ah yes, the police. the people with a reputation for always properly assessing every situation

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

this article is how i found out that bad bunny is not the dr phil girl

Treat OR NO Trick

anybody have any guesses about what the hidden word is?

maybe we just need to Think Differently about what it means for something to be a summary

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

yeah it’s definitely a contender for first place

interesting strategy to hire a lawyer for that instead of a psychologist

in my defense, your honor, i didn’t think anybody would actually fall for it

one of my old computer science professors said self driving cars “have been 5 years away for the past 20 years”. still rings true to this day

he’s really good at tucking his ears

oops!

windows 11 is a next generation experience. microsoft teams now has 16 times the detail

it’s hard to thoughtfully discuss thoughtless decisions

how the fuck could they have possibly done things in a way that makes explorer tabs depend on recall?

if they can’t even separate out recall from the rest of the operating system then i have absolutely no faith it will be secure.

why write better software when you can simply tell the customer to buy better hardware?

what are the differences between a rare covid test and an uncommon covid test?

i would probably word it as something like:

Robots.txt is a document that specifies which parts of a website bots are and are not allowed to visit. While it’s not a legally binding document, it has long been common practice for bots to obey the rules listed in robots.txt.

in that description, i’m trying to keep the accessible tone that they were going for in the article (so i wrote “document” instead of file format/IETF standard), while still trying to focus on the following points:

• robots.txt is fundamentally a list of rules, not a single line of code
• robots.txt can allow bots to access certain parts of a website, it doesn’t have to ban bots entirely
• it’s not legally binding, but it is still customary for bots to follow it

i did also neglect to mention that robots.txt allows you to specify different rules for different bots, but that didn’t seem particularly relevant here.

but then the market would be ever so slightly less free. the horror!
