For all intents and purposes, this isn't competitive data for them. There aren't really competitors in the space anyway, the barrier to entry is ridiculous. In fact, by law, operat…

Yes, we have. And no, they are not interested.

I run a large scraper farm against several large sites. They're not online shops, and we don't compete with them. But they do have hundreds of thousands of data points that we use …

Alternatively, in a tool that allows multiple channels, create a channel for the specific issue and invite the relevant people into it. The problem in the essay isn't chat rooms, i…

It's the gentrification cycle, and it's been going on for decades (perhaps centuries.) It's just now getting to smaller mid-sized cities in the US. - Some part of $City is a dirty,…

"Ardent detractors" aren't the people I'm talking about. I'm talking about bad faith actors who understand exactly what is harmful about their position and are choosing that positi…

This doesn't protect someone (or a whole society) from bad actors who know how to exploit the assumption of positive intent. This might work for arguing with Aunt Tillie at Thanksg…

Picking apart someone's belief through explaining their logical fallacies presupposes that they got to their belief through a logical process. "Reasoning will never make a Man corr…

I've had options at 3 companies that all went through some event. 1 - Company acquired after I left. I paid 3k for my shares when I left, made 3k net. Not bad. 2 - Company was self…

The House has shown the ability to pass it, which means that if the Dems can flip the Senate (using the GA election), then the House can pass it again next session and have it go t…

> The House represents the people. The Senate represents the state. That was the original thinking, but the 17th amendment turned the Senate into just another House of Representati…

To be fair, most minority and underserved communities back in the 80s and 90s wanted the Dems to take a tough on crime stance, which is why the Dems shifted that way. For example, …

That's not the modern Republican platform. Both major parties want stronger central government in some instances, and weaker in others. They just differ in which instances are whic…

In no way did I claim the massacre was an unfortunate oversight. In the case of the Interstate Highway System, it was legitimately the stated idea to go through Black neighborhoods…

I don't disagree with anything you said in your original comment. I was adding additional commentary that systemic racism isn't always overt acts of violent destruction. Many times…

"We need to build an interstate highway system, to modernize our logistical capacity and connect our commercial centers. But we need land in those cities, and all the prime real es…

Crazy how far into the plot they got before they were stopped. They tracked down her private homes, did surveillance and recon, acquired explosives and other equipment, and it all …

This was not a concocted plot by the FBI. These guys had a plan, did reconnaissance, acquired supplies. It's crazy how close they actually got before they were arrested, considerin…

Not to mention any medical devices you might have on or in you.

Does it not signal something, that in all of the publication's history, all the world events it has existed through, that now is the time they decide make an endorsement? Instead o…

We stop former felons from taking certain government jobs. There's no reason we can't do the same for current or former members of white supremacist organizations. You don't get to…

Using Proxy is key to a lot of bot detection avoidance. edit: Really like that repo! I use a lot of those techniques as well.

There are services that will solve captcha for you (including Google's) in "real-time", and with convenient APIs that allow for automation.

One day I will right an extensive post (or set of them) about using Puppeteer to bypass sites' anti-bot measures. It's a fascinating (and annoying) cat-and-mouse game. But at the e…

You don't need to poll the DOM yourself. Puppeteer's page.waitForSelector() does this for you. You can specify a timeout of how long to wait.
