Speak for yourself, the internet archive successfully increased its scope and made creative contributions to case law (although it lost at the appeals court)
Internet Archive certainly made creative arguments, all of which were soundly rejected under Summary Judgment. This had the opposite effect on the future we both want.
Under discovery in the case, it turned out that Internet Archive didn't keep accurate records of what they loaned out either. Another example of sloppy engineering that directly impacts their core mission.
The fate of the organization now rests on the outcome of other lawsuits. In one, Internet Archive argues that they are allowed to digitize and publish Frank Sinatra records because the pops and crackles on them makes it Fair Use.
If they did all this cleanly under a different LLC, I'd sit back and enjoy the show. But they didn't.
I think it's certainly incorrect (having known lots of people on both sides of that number, there are far far more below). Another comment thread suggested that startup equity is being taken at face value, which might justify the number but is totally ridiculous
Yep. Missing a deadline because your debt kicked off a death spiral is Jimmy the Facestabber coming looking for his vig at 25% a week and breaking your knees, gently pushing back some nice to have features next release while you deal with the debt is "only booked a 4 star hotel because the mortgage was paid first that month".
I've almost been hit by a car. I was crossing the street, they were turning left and failed to yield. Missed me by inches. I would NOT use the term traffic violence. At least not for that incident. It isn't the correct term. Draper the fact they knew I was there, and they were impatient. The word "violence" has a connotation that doesn't fit here.
This is a very surface level response without wondering why the Clip Zip would be a standout. Doubly so if you actually dive into how many dupes and how crappy most of the 78 results likely are.
The direction hardware development has gone for MP3 players since the Clip Zip (specifically regarding the amount of memory built into the SoC) means it running Rockbox (a well-regarded custom firmware for MP3 players) is likely to be drastically better than all of these that are remotely close to the same form factor. Sandisk's own successors to the Clip Zip are universally inferior and the superior alternatives weigh three times as much at multiples of the Clip Zip's RRP.
The modern replacement for the Sansa Clip Zip is a USB C mod and putting a new battery into your existing Sansa Clip Zip.
It's not just about form factor though, it needs to be able to do the same function or suitable replacement operations as well as the older device did.
A piece of junk that looks the same, has USB C and functions worse in every other way isn't a modern replacement for an extremely well regarded device amongst audiophiles.
