When you upload a song, you indicate whether it has copyright and who owns it, Then, whenever its played they pay the copyright owner based on an audience size basis, similar to Spotify.

If you don’t, the copyright owner informs Google, and they close that link.

Even if you have music playing in the background of an instructional video, the copyright holders will go after you.

Where Sheldon tells an Indian woman how to cook curry ? Ok.

In Australia, the only cheese you could buy in the supermarket in the 1970s was Kraft in the little blue packets sold in the dry goods section.

To buy “real” cheese you had to go to a dairy, or go to the city centre and buy cheese cut off the block and wrapped in greaseproof paper from a contintental delicatessan.

Polyethylene film was not available.

So when it came out and you could buy real cheese in film from ther supermarket, Kraft responded by bringing out "more convenient " Kraft Singles, which you didn’t have to laboriously (?) cut from the block.

Its salted curds like cheese, but its not matured. Instead mineral salts are added which absorb the water, the same sort of stuff used in corned beef, bacon and ham.

The colouring is artificial. Its naturally a light grey colour.

Compare with the level of support israel has got. You can be certain people in Ukraine are.

Given that it is essentially a proxy war between the US and Russia, its quite possible the war could end without either side actually “winning”.

Obviously the US will continue to support the war for as long as possible, and if that means turning ukraine to ash and destroying the economies of western europe, well that is a price they are willing to pay.

There are still shortages in Russia and if the gas and electricty shortages continue through winter that could be devastating in Russia. It wouldn’t take that much to tip the country into chaos, what the response of the Russian govt to Ukraine would be - possibly using their really large missiles that can wipe out a whole village - is completely unknown.

We don’'t really understand the mentality of the Ukraine govt. The fact that many western weapons seem to go missing before they reach the front and the coincidence of the Azerbaijan getting a pile of muntions just after deliveries to Ukraine may indicate that the aims of the Ukraine govt may not totally align with those of western europe.

RPG games like Fortnite use an algorithm which tricks people into believing their skills are improving.

When you hit a pixel, it doesn’t automatically score a hit like Space Invaders, it runs an algorithm based on the time you have been playing the game to determine the amount of damage you cause. The more you play, the more “accurate” you become.

Actually infinity is easy to understand.

If you were to walk in a straight line, you would never get to the end of the earth - it is infinite.

Its finitism that is impossible to understand.

3*(1/3) = 3/3 = 1 3*(1/3) = 3*(0.333…) = 0.999… 0.999… = 1

This a problem of the number base you’re using, not infinity. One third is a finite number which cannot be expressed in base 10.
