Yeah. Further evidence of that was Crooks would’ve been a school shooter but decided to do something better with his life.

About as politically coherent as Luigi.

The drama is still on going if want to watch it go down.

You’ve confused me for someone having any interest in this.

No.

That really doesn’t narrow it down.

Its a name of a streamer you’re better off not knowing about.

Not much for open source solutions. A simple captcha however would cost scrapers more to crack than Anubis.

But when it comes to “real” bot management solutions: The least invasive solutions will try to match User-Agent and other headers against the TLS fingerprint and block if they don’t match. More invasive solutions will fingerprint your browser and even your GPU, then either block you or issue you a tracking cookie which is often pinned to your IP and user-agent. Both of those solutions require a large base of data to know what real and fake traffic actually looks like. Only large hosting providers like CloudFlare and Akamai have that data and can provide those sorts of solutions.

Costs of solving PoW for Anubis is absolutely not a factor in any AI companies budget. Just the costs of answering one question is millions of times more expensive than running sha256sum for Anubis.

Just in case you’re being glib and mean the businesses will go under regardless of Anubis: most of these are coming from China. China absolutely will keep running these companies at a loss for the sake of strategic development.

Places like cloudflare and akamai are already using machine learning algorithms to detect bot traffic at a network level. You need to use similar machine learning to evade them. And since most of these scrapers are for AI companies I’d expect a lot of the scrapers to be LLM generated.

Here’s one example of a proxy provider offering to pay developers to inject their proxies into their apps. (“100% ethical proxies” because they signed a ToS). Another is BrightData proxies traffic through users of their free HolaVPN.

IOT and smart TVs are also obvious suspects.

Or your TV or IOT devices. Residential proxies are extremely shady businesses.

The problem is primarily the resource drain on the server and tarpitting tactics usually increase that resource burden by maintaining the open connections.

This is what I’ve kept saying about POW being a shit bot management tactic. Its a flat tax across all users, real or fake. The fake users are making money to access your site and will just eat the added expense. You can raise the tax to cost more than what your data is worth to them, but that also affects your real users. Nothing about Anubis even attempts to differentiate between bots and real users.

If the bots take the time, they can set up a pipeline to solve Anubis tokens outside of the browser more efficiently than real users.

Because they want more jurisdiction and got it.

He’s the only candidate that can properly facilitate the NYC elite’s corruption. Eric Adams proved himself too self-interested and vastly incompetent in facilitating corruption. Mamdani is seen as ideologically hostile to the process (also Sliwa).

Mr Beast has an autistic level obessesion with gaming the YouTube algorithm. Calibrating exactly how much to airbrush his grimace in the thumbnail truely brings him joy.

For the record: numerous women have spoke out against Trump for sexual misconduct while underaged. All the named ones are from Miss America or Miss Universe competitions. A couple of Epstein’s victims have filed charges against Trump too but those remain anonymous.

You’re either citing some failed new deal policy or various libertarian myths that the government still pays farmers to destroy their crops.

When there is such a supply is too high and the demand is too low, farmers will destroy their own crops instead of taking them to market. This is because the price of the crop is lower than the price of actually taking it to market. This is bad for two reasons:

1 There could still be a real “demand” for the product just not an “economic” demand. IE people don’t have the money to pay for the crop such as in the Great Depression or the COVID pandemic.

2 Food is the primary good you want as abundant as possible in any economy at the lowest prices. Other such goods are steel, energy, railway transport, ie goods that other markets depend on. That runs contrary to the interests of the producers of those goods. They want to hit the sweet spot where profit is highest. The two main solutions for this are subsidies or nationalization. For example, China has nationalized steel production and rail transport which they intentionally operate at a loss for the benefit of the rest of the economy.

They currently do need subsidies to be profitable. Farmers destroying their own crops to raise prices is a well documented historical fact and it still happens today particularly when it comes to livestock. This is not my abstract conjecture.

Many of food staples cannot be produced at a profit without subsidies, corn in particular. Since all of our farms are for profit farmers will destroy their crops Grapes Of Wrath style to drive up prices.
