The web is broken.

The original promise of client/server services was that the server would provide data on a universal open data format, and the USER AGENT (initially a web browser, but other kinds were expected) would process it in a format to the liking of the user, and satisfying their needs.

Compare this to the current situation where the industry standard is that the servers do indeed provide data through somewhat standardized APIs, but the browser or native app is developed by the same vendor and serves their commercial interests, not those of the user as a customer. The only standard customization recognized to users is light theme / dark theme, and it has only started a few months ago.
A lot is riding on the unspecific usage of "safe" here.

I've never understood how a stationary bike with a screen and some sensors could cost more than or equal to an actual bike. Screens and sensors are cheap and the make of a peloton is also extremely cheap when compared to say a carbon frame bike.

I think the problem is the culture of alcohol in some countries… in Southern Europe has a culture of wine as part of a dining experience rather then as a recreational drugs and the effects are that has a lower alcoholism rates than countries where it is more seen as recreational (like Northern Europe or the US).

It may be a misreading, but not an intentional misrepresentation.

I suppose it depends on how you interpret the term "exploitation". Most frequently this is used implying some harm is being done to the exploited party. My comment is to argue this is not the case here, as they would be strictly worse off without this employment. The employer is certainly exploiting an opportunity to employ the undocumented worker, but (arguing about words here) that does not constitute them "being exploited". Arguably, both honest tax-paying employers and employees are "being exploited" by the government by way of it collecting income tax.

Depending on your point of view, the greatest harm here is either self-inflicted by the worker, by coming to the country and putting them self in this situation, or by the government, by inventing rules dictating that a person is not legally allowed to work, punitively disincentiving their becoming "documented" with the threat of deportation versus the convoluted immigration process, etc.

Giving it some thought, I can relate that there is some potential for exploitation in the sense that someone working under the table does not receive the same protections that a legal worker would under law, but it seems moot when the same government promising those protections says you're not entitled to work at all. Considering this, rather than outright condemning the employer, I defer to asking whether the employee is better or worse off in the end.
Whatever the truth behind whether SF has gone too far (it probably has), the sources do not back up the claims.

For example, the study showing that children born during COVID have lower cognitive scores, while probably valid, attributes this to stress faced by mothers during COVID, and not because of wearing masks, etc (which should be fairly obvious, since <18 month olds don't hang out on playgrounds, etc. before COVID anyways).
This was the path Mt Gox went after they were hacked. Didn't work out so well for them in the end.

Improving the requests being made against the OpenAI API is probably the biggest thing I'd be looking for right now. I am also considering switching over to their "search" API instead of the "Q&A" one currently available on the "questions" tab.

Thoughts on how it could be improved?
This is extremely exciting to me. While at my company we use Rust almost exclusively there's still lots of peripheral software we rely on in C and C++. Getting spatial memory safety nearly "for free" in those projects will make me feel way, way better.
They can say whatever they want. It is a completely different thing whenever that is legal or not.

I can say in a written agreement with my workers that they are my slaves, or that they can not work anywhere else ever. They can even accept those terms, but that does not make it legal.

I wrote a scraper for Air Canada's aeroplan program a few years ago. I wanted to track my points in my own custom native app. I probably had $10,000 worth of points in my account. One day I logged in to find out my account had been deactivated on suspicions of fraud. After several lengthy phone calls with their team (including sending them the node.js script I was using), I was able to get my account restored. For the weeks it took to fix my account it was pretty frustrating. I just don't understand why you can't write a script that acts as your web user agent.
Disclaimer: Founder of a company in the travel space that relies heavily on scraping.

