I guess I am :)
Thank you for the links

That was true up to a few years ago, I have not seen any evidence of it having increased in the last few years, do you have some report showing this recent overseas hiring?

Definitely bad at math, not sure about the rest. 100 - 66 = 34 :)

This is a real issue. I manage about 100 websites with lot of well written (not by me, so it is actually well written :) interdisciplinary content for a public university.

We are having the very same issue and we basically have no budget to improve our infrastructure (which was sub par to begin with). We get waives of what it looks like a denial of service attack, but it is actually a concerted scraping of our sites from an entire subnets. Sometimes located in the US, sometimes from some random country in the world. I have changed the robots.txt file to allow only search indexing, but it is completely ignored, so I'm constantly adding ip subnets to the block list of my firewall so that the actual "ppl" that would like to read the content of our sites are able to reach them.

I feel the pain that Wikimedia must feel.

What percentage of National Public Data's revenue is $46,000?

Very well put. And this line made my day, very, very true:

I'm sorry, I don't buy it, if it was that easy to change the outcome of an election, we would need to question and likely cancel every "democratic" elections.

Interesting, I knew nothing about regulations in Spain, but a question obviously arise: if you are not allowed to place a private camera facing the street, how is google allowed to face the camera from the street to people's houses?

Oh, thank you for the correction!

It took me a while to find it but this seems to be te actual executive order that is being appealed: https://www.federalregister.go...

My understanding is that the pipes were functional and that Germany, and possibly other European countries, were still using the gas (while they supposedly prepared to acquire it from other sources in the future). In fact, for what I remember, Germany was a bit reluctant to fully stop using Russian gas. The pipes destruction forced Germany to move to other sources immediately.

My understanding is that youtube pays the copyright owners with advertising revenues. if Musi is able to skip/avoid the ads, then no royalties are paid.

Exactly, this speaks more about OpenAI incompetence than anything else. They only destroyed the lawyer's work (which can be redone) so no evidence is destroyed, but how can you trust OpenAI provided all of the files used for training if they can't even perform a backup properly?

The concept is good, but I'm not sure a good data set exists in real life :)

IMHO, any intelligence, artificial or not, will inevitably lead to the decision to NOT use HP Printers.
