Oh, it definitely does. A copy does not need to be verbatim - derivative works, of which even an inaccurately memorized copy would certainly apply - to be infringing. Otherwise a re-encoded copy of a video - having been entirely changed through the encoding process - would be a new work. When I sing a song from memory, it's effectively reproducing the equivalent recorded copy from my brain. Of course, the performance is yet a new copy - and I can be sued if I were to change the lyrics or notes outside of the specific contract under which I perform (performance) or record (mechanical). Broadway show owners do this all the time (prohibit changes of words and characters, among other alterations) - and generally they win in court if challenged, shutting down shows and cancelling performance rights
Would not the act of memorization an infringing copy? Copyright itself does not allow a provision where a non-ephemeral copy may be stored, regardless of the medium or duration. You would, of course, have the positive defense of fair use - if you were sued for your infringing copy, you could mount a defense that the storage falls under the fair use provisions, but you would still be required to defend yourself at your own expense. Would it make a difference if we, one day, developed a method of reading memories. Someone with a photographic memory could then be used to recreate the work from their copy - clearly a violation, and hence the storage is a violation (excepting backup/fairuse - which is still an infringement, but a special case of permitted infringement)
does it mean it won’t ask all the others and just assume they want to?
You're close. It won't ask non EEA users, but it will require they do so, much like Apple requires that you either have or create an account to use there products. There is no want/do-not-want, only mandatory participation in information collection and their push marketing channel.
Write your name and address on a standard letter paper along with your request. Add to that a cashier's check for $4M and take it to the CEO of Verve Therapeutics, sign a few papers see some quacks doctors who will provide the necessary certifications, and I'll bet he can get you into the next trial phase.
My FIL is going through some medical issues and considered going mostly vegetarian to try and reverse the (irreversible) organ damage he was told he had. His plan was just fish, eggs and poultry, with red meat just once or twice a week.
No, you have to type the whole post out. Re-read it to bask in the insightfulness, and correct the usage errors and autocorrects. Then decide that you’ve said your peace, and don’t really want some numbnut responding with a poorly thought out, single sentence reply. Delete the text, knowing you had the chance to vent.
Then go find another post and do the same. At 5pm you can then close your browser, look at your desk, and wonder why you didn’t get any work done that day.
I love piracy like I love electricity - it makes my life easier, and I will extoll the virtues when asked. It doesn't rise to a core political belief for me, though.
Saw some tiktoks with local footage of ground displacement and reports of 120cm ground level changes. I drove through Grindavik just last a couple of weeks ago. I really hope this magma finds a gentle way to the surface, out and away from the city.
I only read to the break, but it sounds more like this is a case of someone WFH for multiple big tech companies to maximize income - someone who isn't interested in free time when they could be puling down multiple 6-figure jobs. There are several internet accounts of people working for MS and FB at the same time, pulling $200k+ from each.
The implication of a double dipper is that they're really only giving 1/2 effort to each job, which is a reasonable assumption for the average person. Most people aren't productive more than 30-35 hours a week, regardless of the number of hours they mold a chair in the shape of their ass. This seems to be a "hey, maybe the employee isn't the problem" take - that you're paying for production, and if the products targets are hit you're getting your money's worth. Now, if they're not getting hit, or the management doesn't have enough experience to know how much effort (in work-hours/work-years) are needed on a job, that's a different problem which isn't a function of the WFH laborer.
One reviewer mentioned disappointment that it's still a full 11.7" long and 2" thick. I realize that some people are not built for that kind of size, but I enjoy the heft and find the ergonomics of the original pleasing. I find that it stands out among smaller equipment and any substantial reduction would limit the versatility and, quite frankly, my overall enjoyment.
I still haven't figured out how the FDA decided that flavored nicotine in vapes was, in any way, a valid marketing concept. I get allowing it for cessation and limiting it to unflavored, but to intentionally put it in a product as a feature? (yes, I'm aware companies put caffeine in products, and I do drink those products - as an addictive substance, I'm okay with prohibiting it).
Low incidence, very low number of centers, striking change which reverses in two months: Operator (new staff) or recording error (new system for recording or identifying) would be the first two things you would need to rule out. Specific locality of residence of the mothers would be the next research. Cross-referencing of the OB/Gyn provider would be next (creepy, yes - but one doctor covering a population area this size would see far more than this number of patients over an 8 week period). Manmade environmental factors would probably be next (leak, spill?). Covid, while not a remote guess given the timing, is pretty far down the list of likely suspects imo.
It's not exclusively peer to peer, so there must be infrastructure, no?
