Unfortunately, it's not likely. The full text back to 1925 (of articles, with no images) has been available on ProQuest for a while, and many libraries subscribe to that which is ok, but lacking all the great photos, cartoons, ephemera etc.
Many libraries also subscribe to Libby/Overdrive which does include the full images of all the pages, but Libby only provides coverage for the past year. Unfortunately publishers of newspapers and magazines often offer great archival content of this sort on their websites, but don't allow libraries to license it for their patrons.
OpenTofu Project was recently made aware of a letter by HashiCorp’s lawyers, alleging that OpenTofu was not respecting the terms of its BSL license governing its Terraform codebase.
OpenTofu vehemently disagrees with any suggestion that it misappropriated, mis-sourced, or otherwise misused HashiCorp’s BSL code.
Indeed, it seems that HashiCorp may be conflating code that it had previously been open-sourced under the MPL and more recently developed code it published under the BSL.
OpenTofu’s maintainers have investigated this matter, and intends to issue a written response providing a more detailed explanation of its position in the coming days.
The CIO of Canada is part of the Treasury Board which is the body that oversees government spending, including government employees.
Real Time Rail is payments infrastructure. The national implementation of that would be overseen by The Bank of Canada which is responsible for monetary policy and part of the Ministry of Finance.
Not clear to me what OP is trying to say, and whether or not you agree with the decision, I'd argue it's pretty important to ensure the cybersecurity of some 300k public sector employees, many of whom have access to sensitive information
The role of neighborhood public libraries is to serve their community. They usually focus on providing equitable access to resources, especially more vulnerable populations. They rarely have the resources to conduct preservation of generally published works. You might see some preservation of titles of local interest. But it’s generally taken on by the central branches of larger public libraries in larger cities, university libraries, state libraries, the library of congress, and archives.
I’m not sure you’ve read this NPR article, as it actually explains a lot of nuance in the decisions that libraries need to make when discarding books.
That NPR story was great, thanks. The transcript is definitely worth reading for anyone curious about this.
In a nutshell, people can sometimes tell by your last name, and if they can’t, they will ask you questions about your background, such as what town and/or neighborhood your family is from, until they figure it out.
In one example in the story, a guy is outed as a Dalit by a coworker who knew him from college.
Outing a co-worker is pretty mean. And asking all kinda of private background questions in order to judge someone's social standing and treat them accordingly is intrusive and bigotted. As usual, racists are more often than not mean bigots.
It is somewhat different if you grew up in the caste system, and the discriminatory behaviour was just ingrained. If you start falling back to that based on, e.g., surname it's hard to avoid. Actively seeking information you can use to treat people like shit is a different level all together!

This also happens in the west and it's not caste-related. Go to a suburban barbecue or something, and observe: people will ask what you do for a living, which neighborhood you live in, how long have you been living here, where did you originally come from, and so on. Often they are doing this kind of small talk just so they can figure out where you are on the social totem pole.
most of the online library apps used by public libraries (like Overdrive/Libby) are built entirely around enforcing DRM so I think it's unlikely they'd allow easy access to the raw text
Most libraries have a way to request items for purchase and usually have budget to buy things that are requested, within reason and depending on their policies.
As well, you may want to look to see if you can get access through other librarires in Texas via the TexShare Card program. https://www.tsl.texas.gov/texshare/card
I don't think there's a consensus on that. Regarding words that some persons find deeply offensive:
- Some readers feel that using such words should be avoided simply because it's emotionally hurtful to certain individuals. Or because it reinforces beliefs they find abhorrent. Or for the pragmatic reason that it tends to end constructive discussion.
- Other readers feel that having policies against using such words does more harm than good, and stifles free and honest discussion. And coddles individuals who are too easily offended, when they should in fact use it as an opportunity to mature.
I think HN's audience skews more towards that first group. I'm sure other forums exist that skew the other way.
