Plain HTML isn't so good if you want to include images in your document or have multiple pages. You end up making the user download a whole bunch of files if they want a copy of the document.

The great thing about EPUB is that all the files are bundled together in a single .epub file. You can copy the file and move it around without worrying about keeping the structure intact.

I think that perhaps the main issue currently present with EPUB is that EPUB readers aren't really part of the standard installation on devices. Pretty much every PC or smartphone you come across in the wild will have software installed to view PDFs, but the same isn't the case for EPUB. I think Apple have done a good thing by including an EPUB reader (iBooks) as part of macOS and iOS, but that's not the case for other operating systems.

It might be nice if web browsers could natively act as EPUB viewers, in the same way a number of them natively act as PDF viewers. That way, the user already has an EPUB viewer installed, and they don't have to go and find and install one.

In case there are obese people here who are looking for other options, I found an obscure one that has stabilized my weight 30lbs below where it had been previously. I found that by doing apnea training that freedivers do to increase their breath-hold times, I naturally dropped the weight and it hasn't come back. The exercise itself can be done in 15-20 min per day and is done in either sitting or lying down, so anyone without respiratory issues can do it.

As I understand it from a study [1] that someone here posted the last time I mentioned it, the training changes our body's way of dealing with oxygen. It basically does naturally what happens to athletes that take EPO, though without the dangers of that rightfully-banned substance. That raises the body's basal metabolic rate, which should help in losing weight and keeping it off.

Like most other things weight-loss-related, it's probably not a magic bullet, so YMMV, but my sample size of one resulted in my accidentally losing 20% of my body weight and keeping it off for about a year now.

"Each year we get an update for product X with a few minor changes that makes the new version parts incompatible with the previous year version (maybe not all parts are incompatible).
I noticed this with washing machines, I wanted to buy a similar model with something that I own and they made a different model, redesigned the outside, maybe small changes inside.
I also know that cars get updates each year, some stuff gets changed on the front of the car to look "better" but now under the hood some parts do not fit and need to be moved around and redesigned, then the car needs to be tested again.
I think it would be healthy to launch a product, then in first year(s) analyze the defects your products get, next product would be an evolution that addresses the issues.
I agree if you have new ideas on how to improve your product go ahead and make the new version but don't make a new model of a microwave that is identical with previous one except you changed the shape, moved some buttons and added a gimmick feature.

I don't understand your distinction or the underlying mental model you're using. I don't think of race as a social divide, rather as something that you're born with and can't escape. A social divide can crop up around it, but race in and of itself does not necessarily have to create a divide.

For example, in ancient Rome slavery was widespread, but there was no skin color distinction. Slaves differed from free mostly by clothing. Once they were free, they could change clothes and change their lives. That didn't happen in the US, and as a result skin color discrimination often got written right into the legal code. Such a thing would have been impractical in many regimes in which slavery was practiced.

Of course, the flipside of this is the flipside of Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness - if the cheap boots that fall apart quickly didn't exist, Sam Vimes would not be able to buy boots at all in the first place.

The solution is, of course, to put more people in a position where they can afford to buy the more expensive boots and see the value in doing so.

Considering Kathryn Bigelow, the director of 'the Hurt Locker', also did 'Zero Dark Thirty' in many respects, the non plus ultra C.I.A control and influence over hollywood, the 'Hurt Locker's' critical position is dubious. In fact it's worth noting that the C.I.A is so good at this that they are not beyond putting ostensibly damaging material or arguments in their films in order to refute them at a more fundamental level, or coming around to devour them more completely in some other film. As paranoid and wacky as it sounds, the general project of propaganda is a totality spread across the cultural field...

Finally it's worth noting that with the advent of widespread piracy, we have been forced to pay for our films / entertainment in other ways. A pirated movie still delivers its ideological payload, whether or not it's corporate interest determining the cars that feature in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise or the military industrial complex permitting a flock of Ospreys to feature prominently in a scene ...

Feigning patriotism at a commercial sporting event is not being behind one's troops.

My idea of being behind troops is to not send them into a combat zone for the private interests of politicians, and participating in our democracy by educating oneself and voting.

