The United States wasn't a world power or thriving before the New Deal. It was in the middle of the Great Depression and a growing wave of isolationism. Of course, it was in pretty much the same place after the New Deal as well- World War

Couldn't an author simply not sell rights to an overseas publisher? If there is no cheap overseas edition authorized, then there is no cheap overseas edition to be imported back to the US.

I don't know if I would consider commercial airlines and GA/charters the same industry. Malice is being ascribed where incompetence more than adequately explains the differences.

You're right, hackers don't produce intellectual property, and they never have issues with people not valuing it. If you think being able to sling code or design a webpage makes you immune from this trend, then maybe you don't have enough

Maybe he thinks you have to be rude to deal with the French? There is a stereotype there, right or wrong.

I think he realizes, it's just a game he doesn't want to play, and he's willing to cut a publisher a share to avoid it.

Hacker News tends to down-vote the r/atheism love that tries to leak over from that other site.

Lego still sells more 'old school' style sets, along with tubs of generic blocks. The sets also usually include extras of the smallest pieces. Lemme guess, you've hated Lego since before it was cool to hate Lego?

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. If shown to scale even the biggest satellite wouldn

There are plenty of states without teachers' unions, and guess what- the kids don't perform any better there. Non-teaching positions are the results of regulations and laws to 'protect' the interests of students. Until someone makes hard

Most code is not written by government employees, but contractors. The contractors usually sell the government on reusing internally-developed code to lower the cost, but they then maintain rights to that code. My guess is that the licens
