Nah, that mindset is not helping the situation

A half life of 100 years means that after 100 years half of it is copper while the other half is still nickel 63. It does NOT mean that after half that time all of it will be copper

For real. I have quite a bunch of colleagues that don’t know I’m not a cis Woman and i wear a fucking trans bracelet

What you just said was a thing that you can only do in an idealised world where you never get sick and all your bills are always payed in the month you get them. Nice of you to completely ignore the rest of the answer that kind of points to why in the real world you have to set aside money and why in the real world a volatile currency is useless

• work January, get paid 1000, pay 600 in bills and lay 400 aside for potential emergencies
• work February, medical emergency comes up but medical bills now cost 10000 so you can’t afford them with the 400 you set aside and you also can’t work because of the emergency so you take 20000 debth to repay the medical cost and other bills
• work March to repay your debth, but you only get 50 while still having a debth of 20000

Well I thought you’re talking about taking out the natives because the British weren’t the first to settle America. Also America was more founded by British settlers bring fed up by their home country’s long fingers reaching for their pockets. America was founded by the British infighting, not by some magical Americans taking out the British that were there “first”.

You sound like that’s something you’re proud of 😐

We don’t need to pretend though. People with speed reading skills are faster than most humans as well and could read a lot more books.

It’s very probable that you read at least one writers whole library, even if it’s as many stories as Terry Pratchett got published which will always be true for human written books as writing them takes longer than reading.

Obviously the acquirement of those stories has to be made in a legal way and no actual passages should be stored in the model but the amount of data processed should have no say on if it can be used.

And as written by others here. Making copyright law more strict puts big corps at an advantage because they have big legal teams and money to just pay the copyright fee while your regular user would not be able to.

Damn this comment is giving me Talos Principle Road to Gehenna vibes
