Maybe if they were a UK citizen living in the US, but if it was a US citizen, not a chance.

But that would actually solve the problem and not enable massive government overreach. We can't have that.
Unfortunately robots.txt only stops the well behaved scrapers. Even with disallow all, you'll still get loads of bots. Setting up the web server to block those user agents would work a bit better, but even then there's bots out there crawling using regular browser user agents.
Look at you with your sane regulations. They practically give driver's licenses away like candy here.
I've thought about it in the past... what if there was a bug in an update and under some specific conditions the car will just vere to the side and crash. There's a possibility that every self-driving Tesla travelling west into a sunset suddenly slams on the brakes causing a pile up. Who knows what kind of edge cases could exist?
Even worse, what if someone hacks the wireless update and does something like this intentionally?
I didn't think any of that was backdoors. That was the government snooping on unencrypted communications.
Worldwide SaaS is about as descriptive as Business Company
Ah interesting, so the European banks have agreements on how to settle wire transfers quickly, but going outside those SEPA agreements gets you about the same experience as US wire transfers.
That SEPA system seems kind of nice, since in the US it's been up to a bunch of private companies (like PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard) to pick up the slack and enable instant transfers. We've only recently got the Zelle system, which is free and instant, but even that's just run by some corporation that went around making agreements with banks on their own.
Unfortunately, for this sort of international transaction, the only real options are: Credit card companies (via credit or debit), SWIFT wire transfers (slow and expensive), or Crypto (volatile and maybe slow depending on which one).
I've had annoying times trying to purchase parts from a small UK company, since my only option was wire transfer with a $65 fee, or calling them long distance and giving a credit card over the phone at 1am my time)
I was confused about what it meant by "Lossless" since it's frame gen... there's no compression, or anything to lose, it's starting from nothing.
As far as I can tell it means nothing, it's just the branding for the "Lossless Scaling" tool on Steam. There's no new lossless algorithm involved here.
ACH is Automated Clearing House, which is US-specific and what's used for faster bank-to-bank transfers than wire. They still take up to a day or two to clear. I suspect what you are calling a wire transfer is not actually the same thing as a SWIFT network wire transfer, which is what's used for international transactions. German banks charge the same fees for those: https://wiretransfer.io/deutsche-bank-germany-wire-transfer/
German banks might have arrangements for doing domestic transfers more quickly, and obviously it's instant if the recipient is at the same bank, but I don't know that that's considered a wire transfer anymore. It would be a direct deposit/debit through some other bank-bank system. (In Canada this would be like Interac transfers, or Zelle in the US)
The whole baby sleeping in a box thing seems a little weird to me, but giving all new parents a starter pack of supplies sounds great. We could just distribute the supplies in a different shaped box if that was a concern we need to prevent.
But let's be real... US hospitals would try selling these care packages for a profit, when they should be free.
I'm just waiting for the response to be something along the lines of... "According to existing law (see Online Safety Act), websites are required to do age verification... blah blah blah, no changes will be made, thank you for your inquiry"
