    Does that mean that Anne Sacoolas will be extradited to the UK?

    I thought that the first amendment was about people rather than companies. In addition to that there are many products where companies have to display certain information, such as …

    You can, as long as you give the user the ability to replace the library. Such as by providing .o files.

    One of the "open source" licenses that it is under is LGPL, you can do whatever you want with your code. (Although this does not mean that you should, please avoid publishing close…

    I hate this. If I know the password I should be able to log in to my account no matter what (unless if I have 2fa enabled). Sadly companies like Google and MS do not like this idea…

    You are probably looking for Qt.

    "Note that any data can be transferred over HTTP(S), including, on occasion, either compiled or uncompiled LaTeX." Sure, but I don't see what this has to do with anything. As for y…

    To respond to your question: no. Not sure why you linked me the PDF 2 specification. PDF/UA is from 2012, and the ability to tag PDF files for accessibility is a thing since 2001 (…

    "e.g., ePub" So, at the end you are going to serve html at the browser. You can do that with web1

    Is this why after all these years there is STILL no sane way to make accessible pdfs from LaTeX? LaTeX is almost never semantic. People are encountered to think only about the docu…

    I talked about the compilation aspect at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29372937 In addition to that there are various checkers for html. There is lua-based LaTeX and js-base…

    Username checks out? Are people who compile markdown, org (or even LaTeX) via pandoc into html somehow "garbage coders"?

    Don't make assumptions about me. A LaTeX document is also virtually never directly consumed by web browsers. In addition to that we are considering LaTeX for the web, not DVI, not …

    "must"? A web4 browser would probably use a "runtime compiled" implementation. "Whilst that may still pass poorly-structured documents and result in poorly-formed output" - this by…

    Nor a "first-class" TeX element either. \footnote is just a macro.

    I honestly don't see any advantage to LaTeX over html+svg+css+mathml+??? for any usecase. Everything that LaTeX does the things that I mentioned do better.

    Oh, fair enough. Still though, they should be able to sue them if Apple can sue NSO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29320986

    I don't really see the issue. It's not like some sort of deadly sin. If the users re-use passwords then that's on them.

    Tails should be able to sue Facebook then, right? https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2020/06/facebook_help...

    And instead you get an ascii-art layout :p I think that as long as they skip site-supplied css it should be kinda fine.

    I do not see how the things that you mentioned could not apply to an https+html subset.

    Web 3.0 refers to the semantic web specifically, nothing to do with crypto. You are confusing it with "web3". And no, web 2.0 is not the semantic web. "Okay, glad we agree on reali…
