So, continuing to profit--forever--from someone's else work, at scale, without their prior consent, is fair use?

It's funny that crimes can be settled in cash. IOW, everything has a price; and the price is always right. Settlement ought to be the euphemism for blood money.

In addition to the settlement, what I'd consider fair is to have these companies pay royalties in perpetuity. Of course, that's not tractable.

I can't imagine anything worse that could happen to an animal than getting discovered by humans. Dear monkey, please run, and run far!

Imagine how it'd be if BigConcrete were to make concrete. Every year at ConcreteCon, yet another release that lasts for... one year!

The grift that keeps on grifting. To put it poetically, everyday discovering something brand new.

WHOM

I'm wondering if anyone's attempting to revitalise the old Minix. Minix started out an educational software, from which, Torvalds admitted, he drew inspiration. Since then, they had higher ambitions. And now, from the last I heard, it has evolved into neither here nor there.

Might as well go back to the tar.gz days, eh?

Whom does Anubis stop.

People should more than one book. Even better, people should know when to stop reading a book.

Too bad China doesn't have a president fit for pardoning thugs.

The name of the metal is Aluminium. Of course, America had to introduce yet another typo.

By WHOM!!

It uses the dd-mm-yyyy date format like the rest of Europe

Everywhere sane uses a monotonic order: either increasing or decreasing units. Americans had to be different, somehow - it's a compulsion.

attempts at American cultural exports

To those who haven't realised yet, there lies the problem.

As long as US dollar remains the reserve currency, others will have to suck up to the US. This is why moving away from the USD is critical. Beyond that, people should pull their investments away from the US. This is difficult, however: US is the market that offers most returns (as to for how long, that remains to be seen), but it takes only a initial dominos falling.

Allies? What allies?

For whom?

It's refreshing to see someone using the correct phrasing.

The often-seen, stupid way is 'who is this book for'.

Trusted US organisation: this must be the latest oxymoron.

Good. Now replace USD for trades.

Clearly, someone was offended.

Calling it European signals that, for one, that it's not American. For some users, that in itself is an attraction.

"Help is coming". Came that indeed.

This another indication that driving on the left side of the road feels more natural.

Missing an 'e' at the end?

I think you underestimate what the human attention span has become.

The other potential good outcomes are that (1) make a dent (however minuscule) into current and future revenue of parasitic american companies (2) a next generation of young people growing up not addicted to social media.

The latter has the same effect of trying to proselytise to a grown, intelligent adult. The response is, quite rightly, yuck.

He's not thug enough. Try again.
