A few silly things I didn't post to Four Short Links this week (a thread).

2. Republishing books under the actual name of the woman who wrote them, instead of the male pseudonyms they had to use to get published. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/aug/12/george-eliot-joins-24-female-authors-making-debuts-under-their-real-names
3. Australia is going to do some good things with their copyright law. (Including orphan works) Us too, please? https://www.zdnet.com/article/australia-to-reform-copyright-laws-in-face-of-digital-and-covid-19-world/
4. 'As an environment grows and its applications become world-spanning, it’s less a question of whether the site is up or down and more a question of “How down is it?”' https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/your-disaster-recovery-plan-is-a-joke-written-by-clowns/
5. Bad week for astronomers. First Musk puts a pearl necklace of 600 satellites in low Earth orbit, then Bezos's Project Kuiper says it wants to put 3000 up there, now Arecibo is out of commission. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/broken-cable-tears-100-foot-hole-in-arecibo-observatory-2020-8
