The argument relies a lot on an analogy to photographers, which misunderstands the nature of photography. A photographer does not give their camera prompts and then evaluate the output.
A better analogy would be giving your camera to a passerby and asking them to take your photo, with prompts about what you want in the background, lighting, etc. No matter how detailed your instructions, you won't have a copyright on the photo.
This sort of thing has been common practice since long before Dobbs. And it is usually motivated by the doctor's fear of getting sued over birth defects, especially if there is an alternative prescription that is not known to be associated with birth defects. And there almost always is an alternative.
This story was described more accurately by The New Yorker. No, they did not do anything without her consent.
For three years after her operation, Leggett lived happily with her device. But in 2013 her neurologist gave her some bad news. NeuroVista had run out of funding and ceased operations. Leggett’s neural device would have to come out.
Leggett felt grateful that everyone involved was sympathetic to her plight. They let her keep the implant as long as possible. But the demise of NeuroVista—after spending seventy million dollars to develop the technology and conduct the trial, it struggled to find further investors—made removal inevitable. If the battery ran out, or a lead broke, or the site of implantation became infected, the company would no longer be there to provide support. She remembered a solemn drive to Melbourne for the surgery, and then coming back home without the device. It felt as if she had left a part of herself behind.
These days, when she gets a funny, flip-floppy feeling inside, she takes anti-seizure medication. She’s not always sure. Sometimes she gets her husband to weigh in. He says, “Go with your first instinct,” and usually she takes a pill. She is now seizure-free.
The article also suggests that other patients had problems with the device, which may have contributed to the failure of the clinical trial and recommendation for removal.
Democrats didn't vote to vacate because they like to watch chaos. They simply will not support McCarthy unless he offers something in return. Their vote is a bargaining chip and they aren't throwing it away.
It's not actually called "theft" or "stealing", it's called "infringement" or "violation". Infringement is to intellectual property as trespassing is to real estate. The owners are still able to use their property, but their rights to it have nevertheless been violated.
Also, corporations cannot create intellectual property. They can only offer to buy it from the natural persons who created it. Without IP protection, creators would lose the only protections they have against corporations and other entrenched interests.
Imagine seeing all your family photos plastered on a McDonald's billboard, or in political ad for a candidate you despise. Imagine being told, "Sorry, you can't stop them from using your photos however they want". That's a world without IP protection.
This trial is now scheduled to start on March 4, so the defense has about six months to prepare.
While you have your calendar open, the New York hush money trial is set for March 25 and the federal stolen documents trial is set for May 20. The Georgia election interference trial date is not yet set.
Like they said: Vendors, organizers, and everyone else that might've benefited from having international music acts in Malaysia.
And protests aren't about scoring points. They are about flexing muscle, about reminding everyone that inaction has consequences.
The US Patent and Trademark Office is generally reluctant to enforce single-letter trademarks, and some countries ban them outright.
You don't have a monopoly on reasonableness. Twelve jurors, not Redditors, agreed that the YouTuber was behaving aggressively, and violence is a common response to aggression.
And the YouTuber's entire shtick is to make people think they might be in danger, by not letting them back away. Because that's how fights commonly start. If he did the same routine ten feet away from his victims, the whole shtick would fail.
It doesn't take much for the WHO to classify something as a possible carcinogen.
Aspartame is now in the same risk category as cell phones, kimchee, and carpentry. And still considered less carcinogenic than meat, fried foods, hot beverages, and working a night shift.
We as just observers on the internet
George Orwell:
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Umami is the fifth flavor. This paper is about the sixth, which doesn't seem to have a name other than "ammonium chloride".
Voice actors have a union.
Designers and engineers generally don't. Yet.
I certainly do not understand what concept of fucking justice that is related to.
This concept of justice:
higher scores will be given to projects that are likely to retain collective bargaining agreements and/or those that have an existing high-quality, high-wage hourly production workforce, such as applicants that currently pay top quartile wages in their industry.
It is not normal to behave aggressively towards someone, get within range to hit them, and then repeatedly close in when the other person tries to backs away. It is not normal for cis people and it is not normal for trans people.
When someone does those things, it generally signals they intend to start a fight.
Nitrogen hypoxia is a risk wherever liquid nitrogen is used. If too much boils too fast, it will displace the oxygen in the room. People in the room won't even realize what happened until they pass out and die shortly thereafter.
