  • What do you think is a fair length of time for copyright?

    Jump

  • Copyrights should expire five years from the date of initial publication at most.

    The copyright should be nontransferable and exclusively held by the original creator/creators.

    The creator(s) should be the people who substantively contributed to the work. Monetary contributions are not substantive.

    The rights holder should be an actual human person(s) not a corporate entity.

    The copyrighted work should enter public domain immediately upon the death of the last living rights holder or upon the expiration of the copyright. Whichever happens first.

    Any decision to license the work should require the unanimous consent of all living rights holders.

    If a rights holder is rendered incapable of making licensing decisions under suspicious circumstances all licenses to the work are immediately voided and no new licenses can be issued.

  • Do Amber Alerts for Missing Kids Actually Work? | The Walrus

    Jump

  • I live in Anchorage, AK. Why do I get Amber Alerts for Barrow. They're 900 miles away, not on the road system, and if the kidnapper and victim fled by any means other than plane they're likely dead.

    As in the kind of dead where a paleontologist will write a paper about finding a tiny piece of their mangled remains in a pile of fossilized polar bear shit a millennia from now.

    Just about every Amber alert I've ever gotten has been that kind of utterly useless.

  • A vulture has gastric acid with a pH of approximately 1. Which is equivalent to 100% pure hydrochloric acid.

    The acidic component of a human's gastric acid is hydrochloric acid. The overall pH of our gastric acid is between 1 and 3, which is similar to carrion eating carnivores and lower than most mammals.

    However, the secretion of acid in the stomach (in humans) is tightly regulated by the body, with acid being secreted during digestion and then neutralized after the fact.

    So, someone who eats a lot will have gastric juices with a more consistently low pH. Unless you just really like chowing down on baking soda and lye, in which case, why?

  • Well, you see the first step is to boil the potatoes. It softens the starches and makes the next step easier.

    The second step is to mash roughly one half of the potatoes and set them aside.

    For the third step, you will cut the remaining potatoes into roughly one inch (2.5cm) cubes. After that you will, and this is critical, stick them in a stew.

    Let the stew simmer until the onions dissolve and the carrots soften.

    Now you can serve the stew over the mashed potatoes and then smuggle them out of the phone in your stomache.

  • Russian man buys $1,100 RTX 5070 Ti and gets a water bottle instead

    Jump

  • While it's insane that he got a water bottle in a box that appeared factory sealed, it's also pretty nuts that we're now spending $1100 on a 70 series GPU. Those shouldn't be more than $300, maybe $400 for an OC's version like this dude bought.

    Showers, morning or night?

    Jump

  • Depends on what shift I'm working. Day shift I'll shower at night because I don't have time in the morning. Night shift I'll shower in the morning.

    I definitely prefer showering in the morning, (I also prefer night shift) a good shower just generally feels like a good start to the day. It helps me wake up and gives me time to mentally prepare for the day.

  • Do you feel like popular media using a game of Chess to depict a "battle of wits" to be too cliche/cringe?

    Jump

  • In some sense this is correct. Chess strategy is fairly well documented, and a skilled player will know quite a bit of how a game will play out based on a given board state.

    In another sense, there are something like 10^46 legal board states that can be reached from the starting state across all legal permutations of the game rules.

    It's functionally impossible for a person to know the outcome of a game from the first move.
