I don't know it and I'll allow you to mention it.

What would the winrate of a bot doing these calculations be compared to one that doesn't?

I would go further: Anyone who has published a "scientific paper" in the last decade or so either "distrusts science" or is more likely than not a mid-wit at best.

Your posting doesn't give me the impression that you're very familiar with "science".

Actually most of Europe is spending it on subsidies for retirees and other people that prefer not to earn (or at least declare) any income.

Aren't there companies that provide the "caching server for free" as a service?

If I understand the author right, the big companies are allowed to set up caching servers at ISPs.

Isn't this basically a CDN? If you spin up your own screaming start-up you would first go with akamai or whatever and if you reach sufficient scale you set up your own agreements with ISPs.

Is the blog basically arguing for making it illegal to cut out the middle man here?

Being the IT guy for the elderly people in my family, these days 90% of the issues they are having is with the scummy shit that Microsoft is pulling constantly.

E.g. my mother even has Office 365 and still constantly gets offers to upgrade to Office 365 shoved in her face. With the pathetic shit that MS is pulling these days I wouldn't put it beyond them to somehow be able to sign up & pay twice for Office.

Can the people working at Microsoft chime in whether they feel any shame? I'm sure it's great for their metrics but it's shows 0% respect for users and also themselves. Some journalist should ask Satya how he feels about being the CEO of the largest panhandler organization in the history of mankind.

While it might cause other issues, I think the root is somewhere else and harder to solve (even if the solution is obvious).

Also pretty bad. Might get somewhere in a few years but currently this is only noise.

I don't see how any of these cases prove your point. None of these offenders seem to fit a profile of someone that is a threat to public safety.

I think the point of the lyrics is to have "zendesk", "alternative" and "open source" on the same page for SEO reasons.
