>axial twist orthodoxy

My impression is that this isn't exactly settled science. If you look in the history for the article you can see that it's mainly written by the lead author of the main citations. He also did the cute illustrations that everyone loves

No one checks names on Aussie domestic flights to this day


>how can you find what version of Gitlab is being run? (through the web interface on a CE instance)

It's up the top at gitlab.example.com/help


One of the reasons Schumacher was able to dominate was that he was one of the first F1 drivers to train for it as a physical sport.


Martin Brundle said if he’d realised earlier in his driving career how vital fitness was, he would have achieved much more.


The laws in Australia refer to "facilitating" copyright infringement. Whether or not a torrent website is a publisher is entirely immaterial


By this logic, google "facilitates" the defamation by providing hyperlinks to the article. The court disagrees.


"Facilitating" defamation isn't defamation, so not a crime. Facilitating copyright infringement is explicitly prohibited, whatever the definition of "publish" is.


This is absurd. Where does it end? iphone allows to watch copyrighted material. Should apple be responsible for any infringement?


I didn't make the law!

You're right; my spectacles-supplier makes it possible for me to watch infringing videos. So they're "facilitating".

Arguably a website operator can do something about it; Vision Express can't, and nor can Apple.

The battle between copyright maximalists and the "information wants to be free" crowd won't end until there's a copyright regime that most people think is fair. I think that means that (a) all copyright expires on the authors death, or after 70 years, whivhever comes first; (b) copyright infringement is a purely civil affair; (c) copyright holders get to sue for lost royalties, which they have to demonstrate, thus suppressing actions against people whove never made a penny from infringement.

That's how it was when I was a kid, and it seemed pretty fair. All the subsequent changes have been to favour the RIAA and the MPAA, enacted by the US government, and then rammed down the throat of the rest of the world through trade agreements and so on.


My workplace's solution was to simply turn off 2FA for my account


2CV's do around 6L/100km which is comparable to modern town cars


Fascinating how clearly you can see this with the 5hr limit from Dusseldorf being pretty much exactly the French border from the Atlantic to Switzerland


>>How does it handle type instability, i.e. when the type of a variable is only known at run-time, not at compile-time?
