The vision of computer-supported and -verified proofs of maths was old when i studied. And I'm old nowadays - or, at least, not young anymore. There has been some progress in the last couple of decades, but not so much that you'

That depends on (1) whether future arbitration cases are guaranteed the same outcome as those already settled, and (2) whether this outcome becomes as generally known amongst victims as a class action lawsuit would be. Lastly: I'm not

It's about the international reaction, not (only) about the outcome of the fighting itself. China can see the price the intensional community levies upon a war now, and, in case Russia accidentally wins, they can also see the price of

I'm not sure what you mean with "culturally significant public adoption". Whatever the definition, I'd probably argue that the movie The Matrix succeeded, even though it's still under copyright. That is: long copy

That actually makes some sense of this situation. Not saying it's an okay ruling, mind you. But I can understand why the court arrived at this ruling. Namely: - Artist: hey, that violates my copyright! - court: okay, what was copied t

True. Moreover, even if a site implemented this in a naive way, they made the UX much worse for the attacker. And that constitutes a significant issue, if we follow the reasoning of the article. It does, actually: it hampers casual attac
