@Stefan Payne "Anything that has copyright in europe on it" - that includes stuff produced elsewhere, just fyi

Like, there was this case recently gutenberg.org i think?

yeah, thats it

Its based in america and they share books there which are public domain in the US due to the copyright running out.

Well, the copyright ran out in the US where its like 70 years? Whereas here its 70 years after death of author. So they were still protected.

So, no, the picture being taken in say the US doesnt help there.

@Bones Can you really perjure yourself on a subjective opinion of what constitutes a lot of drinking?

I don't even think he said he didn't drink a lot, or didn't drink excessively.

I'm not really clear on what specifically the article is claiming is perjury. I was under the impression it was the "I never got blackout/passed out drunk"

Which is itself kinda uhh...

a vague, qualitative judgement

If he were asked "have you ever been drunk enough that you would not remember key details of when you were intoxicated" then maybe, but then again

how could you prove that Brett Kavanaugh saw, heard, or experienced something in a way which could be expected to be remembered

such that it could be considered forgotten in the morning?

It is ultimately internal, subjective, and qualitative

And as long as he is consistent with his _own_ statements about his _own_ subjective, internal, qualitative opinion of that, it seems to matter very little what others say.

even if they say it also under penalty of felony.

And much less so in a random, professionally-cut interview under no penalty, with a decidedly-hostile news organization.

This is a "She said, they said otherwise."

https://twitter.com/EFF/status/1046559134173130752 CA brings back net neutrality and makes building local broadband networks easier

Reading the report Schedrevka linked. It's refreshing to see that this is a matter of record.

This is seriously the most sane print on paper I've read in a while.

@aukkras No, what they've done is _made local broadband networks a concern of the state_, which will probably go very badly since this is California we are talking about.

When "city planners" determine how many fibers travel to you, and force you to pay into _their_ scheme, you are well and truly had by the balls.

Everything bad that's happened with the internet since the repeal seems to be stuff that has to do with tech giants originally built with government grants now owning all the platforms.

Aside from the Verizon throttling that fire department I guess

If they wanted to make building local broadband networks easier, they would find some way to enhance the permitting process for laying new fiber, and reduce the cost of buying space in cable conduits.

(and include cable conduits with new major road projects)

Well, it's not so much that Verizon throttled the fire department

it's that the fire department bought the wrong package, consistently overran their allotment, and then when the system automatically throttled their connection for misuse, they suddenly cared.

Yeah my mistake

it's great that it didn't just shut off, or some nonsense like that.

then they go crying to the press

"boo hoo we bought too little internet and it ran out"

I forgot the big worry without net neutrality is that like, Comcast will selectively throttle content

It's not like they woke up in the morning and thought "ahh, let's interrupt a city service"

"selectively"

I mean, Comcast has a thousand good reasons for shit to be delivered at different rates anyway.

from the basic technical perspective, their own first-party services, and services directly affiliated with them, are likely to be served from directly inside their own colocation centers.

(or even closer to the edge)
