Let me add more: crawling the web is costly for EVERYONE. The more crawlers out there, the more useless traffic is being served by every single website on the internet. In an ideal world, there would be a single authoritative index, just as

You are comparing Apples and Oranges. You just can't compare the barrier of entry for Software business and an Airline, even without any regulations. It's just orders of magnitude more expensive to buy an airplane than a laptop, a

I think [1] is quite irrelevant to be honest. Blocking DNS isn't a destructive operation. I've been using pi-hole for years and I simply block everything and cherry-pick a few exceptions here and there when something breaks. I onl

I've significantly reduced my use of `namedtuple` since DataClasses were introduced, but I confess I never did much performance comparisons between the two. I assume the `namedtuple` syntax is more pleasing for Functional favorable pro

There's nothing in the post or in most of the application that informs the applicant there's a restricted list of locations they are allowed to apply from. Only the very last question in the application displays the list of the av

Not to being too much politics into the discussion, but Mr. Morais is hardly a leftist. In fact, he's been put there by the very president that removed Mrs. Dilma Rouseff, Michel Temer, who is quite obviously on the right side of the s

I was also baffled by them going after Starlink when it happened. Just like you, I found it absurd to go over a different company just because some person owns stakes on both of them. Then, Starlink refused to block Twitter, and with that t

The actions are legal, in the sense they have been approved by the Supreme Court. We can argue about the morality of the Supreme Court deciding on the legality of their own actions, but in practice, they are, by all means, legal. BBC has a

One situation that comes to mind is configuration of applications on containers using environment variables. It's extremely valuable to be able to just `grep -r PREFIX_` on a codebase and be able to visualize all possible configuration

Not yet, until they do, quite literally. One of the principles Brazilian Law is based off is something called "Principle of Inertia" (which I can't find a proper translation since I keep stumbling into sixth grade Physics). I

I'm sorry, but you must be confusing what a legal representative is, or we are getting lost in translation here. The legal rep for Twitter in Brazil was not just some Lawyer defending Twitter in court. They were effectively the Owner a

Yes, and establishes a BRL 50k daily fine for the users themselves if they circumvent the blockage by any means to get access to Twitter. To me, that's punishing the users, who have no part in the legal ordeal, for the incompetence of

Well, that's how being a legal representative of any company in the World works.

I don't really get the idea behind fining people for using Twitter over VPN's either. That reeks of lawyers unable to understand the basics of how the Internet works. Threatening their legal rep with prison is, however, perfectly

It's not about serving them. They have already been served multiple times, refused to comply, got fined and refused to pay the fines. Pulling out their office was simply a means to avoid paying fines, that's all. There's no b

They can't and won't delete any apps from your phone, but the apps would be gone from the stores, which does not make it much less of a bullshit. Restricting access to X makes sense: the platform has removed themselves from the co

The text is weird. It kind of looks like they meant to write something else entirely. The order does say Apple and Google must take down the VPN apps, but the way it's been written makes me think it was intended to order VPN apps to ma

Exactly like that! Isn't that cheaper and more convenient to produce than massive improvements in material science?

Naive question here: would not it be possible, and immensely cheaper, to achieve the same effect by having a horizontal screen that projects light at an angle over a vertical frame? Kind of like the good old slide projectors? With powerful

Somehow I read this as "my mental model of self was wrong" and it totally resonated with me. Then I saw it was about LISP, which I don't know/use and got a little bummed out. Now maybe my mental model of self is wrong an

I'm a carnivore, but that's a very weak argument. Even if it were true - it isn't, incisors are for cutting grass and fruits too - humans are more than anything, adaptable, and our survival and evolution sits on the top of t

You're being nice. I plain cringed when I saw the headline. This sounded like a tool designed by some evil entity to bring destruction upon the World.

There's some sound advice in this thread, including the obvious ones: talk to a therapist, psychiatrist, get disciplined, etc. etc. What some people don't get is that for the person on the other side, all these advices are usually
