Political Graveyard[1] is the world's richest open dataset on American politicians, and its size dwarfs everypolitician.org

Just give it a couple more years. I was very happy with my GoogleTV until Google abandoned the platform.

I tried it on an earlier Chrome (37, well over the v26 they advertise)

javascript.min.js:558 Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

Also see what you see, lots of blankness.

Attended this talk which was at the Vintage Computer Festival in Mountain View. Zeidman offers a $100,000 reward for proof of actual code copying. [1]

This becomes a complicated discussion. In an img tag, a webp can degrade to gif, but that is not true of webm, which is not an image. And webp uses considerably less resources than webm.

It's probably also an easier sell to the more problematic browsers (you know who they are) to support webp than webm.

Importantly, the webp format supports animation, and is considerably more efficient than animated gif. [1]

At the HOPE conference last month, Stallman said he would on occasion borrow a stranger's smartphone should he be in a public place and need to make a phone call.

It's simple sales tax. Federal law prohibits the state fro going further.[1]

Speaking as the smartass who made the original comment, your work is much appreciated! If you need additional printed works for examples, I have quite a few.

>The scope of the Unicode Standard (and ISO/IEC 10646) does not extend to encoding every symbol or sign that bears meaning in the world.

Until Unicode has a half-star character, it won't even be able to encode the average newspaper.

Self-driving cars drastically reduce the total number of cars necessary, and, as the article notes, limit the ability of manufacturers to upsell features. If the fleet of cars on the road were largely self-driving, there is no way it would support the present variety of car manufacturers. I would hazard that most would go bankrupt.

Calling screenshots "code" might be a bit much. This isn't in any way illegal, as it barely qualifies as a creative work.

Precedent is very much against PhantomAlert. Such data simply isn't copyrightable. See Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991), which involved fictitious entries in a telephone book.

It's much older than 1963. Erasmus was researching this in the 15th/16th century, but John Wilkins' 1668 book is probably the most well known of the early works[1].

Until we can write truly robust versions of everyday productivity applications, such as editors or spreadsheets, without resorting to <canvas> underlayment, it simply isn't true that the web is in a good state. Flexbox improves the layout situation (as present CSS is astonishingly terrible at simple layout), but it won't elevate to anywhere near the point of making aforementioned productivity applications.

You wouldn't have to report capital gains unless you had sold the asset. But transferring the asset to your blackmailer, perhaps you might have to pay gift tax, unless you filed a 1099. [1]

Not every prisoner. There are also prisoners awaiting trial, and prisoners held for contempt of court.

In the United States, there are 487,000 incarcerated awaiting trial [1].

There's plenty of precedent. It's just rare for a reason. I'm not sure allowing slightly easier access to CSS syntax justifies it.

Hyphens in variable names. It's a bold strategy for a scripting language, Cotton.

> There is nothing stopping someone else creating a playlist of the same content undercutting your product.

You can turn of embed and syndicate permissions, preventing mobile, web and TV access. You can even unlist the video. Some combination of these would certainly stop anyone other than Google from creating a premium service with your videos.

> Say you want to create a collection of videos on android in a folio app type thing, charging $1.

But if your goal is "folio app type thing", there is no need to use YouTube at all. The whole purpose of YouTube is give your videos exposure and have them mix on a common platform. If you want to hide them, just self-host.

Might be referring to the Mogenerator case[1].

Isn't Lynx 175,000 lines of code?

That article doesn't support your point, except perhaps for IBM and it's hazy to me what exactly that revenue is. It's certainly not from the type of developer-targeted infrastructure services that AWS is.

As for Microsoft, quoting directly from your link: "One person has told Business Insider that Azure revenue is at $1 billion lifetime since its debut in 2011, but is accelerating quickly."

There are between 7,500 and 15,000 different sales tax jurisdictions in the United States, based variously on overlapping municipalities, school districts, metropolitan transit areas, etc. If one stipulates the necessity of paying out-of-state sales tax, the complexity of the situation makes it next to impossible to comply. Neighboring houses in the same city may have different sales tax rates. There are firms that specialize in just this, but even those can't achieve 100% accuracy.

You either have snippet-royalties or you have viable and useful search engines that operate without a paywall. They are mutually exclusive. If royalty negotiations were required for all content before a snippet could be used, either the search engine will index only a few major players (only the head of the long tail), or the cost of obtaining agreements would exceed any potential revenues. It's not because of a monopoly player in the market, the dysfunction applies to all potential search engines. And the minor players in such a regime would be even at a greater disadvantage, lacking the resources to come to arrangements. Be careful what you wish for.

They don't like fair use, but it is not clear fair use protections could be legislated away without a court overturning any such clause with a first amendment argument. If that were to happen, foreign corporations could sue the US for damages, and win, but no other legal remedy would be available -- they could not stop the fair use from continuing. Maybe they could sue again the following year.

The data might just show that offering 50 inch TVs to someone who just bought one is actually a rich opportunity. Perhaps both televisions were stolen in a burglary. Or someone is finally upgrading all their televisions from CRT to flat screen -- maybe they moved from a house to a small apartment. It would not surprise me in the least if people were 10 times more likely to purchase a television having just bought one, compared to individuals randomly selected.

Sorry, civil torts are most definitely not illegal. By "illegal" one means prohibited or punishable by the state. They are not.

Copyright infringement is defined in 17 USC 501. Nowhere is ordinary infringement prohibited, but civil remedies are provided in 17 USC 502-505. There are many circumstances under which civil claims may not be pursued, but also much lower standards of proof.

17 USC 506 makes willful infringement punishable under certain specific circumstances, which are a small subset of infringements.

> No, I'm just not falsely limiting "illegal" to "criminal".

Neither was I.

Copyright infringement is a civil tort, not necessarily illegal. The law defines infringement but does not prohibit it, but merely provides mechanisms of civil remedy.

Fair use is not infringement.

You may be thinking of criminal copyright infringement. That is a different matter entirely and would fall under what people consider as "illegal."
