> The is no reason to remove them. The 18 eBooks are all in the public domain in the US, and have been for many years. Copyright status in another country is not relevant to the legitimate ability of Project Gutenberg -- or anyone/anything in the US -- to make any use of these books.

Suppose a country X existed which doesn't honor US copyrights at all. By symmetry, it seems that Project Gutenberg would approve of a website hosted entirely in country X, offering full texts of all publications by US authors, up to the present day, for download by anyone in the world, including in the US.

I do realize that PG is under no obligation to have an opinion on any such hypothetical circumstance. But nevertheless, that seems to be the implication. Are they really so anarchic? Or do they just think US copyright laws are more important than everyone else's?

Full frame sensor has almost 4x the area of a m4/3 sensor. It seems a little hyperbolic to describe the difference as merely sacrificing low-light sensitivity; noise is also a big difference with the smaller sensor "pixels", surely?

A side-note: Statistical classification is machine learning, which is a subset of AI. Or atleast, was a subset of AI when it was classified itself. Machine learning has a lot of overlap with artificial intelligence, and statistical classification is, pedantically, AI. On a more general note, AI is an extremely broad field and -- I am assuming this is where you're coming from -- is not limited to the whole General/Narrow/Vertical/Foo/Baz/Bar jumble mumble.
The court decision in question, in part, says,

"The defendants are ordered, on penalty of an administrative fine of up to EUR
250,000.00 or, alternatively, imprisonment of up to 6 months, for each case of non-
compliance, said imprisonment to be imposed on the second defendant,
to cease and desist from making the following works publicly available or letting them be
made publicly available, namely:..."

The court has not ordered the site blocked, but the texts in question taken down.

One issue I see with this is custom browsers (e.g. Chrome). Since the only Apple-sanctioned way to implement a custom browser on iOS is WKWebView, there would need to be an exception for browsers. And then Facebook (and all the others) would just create their "Facebook Browser" apps, which the main app would redirect you to when you click a link.

Personally I wouldn't mind if Apple just killed off WKWebView altogether, but some people do rely on 3rd party browsers

Though often at lower resolutions/fps/color than the SD/CF, so maybe there's a bandwidth limitation there too?

I think there's also some "antifeatures" involved; artificially limiting that ability on cameras that cost less than $5k to avoid disrupting the expensive "cinema video camera" market. Of course custom firmware can sometimes help with that.

Making the car more aggressive is not rocket science. The trouble is that this is where the safety benefit of self-driving cars will start to diminish. If you watch Chris Urmson's 2016 presentation at SXSW, he tells that the only accident Waymo had on a public road was when their car tried to push in front of a bus.

I'd love to be a janitor. You can clock out after 8 hours of work, and if you don't someone is paying you time and a half. Being a software engineer is a shit job because people expect you to "give it your all" which usually means spending all your time in the office.

I'm leaving my current company because they expected me to cancel planned trips, vacations, and time with friends simply because they can't plan anything. And management was openly resentful when I wouldn't. My twenties and thirties are the best years of my life and if you won't let me have them I'll find someone who will.
"Our field changes constantly, so if you stop coding for one moment, technology may pass you up."

In my view you can easily skip a few generations and nothing is lost. Its not hard to catch up if you actually want to. And if you work on something worthwhile for a while you most likely will rely on mature stuff that works. Chasing the latest tech all the time seems a suckers game. Spend your time on doing something well instead.

> But when there is jurisdiction, a country can take offensive action.

That isn't what jurisdiction means. You're describing the digital equivalent of covert operations in a foreign country.

> Without it, the only logical way to protect your population is to erect deep-scanning firewalls and abolishing free traffic across national networks, much like China and Iran are doing.

It would work perfectly well to publish free open source scanning software and allow your citizens to voluntarily use it if they want to be "protected" from such things.

Unless your citizens are the perpetrators rather than the victims, but in that case you haven't got a jurisdictional problem.
Yes, but what was in it for Vitallium? Continue working thanklessly on a project to serve others’ needs, who has a whole will leave en masse as soon as headless chrome gets to parity with proxy support?
Sounds a lot like the urban legend I read years (and years) ago, about the son of a Porsche dealer who dropped a Porsche Spyder engine into a Volkswagon Bug. According to the story, he had a lot of fun rolling up next to muscle cars at stop lights, and then watching them disappear in his rear view mirror.
I think that someone could write a very reasonable sounding evolutionary psychology article about why the guiding hand of natural selection intervened and stopped cousin marriage due to higher rates of genetic abnormalities. However, in this case they'd be wrong in that the Catholic Church intervened directly and conciously and put a stop to cousin marriage.

