So many unsubstantiated claims, you find this pattern in someone infected with exceptionalism.

We must have very different workflows, I am curious about yours. What tools are you using and how are you guiding Qwen3-Coder? When I am using Claude Code, it often works for 10+ minutes at a time, so I am not aware of inference speed.

FWIW, I was not confused and don't believe you need to clarify.

We have to hold comedians to highest possible journalistic standard while allowing Fox News to be entertainment. This country runs on double standards.

And? He is comedian that runs a late night show.

Why do we hold women and comedians to some sort of high standard but there is a whole montage of right wing grifters actively calling for liberal lives?

And it wasn't even a joke, it was a statement about what was going on. It isn't even about what he said, or even Kimmel. Unless he wasn't slathering all over the fake mythos of white washing this Kimmels racist, bigoted hateful grift, the right was going to go after him for literally anything.

Kimmel's crime is laughing at Trump and pointing out his brain dead hypocrisy.

This is it, the whole thing. https://youtu.be/U6NJJ0FcvYY?t=252

So you are saying they don't penalize browser from not being Chrome and then link to a specific mechanism that they are allow listing Safari. That goes directly counter to what you are claiming.

I have seen it myself, from my own system. Firefox, almost impossible to use the web due to non-stop bot checks by CF. For the same session, same site(s), I give up and use Chrome, with all the same browser extensions, and I sail right in. Multiple times.

Suspicious traffic is using Firefox, because Chrome browsers are 90%+ of the traffic. And the rich mac users have a special mechanism for bypassing them as your article outlines.

Using Firefox is the internet equivalent of DWB.

How about Cloudflare stops penalizing non-chrome browsers with elevated rates of bot checks and captchas?

You have use a client side app firewall to prevent all traffic until you have acquired your session.

This is extremely difficult to do even for skilled people.

When I write functional code I start with Peano and then go from there, ommiting comments are descriptive names. It encourages thinking in myself and my coworkers.

It is a mistake to not offer a separate switch for GPS. It means you can't use a map without turning on your cellular modem.

I am specifically talking about tech, I personally knew many H1B folks that worked insane hours literally so that they were seen as ultra productive and wouldn't get cut.

> In 2021, the median wage of an H-1B worker was $108,000, compared to $45,760 for U.S. workers in general.

This compares medians across to huge populations. I have seen many H1Bs making less and working more.
