According to ICANN cutting the life cycle short doesn't have any effect on the life cycle?

ICANN corruption is at the level of FIFA corruption.

Maybe for very short phrases, but otherwise I disagree. Phrasing very quickly runs into a combinatorial explosion. In the words of Noam Chomsky, "Virtually every sentence that a person utters or understands is a brand-new combination of words, appearing for the first time in the history of the universe."

In my opinion, the difficulty in LLM/human text discrimination isn't that a person might coincidentally write exactly the same text as an LLM would, but rather that 1) LLMs aren't hard locked to a single phrasing (so this is a tougher problem than matching to a single static document, e.g. plagiarism detection) and 2) text has relatively low information density, so you need quite a bit of it to gather enough data to run a statistical test with a reasonably narrow confidence interval.

The point of regulation isn't for the state to turn a profit. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that regulations that drive a monetary profit for the state are generally bad because they create a perverse incentive. For example, municipal governments adversely affect traffic flow by lowering speed limits because those lower speed limits generate more ticket revenue.

There's also the phenomenon of having a memory of a memory. At age 10, I had a very solid recollection of my life at ages 5 to 6 (not so much of age 4). Now all I remember is that I used to remember a lot more than I do know.

US software devs also make 2x what their European colleagues do, but that never gets called out as bloat. Plus US software devs make that 2x pay without taking our additional loans for medical school at the rate of $75k per year or doing years of low pay residency where their salary doesn’t give them the means to pay off those loans.

There's a lot to be said about publishing in academia being broken and how nearly all the value comes from 10% of publications, while the rest are garbage spewed out for reasons orthogonal to the advancement knowledge. However, IMHO, none of that really applies to PhD theses.

Verbal diarrhea. Excessive passive tense and vagueries to dilute blame (who is the "prior" owner here - Johnson or the woman before they've been trying to scapegoat?) and to top it off multiple grammatical errors in a single sentence.

I can't believe they would let this draft hit the website in its current form this in the midst of what could be an existential crisis for there company.

- Argentinians in particular are over 60% of Italian descent.

- The richest man in Mexico was born to Lebanese immigrants.

- The chief military leader of the Chilean war of independence was born to an Irish immigrant.

- Peru had a president who was born to Japanese immigrants.

These countries have all, at various times, had an influx of overseas immigrants whose birthright citizen children rose to high stations in society.
