schestowitz__Attentive Observer, you have not actually defined what AI is incapable of doing which excludes it from ever inventing. AI can detect patterns in data which humans cannot. It can produce output with highly complex relationships with input (inventive?). It has many 'mental' functions which are beyond what humans can do. Until we can actually define how it fails compared to a human, it seems unfair to say it cannot invent.Sep 15 00:10

MinceRi don't see why liking bees and hating flies would make no senseSep 15 00:12
MinceRbees collect nectar, and in doing so, fertilize flowers, and are generally non-aggressiveSep 15 00:13
MinceRflies are aggressively annoyingSep 15 00:13
DaemonFC[m]I kill spiders. You reminded me of fifth grade. Sep 15 00:13
MinceRi avoid killing spiders as wellSep 15 00:13
DaemonFC[m]I was on the class computer and I saw a huge spider looking at me.Sep 15 00:13
DaemonFC[m]So I squashed it and it turned out to be another student's pet that they brought in to show the class.Sep 15 00:13

DaemonFC[m]So you have to be careful to send in the correct one.Sep 15 00:16
DaemonFC[m]This year, they changed the work permit one (I-765) to add three questions that don't even apply to us, so I would have left them blank anyway.Sep 15 00:16
DaemonFC[m]But had I sent the old form in past the deadline, they would have refused to file it.Sep 15 00:16
DaemonFC[m]This probably wastes an insane amount of their own time.Sep 15 00:17
DaemonFC[m]Because you'd just file it again right awst with the new form.Sep 15 00:18

DaemonFC[m]It really is. So I went ahead and sent it in about three weeks before I planned to since I already had the old version printed up and ready to go.Sep 15 00:23
DaemonFC[m]I already had a creditor violate the bankruptcy discharge.Sep 15 00:27
DaemonFC[m]Quest Diagnostics sent me a letter. I called them and told them "I filed bankruptcy in May and it was discharged and closed last month with you listed on the petition. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt for now, but you need to stop contacting me or I'll reopen the bankruptcy and you can pay my attorney to get yourselves a nice big fine from the bankruptcy court.".Sep 15 00:28

DaemonFC[m]I changed out my Brita filter for the month. It's amazing how before people wiped out the Brita filters (I have plenty) they went and bought carts and carts full of bottled water.Sep 15 00:33
DaemonFC[m]Even at the cheapest, the bottled water is about 25 cents for a 16 ounce bottle. It costs 10 cents to filter a gallon of tap water with the Brita if you buy them in the multi-pack.Sep 15 00:34
DaemonFC[m]So I can filter 5 gallons for 50 cents, when a 5 gallon drum for a water cooler costs $6.47 for 5 gallons. Sep 15 00:35
DaemonFC[m]13x more expensive and you have to lug it home yourself and make lots of trips to the store. Sep 15 00:35
DaemonFC[m]Seems odd that people do things the stupid way all the time.Sep 15 00:39
DaemonFC[m]They have these huge displays in Walmart at the water refill stations that say "Your water hangs out in some pretty seedy places!" and it shows pipes full of dirt with plant roots and everything around them.Sep 15 00:45

DaemonFC[m]The state of California actually tested water from these things and found that most of the time it was worse than drinking city tap water.Sep 15 00:47
DaemonFC[m]There shouldn't be anything terribly unsafe in tap water regulated by the state of Illinois. It's actually more comprehensive than the federal law requires. I'd go so far as to call these water machines a scam.Sep 15 00:49

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: There's an episode of Rick & Morty that makes fun of that.Sep 15 00:50
DaemonFC[m]Whenever Rick wants rid of someone who is annoying them, but not enough to kill them, he puts them in a vat filled with a chemical that causes them to hallucinate that they're doing whatever "their version of heaven is".Sep 15 00:51
DaemonFC[m]Jerry accidentally drinks some that he finds in the fridge and it causes him to hallucinate that he's delivering water from a truck to people, and so he snaps out of it and immediately guzzles the whole thing.Sep 15 00:52