What's interesting here is that there's conflicting precedent... and fundamentally that is what matters. hiQ vs LinkedIn is a great example of accessing data via a scraper that potentially violates the Terms of Services agreement, but found that Microsoft/LinkedIn violated antitrust laws. EF Cultural Travel vs Explorica is another example favoring scrapers. Against that, you have Facebook vs Power.com. Speaking personally, I'd like for clear and explicit rules about what is kosher to scrape and what isn't. Ticket bots are clearly problematic and deserve to burn in hell. Overly aggressive scrapers that incur load shouldn't get a free ride, but stuff like this that is initiated at the client's request and accessing solely the client's data.... I personally believe this should be fair use and would like to see that show up in the law somewhere.

It is actually the right of petition enumerated in the first amendment which gives AA the right to sue.
That would be pretty interesting. I wonder if there would be a way to smoothly integrate that with OpenAI's API.
Interesting that AA frames it as TPG's app stealing confidential customer data, while it is the customer who set up the app and willingly provided their credentials in the first place.

Will AA be able to find a single customer who has a problem with what TPG does? What is their case then exactly? Would they similarly sue the app if customers were copy pasting data into it, rather than accessing it programmatically?

FYI the title is editorialized. This suit has nothing to do with screen scraping, but just data access in general. Services like these nowadays almost always use private APIs (built for mobile clients and SPAs) rather than parse HTML.

I think that finding a cancerous liver cell in your neck means metastasis is happening, and the slow process is assumed to be complete. Unless the immune system is attacking these cells and their numbers are controlled, this would be stage 4 (while I am not a physician, let alone an oncologist).

I think that the best weapon that the general public has against cancer is autophagy, triggered by keeping blood glucose very low at least some of the time. Metabolic changes that can awaken apoptosis might kill many of these mutation carriers.

It's a tongue in cheek article in the NY Times. NY has a lot of finance folks. To a lot of finance folks, libor has been a meaningful number for a long time and a million contracts are based on it.

As for "treating it as a human", the financial industry has long used the term "mr market". Ie it's sort of an inside joke.

To the target audience it is not an awful title, nor an awful article.

As for the semantics of numbers v rates - the rate is specified in numbers. And LIBOR v Libor - the number was used so extensively for so long many people didn't even know what the acronym meant. It's like correcting someone for calling a tissue a kleenex.
This. Most research I see on factors related to activities vs death rate seem to have a pretty big duh! factor--are they healthy enough to be able to do the activity and consider it worth the effort it will take to do. There's no way they can possibly control for comorbidities because not everything is in the medical records, nor do medical records have all the details of severity or how it limits someone.

Even for things where ability doesn't really enter into it there's also the factor of the level of effort one spends on self-care. If I'm near death am I going to bother with the dentist unless something hurts?
And where did TPG enter into a commercial relationship or affirmatively agree to these terms?
Steam hardware survey from December 2021 shows 81.74% Windows 10 64 bit, 10.15% Windows 11 64 bit. I would guess that Windows 11 is overrepresented among Steam users compared to Windows users in general, but that's just a guess.

I should think that the number of people who want to completely do away with the police is vanishingly small. Actually, it's probably about 3 people.

It seems like the right in the USA are being deliberately pedantic about the phrase "defund the police", to make it sound like those on the left are crazy.
Good take. I’m disappointed to see so many comments that basically boil down to “fuck the police”. There’s a much more interesting story here.
We have a deadlock between states underfunding their police departments, speed limits that were lowered during a gas crisis that never came back up which makes a criminal of anyone that simply keeps up with traffic, and police departments that need some sort of revenue. You can’t put all the blame on the police.

Something does need to be done about civil forfeiture and police departments that rely on traffic citations from people out of town, but I’m not sure that the problem can be solved by hoping that they’ll come to their senses. The incentives that have produced this behavior are much more interesting and much more difficult.

>Sandra Jo Harris, a 52-year-old grandmother, claims in a lawsuit she pulled off I-22 at Cherry Avenue on Jan. 8, 2020, as she often did when she went to visit her daughter. It was nearing dusk, and as she drove into the neighborhood she didn’t think much about the unmarked black SUV with tinted windows on the side of the road. She turned on her lights, according to her lawsuit, because of the approaching darkness.

