This is probably one of the best lawyer notices I've ever read.

I think that's the point being made in the banner message / plea. Here we are, still able to see that content.. and so can search engines and AI. No one here at HN has done anything to remove the content that only exists to attack

Detect AI scraper and inject an in-page notice that by continuing they accept your terms of use. Terms of use charges them per page load in some terminology of abuse. Profit... By sending them invoices :-)

Yep? I mean it's threatened every time by Republicans. But it's usually just grandstanding... Take Obamacare for instance. It was threatened to be repealed constantly, over and over, But even when they had full control and could d

+1 to this. My employer can be really bad at paying NET30, especially on fluctuating "pay for what you use" bills due to all the bureaucracy. Since it's not a fixed amount it can't be rubber stamped by anyone... And dear

There's a proven track record with the Republican plan and USPS that they like to sabotage the agency and then point to the dysfunction they created as a reason to get rid of it. I fully suspect that we're going to hear that sever

Doing a quick look at their homepage and pricing pages I don't think it's communicating it's value proposition well... Or I just don't understand this use case. Am I missing something? Is there more to this than syncing

But as I tried to highlight, the more valuable the YouTube account, the more likely they actually have an account manager at Google. Additionally, they probably have staff, and it's not actually the "star" that you would be e

Oh darn, my youtube email was leaked... It certainly stinks that mybusinessname@gmail.com is now known to the world... There's certainly bad things that CAN be done to a number of people with information when it's a personal email

I think it depends on what you're trying to gauge for safety. Pre-2000 satedy improvements were heavily about WHEN you get into an accident... Post 2000 it is heavily is heavily DON'T get into an accident, and it's heavily el

Indeed. Force the seller to be the retailer itself and see if you still have this problem... Any other seller is (at a glance) indistinguishable as a legitimate business or a scalper/scammer.. and there's plenty of legitimate busi

But it also takes very little effort or cost... It's effectively free money at their scale.. no bandwidth fees, no storage, no user membership, etc... it's hard to sell a pile of junk no one wants to watch in a subscription too --

Yet Kagi is one of the very very few services I've seen that sends a monthly reminder that they are ABOUT to charge you... And you have time to stop it. Typically I only ever see something like that with shipped goods where they might

I certainly agree there's a connection from the gut to the rest of our body (including mood) that we still don't understand... But I'm curious if you've done anything to rule out psychosomatic ? I saw a brief mention tha

There's a similar pay game called "Blood on the Clocktower". You probably wouldn't like it, but those who like Werewolf or Mafia might want to give it a look.

I agree with you, but also want to point out: New authors, self-publishers, can't afford tens of thousands of dollars to get an audiobook recorded professionally... This can limit their distribution. Authors might even choose not to ma

I agree it probably isn't a great idea to publish it... I'm guessing some malicious actor could find a way to use this information to fiddle with the remaining benefits their family might be receiving... That said, the _typical_ t

True, but that doesn't discount that it's a win for Meta 1) Shouting matches create more ad impressions, as people interact more with the platform. The shouting matches also get more attention from other viewers than any calm fact

The only thing I don't like about car comparisons here is that, unlike cars, a household robot could have a plugged in offloaded computer. The robot could be stripped to sensors and motors, and whatever is necessary for failsafe operat

Just because NYCTMC doesn't record doesn't mean NYC Police, or any other group doesn't... Could have been intentionally coordinated or not at the beginning, but it almost certainly is recorded by several players now

I agree so much, but the pessimist in me says that this isn't _really_ free, and I don't want to plug in a cool person's info without knowing who the info is being sold to. If this was publicly available document so I could f

Cloudflare is a CDN that added R2 storage, which leverges the CDN, to some extent, by default it seems AWS made S3 as data storage, then added CloudFront for CDN purposes. The CDN is an optional addon which may or may not make sense... E.g.

Yeah, felt like it positions itself as open source project here and on GitHub, but buries the cost in other pages... Doesn't even say the subscription cost anywhere I could find (in English). Not a huge fan of this advertising model.
