I don't really get how this relates to my point? All I was saying is that buying on the "dark web" is not always synonymous with bad intentions. I did not say it legally (I assume that's what you meant) allowed parti

People are not yet omniscient, I agree. But lately there's this wonderful new tool called the Internet which allows people to become omniscient as far as product discovery is concerned. If you have a product that solves problem X, make

Yep, this is the only thing which I agree with. When I scrape I always try to use as little resources as possible and make sure it’s appropriate for the size of the site I’m scraping (I wouldn’t care about sending 1k requests/second to

I disagree. You wouldn’t need “outbound sales” if you had a product that people wanted. They would be calling you with their wallets open if it was the case. You only need outbound sales/scammers if you have a product that you thi

Doesn’t look unethical to me. The site is making money by intentionally withholding information and getting people to pay more than what they should. It’s only fair that someone uses this trick against them and defeats their bullshit busine

Scraping is not unethical IMO. If you make the data public then everyone has the right to use it for whatever reason. Arbitrarily restricting what the data can be used for is what I would call unethical.

Not unethical at all. They were paying X amount of money to get Y work done. You were providing that just fine (I’d say you were providing them even better value because you eliminated human error). It’s not your fault if they would rather

Telemarketing does not help grease the wheels of commerce . It helps grease the wheels of scamming. Commerce is when people buy stuff they do need and that provides value to them. Telemarketing is conning people by pushing them to buy shit

Unless the electronics were branded as stolen I wouldn’t immediately assume malicious intent from the buyers. People might have all kinds of reasons buying those electronics anonymously - maybe there are no other channels to get them from (

True, but frankly it is Git’s model that is broken, or at the very least overcomplicated. I do not care whether files are staged or not up until the point I actually want to commit, so personally the IntelliJ way of doing it is perfect.

Just wondering, what's the actual use-case for an URL shortener in 2018? I would understand maybe like 10 years ago when SMS was still king and you were limited in characters, but now? URL shorteners now look shady (and can be used to

Are your invoices a subscription payment, or are they for one-off services? How do customers usually pay for them at the moment? Is it automatable (credit cards, etc) or is it highly manual (cheques, etc) My recommendation would be to stop

Because shitty companies like Elsevier still want to stick around even though their purpose was obsoleted by the Internet, and are using their influence to try and achieve that.

Given how many sites blatantly ignore or violate GDPR (no opt-out, etc) I'd say there doesn't seem to be any enforcement. At the moment, GDPR is just scare-mongering but in the end is just as useless as the previous privacy direct

Often you can't even easily pay for it. If they would just put an "ATM" where you insert your card/cash and get a WPA2 password in exchange it would be so much better.

GDPR compliance requires opt-out, so cookie notifications are useless as far as compliance now. If you don't/can't comply, then you might as well not mention cookies at all - in both cases you're in breach of GDPR but

Well they chose convenience over security, which in this case is fair enough (it's public Wi-Fi to being with). Another solution would've been to implement WPA2 Enterprise, where employees could have their own, permanent credent

I might want a million dollars but have no idea how to earn it nor enough power to force everyone to give me their money. Now give me my million dollars! Let’s be real. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

If you wanted your Wi-Fi to be for customers only then you'd use WPA2 Enterprise with unique per-user passwords, or at least change the static password every day.

I understand the hate on Microsoft given the recent abominations they produce (Windows 10, "improved" version of Skype, etc) but why the hate on closed-source software in general? People need to eat too.

Ditch the "embedded" videos. Use a screenshot linking to the videos directly. Embedded videos still load a ton of shit and track visitors without their consent.

Or just you know, not do anything that would require consent in the first place. If you have to ask for consent you’re already doing some of the bullshit outlined in the above article.
