Just read that 1946 New Yorker article on the first bombing that made HNs front page a week back. This passage is probably the one Zuckerberg would use: > Over everything—up through the wreckage of the city, in gutters, along the riverba

I see where you're coming from. Good points. I was taking it for granted that knowing the location of an unmanned, expendable sonar buoy or probe before you're discovered is not tactically important. Now that you have me thinking,

I'm skeptical of that Ronald French story. Wikipedia, and all the journalists recently covering the story, take all his assertions at face value and don't seem to question whether it's a simple spotlight-seeking tall tale. It

My point is in this scenario there's no appreciable difference between "if you can hear them, they've already found you" and "if you can hear them, they'll find you in 40 seconds" The observation that they

Bribes often get more bang for your buck from the bottom up. A big bribe from T-mobile to the Turkish government can be less effective than a small bribe to the two field agents who are sent out to scoop him up.

I don't see how this scanning reduces the likelihood of a government searching their servers. Seems to me like this can only result in more court orders than they had before scanning.

Why the contagion analogy? If contagion wasn't a factor, I'd rather test in the kitchen, it's cozier. Are you suggesting CSAM will infect more unwilling victims if it gets into a private iCloud account?

I think the definitions you're cherry-picking are examples of the erosion of the term's specificity, We need a word to describe scraping data values from a body of human-oriented markup. These folks are pushing the limits of ambig

APIs are rate-limited all the time. Compensating for being throttled or paginated isn't scraping. Scraping is the act of extricating data from the layout and markup metadata meant to make it pretty for humans. APIs generally don't

Yes, clearly they recognized the need to backpedal somewhat from their long string of intimations that these languages have savage and primal qualities. Did you think that passage was a total non-sequitur? Are they cautioning you from belie

What you do with the data after you have it is not a qualification for whether or not you got it by scraping.

They call whistling languages "vestiges," a "protolanguage," and baselessly speculate that they originate from less-evolved primates. The writer's tone keeps reverting to subtly dismissive and colonialist.

Scraping refers specifically to extracting data from a format designed to be read by humans instead of machines. The gross inefficiency and low data-to-layout ratio are the key things being expressed through connotations of the word "s
