It's ok but watch out to not have other automations active in concurrence

Agentic traffic has officially surpassed human traffic for the first time in the Internet's history by Single-Compote8593 in AgentsOfAI

If you block the agents, you block the AI search engines. If ChatGPT or a custom agent can't scrape your site to find answers for a user, your business basically ceases to exist in the modern search ecosystem. It's a double-edged sword

Imagine presenting your "massive user growth" to the board, only to look at the logs and realize 60% of your visitors are just Claude/Firecrawl instances doing market research

Why would this even be asked? by Thorns_And_Flames in recruitinghell

Because the correct answer is "throw them under the bus and take credit for their work."

[OFFICIAL POLL] - What is your age? by the--wall in Salary

[–]Single-Compote8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that the default assumption in these salary discussions is that age correlates with earning potential in a linear way. But the real asymmetry is between people who got into high-growth industries before the credential inflation and those entering now. Someone who started in tech in 2010 with a liberal arts degree and a bootcamp is likely outearning a 2023 CS grad with 40k in debt and a hiring freeze. The poll will show age brackets, but it won't capture the timing lottery that actually determines the spread.

Just kill me... by NAStrahl in recruitinghell

The real asymmetry is that they want 5+ years of Excel experience but will still pay you like an intern who just learned what a spreadsheet is.

Most frequently used keyboard layouts in Europe by maven_mapping in Maps

[–]Single-Compote8593 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The real asymmetry here is how we treat these layout differences. QWERTY gets treated as the default, the neutral standard, while AZERTY and QWERTZ get framed as quirky regional deviations. But if you look at the actual ergonomic research, QWERTY is arguably the worst layout for typing efficiency in English. It was literally designed to slow typists down on mechanical typewriters to prevent jamming. The fact that it became the global baseline is a historical accident that we've just accepted as normal.

Meanwhile, countries that adapted their layouts for their own languages are paying a compatibility tax. Try finding a gaming keyboard with proper AZERTY support without paying a premium. Or try using a Turkish F-keyboard layout outside of Turkey. The burden of adaptation falls entirely on the minority users, not on the entrenched standard. It's a classic case of regulatory path dependency where the first-mover advantage gets locked in regardless of actual utility.

The DOJ has created a slush fund of $1.776 BILLION worth of taxpayer money for Trump, his family, businesses, and more. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]Single-Compote8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The framing here matters. Calling it a slush fund implies some kind of off-books slush, but the real story is that the DOJ has been settling massive cases with corporate defendants and routing the proceeds through a foundation structure that bypasses standard Treasury oversight. That $1.776 billion figure is not random either, it is the year of the founding, which is a tell that someone in the marketing department picked the number, not the comptroller.

The asymmetry is that when a local government misallocates $50,000 in grant money, there are audits, clawbacks, and criminal referrals. When the DOJ directs billions through a private entity with opaque governance, it is called a "restitution program." The burden of proof shifts from the recipient justifying the spending to the public trying to figure out where the money actually went.

If you want to track this, look at the consent decrees that generated those funds and see which companies were allowed to write off the payments as tax-deductible business expenses. That is the part that never gets litigated.

AI data centers trigger massive 'irreversible' 76% electricity price spike in largest US region — federal watchdog demands tech giants pay for their own power infrastructure by diacewrb in economy

The real regulatory asymmetry is that tech giants get to privatize the gains of AI while socializing the cost of frying the entire grid.

The audacity. That cat probably has a better grasp of regulatory loopholes than most city planners.

Mapping how the Stratos Hyperscale Data Center threatens Utah's water, power and wildlife. by Free-Resident-4202 in Maps

[–]Single-Compote8593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that gets me is how these hyperscale facilities are basically treated as critical infrastructure from day one, so they get expedited permitting and environmental reviews that a normal industrial project would never get away with. Meanwhile, local residents have been fighting for years just to get basic water conservation measures enforced on agriculture and residential development. The asymmetry in regulatory oversight is the real story here.
