I know. My point is that all the site should guarantee to the advertiser is transmission of the ad. What happens to it once it reaches my browser should be irrelevant.

There are sites I like and do not block ads because I want them to be around, and in the end they either need to paywall or run ads to stay in business.

But the company whose ad it is has already paid to be shown on the site, hasn't it? Why should they care whether I choose to block ads via my browser? I'm never going to click on any as anyway.

For open source, merely copying the code is not copyright infringement. That is the point of open source. However, if you violate the terms of the license, then your right to copy vanishes and THEN it's copyright infringement.

If an LLM regurgitates your code verbatim (or really close so it could reasonably be considered a derivative work) and it's uncredited, then it's copyright infringement and also plagiarism.

Still, how could the US Government stop using Windows? They'd have to switch many tens of thousands of computers to Linux? The supply-chain list cuts both ways.

What if Microsoft refused to stop using Anthropic's products? What's Hegseth going to do? Declare Microsoft a supply chain risk? Stop the US government from using Microsoft products?

FWIW, its IMDB rating is currently 7.6. A threshold that seems to work well for me is that anything under 7.0 isn't worth watching. YMMV.

You can already to that. Just select Feeds from the menu under the 3 horizontal lines.

Last paragraph:

Companies have published their online rules and data on content moderation. Those that are interested in participating in the project voluntarily hand over documents on policies, tools and product features.

Though I admit that doesn't make sense either. If they already published their stuff, why do they have to hand it over? Also, just because they have policies and procedures does't mean they either actually follow them or follow them in a timely manner.

Not everybody needs to know how to program, and those people who were being forced into taking a CS class were likely never going to be all that good at it.

Not everybody needs to know how to do either chemistry or physics either and yet we still require chemistry and physics classes.

You can't just do this with any EV. The car itself has to have the "vehicle-to-load" capability that's not yet universal on all EVs.

If a restaurant is going to spend money on tech, I'd rather it be a web site with the full menu where I can just click/tap what I want including things like check boxes for extra sauce or perhaps a catch-all text field for notes.

Whereas Google says their rankings aren't affected by payments (other than their promoted link) they are awash in advertising cash.

Maybe. Presumably, Amazon also is awash in cash, but that didn't stop them from showing ads while you pause a show on Amazon Prime. Companies just can't help themselves. They shove ads into every possible corner.

Based on what? I've been on light rail systems in Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco, and San Jose. While I've seen an occasional homeless person, none of those systems have homeless people camping on them.

I met my spouse through Craigslist. We've been together for 17 years and counting.

It doesn't interact with ordinary matter nor the strong nor weak nuclear forces either, so it's not just light. The name "dark energy" was chosen in part to parallel the already-existing term of "dark matter." In the case of the latter, it really does mean "unknown" since dark matter might not actually be any form of matter at all, just a misunderstanding of gravity. Hence the choice of "dark" for "dark matter" was unfortunate first.