Instead of calling for a 'ban' on a format by very much subjective reasons, how about calling for publication in multiple formats, so the people have a choice? It is certainly not much more work, and it looks in my humble opinion, professional.
Right. Anyways, money can't be saved for free because production can't be saved for free. If you have long term savings needs, you have to invest with some risk because you'll need extra production enabled by that investment in the future.

Have you been to a middle east hub? There's a specific security section you have to go through to get to the US bound flights - it's a completely different screening process and would be quite easy easy for them to check for laptops and get them checked as luggage.

Besides the facts that it is not a "cryptocurrency", it is an interesting idea. If we already trust so many centralized servers for so many things, why not trust this one for executing smart contracts and acting as a trusted ledger?

> I think you might be over estimating how much the British care about having/not having an empire.

Even if the linked piece is correct (tending to agree somewhat), it is written in a modern context with respect to Brexit. The James Bond novels were created in the early 50's when the empire was still a real thing that was actually breaking up, and before 'multiculturalism' was really a thing in any serious way (see mid 60s-70s-80s for that). Not sure if I agree with the actual point above, but the contexts are certainly different, an adult in early 50's Britain certainly would need to psychologically adjust to a shifting national identity, whether they cared for empire or not..

This is a problem. PDF supports "all". Epub would have to have equivalent support, as well as native support in most/all vanilla OS distributions to be a real competitor for PDF.

For many people this is their phone or tablet. Both of which support PDFs as well (as do many standalone ebook readers). You also don't have to get an extra app to view the PDFs.
I have it set to Caps Lock. GNOME used to (and might still) have a setting for it in its keyboard preferences; I think KDE and Xfce do, too. Otherwise, you can add "setxkbmap -option compose:caps" to your ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc (whichever you're using) or to some other startup script.

Some old Unix workstations actually do have a physical "Compose" key on their keyboards. Alas, I do not have such a keyboard, but it ain't like I use Caps Lock all that much anyway.

It doesn't matter, as the only infrastructure available for refining fissile isotopes is on Earth. Even if you found appropriate ores directly adjacent to the reactor site, they would still have to be shipped back to Earth to turn them into reactor fuel.

You need fully mature steel, aluminum, and electronics industries on Mars before you can think about UF6 centrifuges. The rocket equation just murders any idea anyone might have about shipping any kind of factory-in-a-box to any other rock in the Solar system--except one that takes in the local regolith and produces a copy of itself, or a similar factory-in-a-box with a different combination of inputs and outputs.

You're trying to jump right from putting the ore in at one end, and getting reactor fuel out at the other, but you apparently need at least a North Korea-sized economy inside the black box to do that, and Mars currently has an economy smaller than Sealand. There are no humans on Mars, and the robots currently there don't mine or farm anything in excess of their own immediate needs.

Furthermore, math is not just about proving things. Mathematicians invent the consistent formalisms in which the process of proving takes place, and spot isomorphisms between apparently different ones. They also have a knack for choosing to follow paths that will be fruitful, rather than than lose themselves in a maze of pointless symbol manipulation. AFAIK, no computer has ever taken it upon itself to find a proof of some nontrivial issue in mathematics, let alone do any of the less formal things in mathematics.

Are you sure the ban is in both directions? I'm pretty sure it's only on flights to the US, and what I can find online supports this.

The ban is because authorities believe security at those airports is inadequate to detect a bomb built into a laptop. This implies they believe security at other airports is able to detect such things. If the ban is being lifted for specific airlines, it's because those airlines have security sufficient to detect these laptop bombs (or at least the authorities believe they do).

It is not necessarily the case that every airline at a given airport has the exact same security. It's possible for terminals to be separated and security measures to be enhanced at only one terminal. It's possible for additional security screening to be done at the gate.
Your caveat invalidates your point. Motor vehicles are a big cause of death in many countries.
This is the type of logic that leads to mandatory military parades, the banning of religion as a distraction and "Dear Leader"-style propaganda and mythology. If the military would like to do something in my benefit I request they stop destabilizing the world and causing death for profit instead of glorifying and normalizing it through state-sponsored propaganda.
