Sounds like you have zero empathy for the real costs AI is driving and feelings that this creates for website owners. How about you pony up and pay for your scraping?

You are missing the point. I don’t dispute the sales data, I agree with it, it supports my point. It’s not out of preference, it’s enforced by regulations and encouraged by the tax code. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect&#

Yeah, I came to the same exact conclusion last year. Heck, even Ford’s CEO drives a BYD and thinks their a major threat. This administration seems set on demolishing American industries though. Such a shame, but maybe we can finally get dec

How was my response uncivil? Your reply is bad faith because it provides no evidence.

Setting aside the moral component, and focusing on the economic; the Trump deportation plan is red carpet invitation for consolidation. Agriculture today is a declining mix of many medium and small growers, with a few mega growers that have

This seems like the perfect home media transcoding server (Plex, Kodi, etc). I am curious if these will ever be able to run Linux.

US military has no peer. USPS is very good, better and cheaper than UPS or FedEx. Wish antigovernment types didn’t lie and had actual complaints.

I don’t know if Firefox can be saved. I say that using Firefox for iOS right now. I use Firefox because it’s not chrome, not because it’s good. Mozilla’s reputation is trash, Firefox is riddled with ancient bugs, and the bleeding hasn’t sto

You say change things at the state level, but carefully don’t mention how that’s impossible in Texas. Care to give some advice how, or is that just a brush-off? There’s no state referendums in Texas. Republicans have a gerrymandered superma
