Mario Zechner discovers anti-competitive illegal grocery pricing practices in Austria
https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/111071396799790275Via siderea | The Austrian Grocery Price Comparison Website Story [tech, law, Austria]:
The following is magnificent, and I commend it to you.
Over on Mastodon, programmer Mario Zechner gives a first person account of how his exasperation with his government's (Austria) corruption and ineptitude led to him preempting a government web development boondoggle, and subsequently unearthing a whole world of anti-competitive illegal grocery pricing and precipitating federal antitrust action. A heartwarming story of screenscraping, data science, and international amity.
