Legally, even running a program is making a copy (from disk to RAM): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAI_Systems_Corp._v._Peak_Comp... . I think the question is whether the license YouTube implicitly provides to copy so o

PDF files are an ISO standard (including the digital signing part), so that should be fine.

Interesting idea! I found Peep[1], but seems the links are dead. Still, that led me to [2] and then [3], though none implement exactly that approach. [1] https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proc

People in Europe travel between countries a lot. Luxembourg has high-speed rail with a single stop!

Can't say I blame python or even the library; why is the code even trying to convert every string in an object, instead of just the keys that are supposed to contain dates?! Seems like a poor hack, imho.

No, a newspaper is impossible to fake, because you can't predict the headlines that will come out that day.

They say he wasn't conscious for the first couple of years. So even if they tried at the beginning, they wouldn't have got anything, and then they just assumed he wasn't conscious.

A phone is just a computer, just like any other device. What do you have specifically against it? You can just keep it turned off except when you need to use it for 2FA.

Running it on the same machine would defeat much of the purpose. A better idea is to just turn it on for 2FA, then turn it off again.

I wish people would stop smoking. But since they likely won't, I feel the obligation to fund lung cancer research, to help the future cancer patients. I wish people would stop having children. But since they likely won't, I feel t

Humanity is likely to decide continue having kids regardless of what I feel about it, and since I care about humans, I feel the obligation to protect those kids and their descendants. And similarly for other species.

by icebraining 6y ago
I also think it's stupid to resent parents; they need the time for the kids, who aren't at fault in any of this. That said, why do you assume we all care about having a future society? Frankly I only care about existing humans. Th

The display I used (Samsung Flip) is a standalone product with its own OS. I'm not sure a regular OS connected to the display would work so well.

I'm guessing we'll have that feature in the near future. iOS already "fixes" your eyes so that it appears you're looking at the camera despite looking at the screen. From there to detecting who you are looking at, a

Last year I tried a recent digital whiteboard (basically a fast 55" touch screen), and it felt really good. If those things had real-time syncing - connected to meeting software, of course - and were affordable enough, I could see them

The population has other ways of enforcing its will besides voting. But you need a broad consensus, not a slight majority.

Invading is only needed if you want to control the place. A bombing/napalm campaign like the US did in the Korean and Vietnam wars, applied to the most important and populous regions of the country, would cripple the country for decade

If you want to get a flying IED, you can use a commercially available RC plane. Nobody with the means to build a working jetpack would use it to do something so pedestrian as a suicide bombing. The FAA should still have a stern talking to t

You're assuming they distinguish land from sea. It's very likely the map has no such information.
