> Cloudflare does not do this - I've made that point several times. The website operator either has the security setting cranked to a paranoid level

This is a bit of intent laundering. By Cloudflare providing ridiculous options, some people are going to take it because more "security" must be better.

> Normally Cloudflare will only challenge after unusual behavior has been detected, such as ...

or people using more secure browsers like Firefox with resistFingerprinting = 1. I suspect this is a significant blind spot for site operators. Have you personally tried your own site with RFP=1, TOR browser bundle, VPN from a datacenter IP, etc?

> generic captchas on forms ... exists as anti-bot measures, naturally, but also as anti-human measures. We simply do not want a pissed customer to send us 900 contact-us form requests one drunken evening

My whole point is it's a bit disingenuous to throw out large quantities of things as the argument, when the hassles are often thrown up on the very first request. I'm not complaining about the sites that throw up CAPTCHAs after the third failed login, but rather the ones that do it on the first attempt!

And sure, I don't have a good map of which types of hassles are specifically Cloudflare versus others of their ilk. And I certainly don't know how often Cloudflare doesn't cause problems, as it doesn't stand out. I just know there is too much indefensible surveillance-based user-hassling in general and OP's anecdote is right in line with my standard browsing experience on many sites these days.

I also had a swollen battery in a 2013 Macbook Pro that was eligible for a free replacement in 2018 or 2019 (I forget exactly when, but it was before the 2019 16" Macbooks came out).

It was covered outside the normal warranty because of the swelling issue. Mine swelled to the point where the trackpad was slightly unreliable.
In those cases you can identify an responsible purpose and then GDPR complaints are quite effective over here in getting one from distribution lists.

> Many European butters are also cultured (meaning they’re made with added live cultures, resulting in a lactic flavor), which can further enhance the tanginess.

I'm surprised culturing is reduced to a single throwaway line, since it makes a huge difference in flavor: some of the heavily cultured butter brands out there are closer to cheese. If you're ever in Australia, try Pepe Saya on fresh sourdough!
I don't think anyone should care what they call "fascist". What I call fascist I call that due to my history education on the topic, which seems to coincide with the widely accepted definition from political science. This does not hold true for the things you describe.

Funnily enough, it's also widely accepted that fascist movements work hard to blur the meaning of words they don't like to be called.

What's up in the Python community? – April 2023
I grew up in a trailer in a poor town. I’m a high school dropout, am in my mid thirties and became a software engineering team lead last year. I feel lucky that I make a great income that I can support my family, and nobody I work with cares about my education. They care that I know the field and have insights into how to solve the problems we encounter.

I’m doing better than almost every person I went to high school with, and my friends with advanced degrees (like philosophy) have either become software engineers or are saddled with more debt than they’ll ever be able to repay. I don’t see how that’s better?

I feel like my choice was the right one. Maybe it’s survivorship bias, but school was not for me and I’m glad I get to do work I’m proud of, and feel that going to college is a mistake for a lot of people.

Google drives traffic to your website, and generates revenue. It also respects IP and gives credit. Ai crawlers don't. Just because content is out in the open it doesn't mean there's no license to follow when using it. If they gave credit, respected IP and drove traffic then sure.
There's a huge confounder missing in your analysis which is that they're also typically quite old by the time they retire. People don't change their habits easily at that age.

You can be judged for your entire IP range if you use the wrong VPS. DigitalOcean is one such place. They put all their domains on spamhaus by default, which you can get removed, but it seems MicroSoft and some others still don't like you just for being from DigitalOcean. I never sent any spam from my IP that I had for a decade but ran into this when I tried delivering to MS emails even after getting removed from spamhaus. Setting up a gmail relay that retained my from: address did the trick though.
Hey, author of that article. It has improved immensely since I wrote that article, and I'm actually planning on updating it.

The short of it is, that you can enable VirtIO file sharing and Rosetta compilation of Docker images in Docker Desktop on Mac now to get massive, massive speed boosts, and it's just clicking some settings in the app. I have compared with some folks at work who have a top-of-the-line Linux laptop, and our speeds inside Docker containers are roughly equivalent with these features enabled.

Also, I'm planning on trying out https://orbstack.dev/ soon, which is basically an alternative to Docker Desktop with all these optimizations enabled by default and a smaller footprint, so theoretically a lot simpler, still, and plenty fast.

Humans are also machines. Some might give us special properties such as souls, depending on your religious beliefs, but there is no science backing that up. All living creates are incredibly complicated and convoluted biochemical machines, shaped by evolution.
The reason for anything large usually has a lot of contributing causes, and I don't think I have all of the answers here, but a first guess would be to think about US Cultural Dominance. If the real world was a game of Civilization, the US would be having an overwhelming cultural lead after WWII. Basically whatever the zeitgeist in the US is ends up spreading through the world for many reasons. If it dominated American culture 50 years ago that going to college was mandatory, it seems likely that this attitude would have spread to a lot of other countries too. Is that the right explanation? Probably not entirely, but I think that attitudes and ideas that dominate the US end up spreading a lot because of Hollywood and other cultural reasons.

