hopefully a lot of local libraries will have access. i could spend hours sifting through this.

Unfortunately, it's not likely. The full text back to 1925 (of articles, with no images) has been available on ProQuest for a while, and many libraries subscribe to that which is ok, but lacking all the great photos, cartoons, ephemera etc.

Many libraries also subscribe to Libby/Overdrive which does include the full images of all the pages, but Libby only provides coverage for the past year. Unfortunately publishers of newspapers and magazines often offer great archival content of this sort on their websites, but don't allow libraries to license it for their patrons.


I saw them all on the High Seas recently, but each year is ~20GB of PDFs.

i upvoted you, but it would be very helpful to add a description to what you’re linking rather than just dropping it with no description whatsoever.

Thanks. At least in this particular case, the question was pretty clear, so I skipped the description. Also, I wish HN would automatically expand links when the whole post has nothing else.

does disney think a future is coming where the company who owns the model may be able to claim copyright on anything it’s model creates?

because that’s the only way this makes sense to me.


i’ve said it before on similar stories and i’ll say again, ill never understand people who put cameras inside their house.


What about non-internet connected cameras?

I use one for when my place is vacant, and it just records to SD card with major changes being kept and the rest overwriting. Keep it relatively hidden and should I be burgled at least there's something to show the police.


I had one for keeping an eye on my dog when I first started leaving him out of his crate while I went to work. It did not record to the cloud, and I would physically unplug it when I came home.


> Everyone that needed to verify for their own sanity did indeed find proof.

i suspect in more than a few of those cases. their severe paranoia behavior actually led to the break which led directly to the cheating.

seriously, if you’re that paranoid, either seek individual/couples counseling or just end the relationship, something else is very very broken.

and if your partner is tracking you, run fast and run far, that person is not well.


Suspects cheating.

Finds evidence of cheating.

"Try not being so paranoid."


removing a bunch of the context of what i said does not somehow magically alter what i was expressing in my post.

that’s very bad faith, hn is better than that.


Oh are we not making bad faith arguments now?


partner installing cameras to try and catch them cheating? that’s creepy af, no wonder they’re cheating.

if they can’t leave their creepy partner for some reason, hopefully they look up how to bypass security cameras in an obvious way just to annoy the creepy guy.


people participating as beta testers with no way to opt out is absolutely the norm now.

from video games to software to “self-driving” cars, we’re all unpaid beta testers for unfinished and often unsafe products.


this seems like credit bureaus charging us to protect our data they keep losing.


> The problem in USA is that producing insuline is so regulated that setting up and maintaining production is obnoxiously expensive.

i don’t buy it. no other oecd nation has insulin prices as absurd as the us. this is a greed problem.

the only people to blame when the government starts producing insulin will be the pharmaceutical companies and their refusal to be decent members of society. if they were even a tiny fraction more decent they wouldn’t be in the mess they’re directly causing.

far too often companies are directly to blame for regulation as they repeatedly absolutely refuse to self-regulate and be decent pieces of society.


>this is a greed problem.

I'll take it even further, if you look at the price of goods over time, it's even possible to see the ebb and flow of greed in the numbers:

I wonder if prices are really a measurement of fluctuations in some underlying supernatural or cosmic psychic force?


Greed explains nothing. People will be greedy when they are incentivized to be greedy, and thrifty when they are incentivized to be thrifty. There are plenty of incentives, I might add, for regulators to be greedy though.


> this is a greed problem.

Also that. But overregulation makes too hard for others to compete and offer cheaper insulin.


Which may also be expressed as an expectation for a particular quality at a particular cost. There are no deadweights to exploit in insulin production. It seems to some people that regulation is the deadweight but without that quality guarantee you’re dependent on suppliers which duplicates the cost of “self regulation” across the sector.


this is a fantastic book. immediately what i thought about the instant you mentioned the church committee.
