the name Kapoor is hugely popular.

If Wikipedia says that the company im question is an American multinational, then it probably is.

I don't know what that means, is there hope for me? Not that I believe in souls...

The poles shifting southwards? What that would ever mean?

The blades may superficially resemble those of fixed-pitch toy helis, but they in fact have full cyclic and collective control.

BBCODE? Are we in 1998 again or what? Sign me up!

Once you order a ride, there is a contract with mutual obligations. Look at your next Uber receipt. Are you paying to the driver, or to Uber? Who are the parties of the contract?

Not a virologist here, you have been warned.

We don't know, no one has researched that. But most likely no.

On one hand, vaccination results in much stronger antibody production than natural infection, because the vaccine spike is deliberately engineered to do just that. So this may help. On the other hand, it is not known how getting the natural virus and the artificial spike at the same time affects that. On yet another hand, getting the antibodies from the vaccine up to full speed takes 4-6 weeks, which might be too long to successfully fight off the virus.

I tend to believe that the vaccine won't be of much help to most people who are already infected, but perhaps we should try and see what happens. It can't make the situation any worse, right?

So in your opinion companies cannot conduct penetration tests by sending phishbaits? Because everything they say to their employees is a commitment? It would be interesting to test your opinion in court. My company is doing it all the time, year after year, for may years, promising everything from Amazon gift cards to tickets to shows to parcels with unspecified content. I wonder why no one has sued them yet. Hmm, perhaps maybe, just maybe, this tactic is somehow legit? Social engineering penetration tests involve lying to the people you are testing, one way or another. That's the nature of the beast.

Darwin is an OS. Its kernel is called XNU. It is not quite a microkernel, it's a hybrid.

It's a well known attack vector, which is why the truly paranoid among us disable USB ports by default. Sometimes physically.

This of course won't save you from an attacker with a bit more than $20 at their disposal.

Wow, it looks like this is only the tip of the iceberg. This gang seems to have trolled a whole bunch of journals. Just google their names...

FOUR articles were published. All by the same collective of authors, each next one getting progressively more outlandish.

An internal investigation has raised sufficient evidence that they are not directly connected with the special issue Global Dermatology
