There are people who are train specialized systems that do want specialized resources. They're not buying lots of books from booksellers, especially not rare ones. They're ingesting scientific papers.

Your "amatuer historian" should really not generalize so much. It might also want to do a Google search.

Hawaii is one of a handful of cases where it's pretty clear who was there first and what happened to them.

The summary says it looks something like a spinning fan, which makes sense. How visible it is would depend on the fraction of the view that is occluded: wider or more "fan blades" would be more visible.

How visible it is to cameras would absolutely depend on the shutter speed they're using. You'd have to avoid shutter speeds that sync too closely with the drones' rotation, or you could further enhance the effect in a camera with a fast shutter speed and an algorithm that paints in occluded areas with information from the previous frame.

Stop using the word insider. It's a weasel word.

What? That doesn't make sense.

Insider trading is defined as trading a public company's stock based on non-public information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Trading on advanced knowledge of, um, important policy decisions, is insider trading.

Imagine someone finds out that the SEC is going to ban the trading of cryptocurrencies.
Imagine he tells the world.
Everyone who trades on that is guilty of insider trading

If he tells his wife, kids, buddy at the pub, random people on the street, a stadium full of people, and they trade on it then yes, they are guilty of insider trading. If he makes the information properly public then it's no longer non-public information so not insider trading, probably.

No, this is someone monetizing their market moving power.

That's what Trump is doing. The United States, the Greatest Democracy in the World has embarked on a new experiment where its president is officially above the law, so he's definitely not getting charged with that.

The OP said "you can now buy Inside Trading!" (emphasis mine). The people buying aren't "monetizing their market moving power." They're buying insider information, presumably so that they can trade on it. That is the definition of insider trading. They're also not above the law so they could get charged for it. Of course, the Great and Infallible Founding Fathers of the United States of America also decided that the president should have the unlimited ability to pardon crimes so....

Oh dear, you have detected my sarcasm!

You can't "aim for the sun." It's easier to go to another star than it is to drop something into the sun.

You just have to wait the correct number of milliseconds until it becomes public information, then execute your trade. I'll bet someone has figured out the delay to allow enough time for some model or another to run. All nice and legal, just like how the two term restriction only applies to consecutive terms.

Something like that might deter high frequency traders who are basically exploiting noise. This is different. It's advance insider access to announcements that cause real changes. Well, that and the usual Trump noise, but even that usually takes well over 24 hours before it's obvious TACO.

Right, lots of institutions send PDFs specifically because you can lock the text, provide specific form entry boxes, and get a reasonably secure signature. All of which are features of PDF, which is an open standard.

They don't send you a Word document which is arguably not an open standard because Word doesn't actually conform to it's own standard.

AI companies want quantity. If they wanted old, rare books they'd download the public domain copies provided by everyone from the Internet Archive to Google.

Fans don't like big camera drones flying around in front of the action they paid ridiculous prices to sort of see. Stadiums are also both big and loud.

One small book seller said that in April,

It's right there. The last story on Slashdot about this was an ad from a company trying to sell books to AI companies. It makes a good story. Ad in some credulous people who suppy their own adjectives like "exponential" and there you go.

Probably a few (as in count-on-one-hand) companies are buying bulk books, one copy of each.

Because nobody was every "first" on any land.

Are we talking Wheel of Time, Battlestar Galactica or some version of Hindu or Buddhist infinite cyclic time?

Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. Finding it is a very long shot that seems to have happened only twice. By the best evidence we have, Hawaii was first settled by Polynesians around a thousand years ago and stayed pretty isolated up until James Cook stumbled upon it in 1778. The queen of Hawaii was overthrown in 1893 by US marines and US fruit growers, and annexed by the US in 1898.

It didn't start with Trump. The US has a lot of enemies and sometimes has difficulty distinguishing between a dispute with a competing nation and individual scientists from that nation. Trump definitely made it worse though.

BC search and rescue has lots of very good reasons why they don't charge. It's a public service like police, fire and health care.
