The vast majority of bots are still failing the header test - we organically arrived at the except same filtering in 2025. The bots followed the exact same progression too. One ip, lie about the user agent, one ASN, multiple ASNs, then lie about everything and use residential IPs, but still botch the headers
I don't think #notAllTeslaOwners is going to convince people not to have these visceral emotional reactions. I'm not entirely sure what people expect when the worlds richest man makes a point of trying to make millions of people unhappy, trolling or otherwise. This is the natural outcome.
Hm. I thoroughly disliked it - 100 layers of abstraction, glue and duct tape in the cloud to construct a rube Goldberg machine that doesn't work. It felt like everything wrong with modern tech.
I think you may have missed the joke - they were implying Github was using Copilot internally, causing the outages, due to poor output. Not that Copilot itself was unavailable (although that may be true, also)
While I agree with this as a general rule, it ignores an entire class of problem. I work in a data preservation space - if we let people delete things every time they wanted to, it'd be a disaster. Instead we 'tombstone' it (hide from everyone but admin), then let someone with some space from the process confirm it actually should be deleted. We've averted dozens of disasters this way.
I'd argue the user must feel in control, as you say, but not necessarily _be_ in control.
At least in our experience, it's graduated based on age and ability. Soft fruits and vegetables with a glorified shape cutter. Firmer things with a plastic or ceramic knife. Harder things with metal.
Not dissimilar to what you'd do at home, except supervised closely with peers and integrated into the classroom.
Edit: I should mention that gross and fine motor control is a really big focal point in general. Like how writing things down has been shown to improve memory, other forms of tactile interaction increase engagement and learning.
The missing part to the explanation is that Montessori teachers expend a significant amount of effort curating the physical space for learning. The classroom and the materials (with a strong focus on physical objects) constantly allow for the engagement in learning activities. This requires a lot of planning and maintenance. They're also not unattended - the scope is just longer durations. An hour, and afternoon, instead of 20 minutes for a worksheet.
Imagine putting a scientist in an excellent lab, with all the machines their domain required, fully stocked with reagents etc. Then in the morning, asking if three different tasks, which they'd like to do today. At the end of the day, asking what still needed to completed, and adding it to the three tasks for tomorrow. This is obviously a massive simplification, but hopefully it conveys the idea.
I believe you when you say your internet ceased working. Everything else seems to be conspiratorial reasoning without any clear evidence. No one likes Comcast, so people aren't covering for them. It's easy to make a configuration mistake - this just doesn't pass the smell test.
Oh it's definitely a mess, and I don't absolve Microsoft of responsibility at all. Money, tax breaks, whatever their reasoning is, donating to these PACs looks awful. However I believe we should have a bright line between responsible journalism and opinion pieces that disguise themselves as objective news.
That's an editorialized title. Microsoft donates to Republican PACs. Some Republicans are anti-abortion. That doesn't _make_ the donations anti-abortion. The article specifically asks Microsoft and the parties it donates to for more information and clarity so as to distance themselves from the issue, or clarify their position.
The title skips all of that for zero nuance and an outright accusation.
edit: Putting in the title as it stands of this comment before it gets ninja edited "Microsoft’s $3M anti-abortion donations under fire from activists, shareholders"
My job is building/maintaining a digital repository for university materials, a significant portion of which is thesis and dissertations.
It replaced a closed source vendor product. It's been very successful - however, there's a pretty consistent minority who are very vocal and unhappy about having their materials freely available. Embargo negotiation and publishing policy is a regular argument.
