I feel like many in this thread misunderstand me. Our company follows pretty standard practices. Before anything is worked on, everyone has to write in pretty excruciating detail what is being done, from juniors all the way to our marketing

To be clear, I am not saying a company shouldn't maintain technical docs. In fact if I know something can be found in the docs, and I get a question about it, I am simply going to direct them to the docs. I also do not discourage a dev

As the senior most developer on my team, I want you to interrupt me as soon as you need help. It is a far better use of everyone's time to get you on the correct track right away. I tell this to every developer on the team, and especia

I am just guessing but I think it's because of renewals. I know in the past when I've purchased a certificate before the expiration date, the CA gives me that extra time on the new cert so the expiration date stays the same the fo

Okay that seems like pretty brazen copyright infringement then. That's crazy! Maybe they hope to disrupt the publishing industry, but really just sounds like a way to get sued.

Oh I guess I kind of assumed that was what they were doing, although I guess I didn't explicitly see that anywhere. If they really do lend more copies then they've purchased then IA is pretty clearly in the wrong.

It seems like Internet Archive's sites are just the digital versions of a normal library. Is there something I'm missing here? Are these publishers going to go after all libraries? Or is this more about the content being digital?

I wonder if this means the desktop version of PUBG is also banned in China now? There has been a big problem of cheaters in this game, and others like it, the majority of which are Chinese.
