4·2 days agoAs a Keynesian, I’m in favour of gas pump attendants, while gas stations exist.
As an environmentalist, I’m in favour of phasing out fossil fuel.
As a human, I’m opposed to companies that engage in union-busting, labour casualisation, and surge pricing. AFAICT, all the robotaxi companies engage in those practices.
So-called “ride-share” companies scam people on a bigger scale than individual cabbies ever could. Uber had a whole team devoted to avoiding legal scrutiny.
Robotaxi companies will most likely be just as shady, since they’re backed by the same investors.
As for NJ gas, that’s a false equivalence. A better analogy would be that NJ gas stations are like having a chauffeur, everywhere else is like doing your own driving.
What a pointless reply.
I debunked your concerns. Hopefully, that reassures you schools can function just as well, if not better, without smartphones or even cell phones.
gonna be a shitshow
Pure doomerism.
The schools where I grew up had one landline for over a thousand kids. The sole school secretary answered it as well as handling other duties. It had a call-waiting system. If there was an issue that might prompt lots of parents to call in, they’d just update the OGM: “If you’re calling about the such-and-such, here’s the latest information. Blah blah. Otherwise, please hold to speak to someone.” It was always fine.
As for checking-in to class, no need to use smartphones: teachers can take the register (roll-call) at the start of each class.
Landlines worked fine for a century or so. Any specific reason you think they wouldn’t work today?
Thanks, I’ll try that.
The issue has happening on an increasing number of websites, though: Ecosia, ScienceDirect, TrainSplit (which thankfully has a fallback to hCaptcha), Indeed, and more.
Thanks. What’s your source for that list? I think you’re right that those measurements are factors in the final “bot score”, but I expect there are many other measurements also factored in.
If you look at my OP, though, you’ll see my browser passed the checks but was still blocked, which Cloudflare said shouldn’t happen.
It pops up on which page?
I can’t see it on either of the pages mentioned in my OP:
I’m getting this issue in Chromium.
Like you, I’ve encountered it especially often in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for confirming it’s not just me!
Do you have a link to that feedback form, by any chance?
I eventually managed to find contact details for the webmaster for the site on which I most recently encountered this. Hopefully they’ll fix it in their Cloudflare configuration.
Failing that, I’ll try User-Agent spoofing. Failing that, another ISP, or VPN.
Cloudflare is already wrongly flagging this Linux box as a bot when it connects from an ordinary domestic ISP.
Surely it would be more likely to flag it if it was connecting from a VPN exit node.
No VPN present in this particular case.
Your mum is a rounding error.

I feel the same way, but can you explain how a VPN would help achieve that in the face of Google’s proposed developer verification scheme?
How would that help you?
The article says, “unverified apps will only be easily installable in the sanctioned countries where verification doesn’t exist.”
So even if you used a VPN to trick Google into thinking you live in a sanctioned country, you wouldn’t be able to distribute apps to those countries without breaking sanctions.
