EDIT: I was wrong. The minimum seems to have been 7 or 8.

Why are the exactly ten, the minimum number required to advance the vote?

Scotland, UK, which is not in the EU.

So, soo close to supporting vaccines.

Just fyi, there isnt just one liquor monopoly. Not sure about other provinces, but BC has BC Liquor and Quebec has SAQ. I guess LCBO is Ontario’s.

I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed “redundancies” in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.

Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time

Just replaced every instance of the word “war” with “deal”

The connection also looks like a RAM stick’s. I think.

While too far left could mean this, the op just said “slightly left”. Of course, if what you meant is that Bernie Sanders is barely left enough, that anyone to the right of him is the problem, then nvm.

This is irrelevant because Meta should not be tried for this the same as a private individual would be.

The case for torrenting being illegal for private individuals is one or both of:

1. Downloading in of itself is stealing.
2. Uploading is giving unauthorized access to someone else who otherwise might have had a harder time finding it. Anything else, such as watching, reading, listening, learning, etc. is not illegal (or does not make sense to make illegal). The exception might be publishing. This is rare for private individuals (e.g. using pirated FL studio to make a commercial song).

For corporations, a lot change. Firstly, a corporation downloading a torrent is necessarily making unauthorized material available for some people of the company. It’s like a group of 20 friends all downloaded and uploaded to each other. Secondly, they used this copyrighted material commercially (like playing pirated music in a public night club). Both should be illegal.

However, all of this is still a distraction. The real issue is using copyrighted materials to train commercial AI. Does Meta require permission from copyright holders to make AI based on their work? The law is grey on this, and desperately needs regulations.

Just my thoughts.

Youre both saying the same thing!

“A russian VPN is blocked” is what you showed. From that, we can infer that probably all Russian ip’s are blocked.

I am definitely interested.

What is? What do you mean?

Here’s a nerdy math way.

Assume that some numbers are not interesting. Let n be the smallest non-interesting number. Since n is the smallest number that’s not interesting, it is interesting.

I heard that it is the defenseless arctic that is Canada’s weakpoint, due to ice melting.

Except for 0, 1, 2, 3.

Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.

Just thinking out loud here.

I disagree with being able to opt out of being quoted, but I agree that one should be able to opt out of having their account visible in the the Quote Post. Or maybe I am misunderstanding what a Quote Post is supposed to be? I am thinking of it as a way to share someone else’s post, but also verifying the the quote wasnt just made up.

I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.

Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)

Isnt a sales tax and VAT literally the same thing? Both sales taxes and European VAT are examples of VAT. (I hope theres no differences im missing).

More importantly, VAT usually applies to all products, regardless of origin. And its not that big of a leap now, from calling VAT a tarrif, to call any form of taxes tariffs (incl. income tax).

Not a lawyer.

From the argument, it seems that the violation of the conditions in itself is not trespassing. Trespassing is staying after the conditions were violated. Since the person was promptly removed, it is very hard to argue that they trespassed.
