The reverse is true as well. I traveled in India with a friend from China who used their Chinese sim card in India, and their data was censored through the firewall. Really annoying to be outside China and not able to use Google maps.

Railscasts taught me so much when I was first learning web development right out of university. I used to watch Railscasts episodes religiously when they came out. I don't know if I would have grown as much as a developer without being

Can confirm, using a non-root user also solves the issue (which I should have been doing anyway). It guess Cloud Run assumes $HOME is set to /home/something and since root uses /root it gets confused?

True! That would have also been a smart move

Ugh that's embarrassing. It seems like it works for most words, but has a few obnoxious outliers like "male" that I can't figure out why they score as female. It might just be a quirk of the dataset or something :/

This is solved in real life by taxes which make it uneconomical to sit on high value land while doing nothing with it. If it's not high value then who cares, feel free to squat. The problem is ICANN just charges $10/month per .com

Raising the price would solve the issue overnight. It doesn't need to be a uniform price increase, either - ICANN can guess which domain names are likely to be pricey based on length, dictionary words, or other heuristics. It can'

Do you know why? I also wonder this. I think I followed the paper correctly. My theory is that maybe there's a default male bias in the English languge?
