true I guess. I think everything is just more commercialized than it used to be. Expensive and poor quality

Even LHR is better than the experience at any US airport.

also considering tests above - \"webDriver\": \"FAIL\" - seems like you'll totally get blocked by any anti-bot

I used to do HIIT daily and would always get sick (like sore throat) from 2-3 weeks. After a while I got injured and started going to normal gym. The sick periods were gone

I see what you mean now. Good points.

Would you like college to be remote too? School? Let's all wake up in our pijamas, hop on a zoom and live most of our lives like that?

This is much more than a one person's problem, but it's a general issue that many older people with well-established lives don't sympathize with unfortunately. As much as others can deny, work is source of most people's

No, the data comes from users' interactions with the platform, and they have to run a massive engineering feat to take all of that and run 24/7. It's expensive and so it's reasonable to charge something
103.
by asdadsdad 4y ago
Well they mentioned "basic tier API", so I guess let's wait for the pricing and capabilities, no? My main criticism is they're not being assholes just for charging for an API access to their data.

corollary: never build a company that depends on web scraping
105.
by asdadsdad 4y ago
I don't think that's too related to cutting down bots. It's about making money from their dataset, which is valid. Why do people think they can hammer an API without paying?

You're right. It is an issue and a lot of players and researchers are already into it in an area called "Trust & Safety". However, these are problems that pertain to platforms as opposed to other tech enterprises, and as

by asdadsdad 4y ago
I feel like most of OSINT is more manual than these lists lead to believe. Or if not, most of it relies on already-built massive archives or tools that scrape those archives.

German was the Nazi State in the WWII. It's one of the most strongly integrated countries in the EU. What does that have to do with anything? History should be remembered but we're not playing 2022/3 by the rules of the pas

what kinds of things do you track?

by asdadsdad 4y ago
I'd be interested too.

I'd go for Paris, but depends on your culture too. I also think that Paris is stepping up its game after Brexit to attract tech, so you might find it a good deal in the future should you choose to branch out or start your own thing. Le

lol. fair. London is still better than Toronto tho.

My point is: if you have to leave the US due to immigration, frankly I'd rather go to Britain than Canada. At least I get an exciting change in lifestyle. Canada is too close to America in what it tries to do but fails. UK is f* up, bu

by asdadsdad 4y ago
yeah, exactly.

There was an interesting reading a while ago, trying to find. It basically boiled down to "The Canadian dream is move to America". Canada is a middle-class, "middle-all", in fact, country with, in my opinion little excit

Agree, and it's sad because indeed Britain in the early 2000s was the coolest place to be. I mean, if they had stayed in the EU it'd still have a lot of its appeal. Now it's just a sad island with tough immigration and not mu

by asdadsdad 4y ago
I think that can be true, but from knowing many people that did take that route, I don't think that's a stable kind of immigration though. i.e. people who do that would rather be in the US but couldn't and are often just wait
