I'm surprised mods and admins don't have the option to choose not to distinguish their posts and comments.

I don't blame him, I blame his staff. A routine procedure, meh. But he goes into the ICU, his staff should be notifying the White House and the deputy, and probably the joint chiefs, among others.

Why? Under Windows or Mac OS too, there's always something that doesn't quite work right.

Yeah but that's a waste of light. Why use a floodlight when you can use a laser?

Pentagon officials also failed for two days last week to notify Austin’s second-in-command that he had transferred authority to her while he was in the ICU, and while she was in Puerto Rico.

That's the real goof. I don't really see a problem with the secdef being hospitalized and not immediately notifying the President. They need DoD stuff, they call on him, and if he's not available, for any reason, it should immediately fall to the deputy. The White House staff, and especially the deputy, should have been told.

Ultimately this just seems to have been a breakdown in communication, but even if war were declared, I don't think it would have been a significant issue. This is media hype bs to distract from real issues.

There is already some debate about what time of year the birth actually happened. Most people agree that regardless of the actual day, it probably wasn't Dec 25 (or the equivalent if using other calendars). That's just the one that people agreed to use.

Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was "oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let's make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way".

Right, but it's not a pure list of facts. When you set it to paper, it's unique, and you could argue it's art. In fact, a quick Google search found one such example: https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Shopping-list-1/2146403/10186433/view

Granted, that one was presumably intended to be a work of art on creation and your weekly shopping list isn't, but the intent during creation isn't all that important for US copyright law. You create it, you get the rights.

tl;dr: practice provides an 18-26% improvement, and the rest I guess is just natural talent?

I'm not aware of any federal case law on copyright and AI. Happy to read some if you have a suggestion.

It's the plot point, but also spoilers, kind of? Part of the game is discovering what happened.
