Not in the US, there art can only be created by a human.
If it's created by an algorithm or animal supernatural being it's public domain.

Interesting facts:

  • when photography was invented there was a debate whether photos can be copyrighted
  • if you claim to have written down something revealed to you by a supernatural entity, it's public domain
  • the following image is public domain because it was taken by a monkey

While the F-16 has the stronger letter, the B-17 takes the lead on the number. It's still anybody's game.

A commendable effort by Russia to discourage the promotion of human extinction.

The nation starting wars and extracting fossil fuels is soooo concerned with the extinction of humanity.

I think we should all agree that quenching is the coolest industrial process.

The reason we shouldn't support Ukraine is that every bomb we send is a bad day for someone, statistically mostly civilians.

Im sure Russia would take over peacefully ... like in bucha.

Maybe we should allow the Ukrainian people to choose whether to fight or capitulate.

It puts anyone who is hit into a forced 10 second dance animation with disco lights.

Jetbrains products also have a fallback license after a year, so you retain perpetual acces to an old version* and I don't think there is much change in the space of git UIs.

* iirc the version that you had one year before your payment lapsed, it applies to discounted versions as well

It's about hype and economics.
Tech companies can theoretically scale well and are valued on the expectation of growth while normal companies are manly valued based on what they currently do. An app can basically be copied for free to millions of users once it has been coded and servers don't cost that much. A traditional company, say a car company, that wants to increase profits has to build a new factory or something. The problems arise when a companies perception goes from startup/tech company to normal company.

Example: wework was a startup that rented office space long term and lets it customers rent short term from them. Once people realized, that it was a real estate company and not a tech company it's value plummeted, it couldn't raise more capital and went bankrupt.

Edit: spelling

When I think of diy bio hacking I think of "The Thought Emporium", thankfully he knows his stuff is not suitable for the public.

For you to short something a institutional investor or market maker takes a long position on the same thing.

For some reason legit institutional investors never really show up in the crypto sphere and the smart market makers don't like to get high on their own supply (or are selling tokens they got at insider prices on the open market).