Finding out that a phenomenon is not due to evolutionary psychology requires careful historical research and that's hard work. Making up evolutionary psychology ideas though takes no time and can make for a great clickbait article.
What is a "German book"? A book in German? A book "owned" by a German?

Are you comfortable having United States laws apply to you because you are using a "United States web site" in English? (Actually, the latter doesn't matter; the US doesn't have an official language.)
Thanks, I'll try next time.

The sea of gray I see lately doesn't feel right.
But aren't the major airports already saturated at the capacity that their runways can handle?
That's in the article. In the US, the copyright term (for the relevant period) was the date they were published plus n years. In (most of) Europe, it's the life of the author plus n years.

So for a book published 50 years before the author died, the term expires in the US long before it does in (most of) Europe.

(This has since changed in the US, but did not apply retroactively. So published+n still applies to works published before the change to life+n)
I think hyphenation is more of a hack that good line breaking can generally avoid.
Here in Lithuania that is true for the majority of people who don’t have money, however those that do and ‘new money’ are much more concerned with material wealth than those from more Western countries IMO.

I was working in Rome a few years ago and people there are very practical with cars, they are small and cheap.

On the other hand here they are very much status symbols. People like to drive big and powerful German cars - you would never see someone driving a Fiat Cinquecento, even though they are much more appropriate for wages here.
Call me naive but I read the article as consequences of acute human expansion. Virtually every example was followed by explanations along the lines of “man made canals, irrigation, mining...”

I really think technology and better civil planning will be the way to fix these problems. Technology will cause the cost of renewable energy to trend towards zero while better civil planning will apply that energy to pump water from oceans to where it is needed by people. Eventually there will be success stories that will be copied around the world. Israel has had considerable success in water conservation and is considering replenishing the Dead Sea via canals.

If we can build oil pipelines from Canada to Texas eventually there will be a model that says we can build water pipelines from the pacific north west to Phoenix and Las Vegas. Governments around the world will either do something along these lines or they will not. Surely some will. Those that do will still be here long into the future, those that don’t will not.

Admittedly I've never met a potentially dateable person that makes what I make. So I'm extrapolating from the rest of the data set. The stats say nearly 40% of households have women being the primary breadwinner. I personally do not know any of those 40% of households. Every single friend, extended family, etc. the woman has married up financially. I've personally heard at least a half dozen women make a derogatory comment about men they went on a date with because he made less money than them. Perhaps it's just my generation and this is really old news for younger people, but the culture does not seem to have caught up to rationality in my experience.
I don't think there is any secret answer other than you choose to do it, modern philosophers notwithstanding, you have free will. Translating your ideas and theories in into practical action is part of being human but I suppose that it is natural to stress the theoretical because it feels safer, more controllable, etc. They call this analysis paralysis in the business schools. Taking consistent action toward a goal is fraught with new challenges and the need for new skills that will push you out of your comfort zone. After a certain age many people try to avoid it.

In any case, it sounds like you are making a lot of progress in a positive direction in your life but mostly by removing negatives instead of achieving positives. Nothing wrong with that and given your context that is where you needed to start. But the process doesn't stop there, eventually you'll run out of negatives to remove and have to start thinking about actual positive achievements in your career or personal life. This might be the step that caused you to flame out before so you might want to consider what you really value and what you want to do with your life in terms of positives[1]. As a fellow dropout I know the state of not feeling "ready" once you are on the school/work/career/family path but now that you are presumably older, wiser and more mature things have changed so figure it out.

The excess risk of defects etc is about 2%. That's a lot! That is many thousands of kids that are suffering unnecessarily. If the governments in cousin marriage permissive countries actually had to pay the cost of looking after these disabled people, cousin marriage would be out the door very quickly.

There was also a study looking at the genomes of a large consanguineous pedigree. The amount of pathogenic genome changes seen was shocking, amazing that the phenotypes were normal or mild... that is a gift you will pass on to all your descendants.
> Our current 'arrive two hours early'

This. Considering about 800 million passengers per year in US, that's 800 million extra hours of awake human that the additional hour to handle security requirements suck up. Considering a 79 year lifespan per human (totaling 461360 awake hours), that's around 1734 human lives wasted per year in US. 9/11 only killed 2996 people, of average age 40, so roughtly could be said that the extra hour of airport security in US costs a 9/11 every year. (I'll admit, maybe people having a friendly chat in the secutiry line or otherwise enjoy the extra time in the airport terminal, so not exactly apples-to-apples comparison).
Oh, absolutely agreed with that. I'm against Imaginary Property anyway. And I do get upset every time American companies enforce their copyrights :)

The Berne Convention is a treaty and doesn't work that way. (IIRC, it defines the periods in question; by putting the treaty, Germany is obligated to honor the (BC) copyrights on US-copyrighted works, but can apply its own to German copyrighted works.)

