I believe that many authors would agree with you that the current system is not ideal and ripe for something better. But right now it's all that writers have as a way to pay the rent and eat. You admit to having no replacement that get

Miniscule, and growing. That site that shouted at me that I'm filthy lowlife scum for running an adblocker? Pphhht. JS disabled; nastiness averted.

Having been paid to do the work, wouldn't it be classed as a "work for hire" so not eligible for him to copyright in the first place? (Not sure how US law stacks up on this issue.)

Here's one: 3 metric cups of Brown Bread Flour or Wholewheat flour, 1 sachet instant yeast (personally we have a homegrown sourdough starter, but that's a whole other topic). You can get by with a little less yeast, and with bough

But wait! It gets worse: Date-of-birth fields where they use a date picker, and the default/starting date is today . I'm a bit older than the average HM demographic, so using a date picker to scroll back many years might take hun

I don't think it's investors feeling grouchy as much as Wall St. reporters who seem unable to write in anything other than garbage language. BH management do not concern themselves with short- or medium-term performance much; ey

I didn't read the article as advice , rather as pointing up/sharpening the differences between two variants of online subscription model.

I think the point is that Netflix and your local newspaper don't interact with you, personally in a one-on-one, honest, direct interaction. At an $84/mo subscription level, that's what you're buying. Now this may be be

I'd hazard that this would be an obvious "first application" for this technique. If they can improve the absorption efficiency by 130%, that translates to reducing the number of mirrors by something like 25%, so a fairly sign

You're absolutely right. So by the same logic I'll argue that those should also be 3xx codes and not 4xx. After all, being "unauthorized"/"forbidden" is a valid state for a client to be in (so not an err
