For Turnstile, the actual act of checking a box isn’t important, it’s the background data we’re analyzing while the box is checked that matters. We find and stop bots by running a series of in-browser tests, checking browser characteristics, native browser APIs, and asking the browser to pass lightweight tests (ex: proof-of-work tests, proof-of-space tests) to prove that it’s an actual browser.
Let’s be perfectly clear: in no case would the pharmaceutical company be taking a loss.
I’m not so sure about that.

Connecticut’s most wide-ranging gun control measure since the 2013 law enacted after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting takes effect Sunday, with proponents vowing to pursue more gun legislation despite legal challenges happening across the country....
Connecticut already requires background checks for all firearm sales and requires that all firearm sales are reported. Further, licensed dealers are required to report to the ATF sales of multiple firearms within a certain time period.
I have a very difficult time believing that despite these measures, many people are purchasing handguns for resale to prohibited persons at a rate greater than 36 per year.

The first Catholic elected as President of the United States was assassinated, and no one said shit about Biden being the second Catholic to be elected as President. There were articles about Kamala Harris being elected Vice-President though. That was noteworthy because she’s a woman and she’s a person of color. Visibility is a huge factor in these stories.

A former Chinese government official said the country’s entire population of 1.4 billion wouldn’t be enough to fill all of its empty houses, Reuters reported, citing a video from the state news agency China News Service. **China’s real-estate struggles rose to prominence in 2021, when industry giant Evergrande became the most indebted company in the world and defaulted.**At the time, there were at least 65 million vacant properties in the country, which would have been enough to house the entire population of France, Insider previously reported.
To me, this seems wasteful. I’m not very familiar with the Chinese real estate market however.
At the time, there were at least 65 million vacant properties in the country, which would have been enough to house the entire population of France, Insider previously reported.
That doesn’t actually mean there are 65 million surplus properties. A vacant house isn’t an unnecessary house.
That is a very good point. I still find it hard to believe that they are making the best use of labor and materials with situations like this:
Ordos, near the border with Mongolia, was meant to hold over 1 million people and become a cultural and economic hub. But by 2016, its population was only around 100,000, and it has been described as “the largest ghost town in the world.”
Sure. The point I was trying to make is that society might be better served by allocating resources to building hospitals or schools or something the community needs instead of housing that the community does not necessarily need because there is already a surplus of housing.
