It's in response to the trolling,racist, parent comment. That is why his race is mentioned. It to s not obvious the comment has a parent since the author removed the re and changed the title. Click parent on that post and see for yourself the anus of society.

Robots.txt is about as secure as leaving a cash drawer with the key in it and a post-it that states "please leave cash inside".

Well let's see. Pork and graft in government (primarily military) spending... wastes billions, a few get rich, stuf is built to kill people. We all pay, and it is the status quo.

Fraud and abuse in social programs.. a fairly low percentage of the total spent, millions of people get a little help or hand up, and we arent using the money to kill people.

Your Kompressor example is an anecdote. Waste in spending is the norm. I am not saying that either end of the spectrum could not be administered better - they certainly could - however, a few fraudsters (or a few thousand) getting an extra 200 a month is much less than one pork barrel project that costs .5B when it is known to be unlikely at best. And it is less still than the corporations who socialize losses by not offering fulltime or decent wage jobs, placing the profits in their pockets and the burden on the taxpayer.

Lease or build a stingray and connect to it. It should have deep packet inspection capabilities and catch things before being stripped on Verizon's network.

We are not in a golden age, but a dilithuim age. It is not sluggish and gilded, but moving a warp speed! Where is it moving.. well, sensors are down right now.

On occasion. Typically what it accomplishes as a switch in position of the upper and middle classes, on the backs of the lowest classes, many of whom may get a slight nudge upward in power/money/class to blind them to the truth.

It is because space is BIG. Look at our galaxy, our closest neighbor is what 4.6 lightyears away. Even if you double the amount of stars in the same space, they will interact gravitationally sure, but colliding is like dumping 1000 toothpicks in random places in the oceans and having them collide.

I am simply stating that AZ already makes requirements of sellers. It is cheaper for them to require standard prep and packaging than to create a robot that can handle all situations. Given the amount of product they move, it is not a far stretch to imagine them starting to require it and sellers capitulating.

I have a side business as an Amazon FBA seller. One thing that is often required is item preparation before sending it to an AZ warehouse. This can be bagging, bubble wrapping, etc depending on the item. Amazon also already has frustration free packaging for many items. instead of the impossible clam shell its a simple cardboard sleeve for many items.

Looking at this, I see it as possible in the future for amazon to require manufacturers and sellers to package items in standard size and shape boxes to make it easy for the bots.

What utter nonsense. Yes there is tons of shit in the play store. But I know that Word from microsoft is likely to be malware free if not usable. JoBobs Office clone, not so much. This is the same as if I searched on my PC or walked into brick and mortar.

I will use my experience to tell me what is good or bad. JoBob's office may be malware. However, it may be the best thing since sliced bread, but by increasing barriers to entry, I may never know. Give me the choice please.

If you want someone to spoonfeed you what they think is good for you, that is certainly something you can do. But it is not for me.

NASA has done great things on a limited budget. When you speak of cancelling pie in the sky projects, that is not NASAs doing, that is some administration, or congresscriters pushing for a project, funding it to pass pork around to their corporate constituents or bring 'jobs' to their state, then them or another group cancelling it later because OMG costs so much! When it is a fraction of the defense budget,
