Same, in Paris we've encountered the same hour-long "where's the waiter"

This doesn't make sense.

My last trip to Paris was 1 year ago and it was pretty bad compared to NYC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco for the average tourist - especially at night.

It has nothing to do with credit card processing fees, or data-mining.

Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile want you to connect a bank account to further tie an identity to a phone number / account.

This comes at request of the government. They do not want anonymous cellular users.

The funny thing is Product Marketing Managers, to boost sign-up numbers, completely omit this step in certain regions like India, Eastern Europe, etc.

Rest in Peace Kevin, I read your The Art of Human Hacking in 7th grade after learning about you from The Screen Savers TV show.

CSS selectors has been common for the scrapers I've been using for years.

This honestly is standard web scraping but these projects always catch my attention.

You're bound at the mercy of rate-limiting firewalls (so you'll have to rotate proxies if you intend on using this heavily) on top of the standard CloudFront bot detection recaptcha, and div-obfuscation (a good example of this is Facebook).

Agreed, it's fud - and there are professional botnets on HackerNews to amplify what they want.

What I've noticed is there's little technical discussion, and more so emotional-provoking replies.
