No, the uploader of each image can decide on any free license they want, and some people choose public domain.

I do not believe that it would be stable. The proton would convert to a neutron and release an electron. If it were stable for the neutron star to have protons in or on it, then it would already have some.

Religion tends to make people more sure about things that they don't really know for sure. In my mind that has always struck me as an obstacle to being a good scientist. Appreciating that there are unknowns is exactly what gets a lot o

It has always struck me as odd that when this example is recited, the animal of choice is always a tiger. The situation is supposed to play out in very early prehistory during the evolution of humanity. That evolution occurred in the savann

While all of what you said is technically true, you left out the fact that Tor sites are majority about illegal activity, such as hiring assassins, ordering forged identity documents, and buying and selling controlled substances. I'm a

I agree with you, although I wonder how we found the great fascinating wild websites before search engines even existed. I remember “web rings” but I don't think that's the whole story.

You can't mute ads? On what browser? In Firefox Ctrl+M mutes the current tab and there's nothing YouTube can do about it.

It's unfortunate that some loud and rude people have put you off of contributing to free software. On behalf of the open-source community, I am sorry. If it's any consolation, the prevailing attitude in open source is that nobody

There's no reason people can't make 30 seconds-long videos. Your crochet/knitting use-case sounds perfect! The problem is with how YouTube treats short videos as its own thing, expects them to be in vertical video format (bec

This is such egocentric/selfish thinking. I wish to live in a society which “pours” adequate sums of money into developing things for the benefit of all, not leaving it up to individuals like you who are in it only to benefit themselve
