> Radio stations inherently can't selectively broadcast. Websites can.

If they can, then there's no problem. If they can't selectively broadcast, or can't do it exactly as they want to, then you're back to the radio case.

> The fact that websites already attempt to prevent ad blocked users from viewing content means that they would block it if they would know.

Fine, but they apparently don't know how to block everyone they want to, so it's their choice to continue sending data to everyone they aren't blocking.

> Exploiting the fact that they don't know in a particular case (by using ad blocker blocker blockers, which are a thing) is exploiting a bug.

No, that's not even close to a bug. You clearly don't know what a bug is. This is a limitation of the transmission medium, known by all parties, where all parties can chose to stop participating at any time. They are in general unable to verify with certainty what any given client will do with the data that the server sends back. This is a property of the protocol used by everyone, not a bug in the server's software.

> Plenty of websites have a contract or agreement about data they send you. See e.g. Youtube's terms of service, section 5.C.

That says nothing about not displaying ads - it's talking about violating copyright. And it's not something it even normally displays to people AFAIK.

There's no drawback to buying a lot more electric buses for Seattle?

There's already that underground highway being dug, that runs along the bay.

> You can always say you have no problem doing this when you are at the offer stage and both sides think it is a fit.

Thanks, that sounds good.

After you already have an established career, maybe.

Look for a better paying job immediately??

"In full awareness" means they know they are sending you data and that you are free to do whatever you want with it. You could view it with Lynx, or some other text only browser, or with a modern browser with Javascript turned off, or with an ad blocker, or with a computer program or script. There's no contract or agreement that says you have to display the data returned from the web server in any specific manner.

> If they knew you were blocking ads, they wouldn't have sent it. The bug is that they didn't detect it.

No, they have no way of detecting it. That's not a bug, it's how the medium functions. You might as well say radio stations wouldn't transmit if they knew I turned them off for a few minutes during commercial breaks, and claim that that is a bug, and that I am illegally exploiting that bug for free radio.

Oh my goodness, I went to the bathroom during a commercial break when watching TV last night. How much should I pay the TV station for stealing that show from them?

You could do that while lifting and carrying a 150 pound person up some stairs? Maybe if you had a rope with a slip knot, you could run down and put the rope around their body and run back up, then pull them up the stairs while trying not to hit their head on each step?

Of course they all want you to feel like you're paid above average. :| How much are houses in your area, within a 20 min commute?

Started at 110k + 15 sign on bonus my first year. I got at least 90k over 3 years in stock after the prices went up so high.

Ooooh, tell us what it's like to be so rich!

I suspect if you can learn to play Mancala in elementary school you can learn to manage counting up to at least 4 braces.

Can you explain that more? I see plenty of programming books in foreign languages.
