MrZander··on Burnoutindex.org
This thing is trash. I put "never" on everything and then "a few times a year" on one and I was still "mid" risk at 0.3/6.

Putting "once a month or less" on one thing made it "high" at 0.5/6

So basically 0.0 = LOW, 0.1 - 0.3 = MID, 0.3 - 6.0 = HIGH

Basically everyone who isn't in their dream job is at high risk of burnout. Pointless quiz.

MrZander··on Congrats! Web scraping is legal! (US precedent)
Seems like a hard problem to legally solve. I can see so many valid use cases for bots to scrape pages. But in all of your examples, I'm inclined to say that it shouldn't be allowed.

Maybe it falls into a "fair use" situation? Obviously copying an entire website would not be considered fair use, but something like scraping a bunch of public profiles on Steam to get aggregate data on what games are played the most seems totally valid.

Hopefully it doesn't end up with everything gated behind a sign-in and a TOS.

Wow, that is incredible. I had no idea they were that complex, or even that big.
MrZander··on Brave Passes 10M Monthly Active Users, Sees 19% Growth Since 1.0 Launch
Same, I couldn't get used to Firefox, it just felt too slow, even the new version. Brave feels just like Chrome, but with less Google. I love it.

How well does it integrate with other financial services? I currently just use Mint because it's the only app that can consistently pull in all my accounts into one place.
