Are you just arguing that corporations should not be able to own copyrights but it is OK for them to own other things such as land and equipment, or are you arguing that corporations should not be allowed to own anything?

Does that take into account that much of the other 97% of the nation output depends on workers that need the product of that 3% in order to work efficiently?

It should be a representation on some dimensions of the people that elect them, but on others it generally should not.

For example a country with multiple significant ethnic groups should probably have a parliament with a similar ethnic split. A country with a significant rural population and a significant urban population should probably have a similar split in parliament.

Within those groups people are going to vote for their best people for the job. That's generally going to be from among the smarter and/or more educated in their group.

That results in a parliament that is not representative along those dimensions.

The article includes "she might spend 10 or 15 minutes blocking it, moving as it does, to delay it on its journey".

That sounds like the robot tried to yield and she purposefully moved to counter that.

That would likely support a charge for obstructing traffic or disorderly conduct or something similar.

> They’ve done polls on this and it comes up to cities want permanent summer time, and farming communities don’t.

...and then when they actually try most of the people who said they wanted it find out that they don't actually want it.

That comment makes no sense.

They do have the highest rate of Ponzi schemes, which is a problem and they have been putting in effort to fight that.

The factors that make Ponzi schemes easier in Utah would also likely make illegal online gambling more harmful than in other states so it makes sense for them to want to nip that in the bud.

Well that's annoying. I was literally planning later today to go through the list of active stories I'm following at Fanfiction.net, see which ones are also posted on AO3, and switch to reading those on AO3 because FFN is falling apart.

As someone who is just a reader the main annoyance at FFN is that when a story gets a new chapter it is often hard to get it to actually show the chapter. Sometimes you can only get it if you try to go directly to it, sometime you can only get it if you go to it from the previous chapter. Sometimes you can't get it at all.

Also sometimes if you try to reread the next-to-last chapter to remind yourself of context before reading the new chapter it say the next-to-last chapter was not found. As with the last chapter sometimes you can get it if you approach from the right direction.

Sometimes it is even the last several chapters that get temporarily lost this way.

So far this eventually has cleared up on a given story but sometimes it takes weeks.

From what I've seen authors mention there are also several issues with its support for authors making them as frustrated and annoyed as us pure readers.

Recently I've also noticed even the browsing story categories is falling apart. E.g., go there and from the "Browse" menu pick books. On the books page pick "Harry Potter". Then when it lists the HP stories click the "Crossovers" link to see the HP crossovers. That gives an error, and has done so for quite a while.

How is it "clear the fault is not the vehicle"?

I've got one. It can be a bit annoying because I have a Samsung TV in the same room, and turning the TV off with its remote sometimes also turns the monitor off.

> [...] for a few publicly funded PDFs is a bit drastic.

It was 4.8 million PDFs, which I think is a bit more than "a few".

They no longer say anything like that, which supports my point.

The argument that the fossil fuel industry historically being a major source of their funding is why they currently oppose renewables is weak because that has been a major continuing source of their funding for many decades.

Hence to explain why the renewable support in the 2008 party platform went away we need to look for an explanation other than simply the fossil fuel industry wanted it.

It still may be due to the fossil fuel industry, but to make that argument one needs to explain why they didn't have enough power before to stop it from going into the platform in 2008 but they did have enough later to get rid of it.

I emailed the moderators about your comment being dead, after vouching failed to bring it back. They said it looks like it was a false positive hit in a spam filter and they have taken steps so it should not hit you with any more false positives.

As far as secure boot and attestation goes, my understanding is that these are based on signatures.

Things like signing keys have generally not been considered to be source code under GPL. Such things before GPLv3 were completely out of scope.

In GPLv3 they were brought into scope, but not by changing the way they define source code. Instead they added a new category, "Installation Information", for "any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work [...]".

Section 6 of GPLv3, which is where the part your quote comes from, under some circumstances requires that you must accompany the conveyed Corresponding Source must be accompanied by the Installation Information.

The circumstances where this is required are pretty narrow. Before we get to that we need one more term that was added for GPLv3: "User Product".

>> A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.

Installation Information must be included when two things are true:

1. The object code conveyance is in, with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and

2. The conveying is part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient.

In short, under GPLv3, if you want use GPLv3 code in the software or firmware you include out of the box on hardware you are distributing you need to include Installation Information.

As far as I know GrapheneOS is only distributed as a third party download you can install on a device you already own, so does not trigger the GPLv3 Installation Information requirement.

How does the existence of LLMs disprove that theory?
