Regarding yahoo answers project pause

---------------------------------------

12:57 < pork_FzdYG> Any further information about why yahoo answers project is paused?
12:57 <@arkiver> yes
12:57 <@arkiver> just found out
12:58 <@arkiver> yahoo is serving is different data on _reservice_ response then regular users
12:58 <@arkiver> first of all old data
12:59 <@arkiver> second they return empty "payload" in the JSON response for EXTRA_QUESTIONS_LIST PUT request on _reservice_
12:59 <@arkiver> and all that while still giving status code 200
12:59 <@arkiver> extremely shitty
12:59 <@arkiver> there's going to be a bunch of checks in the code for this, and we're going to use browser useragents
12:59 <@arkiver> not sure yet what this means for the data we have archived up to now
12:59 < LeighR> nasty!
13:00 < fofofofofofofofo> so the data we've collected so far may be different/bad?
13:00 <@arkiver> yes
13:00 < fofofofofofofofo> oof
13:00 < LeonardoSaponara> Hi there
13:01 < LeonardoSaponara> I'm getting "Project code is out of date and needs to be upgraded. To remedy this problem immediately, you may reboot your warrior. 
                          Retrying after 120 seconds..." And rebooting doesn't seem to help
13:01 < etnguyen03> project is paused
13:01 < LeonardoSaponara> wait, sorry, pinned post just loaded
13:02 < lunik1> so this is deliberate?
13:02 < LeighR> if we try another route, IPs in Europe might be problematic - when I go to https://answers.yahoo.com, I immediately get redirected to 
                https://consent.yahoo.com/v2/collectConsent?sessionId=... which requires clicking a button (I'm in Germany)
13:05 < fofofofofofofofo> if its like youtube, you can probably send a consent cookie to bypass that
13:05 < fofofofofofofofo> if its like youtube, you can probably send a consent cookie to bypass that
13:10 < MPM> yeah there is an "EuConsent" cookie that gets stored when you accept that message
13:14 <+AK> We bypass that, don't worry
13:15 < dyc3> We're paused? Did something happen?
13:15 < MPM> long story short: yahoo happened
13:16 < thuban> yahoo is feeding us bad pagination, it's being worked on
13:17 < LeonardoSaponara> thuban: On purpose ?
13:18 < thuban> presumably (it appears to be based on the user agent)
