The one time I flew from Austin, there was a band playing at a restaurant in the ticketed area. Going through security it was bad (you could only really hear the drums) but once I was through it was downright painful. Really makes you wonder how these decisions get made.
I’ve witnessed some of the most talented leaders of my generation hit rock bottom due to burnout—hustling through the grind at 4 AM, hungry for that next breakthrough.
These are the visionary disruptors, chasing that high-level synergy between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. They’ve faced the struggle, stayed up in low-budget home offices, and scaled their mindset while contemplating the future of the industry.
They’ve been transparent about their journey, showing true vulnerability under the pressure of the city, and finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. #Leadership #Resilience #Innovation #Mindset #Entrepreneurship
ADSBX used to be volunteer ran until JETNET paid the guy who controlled the domain name $20 million dollars to "sell" it to them and steal everyone else's source code and data. They now do selective filtering to appease their commercial clients.
Yeah that really sucked. It was a great volunteer platform and I was sad the guy sold out. It didn't filter anything. Not rich guys' jets, not military etc.
The community never really recovered. The airplanes.live one doesn't have as many feeders and the airframes.io is hidden behind a login.
I was hoping the community would simply move in unison to a new platform just like what happened when freenode got ruined. But it seems to have kinda fallen apart.
Especially the MLAT abilities (receiving traditional transponders pre-ADS-B) was really cool but it really needs a lot of feeders to be able to pinpoint them.
Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.
Yup, nothing changes now, but I'd pretty confidently place bets that the tier will have reduced features compared to the "Business" tier (or whatever it's called now)
I the article is wrong. UNLOGGED means it isn't written to WAL which means recovery and rollback guarantees won't work since the transaction can finish before the page can be synchronized on disk. The table loses integrity as a trade off for a faster write.
Rewinding the video by double tapping left or skipping ahead by double tapping right, enabling subtitles, watching in 2x speed, full screen, toggling back and forth without losing your place in the video.
You get no ads but everything else sucks. I haven’t tried sibling’s suggestion for vinegar though, I’m taking about stock with a dns blocker.
all those things work perfectly for me in the browser . Occasioally if you double tap too fast it doesn't like it. but 2x speed, subs. toggling, dbl taps. all work great in safari on ios. I often have 2 or 3 videos that i watch over the course of a few days. I just leave them in tabs and come back to them as i get time. can't do that with the app.
So the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, who died in 1973, will enter the public domain in New Zealand (and other countries) next year? Or do they not, as he presumably published his works in the UK? Or they enter the public domain in New Zealand et al. but not in other countries?
So can they host the Gutenberg project in NZ then? There is no feasible way for people to prevent people from downloading the hobbit. They couldn't stop music or movie downloads except by adopting a subscription model that effectively reduced the prices. These files are tiny and the ethical case against it is so much harder to make.
Edit: also, these are the sorts of books that don't get lumped into subscriptions and are often missing from digital libraries.
> So can they host the Gutenberg project in NZ then?
There is already an Australian branch of Project Gutenberg, which hosts some works which (for complex/obscure legal reasons) are still under copyright in the US but now public domain in Australia (e.g. the works of George Orwell). I don’t think there is a New Zealand equivalent, but I’m sure if someone was sufficiently motivated it could happen
They can, but they'd have to make those downloads only available to NZ users. This is also why American sites need to block EU users or comply with the GDPR. You can't just pick a server location with the laxest laws.
IIRC, Gutenberg already does this, limiting access from Germany which has a stricter copyright than the US.
No, there is no requirement under US law to preemptively block non-US users, or under NZ law to block non-NZ users. German courts held that there was jurisdiction over PG because they had content in German, and PG decided to comply. But you can, in fact, pick a server location with lax laws. But you may be susceptible to get sued elsewhere (in some cases), and the local country can force ISPs to block your site, too, if you don't respond.
There's none. But the validity of a copyright of a work is dependent on the place in which you're applying the law, not on the place where the author is from (except when applying the rule of the shorter term).
Tons of works are in the public domain in one country, but not another.
The oldest still in effect copyright I know of is from 1611: the King James translation of the bible is still copyright of the crown in the UK. No other country recognizes that copyright.
> The oldest still in effect copyright I know of is from 1611.
I can beat that by over 4000 years.
As far as Icelandic copyright law is concerned the copyright on the
Diary of Merer[1], written 4500 years ago, will be held by the French Egyptologist Pierre Tallet until 2039.
This is because the copyright protection commerces when the work is made available for sale, loaning out etc. to the public.
If you discover a previously unpublished work that's not protected by copyright you get to enjoy 25 years of copyright protection, i.e. the copyright is assigned to the person who discovered and published the work.
I only have a source in Icelandic, it's article 44 of the copyright act [2].
The 25-year rule is part of an EU copyright directive (which Iceland, as an EEA country, has adopted as well). Also, this isn't technically a copyright, but an equivalent right. (And the right is not 4000 years old.) The EU directive says (in English):
> Any person who, after the expiry of copyright protection, for the first time lawfully publishes or lawfully communicates to the public a previously unpublished work, shall benefit from a protection equivalent to the economic rights of the author. The term of protection of such rights shall be 25 years from the time when the work was first lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public.
The KJV is protected in the UK by Royal Prerogative rather than by copyright law. The KJV rights are actually older than copyright in the UK.
A number of countries have copyright restrictions on things of national significance, etc., however, and then there's the concept of domaine public payant.
Linux kernel development happens on Git. In fact, Git was created for the Linux kernel. Maybe instead of Git you mean GitHub? I can't find a link now, but if I remember right there was a brief period when Linux kernel development had to move to GitHub. Maybe when kernel.org got hacked? Linus Torvalds didn't like the way that GitHub formatted merge commits [1] (from a later date, but I think it was the same issue).
Yeah, github Web UI tend to generate low quality commit message that's not up to the standard set by the kernel developers: no oneline short log, long lines, no signed-off line, etc. Linus simply refuses to let those kind of commits into the Kernel.
Without involving github at all, you can use git directly to push branches to a remote repository and then have it be merged by the maintainers there, which leads to a workflow that's pretty similar to the one you have with github.
Instead, Linux is being worked on by exporting the (git) patches and sharing them on a mailing list, effectively not using a significant feature of git and leading to a very different workflow than the one everyone else is using (github users and others alike), so I still find the question legitimate.
>> Instead, Linux is being worked on by exporting the (git) patches and sharing them on a mailing list
Once configured, you can send a series of patches to the mailing list with a single git command, and with just another command apply a series of patches from the mailing list. It's actually quite efficient.
I'm aware of that mirror. What I'm talking about in my comment is that there was a time when the development of the Linux kernel actually moved to GitHub, due to problems with the regular Linux kernel development infrastructure.
Isn't that the point of X-ray spectroscopy? As a layperson I don't know of any point in trying to "photograph" a single atom, but surely being able to do spectroscopy on a single atom is really useful.
