It's crazy to think we live in a world where video to llm ocr is simpler (and cheaper?) than plain old html parsing. Maybe someone will rebuild the Twitter API like this?!?

It's not exactly that but it's close. It is: the State is always right, you're wrong, and that's that. The reasoning behind it is that "the State" is 66 million people, and you're just one person, so it&#x

One difference among many: the Cour de Cassation does not issue decisions, exactly; it can only hold or break a decision from a lower court. If it chooses to break the lower court's decision (casser=to break) then the case is sent back

No, it's different in many many ways. And there are not just one, but four courts of last resort in France: - Cour de Cassation, for civil matters - Conseil d'État, for matters regarding the administration / the State - Tribu

Ah, ok. I always de-DRM everything automatically (opening books in Calibre does the de-drming). It sometimes happen with the newer systems that newer Kindle books can't be de-drmed, but then I return those immediately. But I'm sur

All my Kindle library is also books side loaded via Calibre (sent to my kindle email address). I have been doing that for years (more than an decade actually) and have never had any book deleted by the device. Is this real?

We should not accept this and react only after each scandal. There needs to be some kind of legal appeal process against "lifetime bans" by companies big and small (but esp. the big ones of course).

The problem is not with tech due diligence. YC can never say enough that they invest in people, that only the people matter, etc. "Founders, Founders, Founders" is YC's answer to Balmer's "Developers, Developers, De
