Did you know that Pepsi briefly owned 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer?

Edit: On less of a technicality, the East India Company had something like 250k troops back in 1824.

The word "potentially" is doing a lot of work there.

In many cases of piracy, the result of not pirating the work would not have been more income for the rights holder, it would have been the person just not acquiring a copy of the work at all.

Yeah, I don't know what Colorado's laws are on this in general, but even if it's technically legal it seems like a huge risk that someone is going to plausibly allege that given the specific facts denying them time off was race/religion/family status/... discrimination. It might be legal (don't know), but it's a stupid policy for a number of reasons.

@deegeese There is a rather large difference between "not pushing things on them unprompted" and "disallowing them from having things they're asking for". 1 year olds in particular aren't asking for any specific kinds of toys.

There is also a rather large difference between advocating for changing something as a society, and doing something just to your own kids that will make them different from other kids.

The entire paper is already sub-field (AI) in industry (software engineering) specific. No stats are perfect, but I think these ones are pretty damn good for something where peoples role are pretty poorly determined in the first place. Of course you're welcome to try and find better ones.

The "pure tech" companies I've worked at have been roughly equivalent or better than these stats, but at that point I'm sampling from software engineers in general (not having worked at an AI specific company), and my sample is unlikely to be unbiased anyways.

Isn't the fact that he's repulsive sort of the whole complaint?

Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad... here are some stats

We should really amend the law to be "and if they incorrectly deny a claim they have to pay 10 times more". Enough to make it cost more than it's worth if they do it intentionally, not enough to bankrupt them...

@Yazer The immediate "puzzle" that inspired this complaint was "Conundrum Unsolved" from Pathfinder Wrath of The Righteous

It looks like this article is using @ZLabe 's charts, he posts regularly about this on mastodon, if you're using the "follow" feature on here (or on a mastodon account) at all I definitely recommend following him.

Satellites go beyond the moon, but not starlink satellites (or any future competing large mesh network of satellites), they are in in low orbit to minimize latency. I haven't double checked with math or anything but I don't think they should be high enough to be in sight of much more of the moon than the earth is.
