Discord has replaced IRC in most cases.

Not necessarily. These labels refer to the manufacturing of the product only, it does not stipulate who owns the parent company that made it.

It means that 98% or more of the money that was spent making the thing (ingredients and labor) was spent in Canada.

This is still a good thing. Buying things that are "Made in Canada"(good), "Product of Canada" (better), or "100% Canadian" (best) ensures that the majority of the money comes into or stays in Canada (unless you're working with something with profit margins over 100% which is quite rare). Anything that doesnt have one of these labels right now means that the majority of the money spent making it was spent somewhere else and the product shipped here.

"Product of Canada" means that two conditions are met:

  • the last substantial transformation of the good occurred in Canada
  • all or virtually all (at least 98%) of the total direct costs of producing or manufacturing the good have been incurred in Canada.

It's the confidence.

The best way I've heard it described is like if Sherlock Holmes was written by Tom Clancy.

Reacher is not a thinking man's story and comes with the baggage that the story is delivered through the lens of a stereotypical Republican hero, but I had fun with the TV show despite all that.

I think it's been 20 years since I last thought about this.

Still good

Honestly, the character is the worst part about it, but that can be changed with an enterprise license

The Javascript requirement is not ideal, but the reality is that the vast majority of the internet already needs it, so I don't see it as that much of a hurdle. The other problem it has is that it requires a sort of herd immunity to achieve the goal. If a critical mass of websites don't use it, then the AI companies can simply just pay for the increased compute costs for the sites that do.

In a world where more than half of websites that are being scraped had some kind of protection like this, it would work much better.

That's the one

This is a good point. Honestly, I think the tac that Anubis takes is probably the best one right now.

If each request you make to a web server is computationally expensive, that makes it harder for the bots to get that info at high speed, and thus needs to spend more power to access it. If a solution like that is deployed at a wide enough scale, it becomes prohibitively expensive to do the scraping.

If it were one employee from each, it's Waffle House. No contest.

One customer changes things a lot. I think it's probably still Waffle House that takes it, but Popeyes and WalMart are in the running.

The best decision I ever made was to replace all my containers to be all the same size.

I never need to worry because every container and lid is the same. Sometimes I need to use 2 containers for one thing, but that is a small price to pay to never need to hunt for lids
