Tracked? Mossad isn't interesting in tracking, they're interested in explosions.

Definitely! Similar vibes to (but pre-dating) Trader Joe's "Fearless Flyer", right down to the cheap paper and retro graphics.

Visiting their original storefront in Chicago was one of my favorite excursions when I was young and in need of science fair inspiration or just "stuff" for one of my personal projects.

Pretty much all the B&M and online surplus electronics stores I used to buy from have faded away or moved to a purely eBay existence.

Generally those traditional crawlers are well-behaved, and will follow the instructions given in robots.txt, though not all follow suggestions like crawl-delay. And if not, they tend to originate from fixed source IP addresses which can be blocked or throttled by the site operator or their CDN.

Back in 2020 IETF released a draft document "RateLimit Header Fields for HTTP" providing rate-limit headers which well-behaved clients should respect.

To put out a hacker prize for laid off employees to target big AI companies for data center elimination.

Only somewhat correct. Unemployed because the AI companies convinced the CEOs that they can cut headcount and be fine.

And with 50% of the software engineers in 2019 now unemployed (even among senior level developers) they'll have you reviewing that code for minimum wage.

They seem to be suggesting this is because students from "higher income" families were better able to adjust their behavior to work with the system, including lower absenteeism, turning in assignments on-time, and completing extra credit assignments. Oddly I was one of the lowest income students in my high school, and yet I managed to meet these minimal standards!

Oddly enough, these same behaviors (showing up, on-time-delivery, and going above-and-beyond) are also desirable skills for nearly any employer, thus "Grading for Equity" does a disservice to students by explicitly removing them from the grading equation

Looking at Joe Feldman's defense of GfE, the one thing he seems to get right is his suggestion that a student's grade in a given course should be most influenced by whether she mastered the subject matter at the end than how muchs he struggled with it at the beginning, middle of the term

OpenSSH is the best known OpenBSD project, but they also makes pf (used in pfSense, OPNSense, etc.), OpenBGP, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenIKED, LibreSSL, etc.

For anyone interested, this is the original article by Wanniski detailing "the Two-Santa Claus Theory of the political economy":

Original article reposted below on this page and discussed on this page.

I trust Weather Underground instead- it's private citizens, not government propaganda, and it's far more accurate.

Post-COVID, I don't trust governments or corporations to do science. I saw too much statistical abuse, p-hacking, politics, and outright lying about the scientific method to trust federal funding OR corporate funding of science.

Science is best done by private citizens funding their own experiments with outside jobs, not academic peer-review cancel culture bubbles.

The median is slightly more meaningful, as you are assured there is at least one sample in your set having that exact value,
