Drugs are patented, not copyrighted, and handled by the US Patent Office. This is a decision by the US Copyright Office.
Not the same thing, and I would not be surprised if the Patent Office decides drugs designed in part with AI tools can still be patented, while the Copyright Office decides art cannot be copyrighted.
Best way to sell a browser and software services built on privacy is to do a lot of consumer reports emphasizing the value of privacy.
Yeah, I just assume the Ohio SC assumed if they drew their own maps they would be immediately challenged and have it go to Federal, and didn’t want to risk their decision being overturned or something.
Either way, as a Michigander, I’m actually rooting for you guys. Our newly created commission made maps for last election and it was nice that the votes actually mattered this time.
Draw a single unconditional map, you lose the right to draw it and it goes to an independent group who’ll do it properly.
Needs to be enforced by an independent party, and as we saw in Ohio, the GOP will just go, “Nah, we think we’ll keep it.”
Yeah, state GOPs are figuring out that if they just ignore their state supreme courts, the two outcomes are: the opposition appeals to the federal Supreme Court with the same, or worse, outcome, or… nothing.
The states that can are at least addressing gerrymandering through ballot initiatives and state constitutional amendments. Ohio is on track for this. Ohioans shot down the attempts at undermining their ballot initiative process, and are now attempting to get a citizen redistricting commission on the 2024 ballot. We’ll see how it goes.
Yeah, that will be the cop’s defense, she was attempting to assault the cop with a deadly weapon.
Still fucking shitty though. If they really wanted to stop her from leaving, just park the police cruiser in front of her car. Or let her leave and get her tags. They had options. Maybe her family will sue since the cop stepped in front of the car.
Typically they aim for the heart. Not exactly an immediate or painless death.
I’d rather have the nitrogen.
Unless you’ve got a source I’m not familiar with, the only time anyone opened fire on the protestors was in the hall where Ashley Babbitt died, and that was confirmed to be Capital Police.
He’s sentenced to death because he committed a capital murder in a state with the death penalty and a jury found him guilty. “I did it for money” is not exactly a legal defense. An innocent person was still killed, and arguably doing it for money is worse. Fuck him.
The other guy involved in the killing has already been executed, over ten years ago. It’s a well documented case and took me about a minute of Googling to figure out this guy isn’t particularly being singled out for death and the other got a lighter sentence.
I personally don’t believe in the death penalty, but also if he didn’t want to be executed for murder, he shouldn’t have committed murder in the deep south.
Sure, but as long as they have the death penalty, it’s probably best they do it as humanely as possible.
Some states are bringing back firing squads, which definitely feels like a huge step back. If they’re going to kill someone, using an actual painless option instead of lethal injection or shooting them seems like as much of a step forward as we can get up to actually not executing people.
Because he accepted money in exchange to brutally beat and stabbed a person to death. “Just following orders,” has never been an acceptable excuse for an individual to commit a crime, but especially when it’s not an order in a military hierarchy, it’s payment and a voluntary agreement. Fuck him.
Sennet Sr. committed suicide the moment the police started to investigate him. That’s why he’s not about to be executed.
Why are they getting credit? It was capital police who finally opened fire when the rioters got to the hallway with the congressional offices.
The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.
He can’t, and won’t, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney’s favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won’t, and shouldn’t, stop hitting him with everything they got.
Yeah, like what do they expect? Another foreign military intervention?
That will not happen again for decades at best. Longer if all the developed nations really learn from America’s mistake this time.
Sure, we can sanction them, but any aid just gets intercepted, so that’s out. It sucks so many Afghans are suffering under the system, but it’s the system they let happen. Did they want to be an occupied country forever? Was this a fight America was expected to wage indefinitely? Twenty years was already too long.
Given that the AMD vulnerability was called “Inception,” maybe they just like using movie titles to name CPU vulnerabilities?
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Economists want a perfect supply-demand capitalist dreamland. Demand drastically outstripping supply indicates something is wrong with The System^TM and that’s not acceptable, so they want to fix The System^TM .
It’s clear the demand is there, so it’s not a consumer problem. The supply is super-limited and being reduced every day. That’s a supply problem. The only options are incentives (don’t really work in this situation) or regulation (which economists hate but no other choice).
I assume most economists just don’t want to see what happens when that system reaches an absolute breaking point, so sign on for regulations it is.
Hah, I actually did that when I first started working for a small company.
The co-founder also rented out a house he owned as a duplex.
Actually wasn’t that bad, he charged slightly below market rate, and was pretty attentive. But definitely felt weird and I was happy to move out after a few years. It’s just an unnecessary source of potential drama.
Now my manager lives there, and has for five years.
They already go to the more liberal states for their abortions and their weed. Might as well download some porn while on the dispensary wifi.
They’re private, so it’s not disclosed, but I’m pretty sure it’s been stated by Shotwell at this point that they’re cash positive.
They don’t even really build Falcon 9’s anymore, the existing fleet is so reliable. They’re the best launch provider in the game currently, and while they spend a lot on Starlink and Starship, their actual launches are tremendously profitable.
