Indeed. When publishing in a scientific journal, you usually (have to) give them an exclusive licence on your article.

Be aware that genetic algorithms are a type of evolutionary algorithms: Do you actually want to learn about genetic algorithms specifically, or more generally about evolutionary algorithms ?

Some Linux distributions (Debian for instance, so probably most Debian-based ones too) have sets of legacy drivers for older nvidia cards.

At the same time, EU mandates that new cars must have a system able to call help if it detects a crash with the driver not responding... And I suspect most manufacturers will argue that telemetry data are not PIIs until taken to court, so since they have to put a cellular connection anyway, why not use it?

Good luck having people forward an email a) with headers and b) in a way that doesn't break the signature...

They are common in France, but not in such packages: There are restrictions that prevent you from buying more than than 8g/day (theoretically at least, I don't believe they are strictly applied in practice).

Probably. When available, reader mode can also be activated by clicking the little "page with text" icon on the right of the address bar.

From your PoV maybe. I would be restless knowing that I may be silently losing important emails because they triggered some blackbox filter in such a way that they didn't even end up in my spam box...

The point is that fetchmail doesn't need an admin once it is configured.

> Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with. The diaeresis (the two dots) signifies that the underlying “e” is pronounced as /ɛ/ (as “e” in “bet”, i.e. the open e), no matter what comes around it, and is used in groups of vowels that would otherwise be pronounced differently.

Yes, but there are other uses. For instance, in "ambiguë", the ë itself is silent but signals that the u before it is pronounced as a standard u. Without the diaeresis, the u itself would be silent but would make the g hard (in French, g before e is soft).

I believe it is the same project that was discussed here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47385935

It's a poor life that doesn't put you on a few such lists!

It does indeed, yet if the review makes it clear that the text of a book is not at fault, that the crappy print on demand edition is the issue, it should not matter too much. It would even give them arguments to ask a few pointed questions to their publishers.

And aggregated over all the books that use print on demand, the editors will notice.

> The current solution? Just return the item.

Yes, and write a low stars review explaining the problem. Returns alone don't hurt future sales of identical items.

Good point! It shows that the settlements are far too low and that the victims should get a lot more.

If a few cities/states were to default due to debts coming from such cases, the others would start to take notice...

IIRC, it is nerfed out. It is more open core than actual open source, and the paywalled features of the online version are missing.

Yeah, that's why M-discs were created. Which only displaces the question to "will there still be drives to read them?"...
