Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It’s too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

I’m kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees

Wouldn’t that be Thou (as frequently used biblically)?

Edit - looks like thou is actually the informal counterpart to “you,” so your question may be more like where’s the English tu? Lol

And edit again, after reading the link, yep. You is the formal one, thou became so informal as to be rude and fell out of use

In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, “ruin their life” isn’t IMHO the right way to go. I’d be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they’d better be supporting the people who depend on me.

You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc

Suing Tesla seems a little dumb to me. Sue the DMV that’s giving people like this licenses

Take the money back from all the other ISPs, too, please

Fucking wild. Happy to see that even though apple is certainly even more monopolistic in its app store setup

Hvdc and a truly global grid brings substantial changes in what you’re saying. With solar energy being extremely cheap, and storage being relatively expensive, even if you have substantial transmission losses, it can be worthwhile to transmit that solar energy. Would a long undersea cable be more effective than huge battery banks? Hard to tell but I don’t think it’s something I’d write off without hard numbers, it’s likely closer than you think

That’s not a reason not to do something, that’s just a reason something’s hard. If it’s too costly to run wire that’s one thing, but singling Hawaii out is kinda weird. I could definitely see a world where cabling Hawaii up would be worth it. A one time cost for laying cable vs the current shipping of oil (or god forbid a pipeline)…

Why not Hawaii?

Yeah, and I’m hopeful they’re more reliable without the on-brand hub, but we’ll see
