He explains it in the FAQ.
- TomasSedovic 16y agoThe explanation (CAPTCHAs should be simple for humans; we don't say it's unbreakable) still doesn't address the underlying problem. It is too easy. I have no idea how to do image recognition and yet I could use this to scrape the addresses. Moreover, this service has a great potential to use real human language and context to protect the addresses and provide easy and accessible test. Just let me type a freeform question and an expected answer. If I posted the link here and it asked you to enter the city I live in, everyone reading this comment here on Hacker News could easily figure it out. Breaking this solution in general would be infeasible for bots.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoA captcha is something which can tell the difference between a human and a computer. What he's using is something other than a captcha. Not sure what it is, but it isn't a captcha. What it definitely is though is a massive waste of time.
