We need more residential proxies, not less.
I've had enough of companies saying "you're connecting from an AWS IP address, therefore you aren't allowed in, or must buy enterprise licensing". Reddit is an example which totally blocks all data to non-residential IP's.
I want exactly the same content visible no matter who you are or where you are connecting from, and a robust network of residential proxies is a stepping stone to achieving that.
The end game of that is no useful content being accessible without login, or needing some sort of other proof-of-legitimacy.

Where does the energy to lift the cars up in the first place come from? Another set of “freely available gravity” cars down the street?
this is an energy storage ("battery") system, not a generation system.

I don't know what toll plaza's you're going through. Here's my typical experience trying to get to a meeting in SFO:

That's the consequence of 4 freeways all (I-580, I-80, I-880, SH-24) dumping their traffic onto a bridge, and using metering lights to try and keep the bridge itself working.

Is a roll back even possible at Cloudflare's size?
With small deployments it usually isn't too difficult to re-deploy a previous commit. But once you get big enough you've got enough developers that half a dozen PRs will have been merged since the start of the incident and now. How viable is it to stop the world, undo everything, and start from scratch any time a deployment causes the tiniest issues?
Realistically the best you're going to get is merging a revert of the problematic changeset - but with the intervening merges that's still going to bring the system in a novel state. You're rolling forwards, not backwards.
I'd presume they have the ability to deploy a previous artifact vs only tip-of-master.

If you are serving web pages, you are soliciting GET requests, kind of like ordering a package is soliciting a delivery.
"Taking" versus "giving" is neither here nor there for this discussion. The question is are you expressing a preference on etiquette versus a hard rule that must be followed. I personally believe robots.txt is the former, and I say that as someone who serves more pages than they scrape
Having a front door physically allows anyone on the street to come to knock on it. Having a "no soliciting" sign is an instruction clarifying that not everybody is welcome. Having a web site should operate in a similar fashion. The robots.txt is the equivalent of such a sign.
Right, but now you are not talking about an LLM generating from it's training data - you are talking about an agent that is doing web search, and hopefully not messing it up when it summarizes it.
Yes, because most of the things that people talk about (ChatGPT, Google SERP AI summaries, etc.) currently use tools in their answers. We're a couple years past the "it just generates output from sampling given a prompt and training" era.
