* Millions of people who wouldn’t or couldn’t have bought Photoshop still edited photos. Adobe lost nothing.

I’m sure he thinks our reaction to his friendship with Epstein is histrionic as well.

Looking forward to hearing how the flag-botherers all turned out to march in protest at this.

Except love their daughter unconditionally.

If a human copies someone else’s art, that is copyright infringement. You say that AI works exactly the same way. Somehow you think that people should not be angry when AI is used to copy their work. If I ask you what is 2+2, will you tell me 5?

This is the man we just gave all the NHS data to.

I didn’t realize that lifejackets were prone to spontaneous combustion.

Why even discuss it? Putin broke the 1994 agreement and he declared that the Minsk agreements no longer existed in 2022, just prior to invading again.

Since they speak multiple languages, they probably spend quite a lot of time thinking about the subtle differences in meaning between words, so the precise meaning of the word “polyglot” no doubt matters quite a lot to them.

I cannot see how they could comply with both that and the GDPR, so the UK is asking Apple to choose between operating in the UK and operating in the 27 countries of the EU. Tough call.

I don’t think that the safe harbour provision should apply when the person posting is the owner of the company.

I wasn’t suggesting that they do. I was commenting on the fact that they don’t even have the decency to pretend.

Of course. It’s just that they haven’t even come up with a plausible excuse.

it’s standard for providers to bill for two colonoscopies if they remove two or more polyps in different ways.

Billing for 2 procedures instead of 1 could conceivably explain why the bill was twice as high as the estimate. It could not possibly explain why the bill was three times as high as the estimate.

In the medieval period, there was the common idea that if something is too perfect, it must have been made by the Devil. To forestall accusations of having done a deal with the Devil, craftsmen would often deliberately introduce flaws in their design.

That’s why there are always gaps in my dovetails.
