OpenAI is currently valued at $300 billion, and their product is largely based on copying the copyrighted works of others, who weren't paid by OpenAI. It's a bit (exponentially) different from a "me and you" example.
It isn't that they weren't authenticating the items, it's that they weren't authenticating previous ownership. A lot of the items were stolen, as you can imagine there was a bit of wildness in the Middle East at the time (after the US overthrew Saddam Hussein). Which leads to the big shoe to drop. The people they were buying from and essentially funding is the group who became ISIS.
I like to think that today's clickbait data pools are perfect for translating ancient texts. The software will see modern headlines like "Politician roasts the opposition for spending cuts" and come up with translations like "Emperor A roasted his enemies" and it will still be correct.
The first couple of years I found Honeycrisp at my local market, which would have been 2001 and 2002 (because I'll never forget a lot of things from September 2001), the apples were HUGE. More like a large grapefruit than an apple in size. They still had the great flavor and texture of later Honeycrisps, it was a huge shock compared to normal apples at the time. It may have been something with the weather that produced them like that, but man would I love to see those things pop up again.
I'm guessing that they're referring to the practice of investors borrowing with low interest rates to buy large amounts of stock in a company, then milking the company of all its value for short term gains. Unless there's a significant plan in place, many companies can't really get away with long term playbooks if they are responsible to shareholders using ownership for short term gains (so they can quickly move to the next money making asset).
Alphabets have symbols that represent sounds which are strung together to make words. Other types of writing might include symbols that represent words or phrases, with an example being like Egyptian hieroglyphs or Chinese characters.
The air purifier review site Housefresh dug into why sites like theirs were seeing less traffic back in the spring, and it amounts to a handful of companies buying up popular magazine/blog brands and using them as affiliate farms that cross-post to sites within their networks of brands to boost visibility:
I was recently reading Washington Irving's first book, from 1809, where he mentioned Darwin arguing that humans are descended from monkeys, and I thought "that seems a little early." Turns out he was talking about Charles Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus, who laid some of the groundwork for Charles, and he was famous for writing romantic poems about scientific subjects like reproduction of flowers to help encourage more people to get involved with science.
> There has been a point in my life where I ended every day in the dark, staring at a wall for an hour or two straight, trying to figure out why everything felt awful.
From his post about burnout and mental health. Also worth a read.
I liked the absurdity of one of the top comments on the Verge article, which was that under the requirements of this ruling, Apple could open up an app store for Android and Google would be forced to put it on their Play Store.
It seems like this could ultimately fall under the category of financial fraud, since the allegations are that he may have favorably misrepresented the results of drug trials where he was credited as an inventor of the drug that's now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
I don't know how difficult it would be to detect these in customs, but I'm thinking more of an organization posing as a fly by night Amazon/Aliexpress/Temu seller who wants to cause some chaos in a country.
Apple AI selfie drone with a monthly contract for your own livestream channel to stream everything you do, with Siri as the AI stream moderator, and an asset/app store to upgrade different parts of your streams. Maybe even 30% cut of the donations from stream fans.
If there's an Apple exec reading this, you can pay me for this idea before committing billions to develop and subsequently cancel it when everybody realizes it's dumb.
The Citroen Oli (corrugated cardboard honeycombs with fiberglass) and Honda Sustaina C (acrylic resin) concepts are the two most interesting I've seen with small vehicles making a use of new lighter materials. I don't think either has been marked for production yet, and if you're in North America like me, we probably won't ever see them if they do get made.
There are also some cool animations out there that show the drifting, smashing, and more drifting of the plates. I like ones like these that provide some modern landmarks, or showing it in reverse, so you can track individual places through it all:
"Your baby is crying because you often raise your voice and make unreasonable demands of those around you. Would you like to add insurance for a lifetime of psychiatric help to your cart?"
The brothers did the act while in the US, so they're still under the jurisdiction of the US legal system. You can agree by contract to have contractual disputes handled under a certain jurisdiction, arbitration, or within the contractual agreement that defines all rights in a dispute, but you can't just will yourself out of criminal legal culpability by saying that no laws apply to you, even if the victim also were to say no laws should apply. Think about it from another practical perspective: if immunity from laws could be granted by the victim of a crime, imagine the pressure criminals would put on victims to state that they consented to the crime.
