I didn't read any article.

1. Tell me what's oversimplified

2. Socialist strawman - i don't care about what a socilist is.

3. Amazon workers is something people can relate with, it makea sense to use it.

Go somewhere else for your moderation skills.

Titanium rod in my bone marrow cavity qualifies as an implant :)

That's another HN lesson for all, not everyone goes through the linked article and it's perfectly reasonable to do so :)

But there are other people who point about others achievement, everyone still feels same.

I've got titanium nails (controlled through magnet remote) in bone which helped me increase my height from 5'8 to 6'2 my dream height.

The method is called distraction osteogenesis where bone is cut obliquely and distanced 0.8mm a day.

I got both femur and tibia through the procedure in both legs to preserve the biomechanics which have to do with the femur to tibia ratio.

That said i don't feel anything. But this change has tremendously helped me gain confidence. So, my atheletism isn't affected in anyway.

I always had technical competence but was sidelined because of my lack of confidence due to my below average height.

I saw some really tall guys without any degree getting the role which i had experience/qualification for without any issue.

Today, I am a CEO of a small company and no longer insecure :)

It's like asking how to find a wife because that's what a co-founder is :)

Easiest way is, tell them that you are willing to work for half the wage required for this role and see what they've to say :)

1. Sell data to ad regulators

2. Sell data to competitors of the advertisers, turning online advertisement less effective in long term and easier in short term.

3. Sell ads data to activists etc...who will sue the company running misleanding ads and defrauding consumers.

In absense of competition, life is pretty boring.

A scraping company can only pickup limited number of ads from limited profiles.

If more companies start scraping, scam and advertisers will be caught faster and prosecuted once vigilantes use these tools to report fraudlent ads.

2. About morallity, ad tech companies are hyper targeting people with ads which some evil advertisers take advantage of and bypass moderation.

Ads are targetted in such way that expert users and regulators do not see them but the naive ones get tricked.

If we scrap ads using different visitor profiles and list all ads, along with offensive/malware ads... wouldn't it help regulators moderate ads?

So is it still morally wrong to go against ad tech companies by scraping their scam/tricky ads?

Also what's the latest tech stack for easy scraping?

Most new developers are not able to scrap using regex, css selectors etc... So is there any new advancement in scraping field?

adplexity.com - 5 million USD revenue.

Better launch a new product first, make revenue like the product i posted and use that money to fund your big business.