The US would not ratify a treaty that works the way you describe. One hopes.
Splendid, I really appreciate your taking the time to formulate a response -- it's very interesting to consider a metaphysical or Platonic realm where maths, although it may not exist in isolation, ends up arriving at the same points and valleys and landscapes and landforms time and time again. That is actually quite peculiar, the regularity with which mathematics works. I spent some time at the end of my university studies [the first go-round] trying to understand how we as humans came to discover multiplication and division. There are many possible operations we can do on numbers but only some yield a useful symmetry whereas others result in a jumbled chaos.

A close friend of mine refers to humans as "symbol makers" and I hold firmly that everything in the flow of life is meaningful, but it's really astounding that we can filter out useful patterns from our surroundings. Your point alludes to me in a similar way the beauty of a leaf or a tree: it's been speculated and suggested that over many millennia our sensory systems (namely sight) have tuned in and honed in on being able to find tasty ripe fruits and berries (why they may appear red and bright or purple and bright when in full ripeness and before ruin .. to pilfer an Alt-J lyric).

In that way, perhaps maths is some sort of tree or leaf or forest that is naturally existent, not actually separate from the earth or the forest or the consciousness of man, but still somehow a useful set of patterns our [mind] intellect-sense has been able to pick out and find the tasty and juicy bits of.

One very fascinating part of the whole narrative of mathematics is Progress. For example, Kepler and his assistant's calculated observations of the planets, mathematicians dedicating their lives to figuring out n-many decimal places of logarithms and creating reference books, and also equations and derivations. Although maths may somehow "exist" naturally because a set of equations or a set of inferences or physical phenomena may have a mathematical representation, they still need to be discovered (and often re-discovered) to stick around and be of any use to us. To me it still echoes of the personal mission of understanding and critical thinking -- one must come to the solution on their own and verify it in their personal experience to truly feel it and know it to be truthful.

Would you categorize maths as more of an invention or as a discovery? Pure discovery would imply that maths exists on its own like a tree does (or "might" if we consider that a perceiving consciousness must also be part of the 'tree'). Whereas, an invention is something deliberately put together to solve a functional need in the life of man.
> view-source should always represent any non-redirected HTTP response

Not the grandfather, but generally in browsers you have two versions of HTML "source" - the canonical source, the stuff pulled down over HTTP, and the repaired source, the version that actually gets rendered.

I'm unfamiliar with Nokogiri, but I suspect that from context, it doesn't repair HTML in the same way that browsers do.
Let's not forget that Amazon Prime has gotten worse with longer delivery periods even when they say it's 2 days. It has been coming later. And this is outside the holidays.
For me it was this simple: Because you can cross everything off your bucket list—climb the highest mountains, sail across the ocean, become rich and famous, whatever—but you’ll forever miss out on countless other milestones and experiences if you never raise a child. IMHO, a bucket list that doesn’t include kids will always be a bucket list that is half empty.

Show HN: SaaS.Domains – A silly side project idea I launched in under 2 hours
In the worst case yes, since that might change the number of words that fit in that line, and that would mean exchanging words with the line before or after that, leading to a cascading effect.

However, you might find that many of the old linebreaks can stay as they are, so I'd expect reflowing to be faster in practice.
jsdom is an impressive achievement, but it may not be what you want depending on what you’re trying to do. It doesn’t mimic the behavior of browsers well in a number of regards, so it will let you do things that real browsers don’t allow. If you’re doing integration-type testing that can lead to tests that pass but functionality that fails in real browsers.

The JSON was encoded (quotes and brackets were both HTML encoded) and couldn't reliably be parsed, or at least not in a way I was satisfied with. Rendering the HTML and actually building out the page as it would normally be rendered and using the parser that I already had built made way more sense. And, at the time, Phantom was the best option I could find for it.

Have you ever been the subject of someone calling your work sh*t? The thing about using such inflammatory language as Linus does is that from the outside, you could say "he's criticizing your work, not you", but if it is directed at you, it's inevitable that you take it personally. It's not passion that makes him make others feel insignificant--it's who he is. It should be possible to be "extremely critical of the code he reviews" without the kind of vitriol that he's comfortable spewing.
