I think tweet embedding is a highly javascript version dependent thing.

Tomtits. I think the near one was a fledgling.

Hard News: MegaBox: From f**k-all to zero, in reply to Russell Brown,
It tends to be a function of art as well.
There is some very interesting stuff around creators "moral rights" (related to copyright) in other jurisdictions. In particular the rights of creators to the integrity of the work (not having in altered) that could play out very interestingly in relation to the injecting of ads kind of thing.

It presents interesting legal issues though
Particularly in relation to the organizations it is close partners with. There are fairly regular cases of news organization A uses audio sourced from B in its bulletin, and uploads the bulletin to youtube. B goes to upload its original material to Youtube. Youtube's algorithms find the match and declare B to be an infringement of A. Hilarity ensues. I am in particular think of "Scripps Local News" and Nasa's own footage of the Mars landing.

I'd actually be focusing the camera in on a bellbird that had been on the branch, when the Tui swooped down with everything extended and chased the bellbird off, so I took the shot. I said to my daughter "if that is in focus it is going to be a great picture"- I didn't know at the time if I had gotten the Tui all stretched out in the few moments before it moved again.

and Diplomatic Protection Squad boys are going – it’s not a cheap thing keeping someone at Scott Base for 4 days….
I assumed it is to protect Key from being in the dangerous situation of being asked questions he can't run away from.

Simply put, the previous (flawed) link you posted about 2012 temperatures was about Continental U.S. temperatures. This is about global temperatures. These are not the same things. The second article is not evidence of the first (in fact if the Pacific Ocean was unusually cooler in 2012 [note, this is not the continential U.S.], and 2012 was one of the warmest years in history [all via the article] it means that other places around the world must have been even hotter [oh, gosh, like the Continental U.S.], that is what global average temperature means [you combine the readings of a bunch of different places, some lower, some higher]).
While I tend to agree with you about sustainable agriculture, the mistakes in reasoning you make in cases like this, or the flawed reasoning in in other links you have posted does make you appear as a Typhoid Mary of mal-reasoning on climate science (she didn't believe she was carrying invisible "germs" despite havering it repeatedly pointed out, so would not stop spreading the infection). As I get no pleasure from spending my leisure time repeatedly pointing out these kind of mistakes, I will now join most others in quaranteening myself from these kind of links.
