Was quite surprised to see that Yad2 is blocking IPs outside Israel.

According to the message (in Hebrew), the decision was made due to Cyber attacks.

Now, this is a definitely a reasonable decision for a websites which serves only Israelis in Hebrew, but it also means that people who travel cannot use the website.

 

Bloomberg app reported on Usain Bolt’s 100m Gold Medal while related Articles recognised the word “Gold” and offered related Articles on Gold.

Not really a problem, but it only shows the real value of analysing data correctly. Understanding the context rather than recognising specific words.
