  1. If this isn't the use they wanted, the licence shouldn't be allowing it. But it does, so too bad.

  2. I think what the other AC was getting at is the construct or more widely known as an Oxford comma, not a Harvard comma.

  3. Let me guess, the whole quote should he been something like:
    "None of the people I photographed had any idea their images were being used in this way, but it's all because I decided to put it on the internet with a licence that allows anyone to do anything with it, without explaining to them what I was going to do."

    They're not.
    they're making new prefixes for every third power of 10.

    If a consensus isn't reached relatively soon, the whole "billion" thing will happen again. it's been defined as both 10 to the 9th power and 12th power.

    Please, tell me how to cure my astigmatism naturally.

    Is there a natural way to reshape my cornea?

  11. I did what any sane person would.
    I shopped around the outlets, tried on the frames and chose one.
    I then went online and ordered it from overseas. You just enter in the numbers on your prescription and choose the frames.
    I got the frame I wanted for half the price it would have cost locally. The lenses only cost $10 with anti-reflective coating and I got another spare set on cheap frames for another $10.

  12. You mean DAC?

    Like writing a wallet address on a piece of paper and sending it in an envelope?

    Without independent access to the blockchain however, you can't verify your transaction. You'd have to trust the other party is being honest.

    The use-case of being in a country where your internet access is cut off, you need to put your trust in someone else to verify transactions.
