Yes, I told someone to inform themselves before making assumptions. Which, I think, is a reasonable expectation.
The rest of the comment was pointing out how archive.org acts like any other public library and therefore should not be treated differently. This does not carry hostility against the person I am replying to.
Please inform yourself. In these comments and on their website, it is covered that they do not provide books freely. Just like any other library books can be borrowed exactly as many times as they own a copy.
Just like any other library they sometimes provide a download for Adobe Digital Edition, which manages your lends on books. But as your friend with DRM stripping tools for sure can confirm: DRM is just an annoyance for legitimate customers, it forces legitimate users to use specific applications, while pirates get the freedom to choose how they interact with the not any more protected media. But this is a discussion for another thread as archive.org treats copyrighted books just like any other library.
Please go to archive.org > Books > Books to Borrow
Select any book which strikes your fancy. You will see a reading excerpt, like flicking through pages in a library. if you have a free account, you can lend it for 1h at a time.
Or look at this video https://dn720701.ca.archive.org/0/items/openlibrary-tour-2020/openlibrary.mp4
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...