DaemonFC[m]Windows 10 is still pretty seriously crippled when you start running it with more than 64 CPUs, whether that's physical or logical (hyperthreading).Sep 15 01:34
DaemonFC[m]The Windows API still doesn't behave in the expected way sometimes.Sep 15 01:36
DaemonFC[m]I was reading one example where they changed how a system call worked in Windows 10 without documenting the change.Sep 15 01:36
DaemonFC[m]Windows 10 could still run programs that used the system call as the documentation suggested it should be used, but it was now possible to use it in a way that violated the documentation and get a program that worked on Windows 10 but crashed on everything older.Sep 15 01:37
DaemonFC[m]The obvious solution, if you know about this issue, is to make sure you use it the way it was documented, but if you make a mistake, you can very easily ship a bugged application that appears to work fine as long as you only test it on Windows 10.Sep 15 01:38

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-news.yahoo.com | Yahoo News/YouGov poll: Number of Americans willing to get a COVID vaccination falls to a new low as fears mount that Trump is putting politics before safetySep 15 04:44
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: Well, I'm in the majority.Sep 15 04:45
DaemonFC[m]Wait and see what happens to other people who took it.Sep 15 04:45
DaemonFC[m]"As a result of Trump’s Election Day timeline, what could have been seen as a revolutionary breakthrough — a vaccine developed four times faster than ever before — is instead coming to be seen as an untrustworthy, politically motivated stunt. A majority of Americans say Trump wants “a vaccine to be released quickly” for political reasons (57 percent) rather than health reasons (24 percent); 82 percent of DeSep 15 04:46
DaemonFC[m]61 percent of independents agree with that assessment. In turn, a similar majority of Americans (55 percent) believe the vaccine would not be safe if released before Election Day. Just 14 percent say the opposite — 9 percent of Democrats and 27 percent of Republicans. "Sep 15 04:46
DaemonFC[m]Also predictable.Sep 15 04:47
DaemonFC[m]Most people are intelligent enough to realize that you can't just mandate a vaccine before election day and have it all end well.Sep 15 04:47
DaemonFC[m]It takes as long as it takes.Sep 15 04:47
DaemonFC[m]Also, Trump was stupid enough to act like he could command the FDA to approve one, and then ended up causing a panic among all the vaccine companies, which signed a joint letter saying they won't even submit one to the FDA for approval until it's done with Phase 3 trials, which won't be before the election.Sep 15 04:48
DaemonFC[m]So Trump fails on his promise, and people see through it anyway. He's a dumb oaf who doesn't even realize how to get out of his own way, politically. Sep 15 04:49

schestowitz__Thank you Concerned Observer, my thoughts were also: Why make a fuss about the “Internal Market Bill” and then go on and break international law…?!?Sep 15 05:17
schestowitz__If – with the existing agreements – the UPC is started, it will be fun to see the first case tried in Milan go to the EuCJ because of the wrong venue (this gives a new meaning to “forum non conveniens” 😉 ). But I don’t see a start of the UPC soon, the BVerfG mor or less invited new constitutional complaints, so I guess it will take some more years to resolve the open questions, assuming this is at all possible.Sep 15 05:17
schestowitz__With the mess made out of the UPC agreement, it would be best to completely scrap it and start from scratch – without interested litigators during the drafting.Sep 15 05:17

