I also feel like protecting Disney is a net benefit, because they can chose what goes into public domain, based on cost.

Whereas that orphaned work you have never heard of could find a new audience.

I've considered artists lifetime or 20 years whichever is longer too.

Snow White entering the public domain is not a particular benefit to society.

A book which is long out of print, with ambiguous copyright status is.

Copyright shouldn't be abolished, it should be reformed however.

It should be 20 years, with right to renew, your first 10 year renewal is free, then the cost skyrockets, with proof required that you are still using the work in commerce, and after that first term, you get a flat rate 5 year extension, then it must be renewed annually with escalating fees.

It allows the big IP places to hold on to their family jewels, but also would return a significant amount of orphaned work to public domain.

I call this process ‘threading the needle’ - some novels thread with ease, some do not thread with ease but the payoff is worth it in the end, some thread and then unthread, some never thread at all.

As someone who has to respond for this kind of stuff at work, I am regularly in a situation where I am pushing back on a CVE, or telling them that our product neither uses nor installs that package (or its for a different OS entirely).

Our product is run in a moated environment, most systems have the same username and passwords (customers never change the defaults), so I only really care about RCE's even if it is an effected package.

I dont think he's wrong.

Dell is making moves to introduce server grade hardware without ECC memory.

There is plenty of DDR5, its not even very expensive, its DDR5-ECC where the prices go stratospheric.

There is another thing that has kept me from moving on - when I moved I often found the grass wasn't greener, it was just a different texture.

One of my favorites of Bradbury’s.

Haunting.

Just gotta stay ahead of the heat curve!

Also well seasoned cast iron is dishwasher safe, there is very little you can do to kill a cast iron pan.

I've always called this radio or dispatcher ear.

You see it in industry that uses radio too.

109m is a perfectly sensible measurement

We would all have been better off if Boeing had replaced the 737 with the 757 as intended. Its quieter, more comfortable, and a better aircraft all around.

Arizona Iced Tea at least nominally includes ‘tea’
