TorrentFreak – Anti-Piracy Outfit Rightscorp’s Corporate Status is Void Due to Unpaid Tax Bills

Jan 092022
 

Backed by the RIAA, several major music industry companies have taken some of the largest U.S. Internet providers to court.
The music companies accuse these providers of failing to terminate the accounts of the most egregious pirates by ignoring millions of copyright infringement notices. To make them whole, the labels demand hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.
This has already resulted in a massive windfall in the case against Cox, where a jury awarded a billion dollars in damages. The same music companies now hope to get the same outcome against and RCN, Charter, Bright House, and Grande Communications.
Rightscorp Evidence
Many of these lawsuits are centered around evidence from the anti-piracy outfit Rightscorp. The Delaware company collected settlements…

Planet Scheme – SRFI 232: An advanced currying form

Jan 092022
 
SRFI 232 is now in final status.

Scheme lacks a flexible way to create and apply curried procedures.
This SRFI describes lambda*, a variant of
lambda that creates true curried procedures which also
behave just like ordinary Scheme procedures. They can be applied to
their arguments one-by-one, all at once, or anywhere in between,
without any novel syntax. lambda* also supports nullary
and variadic procedures, and procedures created with it have
predictable behavior when applied to surplus arguments.

Also their list says nothing about abolishing the petition for convention nominees. New Mexico is the only state in which a convention nominee, after being nominated, must submit a petition to be on the…
