I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.

That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea

Edit: I was envisioning actual external hard disk or solid state drives accessible using a USB connection. Thumb drives and other ultra-portable data formats are notorious for poor data integrity over time.

I REALLY hope LLM companies get the book thrown at them, specifically under DMCA. It’s such a flagrant double standard that these companies get to profit off of plagiarism while creators are constantly at risk of being falsely flagged for violating copyright and having huge streams of their income taken away at a moment’s notice

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

I personally agree with you on nearly all points, but it’s not what’s being argued by both major parties so I opted to leave it out of my original comment. I would argue that even if those changes couldn’t be made because politics, that at least documenting everyone who enters would have the effect of more accurate data than census and job reports can provide, because one is a 10-year process and the other is excluding non-working immigrants and those who do work exclusively under the table

Uncontrolled immigration IS a bad thing, because properly documenting the people who enter our country is vital for providing public services in a manner that reflects the population makeup.

Nearly everyone agrees that undocumented border crossings should be reduced, they disagree on how to do this.

That said, a failure to counter incoherent nonsense does not an acceptance make. Strive to post less sensationalist headlines

And today is its 14th birthday

Really pushing HIPAA with this one, but with good cause

Oh she’s definitely a spoiler candidate, the question is whether she’s doing so intentionally.

Not to mention, he tends to spend his money by investing in startups that (as far as I can tell) actually solve a problem. He’s not one to cut corners and inflate values needlessly, and he’s far more concerned with making a business successful than extracting every penny of profit possible.

Do I think it’s bad that one man has as much power has he does? Absolutely. Am I glad that at least one man with as much power as he does uses it to make the world a little better? You bet.

Mark Cuban is not an example of why Billionaires should be allowed to exist, he’s just an example of how being a billionaire doesn’t NECESSARILY mean you’re an evil person.
