About as helpful as the headline, which suggests Facebook is Apple's product, since it's unlike Apple's Customers which aren't Apple's product...
It should read "Tim Cook Says Apple's Customers Are Not Its Product, Unlike Facebook's" if it's comparing Apple's customers to
Facebook's customers rather than Apple's customers to Facebook.
Reddit discovers internet trolls are a thing.

Usenet, 4chan, et al. not mad, just disappointed.
If you do, and your library has a subscription, check out Hoopla. You can borrow digital editions of physical comic books, allowing you to try before you buy.
Spoiler: Any of the choices out there are good ones, it's up to you to figure out how much time you want to devote to enjoying them.
I suspect you're looking at some of the staples of raytracing texturing like simulated wood, metal, or stone. Heterogeneous materials approximated by too low of a resolution will end up "looking like velvet" because there's more color change going on per sampled unit of distance than can be made to look both smooth and accurate. Anti-aliasing is a crutch.
Better alternatives: increase your color depth, increase the resolution of the image, or adjust the formulae being used to simulate the material.

Just because you didn't see stuff until 5 years after it was commercially available doesn't mean the rest of us didn't.
It depends on how much baking bread and pizza the mining resembles. There's this thing where electric companies monitor kWh amounts from month to month, per business and residence, and charge accordingly. Electricity on a particular grid is a finite resource, and sudden spikes in usage get billed accordingly.
My suspicion based on the summary talking about "towns with cheap electricity" is that miners were expecting to go unnoticed in residential areas while consuming commercial levels of electricity. The summary talks about a jump in costs to residential customers, and cryptomining is pretty squarely a commercial activity.
Long story short: It probably looked exactly like people opened up a bunch of commercial endeavors and thought they were going to only be charged residential rates. Residential neighbors don't like subsidizing one another involuntarily.
uses less storage space while preserving image quality.
BULLSHIT
You compress it, you will lose quality.
Or all of information theory is wrong.
Or you shift some of the storage space to the program that decompresses. You know, with things like Run Length Encoding, or Huffman compression, or LZW. Or things like Fractal Image Compression where you effectively gain artificial, but perceptible, quality by trading for time and storage space during both an analysis phase and decompression. I'm just guessing, but you seem to have missed out on the last three decades of the previous century.
Now if you want to make an argument for the loss of quality for all encoding techniques, regardless of compression used, when reducing an original image to a particular color depth, or resolution... then yes... all existing image formats are inherently lossy when going from real life to digital storage.
Will editor's have to demonstrate they've read the story as well? Little things like copy and pasted characters unsupported by the site suggest they hadn't.
The irony is palpable.
Irony would have been if I'd type editorâ(TM)s. (I didn't)
Irony could also have been if I were an editor and made the mistake. (I'm not)
Irony may be that I've demonstrated that having read the story doesn't improve the quality of responses. (It really doesn't, it just delays poor quality responses like these)
However this was merely coincidence. This suggests to me that neither of us should be an editor.

You've got that the wrong way around...
Imagine having to obey Singapore's littering laws in the United States.
Suppose you bought a brand of tissue available in both Singapore and the United States.
The packaging has a label that contains English, Malay, Tamil, and Mandarin.
You then discarded it in a public area in the United States.
You post videos to Facebook and someone in Singapore notices you discarding a tissue.
You then receive notice that you have a trial date in Singapore because the brand of tissue is available there.
Because the books were published in both Germany and the United States. If they were published in Botswana, then your red herring would be relevant. The German court appears to be conflating distribution with publishing.
The authors of the books were also under contract to publish the books in the United States, and elsewhere, and in those jurisdictions the books have since entered the public domain. In the United States, from which Project Gutenberg operates, the books in question entered the public domain prior to the equivalent in Germany. If the authors had only published in Germany, the German court would clearly have jurisdiction. As they entered multiple agreements contractually, it's not so clear as the plaintiff claims.
In general, a woman is about as honest about her age as a man is about the length of his penis. The overvaluation of both pieces of information despite the likelihood for inaccuracy is mind-boggling.

Cybercriminals have figured out loopholes through Chrome's extensions, like when 37,000 devices were hit by the fake version of AdBlock Plus.
The real version of AdBlock Plus has been malware since they started deciding some ads were acceptable for the end user.

Explain, please. Why is it not a need? For anybody?

The control group gets the placebo. They post what only they think is too clever, and also get modded down.

That had better be a link to Rick Astley's greatest hit, young man.
"Dinner and a movie" is traditional before that level of commitment.

They're just trying to get someone to claim that "Lass is Moore", or that they're "doing Lass with Moore".

It means that the claim of copyright on the "download code" is invalidated. But nice attempt.