schestowitz__"Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__A lot has already, correctly, been said by earlier commenters, but I would like to add some thoughts going in the same direction.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__That the preparatory committee is positive about the future of the EPC cannot come as a surprise. If this committee does not believe in the UPCA, who should?Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Questions remain. One of them being: is a “note verbale” enough to withdraw from a treaty? I have strong doubts. The absence of an exit clause in the UPCA makes the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties applicable and I concur with Concerned Observer. Art 24 VCLT does not appear applicable.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Neither the Italian declaration nor the preparatory committee make any reference to this treaty. In the presentation of the new ratification bill there is a mention of a common declaration under Art 31(3) VCLT, but it is difficult to consider the declaration of the IT Minister of Foreign affairs to be such a declaration.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__An interesting question is also, should such a declaration under Art 31(3) VCLT also be endorsed by the countries having signed but not yet ratified? I would be inclined to say yes, since should they ratify later, they might be put in a situation they could neither envisage nor control.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Are we living in a world free of rules or regulations, where lobbyists can push their desires into reality? I just hope not, as otherwise we would live in the jungle and not in a civilised word.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Without amending Art 7(2) UPCA beforehand, the UPCA will end up in mess. The compromise à la EU when deciding to split the “Central” Division now backfires, and rightly so. The whole idea of splitting was crazy and corresponded to a lousy compromise à la EU.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__If the question of Art 7(2) UPCA is not settled beforehand, it will remain as a Damocles sword over the future of the UPC. At least in Germany, there is the notion of an “appointed” judge. A party cannot influence the designation of the judge dealing with its case. There is a clear set of rules on the designation of any judge in any affair.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__That now a different judge can be designated by way of an administrative action does not seem to correspond to this fundamental idea which is part of the set of rules which guarantee the independency of the judiciary over the executive.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Any party losing before the transferred section of the Central division will not accept it, and will find any way possible to have this, avoidable, situation being scrutinised, for instance before the CJEU or even a national court like the German Federal Constitutional Court.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__One does not need to wait until a Milan Section delivers a decision to go to the CJEU. The problem applies also if the duties of the London Section are transferred “provisionally” to Paris and/or Munich.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Some of the constitutional problems linked with the supremacy of the UPCA over the German Constitution have not been resolved, and even worse, they have been completely ignored in the presentation of the new ratification bill.Sep 15 05:18
schestowitz__Last but not least, the present coalition does not have on its own a 2/3 majority in the Parliament, so that the ratification is not yet acquired for this reason alone.Sep 15 05:19
schestowitz__One thing is now clear, there is no mention whatsoever of the beneficial effect of the UPC for European SMEs. This farce has now been ended. Why bother if the goal is almost achieved!Sep 15 05:19
schestowitz__I fully agree that all the interested litigators having co-opted each other in the drafting committee of the RoP should be excluded from any further drafting committees linked with a reviewed UPCA.Sep 15 05:19
schestowitz__I have heard from very reliable sources that some national judges are complaining and are totting up all the money they miss by the delayed entry into force of the UPCA. This is also something not nice to hear, and those judges having been co-opted in this famous drafting committee should also be excluded.Sep 15 05:19
schestowitz__Sorry folks the end does not justify the means. The rule of law should be respected by judges and lawyers alike.Sep 15 05:19

DaemonFC[m]Bill Clinton has become a major liability and Hillary even more so (nowhere to be seen at the DNC, you know).Sep 15 23:30

DaemonFC[m]Well, the polls show Democrats united around Biden for the most part.Sep 15 23:31
schestowitz__but won't show up to vote with obstructions in place like queues, covid etc. Sep 15 23:31
DaemonFC[m]It's obvious why.Sep 15 23:31
DaemonFC[m]People are furious about Trump and they have been even before this plague.Sep 15 23:31

schestowitz__they prefer trumpSep 15 23:32
DaemonFC[m]I never wanted Hillary Clinton to be the president, but I voted for her in 2016 anyway.Sep 15 23:32
DaemonFC[m]Because it was her or Trump.Sep 15 23:32

DaemonFC[m]I'd rather have a couple months of him trying to cause problems on the way out than 4 more years where he can plan and plot and actually make more of it stick.Sep 15 23:33

