but only in the context of the DMA (since facebook is a giant). this rule does not apply for smaller sites (like most news outlets)

I think the title is just nonsense. It's only about the release of a new version of Blender, which was used to make Flow.

China only requires it for their citizens. The UK asked access to any person's data in the world.

I was also worried about my wrong perception of hybrids being too complex. I recommend people to check on how e-CVT transmissions work, they are quite amazing and simple.

I also have now an hybrid Corolla (the station wagon version the US does not get. Because we all now Station wagons are the superior form of car.)

awnings also make a difference when getting a home's energy efficiency certificate. having them in your south facing windows helps a lot getting a higher score.

This is particularly true in the case of Cookie Banners. regulation has been clarified and now most sites do have a explicit "reject all" button/link that is next to "accept all". This was not the case when the law was first introduced.

it is absolutely possible to achieve the same without ads. your city simply does not want to do it.

maybe you think this way because you assume the open source code is meant to be a product.

I think they do it mostly to make it easier to build an ecosystem of developers. Plenty of companies do this (Adobe is another one). They release some basic part or engine of their product so developers can work with it without compromising their business.

I wonder if we will start seeing Open Source licenses that explicitly forbid using code for model trainings.

Depends on how you look at the problem. if you look at it as a health problem it makes sense.

New comment by juanpicardo in "Five origami books by Shuzo Fujimoto are now public domain"

juanpicardo — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 12:23:43 +0000

"Akira Yoshizawa. Japan's Greatest Origami" is a great place to start. it has models ranging from very simple to medium complexity. From there you can look into popular authors like Michael LaFosse (who appears in the documentary). He has many books for beginners (his butterflies are very famous). Once you are confident on your skills, get an insect book from Robert Lang to experience the Dunning-Kruger effect in full force.

For kids, it depends on their age. Mine started around 5 and 6 with small origami kits I bought in amazon (printed in creases makes things easier). For older kids you can find many books with specific themes. Just find one that your kid is interested in (animals, boxes, Pokemon, Star Wars, etc). They all tend to be rather simple.

Also, avoid printing paper. It only works for very simple models. Tuttle publishing sells some nice packages with 100~200 sheets that are nice for simple to medium models.

You can also find tons of free diagrams on the internet. /r/origami in Reddit also has a nice community you can check out.

-Edit I forgot to mention Jo Nakashima. He has a youtube channel with great videos to follow.

it's suited mostly for large multinationals. I havent used drupal or wordpress at that scale, but if you have website that you need to rollout to >30 countries in many languages AEM might be for you.

just an example of the kind of companies that use it. apple, intel,etc .e.g https://jobs.apple.com/en-in/details/200207733/aem-engineer

This seems to assume that the current bicycle design is obvious and inevitable, but that is not true. The bicycle went through a lot of different designs before we got the "safety bicycle" in the 1880s. Here is a small video showing some previous designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6lgUlEUFU

You need to be a resident of the EU to be covered. Also,EU nationals living abroad wont be covered.

Most business will want to comply because the EU market is quite large.
