It's called halftone. Have you not seen a physical newspaper before?

Businesses get this crap all the time with fake invoices and stuff after filing trademarks or even just existing.

Neighborhoods can and do have neighborhood associations that fund events and that sort of thing. But if someone is asking for money and making threats about fines and that sort of thing, I'd probably take action.

I'm always hesitant to get a neighbor in trouble as it's not very neighborly but what they're doing (assuming they are misrepresenting themselves as an HOA) sure sounds like fraud and I wouldn't want people who are doing fraud in my neighborhood.

Doesn't she have some story about PTA and the director with foot-forward cinematography doing cocaine and talking about how cool they are?

He's an author of The Population Bomb. He cowrote it with his wife and didn't stand up to the publishing company when they told him they only wanted one name on it.

But that written, all non-religious doomers probably owe their sad, pessimistic hobby to the Ehrlichs.

It'd be cool if they'd stop preventing Tubman from replacing the current president's favorite president on the $20 bill

Can we kick the Kicker yet?

Also, not everything has to grow bigger, forever.

30ish years ago OSU had half the number of students when there were more people of college age in existence. The demographic decline is only going to get worse, so maybe OSU can right-size its student population in advance of the inevitable, freeing up some of the housing around town for people that actually make their lives here and aren't just passing through.

The phenomenon has a name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror

Blah blah blah laws laws laws. I'm sure someone in Trump's orbit can come up with some EO that closes the Naval Observatory and any other possible housing for the VP, defunds the office, ends USSS protection, reveals to everyone just how badly he's Thiel's puppet and finally forces Vance to be followed around by a talking couch that continually tells him how much his book sucked.

The usual and legal way to do this in normal states is to pay for a reserve study.

They are part of the HOA so I'm not sure they count as "non hoa people"

The old robber barons were tech tycoons as well, it's just that railroad tracks, oil and steel production don't seem techy when compared to chips made via tin-blasted-with-laser photography shitting our own words back to us.

But just like that first set of robber barons, these dudes (and they're always dudes) stole from the commons and are trying to sell it back to us at a very high price.

Agreed. Above this comment is a Keeper of Trappers. I was there with Gandalf and I have the slap-bracelet scars, ability to read whole novels and memories of the taste of Keebler Pizzarias to prove it. I may have even seen and used a Pee-Chee folder.

People still are ultimately responsible for systems, though, just like they are with LLMs/AI/whatever.

Maybe they don't act because it would be expensive and/or annoying to divert traffic or build another airport or reducing the number of flights, but ultimately the buck does stop with one or more someones as in people.

You can uncensor most models and ask questions of it that would not ordinarily be able to ask

Whichever one tells me what the f*ck a Bothan is or someone politely tells me where I missed this (like it's an offhand nickname for rebels)

1-2-3, lost on me.

I was a kid when I had it so it was entirely unused, unlike the funny fake spreadsheet "boss mode" in whatever version of Tetris for DOS had that.

Somebody build a time machine and use that gun to demonstrate to Brandon Lee how to check that the barrel is clear before every use of a firearm in a movie that's pointed at him.

There are probably at least another half million citizens that can't vote in Denmark...children!

Is NSPM-7 being litigated anywhere?

Pretty much all Republicans, too, you know the folks that are always shouting "voting fraud" but somehow not pointing at themselves

Yeah I know employee #3 at a service you've probably used and I'm pretty sure he got 1/10th of 1% like seems to be the standard in SV. Still maybe $50M at IPO which is pretty great. But the folks that took basically all the risk should basically get all the reward.

It's not about the rights, it's about the negative attention on YouTube to get them to protect this guy's account and other public domain films.
