He's fighting tooth and nail for what he believes in. Anyone who doesn't like that should go build something of their own and fight in the way that they see fit. Why does this apply to Brewster Kahle and not, say, Elon Musk?

Right. If IA wants to spin off a legally-separate "Red Team" of radical activists to demonstrate how ignoring copyright laws enriches us all, I'll be happy to donate. Using the IA for this is reckless and doomed to failure. D

My thinking is that frequent partner The Library of Congress can put a stop to this by buying the Internet Archive. Make it a government body and protect all that digital content. So instead of losing all the copyrighted content piece by

Oh the launch systems and landing systems are fine. I'm referring to plans on building a permanent moon base.

Call me cynical but I think this whole recent moon effort is just busy work so we don't have to work on actually pushing the bounds of human exploration by going for Mars. Way more politically palatable to distribute a few tens of bill

I truly don't understand why anyone would write a program that needs to read any font in your system other than the one(s) it actually uses. The number of times I've stared in utter fucking bewilderment as VLC or some other video

I didn't call it a scam; I just explained why the grandparent comment did.

Too many efficiency losses. Let's compare a BeV and a hydrogen vehicle. starting with a fully renewable source of electricity. For the BeV, we lose 5-6% over transmission lines, 5% of that converting AC to DC, another 5% on losses char

I should've been more specific. The statute is reasonable for young children; this method of enforcing it with AI is not.

Seems reasonable for grade school children but a wild overreach for high schoolers. If you can be exposed to genitals in the school shower you can exposed to sex in a book.

$29/hr is an order of magnitude too expensive for audiobooks.

It has a pressurized hull, a rocket engine, and cold gas maneuvering thrusters. Whether or not you consider an altitude of 85KM to be "space", the vehicle itself is a spacecraft.

I highly recommend anybody who cares about content on Youtube to download the videos you like and maintain local copies. Material is being deleted or hidden faster than ever and Youtube is only going to get more user-hostile over time.

I'm sorry, I think it is you who are confusing cause and effect. You participated in the monopolization of browsers and are suffering the consequences of it. Because of a little convenience. The path to hell is indeed paved with &quot

I wish there was more in this space geared toward audiobooks. There are so many brilliant novels in my collection that never got an audiobook release and it'd be amazing to be able to generate my own.

I dunno about your career but "Suborbital spacecraft pilot" is a much cooler job title than my current one.

all this has accomplished in the last decade is a decrease in market share You are confusing cause and effect. We've been saying the same things as we watch Mozilla slowly strangle Firefox to death for a decade. That said, this is gr

The inspirational effect on people in general and particularly kids is not to be discounted. If you want the next generation of scientists, you have to give them something to dream about. These launches are more than worth it.

I keep a couple of m-discs in my gun safe encrypted with a password most of my family knows, but they don't know the safe combination. If I kick the bucket they can cut the hinges off in a few minutes with my angle grinder. They could

Terrible shame. CNET reviews were like going shopping in a technology wonderland when I was a kid. I wonder if they're going to erase James Kim's body of work as well. That would be a shame.

I don't think I'll ever forgive Microsoft for what they did to Rare. The reorganization in 2010 put the writing on the wall but it was the decade being forced to make stupid, pointless Kinect games nobody played that really buried

Title should be changed to "Instantly Turn 12% of PCs into a gaming console" because that's what fraction of the GPU market AMD has.

The older I get the more I think we need a constitutional amendment saying the monetary fine for lawbreaking must exceed the profit gained by the lawbreaking.

I see vigilance when it comes to applying the same standards of evidence to people you agree with and people you don't as an important part of being a functional human being. Once you get emotionally attached to your conclusions you&#x

I agree with the thesis of the article but it sure is using a lot of dodgy language to get around making statements of fact to back it up. 36 of the small honors college’s approximately 100 full-time teaching positions were vacant. Orphan

described the camera performance as OK at best, if not subpar, with low-light performance being a common complaint. It greatly amuses me that this usage scenario requires the user to wear sunglasses in the dark.

Also people who don't do all their driving in the city. That 250-mile battery shrinks a lot when your whole trip is at 80mph.

Then they should pay me rental fees in compensation for electricity I have to purchase to haul their hardware around.
