I am sure their pages are not entirely static either. The APIs are used by researchers and AI companies too. Also with search you end up having people trying to use it for RAG with AI. I have dealt with this all and there is no one dead sim

You can to some degree with Cloudflare and other solutions. But, do you want to block them all? AI is a very useful tool for people to discover information and summarize results. Especially in scholarly publishing where one would have to pr

You see this in other areas too like academia being afraid they will get the ire of the administration and lose money. For a lot of firms they don't want to suddenly get their government contracts dropped by speaking out. This is how t

CDN is one part of strategy to deal with load. But it is not the only solution unless your site is exclusively static content. Their search, APIs, submission pipelines, duplicate detectors and a lot of other things are not going to be power

I don't think it is that. I work for an org with close ties to arXiv, and just like us they are getting a lot more demand due to AI crawling. As a primary source of information there is a lot of traffic. They do have technical issues f

I think you are conflating "working multiple jobs" with working multiple jobs during the same time period and lying to the other jobs about what you are doing when you cannot be reached. There is a big difference. If I work 9-5 on

It is a LOT different to be working multiple jobs at different times of the day. This is not what this is. This is trying to get away with working 2 or more jobs at the same time and making up excuses about why you can't make an on cam

Because it is the technical definition of the words and that is exactly what it is. Something not being illegal does not mean that it isn't fraud or stealing. Misrepresenting your availability and willfully trying to cover that is is f

Another remote employment fraud that is much more prevalent is "Overemployment". You will get an applicant that is very skilled and hits the interview out of the park. But then when hired they are working many jobs and just trying

One thing missing in the inflation discussion is asset inflation. Yes government measured inflation went down while stocks and every other asset kept going up. This is a massive transfer of wealth and spending power to those who have assets

It is exceedingly rare to make over 200k in govt. Most heads of agencies and other high level roles are GS-15 which tops out around 195k What you USED to get in exchange for less salary was stability as government jobs were viewed as less v

Everyone at Amazon (The only company I have seen using it) hated using Chime, and it wasn't at all on the level of competitors. So I think it was just an unsuccessful product.

This is a growing pattern in hosting like Netlify and headless CMSs like Sanity. Their free model is "generous" and then if you go production and start to have overages you get billed exorbitantly for bandwidth and API requests. I

The start of the funnel is also the most racist and class discriminatory. Almost every school in the USA takes pupils from districts where the property owners pay the taxes for the schools. Rich areas get much more resources and support. Po

That is fine because then someone decides to buy something based on what it costs. The status quo is that some company decides to backload the cost with hidden fees and then all competitors need to follow by doing the same or they will be &

The value of the cars almost always goes down, and rental car companies churn through cars while making money on rentals. The problem with Teslas is not so much the depreciation, but more so that people don't want to rent them. They we

They subject us to meet with them as customers on Chime. This is despite everyone hating the product. CodeCommit was annoying because nobody uses it, and you had to touch adjacent projects like CodeStar to do something like trigger on a Git

I have tapped my own trees and doubt this is due to climate change. In fact more warm days would probably increase production. The days when you get the best and most sap is when there is a cold night (sub freezing) followed by a warm day.

I disagree that "Gentrification" started in the 80's in NYC. It was the 80's that made it not a wasteland of abandoned or intentionally burned buildings due to improving finances for the city government itself. However t

This sounds like it is a good first step and I appreciate someone is trying to tackle a problem that bilks people out of billions a year. Another thing that would help is hitting at the sources of revenue for these criminals. My mother was

You don't get charge for transit if you are sending stuff IN from the internet or to any other AWS resource in that region. So there is no QOS constraint inside except for perhaps paying for the S3 GET/SELECT/LIST costs. It i
