EPUB 3.x spec uses “XHTML” to refer to the XML serialization of HTML in the current WHATWG HTML living standard, not the separate historical standard from HTML known as XHTML.
The obsolete EPUB 2.x (and earlier, I believe) specs actually used XHTML (XHTML 1.1 in EPUB 2.x), though.
Yes, that is an important point. I guess I was focused mainly on the browser. Which is not the typical way to consume epubs. But you are right that ePubs are essentially packaged XHTML.
I'm a bit miffed about the dash. I wish it was a colon. Then well established XML could be simply name-spaced in, and then either styled with css and enhanced with JS. I suspect it wouldn't be that difficult to write something for nginx or apahce that simply converted the colon to a hyphen. Oh well, it cannot be 1999 forever.
Wow, they throw some serious spars at these duodecimal people:
> the problem is that Latin uses base ten, so bases larger than ten end up with names that put a bit too much of an emphasis on their relationship with decimal: undecimal, duodecimal, tridecimal, etc. people who like base twelve like to call it "dozenal" instead of "duodecimal" for this exact reason. these names are simply too biased in decimal's favor. ideally, every base should have a unique name that reflects its properties, rather than trivial information about its size.
wait is your email really username@username.net? I registered java.lang.string (at) gmail back when I was learning java 20+ years ago. Haven't really used it in over a decade though.
Can it become a proxy for AI companies to collect patient data and medical history or "train" on the data and sell that as a service to insurance companies.
There's HIPAA but AI firms have ignored copyright laws, so ignoring HIPAA or making consent mandatory is not a big leap from there.
I think this is a case where I simply don't know enough, but couldn't auto-pilot be a lot easier and safer when adding a new axis? A lot fewer things to run into in the air, and if you could just rise or fall a couple dozen feet to avoid an collision seems safer.
The big limitation of autopilots is that they can't handle emergencies. By their nature emergencies are unpredictable so programmers can't reliably code for emergency situation handling in advance. An experienced human pilot at least has a chance to figure out a solution by reasoning from first principles and reacting intuitively to novel situations. These new eVTOL aircraft have a certain amount of redundancy built in but realistically if anything goes seriously wrong they're just going to spin and crash (or maybe pop a recovery parachute if so equipped and within the flight envelope for those to work).
Autopilots also can't handle VHF voice comms (with a very narrow exception for the Garmin Autonomí system in certain situations) or perform "see and avoid" traffic management in VFR.
Not sure about the autopilot part (even planes autopilots follow a flight path). I'm not an expert either, but with roads, there are clear lanes and markings. And ability to generally see around you, and judge distance.
Is what sets the lanes in the air are traffic controllers and flight plans? We're already short on traffic controllers. And there are already lots of near-misses (and not near-misses) even with the heavy regulation and control. Can't imagine having it as mass personal transit driven manually. There'd need to be a mass central system that controls everything, and in that case, might as well just keep it commercial
The energy efficiency isn't great either on personal aircraft
If it's autopilot you could probably also channel the vehicles to specific routes such that they maintain a road like set of channels where they're flying so the rest of us can not worry about random flying cars zooming around our yards and playgrounds.
We already do this with planes which have corridors they fly along.
A small comment for anyone new to xslt. The author references a wildcard rule in the comments [0]. While that is true, they are calling an identity transformation [1]. Identity transformations are very common in xslt.
FWIW, I see your comment. Also late to the thread though. This ruling is being watched at my office. I want to be a bit anonymous, but we've been doing a much more analogue version of some of these things for 75 years. With academics being our primary market. We've only had two legal issues in that time. Both settled out of court. But we walk a fine line.
