What if you're already eating less? It should say: eat the right amount.


Only Teslas will be allowed?


Even tesla a [will] havr different sized models.

Sedan, the new one that's in backlog, truck that is being unveiled in September, etc.

I also do not think he will convince any municipality to allow boring of a network just for tesla. I also do not think he is that close minded.


People who go to the sauna frequently might be more social or get more social interaction.


Not in Finland, where the study was conducted, and where almost everybody has a private sauna.


I'll wait for a competing product that has flour in it.


You can use the same argument when Tesla has 10000M miles driven. Fatal accidents in the US are 130 per 10000M miles driven.


Not if you understand statistics.


One of the YT comments is about how he is not releasing the "ROM dump". Any idea of why he isn't doing this?


From jhl in the forum thread:

>I, myself, am not going to release these ROMs. This isn't the first project where I've dumped a commercial object for some other purpose and been asked to share (see: shairport, for one), and after much thought I conclude - now, as then - that it's not the right thing for me to do in any project. There are legal and professional risks which I'm just not comfortable taking. That's not negotiable.

>But that's not to say I won't help you dump it yourself. I'll have a dump feature in the cart, and I'm sure someone will rapidly archive all the available systems.


I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how "I didn't steal anything; I just broke open the safe and told others how to get the money" would get you of the hook.


Well, it's a good thing you're not a lawyer then!

By analogy, if the original comment had been "I will not give you a copy of the copyrighted harry potter book, but I can teach you how to use a scanner if you'd like, and I'm sure someone else will scan it" would you say that teaching someone to use a scanner is illegal?

It's actually typically legal to make a backup of a copyrighted item you own for personal use if the original is damaged.

He's teaching people to do something that's typically legal, avoiding infringing copyright by redistributing himself, and commenting that it's quite likely others won't be so scrupulous; I don't see how anyone could reasonably fault him.


A scanner doesn't target a single (intellectual) property. This feature of this hack, on the other hand, would have only one use: dumping the ROM of a Sega Saturn.

I hadn't thought of the 'for personal use' defense, though.


There's an active hobbyist lockpicking community out there with plenty of instructional videos. One could nefariously apply these skills, doesn't make the video producers liable.


To add to this, there's a professional penetration testing industry & similarly their methods could be employed in a malicious nature


Copyright? Although Sega Saturn is a dead system with zero commercial value, the ROM remains copyrighted.


Just a guess: might get some serious attention from Sega's Lawyers if he releases that.


Very unlikely that would happen. Sega generally takes a pretty relaxed view to the emulation community and to my knowledge has never pursued anyone for releasing firmware from their systems.

He does claim legal and professional risks as his reasons in the assemblergames forum thread[0] though.

The ROM is probably under copyright?


I think the biggest giveaway is the low quality content. Two of the biggest Hearthstone streamers are so unfunny and not entertaining at all but still get the top spots.


Oh yeah for sure! I have seen so many people like this. It is pretty obvious when you enter a streamer's channel and it looks like they just started yesterday and have no one talking in chat yet have a couple thousand viewers.


Can Twitch force the defendants to give out information about it's customers?
