   There are places that have a minimal or no formal recognition of IP rights. Not counting stateless or breakaway regions like Transnistria and Sealand, countries like Somalia and South Sudan either do not have a government-run IP system, or

   It seems utterly absurd to me we litigate the ownership of ideas or their expressions, but here we are. The founder of Bikram Yoga, tried to copyright a sequence of yoga poses, even though similar sequences have existed for for thousands of

   I very recently tried again to adopt Linux on the desktop. I'm really sick of feeling like a frog in a pot of water. It's becoming harder and harder to bypass their literal gatekeeping of which applications I can run on my compute

   Is it still worth the terrible compromises to our digital freedoms we as a society have to make in order "to promote the progress of science and useful arts"? I'd argue that the pendulum has swung so far to the side of IP hol

    I don't have any specific build-time recommendations for org-mode, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the built-in 'leuven' theme for org-mode work. I normally don't go in for light themes, but this one has so many nice

    There are so many incredible works of literature that I’ve yet to read available in glorious DRM free epub on Standard EBooks and Project Gutenberg, I don’t know why I’d deal with this shit for imaginative fiction .

    I also could not get past my outrage about this, how about a link to the content in a format suitable for the old and cranky? Even raw text would be better than this.

    Heh, it just so happens I'm also a left-handed Latin language learner and enthusiast who has been on HN since 2009. Are you me? Drop me an email (it's in my profile) I bet we'd both really enjoy corresponding a bit more.

    I retired from the industry a bit over a year ago, which led to some tension between my wife and I; these kinds of drastic lifestyle changes can be hard on a couple. We ended up seeing a couples therapist who, among other observations, stro

    Machine learning is a "noun phrase" and not a verb, so it does not conjugate , the words in the phrase decline . I personally would go with "ēruditio machinārum" (the learning of the machines). The word ēruditio (learn

    I'm curious what your thoughts on are on emacs-jupyter[0] which seems to integrate reasonably well with Org mode. I have some complaints about how it has to handle output blocks, but otherwise it seems like a great way for Emacs to act
