Ask HN: News scraping APIs – how are they legal?
YC even funded one of them! I'm curious about how this is possibly legal. If it is legal, it would of course be cheaper for me to simply scrape the website I need instead of paying one of the apis.

My personal projects in the past have often utilized a Node.js backend (Express) that served a React frontend, with a postgres db with Knex. I have a bit of familiarity with Rails.
I'm wondering how much things have changed in the past few years. I'm reading that React should probably be avoided, Vue seems popular, Svelte seems like the shiny new thing. I'm considering looking into Django as learning Python might be worthwhile.
My day job uses Kotlin, so Ktor or Spring seems like an option.
The project I'm building will basically scrape some data every day, store it in a database, and serve a front end primarily consisting of graphs. Is there a particular tech stack that is more suitable to that these days? Are there any stacks that should be avoided for such requirements? "Overengineering" is something I want to avoid.
However, I'm certainly not a domain expert in most of these topics, which makes reading these papers difficult. Is there somewhere where I can read summaries about the newest developments in some topic (e.g. math, cosmology, etc.) in layman's terms?

Is there a reasonable explanation for this, or is it a complete bubble?
Has anyone received any emails regarding the fall hackathon?
