The comment was unclear whether “Respect for capitalism declined rapidly in the US after women gained the vote.” is a direct or indirect quote of Peter Thiel, or not a quote at all.

I am kind of weary making a public statement about this subject, a controlled demolition would have been a crime against humanity. Unlike tedivm I do not claim any authority on this subject. During my teenage years I spent a lot of late nights just surfing the web and researched the 9/11 building collapse quite thoroughly at one point. I can also think. I came to the conclusion that, due to the structural design of the twin towers, if you fly a plane into them a collapse of the kind that was witnessed on the 11. September 2001 is the consequence.

What’s your point?

You can learn a whole lot from fiction.

The work was in the public domain, which means anyone can do anything with it, including selling it. The original copyright holder has no more rights than anyone else once the work is in the public domain (thats kinda the point of it).

This lawsuit was really rather pointless.

That still applies.

Could you expand on this? I have always wondered how carriers recognize tethering vs normal use.

> Nobody pays six thousand dollars to play candy crush.

You would be surprised.

iirc macOS is only licensend to run on Apple hardware.

> You can't demonstrate that there is an "absolute moral law" against murder.

Kant tried to.

If you buy booze and clothes you know you won‘t see your money again.

I just wanted to say that this is a pretty bad comment.

You have labeled the fake and the original the wrong way around.

> See for example Google in China.

Yes, Google’s Services in China are adapted to local laws. But China only applies those laws inside it’s territory. China is not demanding that Google block “Tank Man”-Videos outside of China. The US wants to apply the Stored Communications Act outside of it’s territory (In casu to Ireland).

This is a very important case. If the SCOTUS rules in favor of the US then corps which are active in both the US and the EU will be stuck having to decide who’s laws to follow. Unilateral extraterritorial application of domestic laws is rarely a good idea, especially when a bilateral mutual legal assistance treaty already exists (which the US didn’t use in this case).

The following amicus briefs are a good read introduction to the case:

These are way to long to read completly, but already a quick browse can be enlightening:

Which this will absolutely not.

The IBM fonts are clearly the best. Hardly surprising.

Sorry, yes I meant Emirates. Thanks.

Didn’t have my coffee yet.

The A380 was purpose built for the Airlines like Etihad which use the Hub-Model, where flights are routed through big hubs such as Dubai Airport. To run this you need huge Planes to manage the high passenger flows between the hubs. However most Airlines seem to be moving to a point-to-point model, flying directly between destinations. They utilize larger fleets of smaller planes, like the A320.

Boeing has specially designed the B787 to serve as a point-to-point plane.

Airbus has also acquired a contolling stake in Bombariers C-Series Programme in a move towards smaller planes.

> JavaScript […] is a demonstrated attack vector

Does that mean that we are soon going to be vulnerable to remote exploits via WASM as well? Do mitigation attempts such as reducing the JavaScript timing resolution aslo apply to WASM?

Cost

Return it. Apple replaces faulty devices liberally.

I have a suspicion that the TSAs unreasonable behaviour (unreasonable adherance to protocol) is due to them being subject to random performance tests where they actually do send through enlderly women in wheelchairs with contraband straped to their butt and automatically flag them for extra search. Failing to detect the contraband in this case is probably punished in some way so the agents are forced to throw all common sense out the window when handling people[0] that have been flagged for additional screening.

[0] People like me. I get flagged every single time I enter the United States.

This comment has been downvoted, but I don‘t understand why. The phrase “user different pipes, because [magic]" is unclear to me as well.

AWS stands for Amazon Web Services. https://aws.amazon.com/

What exactly are you refering to?

It is quite obvious that for any file transfer system to work both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time. One sends the data and the other receives it.

I can’t read the whole story without paying money. Is there a link to a free version?

No, but if there is an increase in productivity and you don’t print money there will be deflation.

Why would laws have to change, after all there is no kidnapping and robbery occuring. Stealing the contents of an ai-truck is less terrible than robbing a truck driver at gunpoint. There is a reason one is punished more than the other.