Dumping Flash from a WAG45G (2017)
"Until the advent of automated ticket machines, many garages were controlled by the mafia. Grabar takes us on a tour of parking’s underbelly, including the Philadelphia airport where attendants collected between $3 million and $7 million in cash a year in the 1990s by underreporting long-stay parking. Owning parking was a good way to launder money and cheaply get a piece of downtown real estate to develop later. Parking was a tough business, and it has been routinely made macho in popular culture. Garages are unloved parts of the urban landscape, and they produce an unsettling feeling when inside. Deep Throat set up his meeting with Bob Woodward in one, and Lee Harvey Oswald was murdered in the subterranean garage of the Dallas Police Headquarters. Yet, despite the suspicion that garages are where bad things happen, most cities want to build more of them rather than phase them out."

Is this a joke? Parking garages are bad because the mafia owned some, Bob Woodward interviewed a source in one and Lee Harvey Oswald was shot in another?

Like, the mafia built a lot of children's playgrounds and playgrounds have been the site of many horrifying crimes. So what?

It might be true that we should reduce parking space but this argument structure is insulting and contemptible.
... I don't think people are using cloudflare to protect something willy nilly.

My general experience is, if you host a popular site, it will be DDOS'd.

If you host a site in a 'competitive' space, you will get DDOS'd.

I've seen it all personally, forums, image upload sites, NFT galleries, and SAAS health tech even, people will spend a couple hundred dollars to make you miserable.

If you don't have protection, they can literally see how you are falling and it only encourages further spend.

Curious how much people's bills are inflated by ai crawlers constantly sucking their data and how much in revenue is lost since traffic is not brought to their websites. And since there's no way to stop this theft, since most of them don't honor robots.txt, people are forced to remove content. Perhaps those charged for bandwidth are losing some dime right now.
Not just. But the ability to run custom code. Such as an Android phone in the future, which is running some rust-hardened kernel and has a locked down bootloader.

All of this will become e-waste without the ability to run unsigned code. And not only, by allowing custom code, which some do not allow, the usefulness or even purpose of the device can be extended or altered.

I dont' want to throw away a perfectly usable device just because the company made it obsolete.

I had repeatedly heard that preparing your own butter is a waste of time because it wouldn't taste much different than store-bought varieties, but I suspect this doesn't apply to the cultured variant. It's possible to make cultured butter and buttermilk using kefir. I intend to try this and then... make croissants or something. Considering the price of milk/cream vs a stick of grass-fed cultured "European-style" butter, worth a try.
I have the same issue with another brand (Topstar Open Point SY Deluxe), but it usually only happens when I wear some sandals with a specific sole.

I have a power outlet glued to the desk and since it's a German version the grounding contacts are well exposed, so that, when I wear those sandals, I get up from the chair while holding the grounding contacts.

It doesn't work all the time, specially when I'm also wearing a fleece jacket, because the jacket doesn't discharge over the body. But it helps a bit.
I think I did, in this very thread.
I really hate these people. They make life worse for everyone as a way to be ideologically pure because their life is so white and middle class. “I take the bus and it’s fine” says janet who only takes it twice a week between her house and the tennis club.

I don’t want to take a bus. The screaming children, the knives, the people calling the black people racial slurs and threatening to attack them, the black people mugging the screaming children… It’s just awful. I never want to have to go back to that. Cars are so peaceful and safe. Nobody can bother me there and I can transport as many items as I want without being mugged.

These people will win and they’ll ruin everything and it just pisses me off. My family were peasants for all of history and I finally get the right to travel freely and now the other peasants are taking it off me to trap me in the village. The lords will never have to take the bus.
"In addition to the environmental concerns raised by such widespread use of natural gas, some health experts have also argued that using it in the home, especially when cooking, may pose a health risk to consumers."

I'm definitely not as much a butter aficionado as the author of the article is, just wanted to add that for me one of the best choices when it comes to European butter is the Irish Kerrygold. It's absolutely great butter, imo it's better even compared to more expensive French butters.

Related, one of my best memories related to butter, and a genuine good memory all around, was when my grandma was asking me to make butter while she was busy doing some other stuff around the house. It was easy enough and she knew that even city-boy me couldn't mess that simple thing up. It was very similar to what this guy is doing in this video [1]

> Ironically the best combo is a heat pump + natural gas furnace as a backup. Best of both worlds. But here we are making those illegal so we can pretend to save the planet.

How does this work in practice though? The natural gas distribution lines don't pay for themselves. If they're only gonna be used in emergencies then they'll be crazy expensive. You have a lot of money by not having to run natural gas through a neighborhood at all.

A more realistic backup in these types of places (which is used widely in the northeast) is heating fuel oil in a tank.

Sure, if you zoom out a level of abstraction or three. But I'm sure you know what I was getting at.
Indeed. The butter I buy here in Denmark is also 80% fat, and it tastes nothing like the blandness of US butter. Speaking personally, though, I definitely prefer Danish butter to French butter, but French butter is still really good.
I've lumped Salesforce into a certain group of platforms everybody loves to hate on, like Jira and Wordpress, but they all have a similarity.
