It should have been regulated from the start. We see this happening every time a new financial instrument comes out and the feds are slow to act.

Starting to? That's been going on for at least the last 3-4 years. Akamai tends to rely on that more than Cloudflare and in my recent experience Akamai is winning that game and browser emulation alone, headless or not, isn't going

In my experience bot detection is moving more towards looking at network activity and IP reputations. Using a proxy will go along way, it's easy to implement, and the cost can easily be passed onto the customer.

De-escalation requires willingness. It's convenient for both Israel and Iran to escalate considering they both have hardline governments and growing opposition.

I get it but what did they expect Carter to do? Secretly sell Iran stinger missiles and use the proceeds to fund a civil war in Nicaragua while supplying Saddam Hussein weapons for his invasion of Iran?

I’m a huge fan of the man despite the fact that I wasn’t alive when he was president. He strikes me as possibly the kindest, humblest and most compassionate man who has possibly ever occupied the Oval Office. The complaints about him that I

The amount of trust people are willing to place in AI is far more terrifying than the capabilities of these AI systems. People are too willing to give up their responsibility of critical thought to some kind of omnipotent messiah figure.

That doesn't mean that problems that can be solved at the macro scale should only be solved at the macro scale. If, for whatever reason, the best solutions aren't being implemented that doesn't mean no solution should be im

That's also true of Typescript, which has been wildly successful and taken over the javascript ecosystem. The main advantage of types is that it makes your code more maintainable by adding guardrails. You'll still possible run int

So the executives are prioritizing money to shareholders over employees, which makes sense of course because the executives are of course large shareholders. I’d be curious to know if they’re cutting their option grants.

I suspect that customers who bought FSD also hold Tesla stock and that's why there haven't been as many complaints.

Yeah they mention that in 2 of the 6 points arguing in favor of behaviors: 2. The application programmer writes sequential code, all concurrency is hidden away in the behaviour; 4. Easier for new team members to get started: business logic

If you know the altitude above sea level and the density is uniform then it should be possible to calculate how how much ice is below the surface and the thickness. Sonar should be able to measure the distance from the sub to the ocean floo

I do miss the pre-docker days of using capistrano to deploy rails projects. Most deploys would take less than two minutes in the CI server and most of that was tests. The deploys were hot and requests that happened during the deploy weren&#
