I mean people always called out WeWork as just another intermediary, with no value added (besides cost overhead). And they somehow wanted to be called an "tech" company. Even before pandemics it was called risky when they long-ter

I am afraid that if NVidia really fought it in court, the publishers would just turn to DRM with activation limits.

In principle? Of course. I mean I remember blocking Yandex bots from hammering some e-commerce site on shoestring budget. But each person developing a web scrapping bot realizes at most after a week that being honest with User-agent has neg

Speaking of expensive - if they stop the service (or even never start it) - who will maintain the tunnels? Looks like huge liability. Would refilling it with some material actually work (in terms of possible surface buildings damage)?

It looks from outside that they are doing relatively OK. Ruble still didn't crater, the high prices of fossil fuels partially compensated lower exports. They try to increase the trade with China and India to offset sanctions. Of course

There is a significant amount of goods moving via Georgia. To be exact they move them from Georgia proper to part occupied by Russian separatists. That is totally different from smuggling stuff to Russia. Exports from Germany to Georgia wer

Is there any research that actually confirms it? I mean it is the prevailing sentiment on HN, and my own gut feeling - but it might all be just a confirmation bias and/or good old nostalgia (somehow everything was better in the past).

The only thing I find more annoying that "fusion = totally 0 radiation" is the idea that it somehow will provide "free" energy. With any power plant, no matter the fuel, there will be cost of construction(with a limited

I am not sure I understand it correctly. It is not about Google News ripping article title and summaries but platform users sharing links? Publisher wanted to be paid for that?

I don't think this is true for a while (5 years). There are view limits and I still find embedded maps that look just like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50977913/google-maps-sho... .

Here we go again, MS makes their Java version :D Looking at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/java/openjdk/faq they do it just for Azure, which kinda makes sense, Amazon did the same(custom build/fork)

How exactly does it stop bots? At best it stops everything, but full blown browsers, from communicating with web servers (that includes `curl` and web security scanners). Even if it kills stuff like Selenium, bots can just use mouse/ke

Well, enterprise VPN clients have build in similar attestation[0]. So probably there are cases when it could be useful in browsers. The question is not if there are use cases, it is "can we stop all websites from requiring it?" an

I liked local "Italian restaurant ad" Ponzi. I mean it still looked like scam to me, but I can understand why people fell for it. Scheme can only last for few months, a year at most, so the organizer must be ready to GTFO as soon

Depends on who's fiefdom you encroach upon (and language version). I think SO "culture" is more equalized, even among multiple tags.

At this point in time we can second guess the "they pay for traffic". AFAIK Firefox market share dropped significantly but Google payment stayed mostly the same. Maybe it is now more about not facing antitrust scrutiny, just like
