When you look at someone else's profile, Similarity shows you the questions that you both feel strongly about (answered at the edges of the range) and either agree about or disagree about. The idea is that these would be conversation starters - if you both are passionate about skiing, it should be front and center.
My guess is that the initial response by MisterTea was an attempt at language policing, and this whole thread is a waste of time.
What, you don't enjoy having your opinions dismissed because someone famous shares them?
If you can work remotely (or not at all), Spain has a lot going for it.
The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
Seems like the dog failed here.
Ignoring robots.txt is not wrong. That's my opinion, just as valid as yours.
It also happens that the legal system agrees with my opinion of the wrongness of this act.
Also, you did say this:
> where website owners can legally dictate
Which is, as I pointed out, false.
A website can block Xyz user agent, put Xyz in robots.txt, or even put "No using Xyz!" in a popup and you cannot be prosecuted for using Xyz. It might be hard for you to evade their requirements, but it's not illegal.
Whether or not it's wrong is a matter of opinion. Yours differs from mine, that's fine.
JS has a completely different threat model. And PHP has just been a basketcase from inception.
They do:
Not every optimization requires a JEP, but certainly something as big as "add or remove a JIT" would 100% require a JEP.
It's not nice. It is, however, not illegal.
And before you agitate against that, think deeply about the consequences. A world where website owners can legally dictate exactly what software you use to access their content.
