> I’m happy to do whatever makes the most sense in any given situation

What makes the most sense in this situation: you walk to the nearest pizza place, you buy your pizza, done.

To an able-bodied person it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

Bonus points: you know the way back to your home.

> because problem-solving is work

You know who made someone else's problem a problem=solving problem? You.

The delivery guy will eventually find your place or he's just taking a different route for whatever reason.

How arrogant is it to think that you can tell people how to do their job, from your couch?

You obsession for micro managing other people's actions it only says that you suffer from high anxiety, it is not in any way proof that you make everyone better off. That's just what you tell yourself.

This is a completely unhinged response to the idea of getting pizza delivered...

I am watching the Speed Chess Championship on Twitch as we speak and the commentators along with interviews with GMs and the players themselves are nonstop talking about bluffing and anticipation.

Magnus for example talks about the importance of purposely making a sub-optimal move as a way to bluff your opponent. Your opponent likely has memorized all the optimal moves and so you make a sub-optimal move to leave your opponent guessing whether you made a genuine mistake that you can be punished for, or whether you made that sub-optimal move on purpose because you studied it extensively whereas your opponent has not and you know if your opponent doesn't play it absolutely perfectly you can trap them.

I mean seriously you can watch the championship for free on Twitch right now with GM Naroditsky and GM Rozman, and they don't really talk that much about what the theoretical best moves are, they talk about the psychology, about players going on tilt, about making aggressive moves to throw your opponent off. It's fun and fascinating.

Sorry to be pedantic but Rozman isn't a GM

It really depends. There are plenty of legitimate uses for scraping (for example, I've been involved with academic research that involved scraping Twitter search results), and it's only really feasible to collect the amount of data you need using scraping plus paid proxies. That being said, there are also a number of nefarious paid proxy services which offer residential IPs (read: are usually botnets).

What is legitimate to a user is not the same as what is legitimate to a site owner. The legitimate way would probably be to use the Twitter API.

"Nefarious" is a strong word. Courts have repeatedly ruled that scraping data that is otherwise available publicly is legal. You may not personally agree with the ethics, but there are a lot of people who do.

I agree it's a strong word, which is why I said borderline nefarious. However, it's not that far off from a DDOS tool.

At least in the United States, sounds like the jury is still out on the legality: https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-supreme-court-revives-..., but my perspective was more from an ethics standpoint anyway.

Unrelated to the article - is it just me or is this scrapingbee product borderline nefarious? From the homepage:

> Thanks to our large proxy pool, you can bypass rate limiting website, lower the chance to get blocked and hide your bots!

> Scrapingbee helps us to retrieve information from sites that use very sophisticated mechanism to block unwanted traffic, we were struggling with those sites for some time now and I'm very glad that we found ScrapingBee.
