Surely (don't call me Shirley!), given AI training traffic is a widespread problem, it would be quite a selling point to offer protection, just like protection from DDOS and spam with email systems. AI traffic really can be in that category. I imagine this will come out in the next year or so.
I agree it would be great to have an opensource system and RBLs to deal with this at the server level.
In case you haven't seen it, here's a paper exploring AI fallibility. Have a look at the results at section 4.2, and the discussion at section 5. Very funny and confounding.

Looking into the detail in https://verixiv.org/aims-and-scope/, it turns out this publication service is only for Gates Foundation funded (or co-funded) research. I was hoping for a broader application for arcXiv and other preprint repositories but not the case.
Nor does the record support that, unlike Pizzo and Brienzo, Carpenter would more likely feel the presence of a hard object. Cf. Hans Christian Andersen, The Princess on the Pea . . .
Finally, princesses can be off the public purse with gainful employment. While engaged in a traffic stop, police could request a sitter princess to attend and sit on car seats to detect illicit items.
How can this be a thing? How about the 'Northwest Cheddar Advocates of America' or 'Native Cypress Asthmatics Association'. The PTO really needs reform.
We had a freak cyclone event a few years ago that took out a number of high voltage towers feeding into South Australia, then because of over zealous protections by generators, local power sources backed off the network. We had nearly three days of total power outage state-wide. Phone towers batteries died after the initial 4 hours. With NBN (and the forced conversion to SIP phones), there are no more land lines, so we lost all comms.
There is now better power regulation (the govt can force generators to power up) and backup diesel generators in communities, plus a big 150MW battery, so the above shouldn't happen again for a while, but still no requirement to adequately power the phone towers. As the article says, no one cares.
Interesting the estate hasn't gone after another reasonably successful 'holmesian' author, Laurie R. King ( https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL20985A/Laurie_R._King ). These novels take up with Holmes after he retires to beekeeping. Lots of emotion here - Holmes falls in love with his young protégé (not Watson) and eventually marries her. Not too many dogs, though. Any why wait for Netflix, both authors (the other being Nancy Springer who wrote the 'Enola' novels) published well before 2014 - before copyright ended for the majority of the books? I deduce there is a financial consideration involved.
I have to agree. The policewoman was just trying to have an influence on the kid, she put on the cuffs and that worked.
If they felt they really had to do something, the parents here should have gone after the school, not the policewoman. They were the ones that escalated the issue.
When I was ten, I once shot some chocolate drops at cars with a rubber-band slingshot (I know...). A local parole officer saw me and took me to the police station to teach me a lesson. The police didn't really know what to do with me and ended up putting me in a cell. I thought it was pretty cool, but then the parole officer said I had the mind of a criminal. My dad eventually freed me later that afternoon and got really pissed off at the parole officer. No further consequences. Just one of those life experiences, nothing to engage a lawyer about.
Whenever anyone with any government position speaks to the Dalai Lama, Chinese officials really spit the dummy - the current US admin is coming close to this. I'm surprised the US aren't saying Russia is interfering with US sovereignty.
So, just what is a non-lethal weapon? A tazer? That has been lethal. Tear gas? Itching powder? Christmas fruit cake? (no, that really is lethal), expressed mothers milk? - they don't let that on planes, so must be lethal....
So they have "considered" equipping the drones with these. Did they come to any conclusions, like, OK we'll equip the drones? Did they carry it out?
We bemoan DRM (at least I do), is not this paywall another form of DRM.
If we are speculating about possible business models, why not allow readers to read/download for free and have a payment option. This is the model indie musicians are developing, why not journalism?

County reps aren't paid to admit fault. ???
Yes they are. They are paid to serve the public, not themselves. Please don't blithely accept this dereliction of duty.
What about Australia?
I would like to support techdirt but I can't purchase stuff from your store - you don't ship here. Could you look at this???
All this fuss over Snowden reminds me of China
Whenever anyone with any government position speaks to the Dalai Lama, Chinese officials really spit the dummy - the current US admin is coming close to this. I'm surprised the US aren't saying Russia is interfering with US sovereignty.

Pathetic.
why not just remove the paywall?
We bemoan DRM (at least I do), is not this paywall another form of DRM.
