While I understand the need to have this type of conversation in our current society and economy, I think it is sad that we need to discuss the merits of going to college on a economical basis. Ideally, I think the goal of college is to further education in a specific field. Reducing it as a opportunity for return can be counter-productive with the goals of it on the long term. Of course, this is ideally speaking, the real world doesn't function like that and there is a need for a return both on a individual and societal level.

I am sorry if this question is dumb, but how does proof of work deter bots/scrappers from accessing a website?

I imagine it costs more resource to access the protected website but would this stop the bots? Wouldn't they be able to pass the challenge and scrap the data after? Or normal scrapbots usually timeout after a small amount of time/ resources is used?

As a long term user of Mullvad, I appreciate when new companies try to innovate on existing ones while acknowledging their value. While I have no interest in changing VPNs right now, I will keep an eye on Obscura. Hope you the best

I am from Brazil and I find this funny because in my circle of friends/co-wroekers we mostly use "coding" when speaking English, or "codar" (code as a Portuguese verb) with other Brazilians. I am not sure why, but I think it is because "program" has a strong association with prostitution in Brazilian Portuguese.
