That’s not quite the way they summarized the plot on the Oscar nomination, but yes.

Thanks to the KKK, I assume.

I was surprised by how Mickey 17 used a similar plot point.

I’m no Musk apologist, but this statement is nowhere close to being true.

I view the patent process as furthering the ability of others to benefit from the results: without patents, the only way to keep clones of your product from immediately appearing on the market is obfuscation and trade secrets. Patents grant a limited monopoly, but at the price of full disclosure. That full disclosure serves a useful social benefit as others can learn and innovate on what was done before. The limited monopoly encourages innovation because it helps people get exclusive rights to sell their work.

There’s a lot of bad patent behavior with patent trolls, etc. The duration of the patents should be relatively short and not extensible. But I think the disclosure aspect of the patent process does further overall innovation.

I’d like to get back to ‘for limited time’. Patents 10 years, no extensions. Copyright, 10 years, no extensions. Trademarks indefinite as long as the owner still has a meaningful business still operating and using the trademark ( this one is tricky to define well).

Deep blue Washington state has the advantage of giant amounts of hydroelectric generation combined with a relatively small population to consume it.

The money has to come from somewhere.

That’s why elons team took over the treasury payments system.

I think you meant Thompson, hopefully not Tompkins.

Only the current generation of trees. The previous generations that have been broken down into soil are mostly not going back into the atmosphere as co2

He said “which bank”, which could be determined by the sniffing DNS requests, or seeing which IPs his computer is connecting to.

Not a breach of his personal information (assuming the bank that he’s using and the client he’s using after putting everything in TLS properly).

I took a flyer on some GME back during the excitement. Got in at about $35, set a limit order at $420.69 (nice) for the lolz, and was pleasantly amused when that order got filled.

Yes, let’s spend money on a system that only helps people in a specific set of buildings only during specific parts of the day and year when the buildings are occupied, rather than doing anything that would help society at large, at all times and anywhere in the country.

Like I said, it’s impossible to know what the right thing to do here, much less actually do it.

Hmmm, one involves fleecing school district funding in a grift, the other reduces profits to armaments manufacturers.

I really can’t figure this out! How is it possible to know?

That’s basically what Netflix did in the beginning. The challenge for Netflix is that the media companies they were licensing content from weren’t dumb, so the licensing agreements were time limited. The media companies caught up and built their own streaming platforms and now Netflix is at the receiving end of disintermediation.
