  1. I didn't see a license on the webpage. Are those images in the public domain or does the museum claim copyright on the scans?

  2. Happened to NASA as well on YouTuber Says He Was Accused of Infringing His Own Song (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    NASA's live stream of the landing of the Curiosity rover in 2012 was interrupted as well. A news station integrated parts of the stream into a report. Since the station was a media partner of YouTube, the service assumed that the news report was the original and automatically interrupted NASAs live stream during the landing.

    Probably gives the police additional investigatory powers since they're now supect of being a terrorist organisation. It's not stupid, it's unabashedly abusive.

  4. Re:The transactions are high risk on Patreon Is Suspending Adult Content Creators Because of Its Payment Partners (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    At one point, Visa tried to prevent German shops from selling Cuban cigars. I guess these transactions were high risk as well and Visa did not try to police the world according to US political views.

  5. Re:If an over-the-air update can fix it... on Consumer Reports Recommends Tesla's Model 3 After Braking Fix (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ... and over-the-air update can also break it. Or take away the "feature" once the car leaves the showroom.

    And why would anyone in Tesla do that?

    Because Tesla gets sued for patent infringement over a feature and removing it is part of the settlement or does otherwise reduce costs. We've had these things happen with consumer electronics. Why not cars?

    That's like saying since I'm free to move in public, I'm also free to stalk you.

    Pandora isn’t available where you are yet.
    Pandora is only available in the U.S. right now – but we are working on bringing our music service to other parts of the world.

    This message has been up for over ten years for anyone outside the US.

    The US got New Zealand to arrest Kim Dotkom and freeze his assets even though Megaupload was registered in Hong Kong. AFAIK he is still fighting extradition to the US.

    In 2017, twenty-nine orbital rockets were launched from the US. Nineteen of those were a Falcon 9.

  10. Re:Translation on Google's Chrome Ad Blocking Arrives Tomorrow (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Ads pay so little that many websites would make more money with a $5.99 per year subscription. Maybe they should try that instead of trying to charge $10 or $20 per month.

  11. It would be nice if, with the improved controls, they would allow to publish nude content instead of forcing US prudery on the rest of the world.

  12. It won't be Big Tech vs Big Telecom. It will be Big vs small.

    As optical illusions prove, inferring 3D structure from stereoscopic input is also error prone for humans. I guess that makes it I-hard?

    They won't be allowed to launch a rocket over land for a long time. Noise is also a big issue.

    The update process is completely unsecured as well. However, the current problems are not a real issue since the software will receive an online updare that fixes the discovered vulnerabilities before the upcoming election.
