Nah, no CI workflow, I generate locally. Creating the site was just pip install pelican; git init . ; pelican-quickstart; vim pelicanconf.py # to set the theme Then to publish: pelican . && git add -A && git comm

Not really, you can just easily switch to another solution, like B2+Cloudflare, which costs pennies.

> infinitely cheaper It's actually the opposite. Static site hosting is so much easier to optimize, that it costs just few cents a month, if anything at all (I never went beyond Netlify's free plan).

Seems simple enough? They only have stuff they use, and they use them until it becomes unusable. I'm frankly much the same, I don't buy new things often and I repair them (or have them repaired, for clothes and shoes) until they s

Isn't Craigslist/OLX/Facebook Market the monetized version of this?

I'm not even American and followed the events with idle curiosity, and I already know her name is Babbitt. NPR, The Guardian, NYTimes, etc all have headlines with it.

Bitcoin is not that small a slice nowadays, though. Estimates put it higher than Las Vegas.

Isn't DSL considered "broadband internet" nevertheless, though?

Agreed, let's have fewer laws. Let's abolish the DMCA and copyright protection.

Starting a company doesn't make one rich. There's no evidence he had any significant money to spend. In fact, it's likely the founders got nothing after the VCs were paid off.

Oral sharing has been the human way of transmitting stories for tens of thousands of years. Your newfangled "written books" are just a novelty :)

I agree. I guess what's missing is some coordination mechanism for the "contact the author and get a commercial license" part. If it's one author it's easy, but if it's eighty, it's hard to contact each ev

The problem with dual-licensing is that it impedes collaboration. If one contributes a big feature, shouldn't they also get some cash from those sales? If so, who decides how much?

Apple writes software mostly for distribution, so the license affects them heavily. It might not be enough for companies that run the software on their servers and just offer it as a service.

Sorry, can you define each word you've used in your post?

Why? I see very few use cases for this requirement. For example, my banking app lets me take a picture for only one purpose: OCR'ing payment info, instead of manually inputting it. But I usually get these as pictures from other people!

I think there's a difference between regulations controlling externalities, or protecting the dispossessed, and protecting people from phones that don't have certain games. Do you not?

I'd say Day One does have an API, it just uses SMTP instead of HTTP. And from what I can tell, Shortcuts can send emails...

In fact, it's part of the license they tell you that the contributions are made under (CC BY-SA), hence it's not even legal.

by icebraining 6y ago
It did promise to attribute the contributions, since they are licensed under CC BY-SA.

First-sale doctrine doesn't allow you to impersonate other companies. Nobody is saying Grubhub can't resell meals, they just have to be clear it's them who are doing the selling.

by icebraining 6y ago
I don't get it, how would the restaurant be losing money from this behaviour? Isn't Grubhub paying the regular takeout price, same as if you order it yourself?

Not sure :) but I also get a feeling of uneasiness, particularly after reading the site. There's a sense of commodification of our personal lives. Like a Hallmark card, except the company also gets a copy of the private section. That s

Right, but 17 USC§117 only applies to programs, not video. Who provides me the license to copy the video from the buffer of the network card to main RAM, and then to GPU ram, and then to my screen?
