I always like comments like these from men who blame women for not having babies. After all, the sole job of a man is inject and go. It's the woman who has to undergo nine months of an ever increasing blob taking nutrients from them, drastically altering their hormones, making them uncomfortable 24 hours of every day, and eventually causing pain and discomfort. Assuming they don't die in the process.

Who wouldn't want to go through all that?

If the day ever comes when men can become pregnant, birth control will be freely available and there will be a whole host of government programs implemented to make their lives as comfortable and safe as possible.

The National Nuclear Security Administration just furloughed 80% of its workforce due to Republicans shutting down the government.

Who is there doing the leg work to get this approved? Depending on how long Republicans keep the government shut down, who will do the installation and configuration? They can't pay contractors to do this since there is no approved money.

The hackers I mean. Stealing has consequences.

So he has something to distract his constituents from why he fled Texas when the people were freezing to death due to Abbott's and Ercot's incompetence.

Also, because the Wikiepedia article about the battle at the Alamo explicitly states, "About one hundred Texians, wanting to defy Mexican law and maintain the institution of chattel slavery in their portion of Coahuila y Tejas by seeking secession from Mexico, . . ." To him, telling the truth is "liberal" bias.

Oh fuck off. The headline is exactly correct. Something was worth X yesterday and today it's worth Y, where Y is substantially less than X.

If you had to sell right now, you would get far less than for the product than if it you sold it yesterday. Hence, erased market cap.

It's used every single day in the financial industry and is regularly quoted in headlines when a company's stock plunges.

So long as Trump and his minions have the same done to them, deal. Fauci has given decades of his life to help people so if he has to be sacrificed to get rid of a larger evil, so be it.

Congratulations. You have reverted to the way things were written 2,400 years ago.

What a great improvement. Certainly better than writers no longer using the Oxofrd comma in sentences.

Right, but as I just said obeying a disallow directive isn't legally mandatory, so it doesn't mean much.

I come from the future to second.

If they decreased their population by tens of millions of people, I'm certain the pollution level would also decrease.

The difference depends on context, of course.

Generally speaking there are several cases to consider:

(1) Site requires agreeing on terms of service before browser can access content. In this case, scraping is a clear violation.

(2) Site terms of service forbid scraping content, but human visitors can view content and ...
(2a) site takes technical measures to exclude bots. In this case scraping is a no-no, but for a different reason: it violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
(2b) site takes no technical measures to exclude bots. In this case, the answer is unclear, and may depend on the specific jurisdiction (e.g. circuit court).

(3) Site has a robots.txt file and ...
(3a) robots.txt allows scraping. In this case, even if the terms of service forbid scraping, the permission given here helps the scraper's defense.
(3b) robots.txt forbids scraping. In this case obeying robots.txt isn't in itself legally mandatory, but it may affect your case if the site takes other anti-scraping measures.

There is no such thing. The people who claim they are free speech absolutists are the first ones to prohibit speech they don't like or which doesn't fit their narrative.

They only want free speech when it applies to them and echoes their speech.

Not *explicitly*. Offering such a database would be an invitation for people to look at the whole data broker industry. So what you, as a databroker who tracks and piegeonholes every human being who uses the Internet to a fare-the-well, do to tap into the market for lists of gullible yokels? You offer your customer, literally anyone with money, the ability to zero in on the gullible by choosing appropriate proxies.

For example, you can get a list of everyone who has searched for "purchasing real estate with no money down". Sad people who buy colloidal silver and herbal male enhancement products. People who buy terrible crypto assets like NFTs and memecoins. Nutters who spend a lot of time on conspiracy theory sites.

It's kind of like doxxing someone. You might not be able to find out directly that John Doe lives on Maple St and works for ACME services, but you can piece it together by the traces he leaves online. Only you do it to populations wholesale.

Why does that number sound familiar? Oh right, that's the amount of U.S. taxpayer money dear leader is handing over to a country whose leader ran the country into the ground and will now use that money to prop up his campaign for re-election.

In other words, in one fell swoop, the U.S. will lose another $40 billion in a matter of weeks compared to the first few years of covid.

Talk about efficiency!

wait a week or two and the details will change completely.

Trump is nothing if not mercurial. His fans will tell you he's playing 11 dimensional chess... I have my doubts, but let's say that's true. The problem is that when it comes to the economy it's not chess. It's more like basketball, and the President is the point guard calling plays, except the play being called keeps changing before the players can execute the last call. It's a tough time to be running a business, you can't plan out more than a couple of weeks.
