They might be using browser fingerprinting to tie you back to your banned account. Also, if you haven't cleared all cookies and data (local storage, cache, etc.), then they might be using that. Try waiting until you get a new IP from your ISP and then use a different browser. Don't use a VPN.

Thought experiment: What if AI companies were allowed to use copyrighted material for free as long as they release their models to the public? Want to keep your model private? Pay up. Similar to the GPL.

Trump did end the de minimis rule. The executive order was made April 2nd; the loophole closes May 2nd. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/de-minimis-trade-loophole-to-end-may-2-white-house-says.html

Thinking about this from a technical standpoint, it would be interesting and useful if the platforms that host online articles provided some mechanisms to (1) explicitly recognize when an article is making predictions and (2) allow/remind the author or readers to follow-up and rate the accuracy of the predictions over time. This would allow all sorts of meta analysis on the accuracy of a particular author's predictions, on particular types of predictions, on trends in positive or negative predictions, etc.

And what if 50% of people want to read what you consider hateful drivel?

In what I'm sure is totally unrelated news, South Korea's work force is predicted to shrink by half in the next 50 years.

I suspect there is at least one engineer who voiced concerns months or years ago, was not listened to, and is now having an "I told you so" moment.

They should re-make Episodes 1-3 and do what they should have done the first time -- reveal Jar Jar as a Sith Lord at the end of the trilogy.

To be clear, Google will still be storing copies of the pages they crawl. They just won't be making those copies available to end users.

Microsoft tried to shanghai me to the "new outlook". When I realized the scope of what they were trying to do, under the guise of a simple software update, I was floored. I don't even think Google, with all of their Borg-ish tendencies, would attempt such a blatant hijacking of user data. The privacy implications are profound.

 

A Disturbance in the Force is a documentary unlike any other tailor-made for every and any Star Wars fan. Dealing with the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, in 1977, "Star Wars" became a cultural phenomenon that single-handedly revitalized a stagnant film industry, and forever changed how films were sold, made, and marketed. In 1978, filmmaker George Lucas was talked into cashing in on the Star Wars craze by producing a holiday variety TV special. What could possibly go wrong? ANSWER: Everything…

A Disturbance in the Force stars Seth Green, Weird Al Yankovic, Paul Scheer, Taran Killam, Patton Oswalt, Donny Osmond, Gilbert Gottfried, Bonnie Burton, Bruce Vilanch, and Steve Binder. The documentary is directed by Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak with Kyle Newman serving as producers alongside Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak as producers as well. Adam F. Goldberg is the executive producer of A Disturbance in the Force.

A Disturbance in the Force is releasing on December 5 for Apple TV, Amazon, Google Play, and Vudu with select screenings across the US, UK, and Australia ahead of its digital and home entertainment launch.
