Same.... I'll install it in a few months when all the major security bugs have been found and patched!

Tell that to the thousands of apps/sides out there which rely on scraped data ;) (Including all search engines/LLMs/price comparison sites etc)

True, but also need to know the basics well of what constitutes good code and how it should scale vs just working code. Too many people relying on LLMs to produce stuff which just …

Nice concept. I've definitely seen this play out in practice. A lot of sites aren't impossible to scrape, but they're steadily getting more expensive. We're having to lean more on …

Actually as someone who is over 225lbs and only going up in weight monthly I don't think its fair to presume things about others like that.... As another commenter said - its simpl…

Until they find out that there are unintended side effects... Better off just exercising and eating as clean as you can!

Instead of focusing solely on the "market boom" and technological advancements, we should be having a serious conversation about the societal implications and the long-term sustain…

If only the rest of the western world could do this imagine how much better it could be to live in large cities...

Looks great! I've had the same issue as you with many projects - so many people leave the marketing till the end so don't beat yourself up about it now. (Hopefully you will have le…

Meetup really could be a 10x better platform. As someone who's run a group on it having to pay to then put in the work to run a group on top of that is just crazy. They could have …

Travel between countries in Europe is improving every year too. Next week I'll be traveling from Bordeaux to Berlin (over 1,600km) - it's faster than the car (16 hours by car vs 12…

I doubt many website owners feel they have an ethical responsibility to provide public APIs to their data so people wouldn't scrape their content. It is up to them what they want t…

What does one get for actually being nice and being an "ethical web scraper"? I don't see many people bothering to be honest, developers who are out there scraping are mostly just …

My only thought on their refunding process is that maybe they don't have a simple way to just click one button to refund everyone for that specific campaign? We should probably not…

HN also has moderators who can step in when things look like they're getting out of control which really helps. Or in some cases just point people to the rules and tell them to sto…

I think it's interesting how they justify giving 1 million of the donation proceeds to the Organisers but then decide that the rest just doesn't make the cut. It would be nice if t…

This is where a decentralised fundraising platform would come in handy :)

Madness that they haven't gotten back to your access request in 6 months! Why even bother having the API there - so much value can be added by people building on top of YouTube and…

That looks like a great resource! How often is the data set "updated"? I'd imagine most people's use cases need data which can change from day to day or week to week but I do think…

Haha I love that people forget how google/bing are out there scraping everything and anyone who scrapes anything for any other reason is a "bad guy". You can get around some web sc…
