The cheapest way to heat your home this winter is to accrue so many cease and desist letters you can use them as fuel!

Cooperation wins in the end, so I'd guess as much

I prefer to read it this way: Nvidia Opens Hell

Unhelpful, I know

I'm sure I recall ebay listings of both aircraft carriers and oil tankers. I suppose the oil tanker sales aren't even prohibited.

Nice work. Have you seen GadgetBridge? https://gadgetbridge.org/

I've had a scanwatch from withings for a few years and I've toyed with the idea of adding it to gadgetbridge. I think it might be time. I sense this will be quite a fast project with AI

Nobody is talking about banning the sale of gas boilers. What is happening is that new builds will have to be built with heat pumps from (if memory serves) 2035. Please don't scaremonger.

Further, it is possible to run a heat pump at high temperatures: some use refrigerants specifically designed to do this relatively efficiently.

I feel like you might be my boss

I just said they didn't believe in ADHD, which in my case - their darling wilted hothoused angel - is true. Relying on a generation that stigmatises autism/ADHD for informant reporting is nuts anyway.

Remember when Facebook was a nice place to talk to your friends,and not an arm of the American state whipping up hatred, spreading misinformation, and interfering with elections?

To those who work there, I'd be fascinated to hear an explanation that isn't about dollars.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll pay their taxes to support us.. right?

Which will end hilariously, let's face it

> We don’t have to treat people reading books and companies stealing all human knowledge the same.

We don't. People engaging in piracy have their lives ruined, companies engaging in piracy pay a tiny fraction of their revenues out to authors who can't legally outgun them.

(Sorry, I just wanted to air the juxtaposition as clearly as possible, I sense we are actually in agreement)

Entirely technically feasible, and has been for years and years..

..but impossible to have unless you control the operating system that is distributed with phones that normal people will use.

Nuclear disarmament is governed by treaty, which is largely adhered to.

An AI treaty could quite easily be offered by the US because it has multiple frontier labs. Most countries would quite happily limit the activity of their larger companies in exchange for their companies not being eaten alive by AI generally. It is pretty great fodder for international cooperation, and governments can move fast when it is timely to do so.

I am baffled by the responses to this, not seeing that a similar strategy can be applied in a different field.

Is that actually true? A settlement only binds the relevant parties. If it had gone to court that's be different, but functionally this is a private agreement. My understanding of law is UK centric, though, so can anyone say why this would be the case? Is there something wildly different about the American system?

I'd argue that if we are burning plastics we get to dodge microplastics, and we get a second use of hydrocarbons. Burn enough plastic, maybe we can displace some gas. Optimistic, I realise.

Easy cases might be single use plastics outside of a medical environment and anything where there isn't a substitute with adequate properties (I'd ignore economics here and let the market solve)

Ultimately a tricky thing to define though, no argument.

Honestly at this point I think the way to go may be to stop using plastics where they're not absolutely required, and to subsequently burn what goes into landfill while producing electricity and reclaiming heat. Better that than this.

This happened to me with Starling Bank's app years ago. I have since conceded defeat. What is pernicious is how some of these services are unusable without an app, while also bossing the user around about what operating system they can use. Starling left me without any access to any of my bank accounts at the time (2022 or so) so now I use very old school online banking now to avoid this situation ever occurring again.

Somehow I suspect GDPR isn't engaged there as they forbid the creation of an account in the first place, so they don't store the data. Maybe I could create an account with a different email address and try it then.

I've got a .email domain which various UK based retailers insist isn't a real domain from which email can be sent. I've been trying to convince Argos that it is real for about seven years.

To their credit, my building society actually took it all on board and fixed their system within a few months. To my incredible surprise, so did a major insurer.

I strongly suspect this will be the future

Can you explain what you mean by a maintenance measure for your jaw shape? Is the idea.. a jaw workout?

Having had nothing but a laptop for years, I think more might be more, but let's agree to disagree :)

For a golden decade or so, piracy was less convenient than paying: Xbox had subscriptions offering on tap games, there was only really one streaming service to speak of that had high quality content, music came from Spotify or YouTube, etc.

We are back to where we are in the 2000s: the gatekeepers of large tracts of culture are behaving so badly that piracy is probably going to end it's lull. It is a shame for artists, developers, and anyone else who needs to get paid that companies running genuinely very good services have chosen to behave so badly.

Some cracks have emerged in that, at least in the UK. Trains, water companies, etc, all used as solid examples of private sector waste and extractiveness.

I don't think he thought that, he was probably expressing the view that he doesn't think the representative person's understanding of the term is the same as yours.

I have to confess, I've never heard anyone talk about money laundering in the way you suggest.
