It's nothing to do with that. Reddit is blocking AI searches because it's contract with OpenAI expired last month.

Nope. They have an electric oil pump that keeps working when the engine is off. It's not a cold start, an electric motor turns the engine to top dead centre and fires the plug on a hot engine .

What the other guy said.

The counter for advertisements are based on the number of views, hence counting a video as soon as its playing as a view, they'll be able to jam in more advertising.

They only print a few dozen copies and then Google destroys the only one left.

But a court ruling said they had to destroy the books otherwise they would be liable for copyright infringement

The fact that all self drive taxis are company owned and no plate owners will touch them tells the real story.

There was about one legible link on Alta Vista for about 60 links of random garbage that would squawk and squeak and not infrequently freeze your computer.
