Unfortunately the only perjury possible in a take-down notice is for not actually being an authorized agent of the copyright holder

Of a copyright holder. Maybe things have improved, but it used to be that you couldn't upload a recording of your own performance of classical music by a long-dead composer without getting takedown notices relating to other, commercial, recordings of the same work.

/. belongs to the days when people who knew about møøse bites also knew about HTML entities.

It usually means it's full of aspartame or sucralose.

Potato crisps/chips can be minimally processed, but commercial ones are sprayed with a mix of flavourings, colourings, emulsifiers to keep the spray from splitting, etc. That's where they become ultra-processed.

I watch a chess player with a calm voice and style, and when I'm starting to fall asleep I sometimes pause the video but sometimes just turn off the screen.

Depends on context. There are some videos I watch because I'm interested, and other videos I watch to go to sleep. With the latter it's quite nice to be able to turn the screen off and still listen to the audio.

"Deliver" isn't really the right verb. "Front" is more accurate. The small handful of big companies get the contract, but then they subcontract it to one of a larger number of medium/big companies, and that company subsubcontracts it to a small company which does all the actual delivery and gets about 10% of the original fee.

You're a month too late to hire her.

In 2014, a couple of months after he stepped down as Director of Public Prosecutions (and more than a year before he became an MP).

Cross-contamination isn't the only issue that needs to be controlled for. Some of the analyses performed don't do a good job of distinguishing microplastics from the animal fats which are naturally present in animal tissue, and some of the papers don't give any indication of realising that this is a factor that needs to be taken into account when interpreting the analyses. So although it's indeed no surprise that microplastics are in the human body, the evidence for how much there is is less strong than claimed by some studies. (Disclaimer: I read the article before it was posted to /.).

It's the link in the header, immediately after the pernicious title.

In the AI space, they're the ones selling shovels and pickaxes. .... The doomsayers already weren't going to buy shovels and pickaxes anyway, so what difference does it make?

Isn't the issue that they're not being paid up front in full for the shovels and pickaxes, so they need the bubble to last long enough for them to collect payment, and people pointing out that it's a bubble might provoke its collapse?

Per etymonline.com:

victim (n.)

mid-15c., "sacrificial animal, living creature killed and offered as a sacrifice to a deity or supernatural power, or in the performance of a religious rite;" from Latin victima "sacrificial animal; person or animal killed as a sacrifice," a word of uncertain origin.

The point is that either you accept that words can change in meaning over time or you don't, but to allow semantic drift for victim and not for survivor is inconsistent.

Victims are never survivors: they're animals or humans which have been killed in a religious sacrifice.

You need to scan a boarding pass to get into the security check area, but it's about twenty years since I was last asked for a passport at that stage. In that time I've made more than a hundred flights in western Europe.
