Maybe not in the US, but fonts do enjoy copyright protection in at least some European markets.[1] I frequently encountered this campaign on DVDs for rent in the local Blockbuster equivalents, so I don't think it is entirely theoretica

In a condo in an urban population center, and next to a busy 700+ pupil elementary school across the street, WiFi (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) work beautifully. On 5GHz, seeing 600M down and 100M up, as per ISP contract, the same as on wired Ethern

Good for you! If only things like this were taught in schools so that by the time people find Hacker News, they'd already know about them. We would be having entirely different conversations.

Yeah, I did not write it very clearly. On ZFS, you're right. On a file system that applied deduplication to files and not individual blocks, the file would need to be duplicated again, no matter where and what kind of change was made.

On ZFS it consumes a lot of RAM. In part I think this is because ZFS does it on the block level, and has to keep track of a lot of blocks to compare against when a new one is written out. It might be easier on resources if implemented on th

Can you move VMs between data centers? The ticket indicates issues mostly with Germany, and less with Finland, USA and Singapore. Depending on your where your users are, these locations might incur some latency penalty, though.

So there's a cottage industry of middle men on the streets who will set you up with a SIM card, or a travel ticket or whatever, for people who don't have identity. (Or in some cases don't want to reveal their identity, but I

You forgot disappearing music. Add a song to a playlist, switch countries (or who knows what), it becomes greyed out, or perhaps simply removed. Annoying. Their tendency to add random music to my playlists is annoying. I think there's

Whether that should be "un", Wikipedia[1] lists both ul- and un- for the name. I'd also have thought the transliteration to take into account Sun letter assimilation rule. Perhaps it was less established, or not so well known

Aren't some modern digital cryptography methods based on exactly that? I do agree on the view that science often discovers useful phenomena. What I tried to stress was that basic research does not, by definition, aim for such utility.

Isn't basic research always like that? According to Wikipedia[1]: "aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena". There is no implied success (it's only an &q

Right, Baltic Sea has considerably shorter distances on average. I imagine weather conditions might change the equation, though, if you need to send icebreakers first to open up some dozens of kilometers of passage. Right now the sea is sti
