There is more to taking a photo, yes, but not to claiming a copyright, at least not in the US.

"Generally, the author and initial copyright owner of a photograph is the person who 'shoots' or 'takes' the photo."

Let's say a photographer sets up his camera, aims it, composes it, focuses it, etc. But he decides the light isn't quite right yet, so he goes for lunch. While he is away, his assistant clicks the shutter on a whim, capturing more or less the exact image what the photographer intended to capture. The resulting photograph's copyright belongs to the assistant, not the photographer.

This is in theory, of course. In practice, this would be difficult to prove, since the picture is likely to be on a roll of many other pictures for which the photographer does own the copyright. The assistant would need some definitive evidence that they clicked the shutter on that exact frame if they wanted credit for their work.

Moreover, why doesn't the concept of an easement apply to these corners?

Rage, rage against the dying of the light!

I'm not saying I disagree with the idea of mandatory voting, per se. But in the U.S., a fine for not voting would quickly be labeled a "poll tax", which would immediately raise the connotation of being racist in nature. In a day or two, the whole idea would be scrapped on grounds of unfairly targeting minorities and the lawmaker who suggested it would be accused of secretly being affiliated with the KKK.

I'm not saying it's right, but it is what would happen.

The party that spent 20 years complaining about the billions we spent on military support to prop up corrupt but US-friendly regimes now claims that not spending billions to prop up a corrupt but US-friendly regime is evidence of collaboration with the enemy.

>True, but none of those names are owned by a corporation as trademarks. If there was a store that with white/minimalist decor that sold similarly designed cell phones, laptops, and tablets and had a name and logo referencing a fruit, what you have to ask yourself is if Apple would care.

Apparently they did not, because GTA V references "iFruit phones" with not just the in-game phones but also branded merchandise for the characters, an Internet radio station, and even a separate downloadable iFruit app for your real world smartphone.

You're a perfect example of what jerf is talking about. "I'll get the dog and you get the kids and we'll meet at Aunt Sue's place" is "an emergency plan." Stockpiling 3 months of rations is more prepping than 90% of Americans are likely to have ever done. But because of the stigma of "crazy preppers", you don't want to call it prepping.

That stigma is a problem. People need to be prepared for both short-term emergencies and long-term disasters, and they need to stop being made to feel that doing so makes them social outcasts.

This is something I see all the time, asking for delivery on large items like furniture. If you're getting a $100+ item for free, it shouldn't be too much to ask that you do the legwork to arrange transportation.

This is crazy, I know, but if you're not sure about objective facts like "when the polls are open" or "who is running for each position", the best course of action would be to consult your local elections board. If you're in the US, your local elections board almost certainly has a .gov website and multiple channels by which you can obtain this information, and it will be much more trustworthy than rather than random people on Twitter (or Facebook, or TikTok, or literally any social media channel, for that matter).

Or, to put it another way: don't depend on a single channel for the majority of your information, regardless of what that channel is. If you get your information from a variety of unrelated channels, then one channel being compromised becomes much less of an issue.

Joke's on y'all, following the link from the hackernews blog on Tumblr is how I get to this site every day.

The CEO of the start up where I used to work had the following advice for co-founders: "If you want to work with friends, make sure they're the kind of friends that you aren't afraid to say 'go to Hell' to once in a while."

This is a "go to Hell" moment.

Inviting new people into your friend group is as much a learned social skill as "putting yourself out there" is. I don't mean this too harshly - you were just kids, after all - but I would posit that the fact that your friend group never bothered to learn their names says a bit more about your friend group's socialization skills than it does about the homeschooling kids'.

Is there any way to set current location and destination? I very much like the radio interface, though I only seem to be able to get two stations. I'd like to explore the radio stations available in different metro areas.

If your issue is that you find the title racist, then your issue is with the Saudi Arabian government, not Ms. Smaker. The filmmaker accurately named her documentary after the subject of the film, which was a Saudi government program. If you read the article instead of immediately having a knee-jerk reaction to perceived "wrongspeak", you could easily have ascertained that information.

It looks like they only updated one character model in the intro animation. Roy is still very much Chris O'Dowd. :-)

That quip doesn't necessarily mean your direct manager, though. If the company doesn't support employee growth, or is ethically dodgy, those are management decisions.

Anecdotal, but I've definitely had a situation where my team and direct manager were fantastic for two years until the director (my manager's manager) got replaced. The new direcror had a big meeting with all the managers re: "things are going to change around here!" Within a week, there was a palpable change in the office atmosphere and everything started going downhill as the managers were forced to implement policies that I know for a fact they had fought against. It wasn't my manager that was bad; but he was put in a bad position by his own management who clearly had no interest in hearing from the plebs. So yeah ... I did leave because of a bad manager; it just wasn't my direct manager.

Education and job training are not the same thing. Education in a field is general knowledge needed to perform in the field regardless of employer. Job training is learning the specific knowledge needed to perform a specific position for a specific employer, including their SOPs, policies, etc.

Volusia County!

I came here to say "only Philadelphia hockey fans need apply" ... haha!

Every single day I see "reputable" news sites put out headlines like "Twitter outrage over [X]" and I think this is why journalism is dying. The "man on the street" piece has a time-honored place in journalism, but previous generations understood that the opinions of random strangers are not, in and of themselves, NEWS. They were fluff pieces and human interest bits, not headlines. They constitute opinion at best, and usually closer to gossip most of the time. I don't blame Twitter itself, per se. But it is easier for journalists to find opinions than to find facts, and that has certainly led to a degradation in quality of news stories and a near total loss of understanding of what constitutes bias in journalism.

And for the kind of jobs we're talking about (outside of maybe start-ups that haven't got benefits figured out quite yet), the commercial insurance offered by employers tends to be quite good. As a personal anecdote, my wife has a union job and I do not. She switched to my healthcare insurance because the benefits were better than what the union offered. (In a pure analysis, my job is technically less secure, but realistically I am in no danger of losing it. When correctly managed, increased risks yield increased rewards.)

These are definitely being done, but in many cases, the well-done ones cost more than a trailer home. Look up some of the van life channels on You Tube; most of them have early videos detailing the cost outlays required. It's a lot easier to get a loan of $90k for something that technically qualifies as a home vs. a loan of $150k+ for what the bank considers a recreational vehicle.

ResusciAnnie has been the gold standard CPR mannequin since at least the early 90s when I first learned CPR at my local fire station. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a CPR mannequin that wasn't based on Annie.

> Why did people have bandwidth instead of time?

Because "bandwidth" isn't about having time to deal with an issue. It's about the mental capacity and effort necessary to process the issue. When you're working on complex multi-step issues, even if you have time between steps to handle another issue, you may not have the mental capacity to add that effort into what you're already doing without losing focus on the primary task. "Bandwidth" indicates the ability to recieve, process, and return information in a timely manner, not just the time itself.

Most Master Model Railroader awards are granted to people in their 50s and up. It takes time to master the many aspects of the hobby, and an MMR must show breadth of knowledge as well as depth. But because of the initial outlay cost (in time and money and space for a layout) of the hobby, the majority of "world class" modelers don't really get serious about it until they've settled into good-paying jobs and their kids are out of the house.

Because I haven't seen it mentioned and I think it is a very well-executed game: Pan-Am is quite fun and the event deck gives it a good deal of replayability.
