A social media site typically takes a soft licence allowing it to store and reproduce your content (which is needed to be able to function), and maybe use it in marketing. Some go a little further, but please show me one mainstream site that takes over all your (copy)rights when you post?
You might be correct that I'm mistaken wrt the intellectual property of comments. I'm not an IP lawyer and cannot state it with confidence one way or another.
What I feel comfortable stating is however that we have precident for the exact scenario the person I responded to (wanting royalties for a storyline they posted on a social media website) and this precident showed that are least the lawyers of WB were of the opinion that a rewrite outside of any social media platform was necessary.
My uncle, who was a top UK lawyer but not really into tech, basically reinvented a spreadsheet on paper spread over his office floor, while working on a hige planning case. Yes, I think that basic structure will pop out of a number of problem types, eg Gaussian elimination.
I am very very annoyed by many of the shallow "it's obviously wrong" comments on this story. And thank you to those rebutting more politely than I feel inclined to.
It's a fascinating paper and something that I have been interested in since before [0] and ties in to a strand of work in my PhD research. Also see for example [1].

The article is not even wrong imo, it is non-sense. Eg when we speak we convey much more information than just with the words we say. We communicate "information" using intonation, changing the rate of the speech, body language etc. Statements like "10 bits per seconds" are ridiculous clickbaits, and cognitive scientists should study cognition in more ecologically valid settings if they want to make any sense.
You appreciate that the contrast that is being highlighted in the paper is the missing 8 orders of magnitude? A little bit more than the OOM baseline claim of 10bps highlighted is neither here nor there.
Put a bunch of people in an empty, lacking as much as possible any details, room. Try to minimise an environmental stimulation. Have the people dress as plainly, boring as possible. Think of diddy's white parties, all white. Have people sing and dance and do stuff. Have a person just watch them. Do you think the person will find that this context is understimulating? Do you think that the "perception bandwidth" of them there is gonna fall down, or that people will have the same feeling as looking at an empty wall or some painting for several minutes? I don't think so, and if not then we have to think about where the information is coming from, who produces the processes that encode this information and how they produce them.
Good project. I've added links from my MHRV pages which have quite good traction on search.
Small note: the older single-room unit we have with the fan on the outside can ice up and make horrible noises then stall at a few degrees below zero (here in London UK)... B^>
Also: as the creator of a project called OpenTRV, I cannot but help admire your taste in naming! B^> B^>
That's an amazing project! I'm blessed to be in such company. Seriously, I use open source stuff and I prefer to do business with such relatively wise people. If you want a beta unit, email me and I'll put you at the top of the list!
Just maybe no one should be regarding coming round a blind corner at 60mph as any more sensible than crossing the road without looking ... especially given that the motorist is a lethal danger to others...
As a cheat last year, and I may do it again this year, I spent all of one day on one track so that I had no scheduling decisions to make at all that day!
I think that "bubble" in this context means greatly overvalued, but not necessarily that there is an imminent danger. From the article, seems actually the opposite: the bubble is self-sustaining, because it depresses the other markets and economies and encourages even more do redirect all resources on the US market. Of course at some point things will change, but that point might be far into the future.
That is indeed possible, and generally one has been missing out if not in the US market (I used to sit on derivs/credit/etc desks, though not myself trading), but the near-term risks from likely innumerate, cruel and reckless US policies seem unreasonably high to me. And I have a fairly high risk appetite!
I am not authorised to give financial advice etc etc but I think that it makes sense to have a substantial fraction of assets (but not all) where you live or correlated with its market, especially retirement funds. So I moved mainly from the US to UK for simplicity and speed, but I may push some of that away into non-UK markets when I muster some enthusiasm.
If you are in the US then maybe markets correlated with the US but not the US (Canada?) may be a sensible alternative.
If those are to personal email addresses, they would be forbidden under GDPR (EU & UK) as not opt in and no right of deletion, ie misuse of personal data.
If they are coming to work (ie non-personal) email addresses then the employers could have some course of action, eg in the UK remove the implied right of access to email servers and then invoke the Computer Misuse Act for unauthorised use of those systems. I have eventually had some effects with variations of the second.
