HaseebR7··on Crawling Billions of Pages: Building Large Scale Crawling Cluster, part 1
That is why you have sitemaps, for new websites with no sitemaps we could start with a default frequency, say, once a day. If it changes more often than that you can increase it to multiple times a day and so on. We can also look for the type of website to determine a starting frequency — for example an e-commerce websites ought to be crawled more frequently because new products, reviews, ratings could be added every few minutes whereas a personal blog may stay the same for weeks altogether.
HaseebR7··on Emperor Norton
"n 1867, a policeman named Armand Barbier arrested Norton to commit him to involuntary treatment for a mental disorder.[3] The Emperor's arrest outraged the citizens and sparked scathing editorials in the newspapers. Police Chief Patrick Crowley ordered Norton released and issued a formal apology on behalf of the police force.[10] Crowley wrote "that he had shed no blood; robbed no one; and despoiled no country; which is more than can be said of his fellows in that line."[18] Norton magnanimously granted what he considered an Imperial Pardon to the errant policeman. All police officers of San Francisco thereafter saluted Norton as he passed in the street"
