That means that if the Internet Archive and its partner libraries have only one copy of a book, then only one patron can borrow it at a time, just like other library lending.
Lending and renting stuff is not piracy! Many corporate suits want people to start believing this. but i remember going to the library and renting books, movies and games. it was not piracy back then, and it wont be now.
Not quite true. My grandfather was a carpenter specialised on furniture and windows. He would say everything off 0.1 mm or more is that bad that you have to redo the piece. And he was right: A 0.1 mm gap in a joint is an ugly and very visible gash in your work.
If the error is less than 0.1 mm it is still not good work, but you can hide it with glue and sawdust. It is still rather easy to detect if you run your fingernail over it, but at least it is not that visible anymore.
He used big machines and hand tools, but no milling, CNC or other computer controlled machines. So decimals in millimetres are definitely useful outside of milling and the precision is achievable - even for me, who isnt a professional woodworker.
Depends on the system and where you live. In hand writing, i would use 3,635 mm for decimals. However, on computer 3'635 mm to write 3.635 m.
Personally, I like the high comma as a thousands separator as it removes possibilities to misread the number. But not everyone will agree.
While technically phages are viruses, i think it is important to label them as phages.
Typically a virus does not look like a robot. The by now rather well known SARS-CoV-2, with its spherical shape is a more common depiction of a virus: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus
Bacteriophage look like little robots and from the view of a bacterium - they probably are the equivalent of a terminator: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage
looks like itch.io is down too. might be a coincidence or someone trying to show off...

@[email protected] already mentioned one. And it does not really matter what the can do specifically to you. It matters what they can do and that you have no control. If you want to know what people can do with just your username look at this project: https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock. Now imagine what someone with more data can do.
Yes but No. For most people writing this kind of mail should not be a problem. However, for many different reasons it can become difficult to write such things: This mail is some kind of formal letter and alters a contract. Let's imagine someone with a learning disability, they may be able to sign up for a online service, as they have done it many times. Writing a formal letter they may not have done many times and they cannot map past experiences the same way as a neurotypical person.
Depending on the local law this may be a reason why forced arbitration has to be opt-in: Typically the law should protect the weaker party. As the barrier for writing this letter is higher than the sign-up process, there is an argument that the chosen opt-out process of discord is targeted against some of their weakest customers.
Good question, but: Why would Discord ever expect to be in a lawsuit or arbitration with you? Most people, like you, use it to chat with people they barely know and give them no money. Still discord think it is necessary to take away legal rights from all their users.
