I'd like to know why my comment was downvoted, none of what I laid out is false.

what you do on your own time with or without company resources is yours. too many armchair lawyers on HN trying to spread FUD and scare employers. As long as you don't compete using their code, everything is fair game. Such bullying la

where can I find a complete list of unicorns trading on the exchange? seems like a great year to short them all.

What I'm trying to do with http://letsopensource.com is similar except offer structured incentives for developers that contribute to FOSS.

I don't know what's worse. Not offering 1 job with livable wage but splitting it amongst multiple workers along with the livable wage.

The biggest fascinating point about Tardigrades is that they can survive in space . I think the implication of this should be explored further.

It's pretty obvious, you aren't anywhere close to being an adult which you mistake yourself for. Instead I'm going to end this conversation because you are being juvenile. Have a nice Friday

I guess when I was working on my SaaS, I was in a similar situation for a few years. I didn't have any social interactions. Just coding and peddling monthly subscriptions for years and years. Were there underlying issues that drove me

I disagree. It's the cultural reaction of being self-resilient and maintaining face against the structural pressures that capitalism presents in economies that started to stagnate since the early 90s. The evidence I see to support the

I feel like this is the future for tomorrow's generation. As artificial intelligence's economies of scale proves to be far more seductive than exploiting human labor, unskilled white/blue collar labor will disappear. As jobs

I see, so there's not much value beyond startups and bootstrappers. I feel like it's a hard sell to enterprises. Scraping is viewed inferior to an API so it makes sense for enterprises to just pay the target website for access to

It doesn't. It would be like stepping in to a store because people were welcoming you and realizing that by sitting down you've automatically agreed and consented to tiny ToS written behind every napkin. It's unenforceable an

Aaron Swartz was a weird one. Some zealous IT guy exaggerated it as if national security data were being scraped when in fact most were just shoddy research papers written at 1 AM before the due date. All people that landed a hand in this m

No. I will not censor my opinions. Wrong is wrong. Planatir and Peter Thiel routinely disregards the very pillars of democracy. Shame on you for internalizing and projecting the same shameless values to censor opinions against a gay demi-go

your arrogance is amusing. did you really expect me to read all that? Try summarizing your ego in one sentence or less and maybe if I give a shit on Monday when this comment is buried.

I find your comment highly condescending and your attempt to take the higher moral ground is laughable by pretending to be an adult which you failed at by doing the very same thing you criticized due to differences in opinion. Stop projecti

Homelessness is a serious problem in Vancouver. Just walking along granville st., aka "entertainment district" (hard to NOT be snarky here too many awful memories) there's vagabond population along the sidewalk in front of lu

So you redefined homelessness and end up counting less people in order to call it success.

Are these developers? Business people? I'm curious because we've been searching for a tool like this for a while but ultimately management thought it was a bad idea to rely on scraping, there's simply no replacement for a RES

The network as I understand will automatically throttle and flag you if you are firing too many RPS. If you are hitting a particular domain over and over especially. So it's not possible to take down websites with TOR unless it's

You can be sued for crossing the street. You can be sued for flipping the bird and someone happens to get aneurism from it. You can be sued for writing what you just wrote!

This can't be a solution for people using web scraping: The goal for web scrapers is to pay as little as possible for as much data as possible.

Story doesn't add up. First, it's very hard to pull off a DDOS attack using Tor. The most you could get would be less than someone repeatedly pressing refresh every second. This is because if you hit the same domain repeatedly the

If someone breaks the TOS, you can block them or send them C&D letters. If you have the cash to take someone to court but you are going to be on the losing side. ToS is not a mutually binding agreement. Even if you have a checkbox that

No. TOS is not mutually binding agreement. You can't invite people to your garage sales and tell people that by looking at the items they've made a final sale automatically without their consent.

This feels a lot like the "downloading mp3 is stealing". If you don't want people stealing your music, don't put it other people's hands. The minute you release it to the world, it can't be reversed. See streis
