The fact the number of Tethers in circulation basically never goes down even when the crypto market gets more then halved says it all as far as I'm concerned, but without an investigation it is speculation. I was referring to the ratio

Sounds a bit heavy without a tool designed for maps or rasters, but this is similar in nature to other tips I got here using GIS-tools (namely the GeoServer one). Thank you!

Thanks for your input! I'll be trying to implement hardly-scrapeable data as a learning opportunity (as I'm working towards coding + GIS career), but settling for a subset of data + demonstrative video would be a satisfactory comp

Thanks I'll look into that. Deterring the casual scraper would be the goal basically, make them work enough that it's not worth the hassle in respect to the price for legitimate access as a motivated and technical person with a lo

Thank you for the suggestions, especially that last one - I may be "paranoid" considering the target audience are professionals, I really should focus on the product rather than the fence (besides some basic defense so the points

Love this idea, great way to have a raster be interactive without keeping point coordinates client-side. I do assume that someone very motivated and knowledgeable will always find a way to scrape it, I just have to make it hard enough that

Offtopic, but while I may have nerdy GISers gathering here I'll shoot my shot. Someone knows what is a common/standard way of displaying vector information (points in this case) without having that information scrape-able? Is that

Facebook sponsored posts and Twitch ads are the only ones that get away with it that I've came across - and noticed at least. When you inspect FB sponsored posts' HTML they're very obscured indeed, there's sure no instan

Young people (say under <20, those that actually don't use FB[1]) have no need for FB in the first place - they see their friends every day in school, in parascholar activities and social gatherings. Once you are out of school is wh

~$30/user (on 3.5B users), not exactly small if you ask me. If you do a DCF on a $30/y coupon, even assuming it doesn't grow, you'll find that Facebook's (family of products) individual users are quite valuable.

In a way, the more trouble FB gets without being scratched, the more the sustainability of its business model is proven. Regulatory changes are basically the main risk behind their stock IMO, or else they wouldn't be trading at a disco
