That is what the Canadian law said. This was "if Meta is showing news content". Contrary to the law's assumption, news is worth hardly anything to Meta, so they just stopped showing it. Does the Australian law really say: 1.

We also haven't solve carbon waste, and carbon waste seems like a dramatically larger problem than nuclear waste. Not considering this tradeoff has led to much carbon waste.

Not in every country, and secondly if you're basing it on life of the author then that does't solve corporate copyright unless you tie it to the live of a particular employee. You could do "life of author or X years, whicheve

Has there been any update on the pay per crawl program?

Agree on all points. The trouble is if some countries stop the price goes up and there's an incentive to find more oil in countries which didn't stop. Markets are powerful. No real solution other than making market competitive alt

That's a rather misleading statistic. Some is absorbed by oceans, where it acidifies. For land based carbon sinks (trees, soil, etc) any new carbon being deposited is competing with existing carbon in the carbon cycle. If your stat had

Global co2 emissions are at an all time high. Co2 parts per million are a stock, like the level of water in a bathtub. Annual emissions are a flow, like how strongly the water is flowing in. The tub is fuller than ever before AND filling at

The physical act of smoking itself is harmful. Not just tobacco specifically, burning and inhaling anything.

In the UK it's commonly said, and the Guardian is a UK paper. Though you've noticed a real thing: for some reason during and after the pandemic publications outside of the UK started saying it too and I don't know why.

Yes that's correct, thank you, I see my comment implied otherwise. There had also been Iranian strikes on desalination plants and near the end strikes on Saudi Arabia's red sea assets. I believe these were very convincing.

>The US didn’t stop its offensive because of Iranian weapons. I would say they did. Gulf countries ran out of missile and drone defenses and a lot of infrastructure was getting hit. Long run loss of capacity here would be worse than temp

I'm fairly sure my old ipad did, maybe the ipad air 2. My current ipad pro doesn't seem to work this way. I could be mistaken, perhaps I used or charged it more.

>Is it only the dose? I think they meant, for humans, the dose makes the poison. We would have to eat a very large amount of warfarin to have trouble. Rats get hurt from a small amount. Poison is dose dependent, but the actual dose depen

Sure but then what is the point of such a statement other than vibes? You're withdrawing from all argument of the underlying claim.

This isn't true at all. If all of the global rich immediately became carbonless monks....we would cut only a portion of emissions. And continuing to emit increases global warming. Even if you estimate that the top 1% use 70% of our car

>The crazy thing is that we have basically everything we need right now. Have you travelled? This doesn't describe most of the world. Most of the world would need to increase carbon emissions to live the way you're describing.

This then that makes the argument very hard to respond to. "No I didn't mean this [virtuous example]. I meant the vast majority of [unnamed nefarious actors] which I don't need to elaborate about as their existence is obvious

I teach the LSAT and one of the passages is famously about this mania and contends that it was actually rational. You paid a high price for a tulip bulb, planted it, and then sold the descendants which paid off the original price. The narra

It's not clear to me from this announcement. The articles make it sound like all searches now go to ai mode and no more blue links. But Google's description seems more minimal, like easier to get to ai mode, search box can expand

I am confident that if a gold mine existed, and their wholesale purchaser went bankrupt, someone else would buy the gold.

That doesn't change the fact that there isn't enough demand for canned peaches. If there were enough demand for peaches the farmers would sell the peaches, rather than destroy the peach trees.

It doesn't generate power by burning carbon and is a grid replacement for carbon sources. Grid cost rise sharply on 100% solar. Taking china as an example they currently build solar, coal and nuclear. No country is building only solar&

You're arguing that the action had some positive effects and therefore it was ROI positive. That doesn't remotely follow. And most companies did NOT make the choice to be as accessible as Apple, which rebuts your theory that this

Texas zoning isn't nearly as permissive as Japan's. Setbacks are a big added requirement. Minimum parking requirements too though that is changing. But it would not be legal to build japanese neighbourhoods in Texas.
