cause Switzerland have more population density and surprise, and smaller territory. Basically, lower infrastructure cost to deploy higher bandwidth backbone.

and the point of entire post was about any SSO is bad. At that point any password manager (including on-premise bitwarden, cause that is still single credential for everything) is bad, you should memorize randomly generated 64 digit password and never forget it.

"Minecraft: Java Edition" has been obfuscated since the release. < Classic Microsoft move.

No, It was obfuscated since around 1.8 when you (Microsoft) buy up Mojang Studios. before that? meh, It wasn't. That's the main reason why JE has broader mod ecosystem from the start., result being 1.7.2 being the one of the most active modded versions since most of them can't get passed to around 1.8.

The motive behind this is probably due to them finding out people can not get their mods/server software updated in-time (due to extra work required) and this leading people being really reluctant to update their versions.

Anti-american party doing casual "america bad" speeches huh. Btw, its their fault for not filing proper VISAs. I don't get why there is all the nation-wide fiasco about LG Energy Solution incorrectly filing VISAs and asking government for help for their screw ups.

*Note for anyone on Hackernews: hani is well-known as left-wing news outlet in Korea. Think about CNN, and take with grain of salt.

Congratulations, You just reinvented age/identity verification in South Korea!

Now you are one step closer for creating government-id based tracking landscape just like in S.Korea

Well, some bots even spoof User-Agents, requesting tons of requests without proper rate-limiting (looking at you, ByteSpider)

No fair plays done by people, even before the LLMs, so we get the PoW challenge on everywhere.

And what is that conclusion? since Adblockers are used by anywhere, it is OK to corporates not to license them directly and just yank them and put it into curation service? especially without ads? that's a licensing issue. the author allowed you to view the article if you provide them monetary support (i.e. ads), they didn't allow you to reproduce and republish the work by default.

also calling browser itself as reproducing? Yes, the data might be copied in memory (but I wouldn't call it as reproducing material, more like transfer from the server to another), but redistribution is the main point here.

It's like saying well, "the part of the variable is replicated to register from the L2 cache, so whole file on DRAM can be authorized to reproduce", Your point of calling "it's reproducing and should not be reproduced in first place" can't be prevented unless you bring non-turing computers that doesn't use active memory.

tl;dr: If you are not directly affecting the "sales" of the product, you are good to go. But It seems perplexity did, and (as they might call it) directly trying to compete as a news source

Personally, About their news service, Their news summarization is kinda misleading with AI hallucination in some places.
