I don’t think you can copyright a color, per se. You can trademark certain uses of color in certain schemes. For example, the walmart smiley is trademarked, but they can’t go after people just using a yellow smiley. or like, Checker Cabs, with their yellow and black livery. (as mentioned elsewhere, the pantone colorset is trademarked.

Further, you can get patents for pigments- specifically, their production methods, and how they get bound into a solvent or whatever. For an example here- Vanta Black. If someone were to get their hands on some second hand, the people that make it can’t stop them from using it, but they could go after another company producing it the same way they do.

Copyright protections are for works of art (or other works, eh.), and while there are plenty of monochrome works, part of what makes “art” … “art” is composition. For example, in the sampling of monochrome, that first one is a blue panel set inside a white frame. Others, you see the single color is composed of texture. (the Yves Klien painting, for example.) Or, like Gerhard Ricther’s solid gray which was expressly intended to convey… nothing (A lack of emotion or feeling, etc.)

But all of these are more than just the color they’re painted in.

No shit, fuckers.

Pretty sure it has t stopped, neither.

What a fucked up world trump is making.

I was going to ask “da fuck” but, eh, realized that might lead to uncomfortable explanations.

you’re probably right about it being more confusing. or maybe disturbing and unsettling.

… … … dahell?

This fucking turd needs to get flushed already.

pretty sure they’ve tossed the bar into the bottom of the latrine, at this point.

The thing is, she’d do it again. she has no right to be surprised. he made it very clear what he was going to do, and how he was going to do it.

naw. as far as I can tell, she only regrets it because it affected her. no lessons learned.

She expected better? I expected better of her. dumbass.

I hope these assholes catch a preventable disease and die a slow, debilitating, and agonizing death.

if it’s not aligned properly, it should shut off to prevent that from happening. (or, for example, if you place something else that’s metal over it.)

it shouldn’t.

There shouldn’t be any heat at all from the signal passing through the plastic (It’s basically transparent to RF’s,). The heat mostly comes from the RF interacting with the metal in the receiving antenna and inducing an electric current.

stupid question.

if a judge were to be the subject of an executive order… could that judge block that executive order, too?

Asking before a friend needs to block an executive order…

Exploiting means exactly what it means.

Once they have the scan, that’s their data. Of course they’re going to be using it for other things. The excuses they give, are of course, the foot in the door.

It’s a “bit rich” that you think you’re not the product.

it’s interesting that you added a qualifier that I did not, to justify calling my statement “misinformation”

they are scanning your data. and while they may not be exploiting it for ad-targeting… they are almost certainly exploiting it. That’s their business model: Scrape every ounce of data they can and exploit it every which way they can.

They should have revoked his entry rights and then deported him someplace unfriendly.

Well, maybe they shouldn’t have. but it’s what I’d have done.

How’s the realtime traffic on those? I’m currently using magic earth and the routing is mostly okay compared to GMaps, but the traffic data is frequently stale.

They’re scanning the email contents.

and your google drive contents.

and everything else you send through their services.