>But when she did, the unmarked SUV pulled into the street, crossed the center line and sped toward her car, blue lights flashing. She was not speeding, or breaking the law, she argued in the suit. She pulled to the side of the road as the SUV pulled behind her, and a wrecker simultaneously parked nearby. It frightened her, and led to more trouble.

> Officers, dressed completely in dark, unmarked uniforms approached her, and one accused her of flickering her lights to warn others of their presence, her suit alleges. Unsure what was happening, Harris dialed 911. But an officer grabbed the phone and threw it to the ground, breaking it, the lawsuit says. Police put her in a patrol car and searched her vehicle for drugs.

>Harris’ lawyers contend she was taken to the Brookside jail, strip-searched, and told she could be jailed up to two days. She had an asthma attack and a panic attack, but when she knocked on the door to alert a guard, a jailer said if she continued to knock she would be charged with attempting to escape. Eventually she was given an inhaler and treated by paramedics.

>Police charged Harris with flickering her lights – or “nuisance of casting lights from motor vehicle on real property at night,” which she argues did not happen and eventually was dropped. She was also charged with resisting arrest. A report quoted in the suit claimed she “tighten (sic) arm muscles from getting handcuff (sic).”

>In addition, the police charged her with making a false 911 call, obstructing government operations by refusing to give proper papers, and disorderly conduct for yelling for others to come out of their homes. They let her out of jail at midnight, long after her family had made bond.

Let's recap. A group of unmarked men in an unmarked vehicle pulled over a woman for using her lights at night, destroyed her property, denied her medical assistance, strip searched her, accused her of drug possession, threatened to charge her with escaping jail, charged her with resisting arrest for tightening her arms, and released her way past posting bond. AND, this is one of the luckier, wealthier victims who had legal recourses to file lawsuit.

In another instance, an officer was literally inventing law on the fly -- this is more than a speedtrap.

Global lazy evaluation by default is the exception, not the norm. Standard ML, F#, OCaml, Scala, ... I actually would have more trouble finding a classic "functional" language that is lazy like Haskell but isn't Haskell.

> Is this any easier to remember than normal JSON?

Yeah, actually it is. It's immediately intuitive to me. It makes string interpolation way easier. Quick, how do you do -d {object} and pass in environment variables with correct string escaping? Do you start with single quote or double quote? Where do I put backslashes? Bash vs zsh compatibility? Plus you have to make sure all the slashes, quotes, brackets and braces match.

Vs

--jp foo=$FOO --jp bar="baz-${BAR:-default-bar}" --jp date="\"$(date)\""

(I'm iffy on the last one, but it's WAY easier than trying to build that into an object)

As far as I can remember, the CPC472 was sold for the same price as the CPC464. It was never marketed as an actual improvement over the 464 and competition in the market was hard enough to be able to justify a higher price without a clear justification.

Then again my memory is not that good now so anyone feel free to correct me.

I would prefer to use the --json flag to provide syntactic sugar for setting the content type and accepts headers and leave the marshaling of data to a separate tool. Or if it has to be baked in, refactor `jo` into `libjo` and a CLI wrapper so that the two tools behave the same way.

I wonder if they could, in theory, sell you the car for 150% of it's final price (so that they seats are there when sold), then buy back the seats immediately for 50% of its price. The invoice would say something like: Car with passenger seats: $15,000; Passenger seat buyback: $5,000; Total after buyback: $10,000.

That way everyone gets what they want, and they've technically sold it with the seats still installed.

--jp doesn't even make sense as it's an abbreviation.. it's rather be --json-part.

The notation seems to be similar to HAML<>HTML. It's not JSON, and it doesn't make any sense other than really short ad hoc queries. It's just confusing and only solves a problem that a tiiiny amount of people have (regualar ad hoc json queries, where people are too lazy to actually write out json).

Otherwise, why not do the same for XML, css. Or heck.. why not simply support HAML as well

It's better to have such functionality extracted in some other tool and just pipe it
