I am not a lawyer, but my impression is that the distinction is important. If you can demonstrate that those links were chosen because there were no viable links that were free of copyright, rather than to encourage users to pirate things,

I'm curious if there's data to back that up. I would be unsurprised if it's true. The reality that DDG is going to have is that search is almost inherently personal, as an artifact of the imprecision of language and the lack

It does have legal precedent. There's some spat with a color that's copyrighted (related to vantablack iirc) and the copyright specifically says that the other person is the only person who does not have the right to use the color

That sounds like an awful lot of work to not send NTP requests over WiFi. Then again, I'm sure someone will inevitably find a way to make these things spray ice cream everywhere over WiFi if they do. Or worse, mess with the internal

Are perpetual stews sanitary? I'm probably misjudging, but the idea of anything being out in the open for that long makes me uneasy. I guess it's kept at a simmer, so bacteria can't grow?

Their tech stack is far more bleeding edge than I would have envisioned. I wish they gave an idea of why they chose to use k8s at the edge. I can see how containers are useful for deployment, and the fail-over built into Kubernetes is rea

Yeah, having done this, it's extremely verbose if you have all your error handling in there due to the verbosity of dealing with JSON and explicit return values instead of exceptions. By far my greatest annoyance is that []interface{}

Long form answers (and college courses in general) are graded relative to your peers, whereas certificates aren't, which creates a huge difference. Even long form answers that aren't actually bell curved at the end, the person gr

There's a growing sentiment that degrees are the same; it's certainly not the prevailing view. One part, in my view, is the exceptionally temporary nature of a certificate. A degree typically teaches things that are fairly static

I would be extremely surprised if the CRFA applied to competitors (or generally to corporations). The first word is "consumer", and competitors are generally not consumers of each other's products. If you are correct though,

Hypothetically they only eat that loss once,though. The subsequent rentals/loaners would have much, much lower depreciation. It would have to come with the understanding that you aren't meant to purchase the exact car you rented,

You need really high reliability for that; if those endpoints go down, none of your customers' phones will connect to wifi until you fix them. People would be extremely upset they thought they were on wifi but they were really blowing

I interpret it as an adjective; there are already a variety of alternative burgers such as chicken or turkey burgers. They're typically meat, but I guess I've never assumed they had to be; just that most plant-based sandwiches ar

It has to do with interchangeable goods. Typically, only interchangeable goods are in competition. I.e. if I want paper towels, I can buy Brawny or I can buy the store brand. I may have a preference towards one or the other based on pric

They will need a way to migrate users between servers then. If your local feed is important, it's not a great plan to have users start on a suboptimal server and then have to make a new account on the one they want. If that's th

I think the implication they were trying to make is that the school library doesn't have any computers, so students can't use the library computers if they don't have one at home. If I'm wrong and they truly don't h

The portability aspect seems overstated, or perhaps your use cases are just different. I can already log in to any server with my custom configs; Ansible is what configures my user already, so I just have it dump out my configs. If I can ac

e(5) of Section 230 is a specific carve out that the protections don't apply to sex trafficking content. I believe they used that to argue that Backpage wasn't protected by section 230.

I believe those changes are tracked, there are commands that will tell you what package a file is from (I think it might be apt-file). It's been a while since I used apt in depth, but I do know that pacman tracks that and will log err
