Zionism is so much more than this definition, I believe this essay provides a better explanation of what Zionism was, versus what it has become...
It's an apples to oranges comparison for sure. The only reason you'd purchase a Thunderbolt cable is to support Thunderbolt enabled hardware, which are designed for Apple computers. It would have been a better comparison if they scanned the typical USB-C cable provided with a laptop or iPad instead. They start at $19.00 per 1 meter cable.
Meanwhile, on October 3rd…
McCarthy says he won’t give Democrats anything in exchange for support as Speaker
Such a fun movie. I absolutely love it, have from its release. It may not have done well at the box office, but I'm convinced it's one of Burton's best films.
I haven't worked with FLAC since the hardware I own utilizes AIFF & WAV raw recording file formats. Exporting I typically use MP3 with a sample rate of 128Kbps/44.1KHz. I haven't tried FLAC yet. I might try to do that next opportunity to see if the file sizes are comparable (there's a size limit when I upload DJ mixes to Mixcloud).
That’s why I usually record to AIFF or WAV since it’s lossless
I haven't experienced this. Typically, a new LP pressing costs about twice as much as a CD. There are some that are more expensive (I currently have an LP worth about $160 in my collection to my surprise), yet they are rarer pressings. I've bought most of my vinyl new (mint condition), and by and large those records usually cost $20-$30.
It is not difficult to make copies of vinyl records. All you need is an audio output from a receiver, a computer, and recording software (such as GarageBand or Logic Pro).
You'd be surprised how easy and relatively cheap it is to rip vinyl to MP3.
My wife and I have just recently started to use Discogs, so we were unaware of the new fees and some of the problems associated with ordering. My wife has bought several LPs from the site, and hasn't had an issue, while I've only ordered one LP (also with no issue).
We have the luxury of having a few record stores in town with fairly large vinyl selections. The electronic record store I frequent also uses Discogs, however I haven't talked to the owner to see how these fees have impacted his experience as a seller. I'll have to remember to talk to him about it next time I'm visiting his store.
You CAN dream...tis a silly dream, yet a dream worth entertaining.
This would be so funny.
I find it highly doubtful they will be able to fill the position at all. The only reason McCarthy has it is because he gave in to the Freedom Caucus' demands and got himself into this very position (which many predicted would happen). It's up to the GOP to lead their majority, and they can't even agree who that is amongst themselves.
What a shit show. They put their own party against doing the business of the people.
I read a different article about this a few days back. The "identity theft" reasoning was due to simple Google searches conducted by the newspaper. This asshat really overstepped his authority (he had to have done it before). I'd love to see concrete repercussions, yet I won't hold my breath.
Except the AI owner does. It's like sampling music for a remix or integrating that sample into a new work. Yes, you do not need to negotiate with Sarah Silverman if you are handed a book by a friend. However if you use material from that book in a work it needs to be cited. If you create an IP based off that work, Sarah Silverman deserves compensation because you used material from her work.
No different with AI. If the AI used intellectual property from an author in its learning algorithm, than if that intellectual property is used in the AI's output the original author is due compensation under certain circumstances.

Here’s current guidance from US Congress regarding AI copyright infringement.
Page 3 includes guidance on fair use.
The learning model is artificial, vs a human that is sentient. If a human learns from a piece of work, that’s fine if they emulate styles in their own work. However, sample that work, and the original artist is due compensation. This was a huge deal in the late 80s with electronic music sampling earlier musical works, and there are several cases of copyright that back original owners’ claim of royalties due to them.
The lawsuits allege that the models used copyrighted work to learn. If that is so, writers are due compensation for their copyrighted work.
This isn’t litigation against the technology. It’s litigation around what a machine can freely use in its learning model. Had ChatGPT, Meta, etc., used works in the public domain this wouldn’t be an issue. Yet it looks as if they did not.
EDIT
And before someone mentions that the books may have been bought and then used in the model, it may not matter. The Birthday Song is a perfect example of copyright that caused several restaurant chains to use other tunes up until the copyright was overturned in 2016. Every time the AI uses the copied work in its’ output it may be subject to copyright.
