engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-07 17:00:22

To tackle what's been called the plastic "epidemic," the UN spun up a committee in 2022 tasked with brokering a legally binding global agreement. This ambitious treaty between UN member states was to address the full life cycle of plastics, from production to disposal: In short, define what counts as plastic pollution and curb the sorts of unchecked production that inevitably leads to it. But across five sessions since, countries have failed to reach a consensus on the text. What was meant to b

Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives

5 min read We are observing stealth crawling behavior from Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine. Although Perplexity initially crawls from their declared user agent, when they are presented with a network block, they appear to obscure their crawling identity in an attempt to circumvent the website’s preferences. We see continued evidence that Perplexity is repeatedly modifying their user agent and changing their source ASNs to hide their crawling activity, as well as ignoring — or sometimes

How Python grew from a language to a community

When it first launched in 1991, Python “wasn’t lucrative,” remembers long-time Python community organizer Paul Everitt (now a Python and web developer advocate at JetBrains). “But we believed in it. The passion was there — we were doing good in the world.” Yet surprisingly, Python traveled a bumpy early road on its way to becoming the world’s #1 most popular programming language, safely ensconced in the nonprofit Python Software Foundation that would help it grow through the years.
