They're a private company, they can ban whoever they want. Or at least that's what I heard a few years ago when it was politically incorrect people complaining about being banned with no accountability. They're a private com

People always use that link as reference to say that Internet Archive ignores robots.txt but it only actually says they are ignoring it for government sites. It suggests that they might do it for other sites in the future (of 2017), but do

Which is true here, except "do anything you want" is "be displeasing to Kuwait". It's all "they're a private company, they can ban anyone they want" right up until they ban someone who promoters of th

I don't know what the status of this is today, but a number of years ago my biggest complaint about Gutenberg is that a lot of books had images added back when low resolution images were the standard, so you have a ton of books with im

The system doesn't know that you're a smart person who will only say "I have a regular cycle" when you've had something that could reasonably be called a regular cycle. A lot of patients are stupid, and requiring a

The US public domain currently covers up to the year 1930, which is probably the reason it cuts off at that year. To get a 1936 variant you will have to wait until 2032 for them to be able to legally train the model.
