I used to scrape back in the day when it was easy (literally just make a request and parse html). Seems cloudflare checkboxes / human verification are very commonplace nowdays. Curious how(/if) web scrapers get around those?

True that an offshore wind turbine can produce 15MW. But it can cost $100m+ just for 1 turbine (built and installed). If drones are going up anyway (to protect a city/citizens from strikes), then electricity generation is effectively f

The surprise here is how little of an effect it has. Deactivating facebook makes you only 1/16th of one standard deviation happier. And instagram even less. And this was measured during elections, when the effect is likely to be grea
