I'll see your story about robots raising children and raise you Isaac Asimov's The Naked Sun.

No, it is different than Bitcoin. In this case, "gambling" means "receiving a specified amount of money if a specific event occurs" (for example, receiving $1000 if Team A wins today's game). Buying Bitcoin doesn't meet the "specified amount of money" part of the definition, and "the price goes up" generally wouldn't be considered a specific enough event.

Bitcoin would fit the common colloquial definition of gambling, but not this specific legal definition.

I came here to look for this and add it if I didn't find it.

Lunar "soil" is essentially neutral, just needs some additives. Conversely, Martian "soil" is actually poisonous. Additives alone aren't sufficient to get things to grow in it, you need to remove the poisonous parts first.

Net: It's easier to grow plants in lunar rather than Martian "soil".

If it were a regular law, a state court could potentially invalidate it for violating the state constitution in some way.

I fail to see the problem here.

I'm pretty sure that when articles like this are talking about grid-scale storage, they aren't talking about the small amount of storage that might be useful for load smoothing.

What other sources? You only need storage when you have excess generation that you can't control. If you can reduce generation when needed, why bother with storage?

What exactly do you think grid-scale batteries are used for, if not storing excess energy from solar and wind power generation?

You could be quoting my bipolar cousin, with his ivermectin, nanobot vaccine, and societal collapse delusions. His family doesn't deserve this.

If I remember correctly, it isn't quite that bad. I think it's for a religious school, so it is money being spent on children and not a scam by religious leaders to make money for themselves. It certainly isn't transparent in the ads, and I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to donate to them.

I've seen ads for a small performance venue having shows that I've gone to. I think that might be it, though. The vast majority of Facebook ads that I see are completely irrelevant to me.

If the music or movie that you're copying was generated by AI with no human involvement beyond a trivial prompt, then yes. You're highly unlikely to find much like that.

Of course the prosecutors and judge already knew the answer. That's why the prosecutors did it - to show that the defendant should have known (by simply asking, if he didn't already know) that an LLM is not an attorney and therefore not covered by any attorney privilege.

The prosecutors wouldn't have done the exercise if they didn't know what result they would get.

You've over simplifying some very complicated things.

Nothing about this is remotely complicated. At all.

I have zero love for America or Israel, but Iran has been a globally very dangerous shithole since its move to a theocracy in 1979 and it's rule by a single supreme leader.

Which is still all your fault for overthrowing their secular democracy in 1953. Go yell at a mirror.

The threat it posed goes far beyond Israel

Iran hasn't attacked another country for centuries.

which is why largely most of the world banded together to prevent those lunatics from developing their nuclear program.

Iran has no nuclear weapons program. YOU are the lunatic necon.

Pearl Harbor was a very surgical strike. And you wouldn't have your head up there if Russia or China struck DC and kidnapped the American president.