There are reports of people rushing in to rescue those who passed out, and suddenly passing out themselves and needing to be rescued as well. That's how insidious it is. And that's why MRI scanners (which use liquid nitrogen) have oxygen sensors in the room. You can't trust your own body to tell you that all the oxygen is gone.
Those are just nicknames people use because the real names are long and boring.
"Fannie Mae" is actually the Federal National Mortgage Association (aka FNMA). "Freddie Mac" is actually the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
The good news is that "x com" can be trademarked.
The bad news is that "x com" is already trademarked.
Venezuela has been selling oil in euro and yuan since 2018.
Imagine a coffee shop ad with a beautiful example of latte art, but when you get your latte you are horrified to find just plain foam. Unless the ad specifically mentioned latte art, I doubt you'd have grounds for a lawsuit.
As for your example, I'm finding it hard to imagine buying a car before getting inside it. A few dealers offer a pre-order option, but you can always back out of the sale once you see the car.
Most of what you perceive as "taste" is just using your sense of smell on food within the mouth, where it is very close to smell receptors.
To isolate taste informally, pinch your nose, stick your tongue out, and put food directly on the tongue when it's outside your mouth. You'll find that by itself your tongue can't distinguish many flavors, that's why everything tastes terrible when you have Covid or a bad cold.
It's not piracy when the ship literally sailed to Texas and delivered the oil as part of a plea bargain deal.
The US Navy was not involved.
For those using the metric system, that's 97930 gigabananas.
Lenders are not as stupid as you think. 75% of Twitter's purchase price was paid by Musk himself or loans secured against his Tesla stock. None of that will be "written off".
They can put urinals in a unisex restroom.
In fact, there are all sorts of things in public restrooms that are unused. For example, the last restroom you visited had a sink where you could have washed your hands.
indoctrinate from the Latin docēre, "to teach"
(Other offspring of docēre include doctor, document, and, of course, doctrine)
But Franco got a pass. Probably because he didn't invade his neighbors and committed his atrocities at home like a good little fascist.
Yes, it's trademarked for use in video games.
And by another company for use in sporting equipment.
And by another company for fiber optics.
And by another company, as follows...
Telecommunications services, namely, transmission of voice, data, graphics, images, audio, and video via the internet
Yeah, maybe should've stuck with "Twitter"
Not exactly. It's on the record that Giuliani failed to follow courtroom procedures and automatically lost the case.
It was not necessary to determine whether anyone was involved in election rigging.
Nitrogen can cause a "high" (aka nitrogen narcosis), but this effect only occurs at high pressures. So it is only a practical concern for divers, because they have to breathe high pressure air. Some divers replace the nitrogen in their tanks with other gases to avoid it.
It is unrelated to asphyxiation, and can occur even when the lungs are properly exchanging oxygen and CO2. It is a poorly understood direct interaction between high pressure nitrogen and the brain that does not occur at atmospheric pressure.
He's not ambassador to China. An ambassadorship to Japan is relatively low pressure, mostly revolving around organizing and attending social events.
American embassies are usually underfunded and ambassadors often have to pay for social events out-of-pocket, which is one reason why the job often goes to wealthy people.
I'm not sure it was a bit.
He wasn't investigating her. If you are an undercover agent and meet someone new - off duty and unrelated to work - are you allowed to tell them your real name?
If not, if a single person is forced to choose between no intimate relationships and relationships only under a pseudonym, then the latter is the predictable choice.
They are exercising their right to sail through international waters.
They had to get rid of the public option to get enough Democratic support to pass.
It was not a party line vote, 34 Democrats joined all the Republicans in voting No. It squeaked through the House, 219-212.
So he fell out of a window created by a surface to air missile.
Or maybe it proves that society has deemed intentionally menacing bystanders, particularly for money, to be completely unacceptable.
You don't need a license to learn from a story, but if learning requires you first to make an enduring copy of the story on your laptop then you could be violating copyright.
And neural nets generally require a local enduring copy of their training data, which means they too could be violating copyright.
She was advised to remove it.
I think "forced" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. People use it to refer to unpleasant decisions, like "I was forced to leave New York City after I lost my job".
Good behavior is generally used to justify lifetime tenure as a judge, unless impeached.
However, the Constitution does not guarantee lifetime tenure on the SCOTUS itself. Nothing prevents Congress from requiring a Justice to transfer to a lower court after, say, 18 years on the SCOTUS.
If you don't want to inconvenience anyone, then it's not a protest.
