Yes, they would be sued out of existence otherwise. It also says on the site "lyrics licensed by musixmatch", so there you go.

This is DMCA. DMCA does not absolve hosts if they "receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity". So if google hosts an app and makes money off of that app, they can't claim safe harbor if that

A number is not in the first place its digit sequence. A number like pi is in the first place the ratio of a circle's diameter and its circumference, and only incidentally a certain (infinite) decimal expansion. A name is in the first

The proof is simple: there are countably many names, but uncountably many real numbers. Hence, some real numbers must be unnameable.

It seems like the fix should be really really simple, but maybe I'm missing something: instead of giving the AI a sandboxed environment and telling it "go wild", give it an (apparently) unrestricted environment, and tell it &

Where's the other 300k going? If you aren't spending it, what does it matter if it all gets taxed to nothing? And if you end up spending it, then boom there's your consumption that needs to be taxed.

Some file formats, eg png, require a particular file header in order to be considered valid. This is true regardless of your operating system, be it windows or linux. If that is hidden information, then it is hidden regardless of which oper

The odd thing is the non conditional "before it lands" rather than "if it lands".

Very odd proposal. The new element syntax is perhaps the boldest choice. I wonder why they thought that was necessary. The idea of using this to defer rendering elements is also odd. So this would use a http long polling style? It really go

The table of contents opens links in a new tab. If they didn't, they would require a full page reload, because they don't use fragments. This is seemingly how substack is designed.

The reason is that clients, even under xhtml, expect to be able to build webpages via templating. You need to reject that assumption and demand that servers build pages from an ast so that the backend guarantees that the page parses. It isn

There are rss aggregators that poll every feed occasionally, then combine them into a single feed for each person to consume. Nostr works on a similar basis but you push to the aggregator instead of them pulling.
