Scientific American has a high res version of olaus Magnus carta marina, so you can see all those pesky (sea) monsters up close ;)
...at least you can get a copy of your data through a GDPR request...
...so well defined that famous art posted by museums now gets blocked by over-eager bots and moderators...
Nice, didn't know that detail, always something new, thx.
True, just thought it might give some insight into recent pain points, Gilmore's email at the eff is gnu after all :)
Perhaps this is relevant although it is about the fsf(clarification added after comments):
https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/16/glibc_gnulib_fsf_copy...The glibc stewards are seeking input from developers to decide if the project should relax the requirement to assign copyright for all changes to the Free Software Foundation,"
I do not, and have never, had an assignment in place (it's a running joke that my patch contributions have been all-minus-signs)," wrote glibc contributor Rich Felker, "but given recent behaviour by the FSF board, I am completely unwilling to assign copyright to them in the future, so not making this change may affect my ability to contribute.
...not eye to eye with Gilmore? Thanks for gnu tar, liberating bsd, parts of gnu make, gbd, curating binutils and gcc with Cygnus, helping in the crypto wars, frees/wan, boots, gnu radio, one laptop per child... so it might be hard to be eye to eye me thinks...
It does not bode well for the new walled gardens when art's place online is on onlyfans... is this something we want?
...as a historian I agree ;)
... it's basically the Thiel way of doing things... Competition is for losers, monopolies are fine, local situation does not concern, extracting wealth is key, even if we destroy the local ecosystem in the process... makes me optimistic for any eco change chance we might still have...
...so that's how you get a lot of work for nothing... people, please never sign something without at least clearly stating what you think it means. A sneaky way is printing the document and sending it back together with a statement of how you interprete it - best on the page you should sign... A simple (see email 211007) below your signature often is enough... if you did not sign on paper but just by clicking some buttons, your position is even better, especially if you are in a non us legislation and there is no translation...
Thank you for the great article. I would argue, that a lot of the negative side effects you discuss vary due to the country you live in.
Countries who do have achieved a working balance between eco, social and market- economy (some in Europe or Asia) suffer, as platforms like Facebook attack their foundations - a bit like a trojan horse - offering a neutral platform for products and ideas often not subject to the laws, taxes and regulations that make the balance work ...
Thx - some good points made here!
good point - you are basically arguing against extravagant alternatives that would break the flow of conversation as people are so cute sed to seeing and taking business cards - what I fear is that the automatic reaction continues after a meeting by dumping them all ...

from the ask-hn dept.
Recently I had to decide if we would be using traditional paper business cards or something different (and perhaps even eco friendly). It seems that in Europe and especially parts of Asia people still expect business cards and not alternatives... some we thought of were:Card with info printed on but also on nf and as a qr code (or with fancy conductive ink)Goodies like USB Sticks/cards with pre...
...while we're at it, if we are taxing senders why not also finally put a cost on metadata and user data e.g. by a fee that gets sent to a copyright collective... "little" basic income there we go ;)
Entrepreneurs sold off supplies and want importers to offer more for cheap...
...this is not what happened - Russia did deliver on time and the reserves were sold off. Now those same people cry wolf and want Exporters to offer more for cheap...
...actually there should be no shortage... It's the invisible hand of the market... it was just that those who should have stored gas for winter use sold it of because of demand and prices- and are now trying to pressure Exporters to offer additional gas for cheap to fill up their tanks again... and yes, with North Stream 2 completed, Russia could benefit from this, too...
So through gas market liberalisation it got very difficult to keep reserves against the will of entrepreneurs, who decided that their profit is more important than freezing EU citizens. Now they want to distract from that by blaming Exporters and mainly Russia, who delivered on time and the agreed upon amount, for not offering more cheap gas under market value... Peak Capitalism ftw
...interesting approach, but how would you do it with the beautiful chaos kids and family bring into any plan? Would really like to hear from people who did this...
...only years late but better late than never... there is a lot of research, eh by Giesecke or Eisenstein, that is decades old..
the question has already been answered multiple times... and has been ignored as often... yes!
The weak copyright protections especially in contrast to GB, where there were strict and centralized rules in early modern Europe is a first indicator, this only intensified in the later centuries leading to piracy making information affordable - thus preparing a whole population for industrial production...
...possibly... but the discovery phase, witness testimony and and and ... would have more effect than a simple secrecy clause in any us court...
The US Govt under Espionage and Computer Crime law (Germany ex officio), possibly breach of int treaties (FCN treaties, Germany) and ECHR for individual violations (individuals)...
...why sue in the US? Wikimedia Germany would have been much better...