DaemonFC[m]I've been calling around trying to figure out how to get a cheap dental cleaning since CLC is closed.Sep 15 23:44
DaemonFC[m]I found a dentist office with good reviews who does a new patient exam and cleaning for $70. I don't think I'll do better than that.Sep 15 23:44
DaemonFC[m]My dentist in Chicago did like $120 or something for a cleaning, but more if you needed x-rays.Sep 15 23:45
DaemonFC[m]There's all of these dental "discount cards" that aren't insurance. Delta Dental makes a killing on them because they charge you like $15 a month to use the card and then you get their "negotiated price" with the dentist, who bills them more because they're an insurance company.Sep 15 23:46
DaemonFC[m]So you get to pay for a plan that makes your dental bill higher. Sep 15 23:46
DaemonFC[m]:)Sep 15 23:46
schestowitz__why are we talking about dentists?Sep 15 23:46
DaemonFC[m]Just one of those ridiculous things that I'm sure only happens here.Sep 15 23:47
DaemonFC[m]Thanks to Stallman and the Green Party, we may go through another 4 years of millions more people losing their health insurance, not just their teeth.Sep 15 23:48
DaemonFC[m]He probably doesn't personally influence enough people to cause another disaster.Sep 15 23:49
DaemonFC[m]But he's contributing to the problem.Sep 15 23:49
DaemonFC[m]I think it really says everything that it was a law firm that works for the Wisconsin Republican Party being paid by guess who that was trying to get Howie Hawkins on the ballot.Sep 15 23:49
DaemonFC[m]When the news asked for a comment from Hawkins, he just said "Well, you take help wherever you can get it.".Sep 15 23:50
DaemonFC[m]At least he didn't lie about who his primary benefactor is. Donald Trump.Sep 15 23:50
DaemonFC[m]This Wisconsin Green party thing was worse than those lawsuits trying to make voting harder or disenfranchise people or ripping apart mail sorting machines.Sep 15 23:51
DaemonFC[m]It had the potential to give Trump another one of those sliver of a fraction of a percentage wins of a state where he'd gain 10 electoral votes. Sep 15 23:51
DaemonFC[m]We don't know how the USPS thing will affect election day in Wisconsin. We don't know exactly how hard it will be to stand in line to vote in person in Milwaukee or Madison.Sep 15 23:52
DaemonFC[m]But either 40,000 Communists who were being duped by Trump will either get out of the way now or just vote for Biden.Sep 15 23:52
DaemonFC[m]Eve if they just get out of the way it will undo some of the other sabotage to the mail and polling sites.Sep 15 23:53
DaemonFC[m]We've always had fringe parties, but at least before now they really didn't cram the system with useless ballots when it only has a certain capacity, you know. Because of the other tricks and the virus. Sep 15 23:54
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: They could still vote for Howie Hawkins, it would just be a spoiled ballot.Sep 15 23:54
DaemonFC[m]Like when I occasionally vote for myself as a protest.Sep 15 23:55
DaemonFC[m]It has the same effect as if he was on the ballot.Sep 15 23:55
DaemonFC[m]The reason the Republicans were really funding this was because it was a twofer.Sep 15 23:55
DaemonFC[m]If they got him on the ballot, he'd siphon maybe 40,000 votes from Biden, but it would also force the county clerks to miss deadlines and have to reprint all of the ballots, and it would throw the election into chaos and prevent millions of people from votinglSep 15 23:56
schestowitz__quit blaming RMSSep 15 23:56
schestowitz__he supports something he believes inSep 15 23:56
schestowitz__not TrumpSep 15 23:56
schestowitz__focus on people who actually vote TrumpSep 15 23:56
DaemonFC[m]I'm glad that the Greens are having a bad year. This is the worst time ever to drain votes from a Democrat.Sep 15 23:57
DaemonFC[m]They can go back to silly season when things are better and we have that luxury again.Sep 15 23:57
schestowitz__Dead: 200,098Sep 15 23:57
DaemonFC[m]What they do now is worthy of contempt.Sep 15 23:57
DaemonFC[m]Again, this proves that the government of Sweden is lying and very corrupt.Sep 15 23:58
DaemonFC[m]There's no way in hell that this just blew threw a country that didn't do a damned thing and doesn't even require masks and the damage was pretty mild and never flared up again.Sep 15 23:59
schestowitz__I heard so ages agoSep 15 23:59
schestowitz__about SwedenSep 15 23:59
schestowitz__people think of them as gentle and well-educated blondesSep 15 23:59
