And immediately decriminalized.

MIT is a non profit entity.

I'm very aware of what reality is, that doesn't mean we should excuse the stupid or harmful things that go on in reality.

I wonder if future generations of chat AI bots will help with this.

Roosevelt was a very maverick type leader. So saying he was "republican" is kind of a stretch. He even set up his own Bull Moose party to run against his hand picked replacement Taft. So he had a lot of quirky approaches to problems. He was pro government and wanted it to be larger. Coolidge was pro business and wanted the government smaller. Over simplification on my part.

Her memoir sounds fascinating, truly.

I see that others have solved the problem for you, but keep in mind that sometimes public libraries can get books they don't own through interlibrary loan, at no extra cost to you. It's certainly worth asking when you're after a specific title. Also, some universities will allow local residents to use their library facilities: again, it's worth checking when after a difficult-to-find book.

There was no party switch.

Well the sand/water kept moving horizontally, but they stopped being accelerated horizontally. They still retained horizontal momentum after leaving the container.

Just got back into reading history books, and had to join reddit for this thread. Does anyone have any good recommendations on the Spanish Civil War? I am trying to find one that is fairly non-biased showing the violence and hatred of both sides.

Sure itd be nice but why would we wait to have private businesses do it when they never will? We can live in reality or your fantasy world where businesses in a capitalist market do things not for profit.

Damn if only those 10s of thousands of dollars MIT got per year per student went towards digitizing records so they wouldn't be behind a paywall.

Thanks!

It's been digitized and is available on the Internet Archive :)

Holy shit, I remember, and very much liked, "Julia," and was always a bit of a Lillian Hellman fan, but I had no idea about this. And the actuality is . . . Thanks, OP. "'Code Name 'Mary'" is now high on my list. Best of luck out there

I find using ResearchGate is one of the best ways of doing that. If the paper isn't already there for download they have "request text" button to contact the authors directly.

The paper isn't there for download, but it is listed and the "request text" button is active:

• https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365844139_Leonardo_da_Vinci%27s_Visualization_of_Gravity_as_a_Form_of_Acceleration

You can usually contact the authors directly, and they will be BEYOND overjoyed to send you a free copy.

Someone is paying for those services. Nothing is free, they could go tomorrow

Yes, and most grant-funded work is available to read for free (if you know where to look).

I'm surprised I never heard of her.

I work in a grocery store and I recognized that brand name, Swift, she was the heiress of. I looked it up to see if it was the same and it is!

Alas, still under copyright in the US until 2035, since she died in 1985.

There are a couple of copies in the area, but they’re in places like the Library of Congress or university libraries an hour away, so they’re not very accessible.

As they threaten to shutter their doors or sell out every year?

Also shows you know nothing about the library of Congress or other such government groups.

They aren't talking about the language barrier. They're saying the people that originally translate and digitize it (which takes a lot of time and effort), they deserve to be paid.

Whereas in fact it continues to move horizontally..... as well as falling to the ground. Had he noticed that, he might have preempted Newton.

Isn’t that what grants are?

Because there is more consistency in how Wikipedia has operated since it started existing than in most governments across different parties and mandates?
