no, ian

siri is a passthrough. siri does not store the data. when you ask siri a question it queries WA and then passes the data back to you. it does not store the data and use it later or anything else that would violate that (incredibly simple) EULA

Yeah... well if I had real backing do you think I would care if it was running through super fast servers as a passthrough?

How are people supposed to check things against the stuff submitted. Those guys at Wolfram are a bunch of mean people for not responding to my emails for better collaboration.

About that Academia question... dude I am in the middle of Academia. What do you want from me.

Honestly Wolfram knows about Statpedia, if they weren't fine with it, then they would do something.

They are probably just chillin waiting for statpedia to become super successful so that they can try and sue statpedia if they dare.

I will not settle. I will take them all the way in court and force them to loose millions in fees in vain.

okay... so what does google say about these click bots against the Federal Reserve Board?

Why Google and Publishers Care about Invalid Traffic
By maintaining our advertisers' trust and providing a level playing field for all participants in the auction, we make it easier for advertisers to accurately plan their spending and calculate bids which make economic sense for their business.

So.... how does "a level playing field" apply for the Federal Reserve Board printing press?

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

my adviser at ucla came up with some of the algorithms used in adwords

he tried explaining how adwords worked once. after about 30 minutes i completely lost track

so anyway, my point is ian probably doesn't understand how adwords works

So about that Python program I wrote.

What happens if that just spreads to the world like wildfire?
i had a look at your code and i didn't actually run it nor do i know much about python but i found a few problems with it
  • it jumps immediately to killing the browser processes after creating them so i doubt even any of them would have time to retrieve the URL
  • also the thing just kills chrome processes which wouldn't work if the user has a different browser set as their default
  • the thing that kills the chrome processes is in the infinite loop but the thing that spawns them isn't, so after the first 40 windows are created it won't create any more but will keep trying to kill them which would suck if the user leaves it open and then tries to use chrome to :justpost:
  • really though instead of using webbrowser.open_new you should use urllib.urlopen or whatever the gently caress it is so you can do things more efficiently than screwing about with loading web browsers.

ultimately though you're better off just hiring a russian buttnet to do it for you, if you can't afford that though try a kickstarter

or i guess setting up malicious javascript code on statpedia to do it once the site takes off and you have literal billions of users daily

hope this helps :)
