They're probably going to make the WTO enforce against countries with more liberal copyright regimes, but it must be said they'll need to crack on if they want to do so and several of the larger economies are politically gridlocked at this point in making any decisions at all.
It is atypical for issues that affect elite bottom lines to be subject to political gridlock.
The gridlock is simply the manifested reality that legislation is fully pay to play, but if you're paying that's not your problem.
maybe they could power a repeater with it.
(this is a joke btw)
EDIT: wait, what if the repeater was amplifying light going the other direction (coming out) or on a different strand?
then you would have rediscovered the Erbium doped fiber amplifier
I honestly believe we should ban fireworks and firework shows across the country. Not only are they (apparently) bad for the environment and likely to cause wildfires*, have the potential to trigger PTSD**, but they also make the large majority of dogs terrified for at least two nights of the year. As humans, our symbiotic relationship with dogs is one of our greatest assets -- we owe them better than this. Drone shows + music are just as cool.

Let's make thunderstorms illegal, they scare dogs too.
It seems to me like this whole Chinese lithography sanction deal is not really... working.
SMIC is generously 1-2 nodes behind Intel at this point and have only caught up since we've started utilizing sanctions?
Intel meanwhile has not had to compete in any other sense than process technology in decades.
They've been habitually humiliated by any competitor with access to any process no matter how dated for the simple fact that they're trying to compete not maximize monopoly extraction with that process.
They've abandoned numerous innovations simply because they weren't extractive enough compared to inferior alternatives.
I don't think any amount of tipping the scale with sanctions is going to save Intel from being savaged into a mist of blood and insolvency the moment a competitor enters the arena without a process technology disadvantage, and that much seems inevitable now.
It's simply not in their DNA to survive in that environment.
On the other hand, I suppose lobbying for sanctions and subsidies would be textbook Intel strategy.

I'm not sure what puzzle you're referring to but the effect you're referring to sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule%E2%80%93Thomson_effect
It's possible that god has a PC, but it isn't interesting, it isn't falsifiable, it's just another generation inventing a religion that conforms to the fashions of the day.
The interesting implication of this particular interpretation to me is not that God has a PC but that everything running on God's PC has exactly the same PC (because it can also manipulate mass falling into a black hole).
I feel like the author doesn't really need to introduce the concept of black hole computation to draw an equivalence between simulation theory and interacting with reality to achieve an intended state, though.
In a sense any time you manipulate reality you are simulating a new reality in a computational subset of your prior reality, with similar implications whether or not any part of the computation falls into a black hole or involves digital logic.
I think at least some part of simulation theory must be true because it is trivially equivalent to having consequences in reality, and black hole computation as described would just be a limiting case where the mass-energy is potentially fully occupied by a single computation approaching infinite space and time complexity.

How?
There is no "commercially available database" that can detect if a child is using their parent's name.

It should be pretty clear from the language what the intent is.

I found this quote enlightening:
> From: Joaquín Baldwin, @joabaldwin > Of note: if a customer orders a copy from Amazon, and a damaged, returned book > is shipped to them instead, no new KDP printing orders kick in. This means I > don’t get paid at all, because they only pay me when a book is printed. They > stole my money while scamming a customer.
So the author wants to be paid royalties on books he says are "damaged" that are brand new but that he says can not be sold to customers?
We recently discussed abuses of copyright law. This qualifies as an abuse of copyright law IMHO.
My understanding is that Amazon is not accounting for the royalties after they are returned from an author purchase and resold under terms other than the royalty free terms.
It's not that he wants to get paid for the unsold inventory, it's that he believes he doesn't get paid at all when they resell as new the used inventory he rejected and returned in quality control of his royalty free author purchase.
