Possibly it's the calculated limit of some type of package-handling machinery. Maybe it's more interesting, like the original planned limit was 7kg and somebody in the editorial chain mistakenly thought the conversion rate was 10l

Interesting that all of these seem to work extremely well but none are actually available to end users as an unrestricted product.

From personal experience, people will do anything they are physically capable of doing and think they can get away with. Almost nobody I know has the slightest amount of respect for any private data to which they have access. This extends f

They shouldn't have any bearing. In the real world lawyers and judges are flawed human beings whose decisions are influenced by emotion and impression. If being hungry can drop a judge's parole granting rate from 65% to zero, an

Agreed. Patron-based funding if not necessarily Patreon is the best way of paying for the creation of intellectual works.

Is this terminology I'm not familiar with or are you saying French unions regularly kidnap people?

I don't see how the shipping costs could ever be low enough for that to make sense. Even after my organization's massive UPS discounts, shipping a paperback one state over still costs $4.30. Would you rather spend five bucks to re

Ok, that appears correct. Still, the NEL prompted the suits in the first place and, among other things, proved that when the IA says it cares about the legal rights of publishers and authors it is lying. That's tremendously influential

Whether you agree with the concept of IP or not, it is the law of our lands. The whims of publishers and the law are not going to stop me from format-shifting my content however I please.

I wish Plex or Jellyfin would get support for audiobooks. I can keep my music library on my phone but my audiobook library is much larger and sometimes I get an itch to listen to something I don't have on me.

China the nation stands to gain nothing. Chairman Xi stands to gain, or rather keep , a tremendous amount of power. Taiwan as an independent country flies in the face of party propaganda and official PRC policy.

This is not normal decoupling, we're in a full on economic war. In the short term that's terrible. In the long term, pain now will help minimize pain later when China invade Taiwan and US-China trade drops to zero overnight. It&

I have doubts China is suddenly going to decide to stop its extreme currency manipulation. The question is how quickly it will bite the countries trading in it.

Any discussion system that allows users to hide comments by downvoting them inherently trends toward being an echo chamber. I invite you to voice an unpopular opinion about one of HN's sacred cows and observe how fast it hits -4.

Ok, so they're "shooting for" a performance of 1hp per 1.57 lbs of engine weight. A Toyota Camry engine produces 1hp for every 1.41 lbs of engine weight. It produces 1ft-lb of torque for every 1.94 pounds of engine weight, co

Yep. When that happens without users flagging the comment it doesn't get a [flagged] tag. It's unfortunate, because you can end up temporarily muted from commenting with a history full of nothing but positive-scored unflagged comm
