Why? The board is reset after every game. No one was confused, Kasparov was just being a sore loser.

They were fined for their illegal downloading. More than a credit card limit.

Even with the battery charge limit the device will charge to 100% every so often. To claim that this “didn't seem to do anything” is just Apple Derangement Syndrome. The algorithms were engineered to know more than you about battery chemistry.

I don’t think it’s the individual with a single account that precipitated this change, it’s the users with many, many 20x accounts. Anthropic is less clear on their limits, but they have never given bonus usage, so again OpenAI is the late follower (as with adding a 5x plan).

You pay by the month, and they can change next month’s rules.

Or English.

Do private companies not have these “forced retirement obligations “ because they don’t offer fixed benefit pensions?

It’s 15.3% counting both sides, and capped. And it’s the only “tax” that is paid back, at progressive rates, because it’s a retirement annuity not an income tax.

Then treat college debt like any other loan instead of subsidies backstopped with government bailouts.

Circular reasoning. The current war is only because Iran was building a “functional nuclear weapon”.

What is the game? Who has been losing from buying broad-market index funds? Even if the market falls from recent highs all but the most recent investors will be ahead.

Same experience with the recent quota change on Google AI Pro. People have asked for yearly plans but given the vague and ever shifting limits it would be crazy to commit long-term.

Why wouldn’t your weekly usage “tick up”? And it’s only the additional five-hour usage that doesn’t count against the weekly quota, it’s not that off-peak usage only counts half.

The MIT License exists because in the US you cannot make a work public domain. AI works being public domain is effectively equivalent.

> that’s supposed to be the job of the government by creating policy, regulations and installing watchdogs to monitor things

But that government cannot trust the other government on the other side of the world to implement the same restrictions, so we find ourselves in this Nash equilibrium.

“the freedom to consume the service I am paying for however I see fit” sure sounds like complete freedom.

Gemini flash tells me to drive: “Unless you have a very long hose or you've invented a way to teleport the dirt off the chassis, you should probably drive. Taking the car ensures it actually gets cleaned, and you won't have to carry heavy buckets of soapy water back and forth across the street.”

If by “learned” you mean Ukraine and soon Taiwan, then yes.

Or the wealthy are pulling up the average and most of the rest are not “growing the economy” with increased productivity.

The iPhone 16 was released 16 months ago, not “nearly” 24 months.

> My optimism is at best minimized because very few countries that were "liberated" are thriving vs most that remain in chaos or deadlocked into stagnation.

Which countries that are thriving do you think were not “liberated”? The US has done well, and King George III did not depart willingly.

Britain distinctly claims part ownership of a foreign county, which had complicated trade with said country and its trade union.

And a lot more expensive per book than buying, digitizing, and destroying the physical copy. Which was ruled legal.

South Korea. And Eastern Europe in the 80s.

You are asking to severely damage the economy of the country providing your defense umbrella, when your continent is mired in a 3+ year land war.

You would just … leave them?

The question under consideration is whether we should be compelled under threat of violence to fund this speech.

> So it's just a lot of hot air, simply because it is not the government that is restricting our right to compute. But the device makers, and software developers.

No, it is only the government which can restrict these rights through violence and the threat of violence. Sony cannot restrict you from buying an Xbox or Nintendo.

> They had no problem carving out an exception to the filibuster rule when pushing through district court judges and later Supreme Court justices without Democrat support

Democrats removed the filibuster on district and appellate court judges.

> embrace and profit massively off of next gen energy infrastructure

Our children’s generation will never forgive us for abandoning nuclear energy abundance. Truly a crime against humanity.
