By the sound of it, you have a protein allergy. That is, you are allergic to a specific, or set of specific, proteins. When the proteins are denatured, you seem to not be allergic. This can happen at high temperature, low pH, or sometimes through oxidation. There’s a substantial amount of research on this if you want to look it up. But, for it to be particularly constructive, first you would need to determine to which protein you are allergic

You’re missing half the picture here. It’s not the scraping that’s the big problem, it’s what the rest of the TOS say they can do with everything they get from scraping your site. Like use it to train their AI and provide responses to people questions. That’s part is the real legally contentious part, for a multitude of reasons. I imagine they see this as a way of getting around things like Australia’s requirement they pay a fee to news outlets if they show their content. The TOS also says they can create fake accounts on your site, for scraping. Which means if you have anything on your site, that you don’t have full legal rights to distribute and use in any fashion you like, you are at significant legal risk if you continue to use anything meta after 30 October.

The thing I always remind myself of, when I think “isn’t this obvious?”, is a conversation I had with my mum about 15 years ago. She gives me a call, and after the usual chitchat…

  Mum: “they had some computer training courses at work, the other day. We learnt great thing, dragon drop”
  Me: “that’s great, I didn’t realise you didn’t know about drag’n’drop”
  Mum: “yeah, we were talking about why it’s called dragon drop, and I thought you’d know”
  Me: “mum, are you saying ‘dragon’, as in the mythical creature?”
  Mum: “yeah, why is it called that, we’re all stumped”
  Me: “it’s not the creature, it’s the shortened version of drag… and… drop - drag’n’drop”
  Mum: “wow, that makes so much more sense. I can’t wait to tell everyone at work”

Now mum definitely isn’t a power user, but by the time of this conversation she had been using computers daily for 20 odd years, since the late 80’s.

I try to remind myself of this fun little anecdote as much as I can.

My primary issue with the TouchBar, losing the F keys was a concern but lot my primary one, was that it required me to look at it to use it. With keys you can feel them, and learn their place. But, the TouchBar had me looking at it and not the screen to do something. If it was angled so I could see it in my periphery whilst looking at the screen it would been awesome.

This seems like it’s conflating problems. It’s actually two different problems:

1. Is the PR suitable, and therefore should be approved, and

2. Is this person suitable to make that decision.

If 2 is false then the person should remove themselves from the list of reviewers. Then 1 can follow its normal process.

Yeah, I was also under the impression helium was in very short supply. The article doesn’t mention that, at all. But it does say the unit is quiet because it operates at a constant frequency, so they can use noise cancellation very effectively.

Err... yeah, because that's what USA based companies are known for - PII protection and data privacy?!?

Maybe there is some more complexity to this argument, that I'm missing. But, it's not one that has merit without justification.

I had the exact same thoughts. But, also, why is it a good thing that risk is passed down to the users of the currency?

In the regular system risk is passed upward to regular bank you deal with, then upward to the government bank. The frustrating part here is that the regular bank makes all, or very nearly all, the profit, yet passes on the risk. This gives them enormous amounts of power, through wealth, which is far from ideal. But, much, much worse is the concept of removing the regular bank, and government bank, replacing them with a random person online. And passing the risk downward to the users of the currency.

There's two images where the face is transferred to the final image. The references images with blurred faces are all being used for a different reference; the pose, or "necklace", etc. The faces are blurred in every image unless they explicitly want the face transferred to the final image, at least that's how it seems.

There is a similar option in iOS, where you give an app access to select items only.

As a less confrontational reply: from my point of view “unwanted fly tipping” is talking about rubbish. The concept of depositing unwanted, yet usable, not rubbish, things somewhere is not something that would happen (outside of the rather recent disposable culture context). As to your sentence (which is perfectly fine), the use of words avoids possibly confusing repetition. Atypical use would be preferred to “no fly tipping, take it to the tip”.

Challenge accepted - “scon” is the only way! Why? Absolutely no logical reason, but it is, how it is.
