I'm in my sixties "change my mind" is hard sometimes.

- So Gutenberg and the internet archive could monetise click through links or an affiliate program? No disrespect intended, if this meant we could fund them with Amazon pitching in some vig I'd think about it. Mind you, they'd probably make more with direct donation per person, but Amazon could drive many multiples more via the store.
- I think the sentiment of the headline statement is off. What you expect a CEO to say is "OBVIOUSLY the one thing which is completely off the table, because of it's lack of alignment with our mission and vision..."
Instead of which he inverts it "we'd get like $150m if we did this thing we won't do because well.. we haven't decided to." with the implicit "... yet"
And I agree with comments below: he discounts risk side loss of income because of people walking away.
- sure. picking a good passphrase is pretty vital.
- Any time a proposal to put PRIVATE keys into a portable object is raised, I hope to see discussion of the risks.
This is extremely risky for the integrity of the remote copy. If the key is compromised (USB stick lost or acquired by a bad faith actor) then the remote repository is untrustable.
I suppose this is no different to normal keyloss, and some people maintain their keys on removable devices and are exposed to this loss, if the device does not have additional protections.
If it's not a bare (private) key, I suppose then it comes down to the ssh-agent chain over that key, and the strength of your wrapper protection.
- I very much hope the UK sticks to it's guns. Horse trading on un-related issues like steel, food security and hygiene for market access to IT is insanely bad politics. Better to wait 3 years and a rapprochement on saner grounds is likely.
QC and AI aren't worth selling the farm for.
- Anyone who could sustain a friendship with F.R. Leavis has stories to tell. I only know of him by repute, but from talking to people who had major roadblocks on their career as a result of the ructions in English Criticism from Leavis' effect on the community at large, I suspect this was a delicate balancing act.
- A rare instance where really, only the video will work. And thank you for posting this, I've seen many, but not seen HOW for many.
- Australia. The land of the VPN nowadays.
- How do the courts view changes to contract after suit filed? If the primary focus is remediation or correction, they've probably met the goal. if the primary purpose of the suit is the stated outcome (taking ownership of the trademark, or nullifying its exclusivity), then this reaction won't alter the basis of argument before the change, since it's only a reaction to change, not an actual evident use of the IPR and it's value.
If you drop something valuable in a legal domain where after 3 months it's finders keepers it doesn't magically become yours again because you said "not like that" basically.
OTOH if there is no legal domain with an N month rule, you can say "thats mine" forever.
"we didn't mean to let thermos become a generic" wasn't really a workable argument.
(NAL. probably using words in ways which make Lawyers wince)
- Seems fair.
- If more people were obligated to undergo KYC to get posting rights, Less people would be able to objectively claim to be other than they are.
If more channels were subject to moderation, and moderators incurred penalty for their failure, channels would be significantly more circumspect in what they permitted to be said.
Free speech reductionists: Not interested.
- Just tell people you're a mathematician in a logician's role. They'll assume you're a maths teacher, doing amateur magic to make money.
- I certainly bought the ancient remedy story. Getting wised up doesn't diminish the amazing work done with willow, and chinchona bark. Obrien writes of 'jesuits bark' a lot in his naval fiction, makes me wonder now how much the Georgian british navy did actually use this kind of thing for fever reduction.
On the whole, I'm going to give blowing willow smoke up my Anus a miss, if that's ok.
- I know quite a few non-tech firefox users. None of them want the AI integration. I am wary of confirmation bias, but I feel this is one of those simpsons headmaster meme moments: Am I wrong? No, I am right! the users are wrong! the users want me to spend millions developing AI for firefox instead of all the other things.
- I tend to think kindle is an anathema but I also think I'm heavily invested in their product, and so is a lot of the world.
Being able to strip drm is good. But, it's stepwise refinement warfare. In the meantime, being able to run a copy of the Google Android kindle reader, and obtain a valid licence-to-read key is useful. I'm not disparaging calibre or apprentice Alf, I'm just pointing out the more compliant path also exists.
That's what boox does. It's clear android can do this. I suppose what I'm asking is can these debian style OS run enough emulation/compatibility libraries to run an Android kindle app?
- Let me ask you this: when trained scientists from {other economy} arrive in the US, do you ask yourself why? Is it of necessity because {other economy} is "worse" and US is "better" or can it be personal, unrelated, case-by-case?
What is a natural, good flow for people between economies in this instance? is it zero or 100% where along this arc does it lie, and why?
- The certification serves different purposes. It might feel like a symmetric arrangement but it isn't. On the whole i think implementing this split is sensible.
I might add I've changed my mind a bit on this.
- Could this not be said for almost any computing system? I think "<x> is it's own worst enemy" has probably been said of everything from assembler to proof languages with hardware in-between.
Tiny things can have huge impact. Maybe microcontrollers and defective cell isolation methods remediate for this.
Or, maybe it was never true?
