A lot of legal constructs are defined by intent, and intent is always something that is potentially hard to prove.

At most the obviousness should the burden of discovery on them, and if they have no records or witnesses that would demonstrate the intent, then they should be in the clear.

IMO having records that explicitly mention SJ or Her in any way would be suspicious.

IANAL

I think that reaches too far. Intent should be a defining part of impersonation. IANAL and I don't know what the law says.

surely not. How do you differentiate these two functions?

  void fooN(void);
  
  namespace N { void foo(void); }

How do you define a buffer overflow?

I don't doubt that general heat tolerance isn't real for the healthy part of the population. However the hottest days could hit elderly and unhealthy people especially hard (or even the healthy, if it's especially hot).

> Many people live without AC, and even those with it often won’t use it except for the hottest few days of the year.

That can still make a lot of difference.

I speculate, but there might also be a part where simply more people suffered from heat strokes in the past when extreme temperatures occurred. So part of the answer of "how did people live before ACs were invented?" is that some didn't.

It's only really about the intent of the voice to sound like the original. Reaching out to the originals first implies intent, so it makes the case easier.

It would be harder to find a case if they simply just hired someone that sounds similar, but if they did that with the intention to sound like the original that's still impersonation, only it's harder to prove.

If they just happened to hire someone that sounded like the original, then that's fair game IMO.

IANAL

Impersonating is defined by intent. "Just find someone who sounds like her" implies intent.

Nitpick: it's not copyright, it's personality rights and likeness. It's a violation of it nonetheless.

Love the data driven approach through graph clustering, instead of jumping into opinionated refactoring.

Right. But you also get a recent one if you just use the Mozilla PPA, without snap. Debian sid also ships 126, and I assume the fix should be backported to Firefox LTS, which is used by stable.

I don't see the relevance of snap here.

Yes, that's the philosophy around the declaration syntax.

The declaration of the pointer ip,

  int *ip;

is intended as a mnemonic; it says that the expression *ip is an int. The syntax of the declaration for a variable mimics the syntax of expressions in which the variable might appear. This reasoning applies to function declarations as well.

K&R C

  return '⊥'

what's this?

Well of course, I assume that's what my ISP is using.
