I can't read the article myself, but the blurbs I can read:

> Turkey’s billion-dollar hair-transplant industry is the result of a constant process of innovation. [...] it’s also a tale of “hacked” medical equipment and algorithmic craftsmanship

Seems there was some actual "hacking" involved, if they had to patch medical equipment, but who knows how much of the article is actually about that, I can't actually see any text.

Hack is being used to get more clicks.

If you're not white enough, it's a hack. You can get around this problem by attracting some VC funding and building your HQ in Silicon Valley. /s

It’s hacking when it’s someone you don’t like.

In this context it's being used in much the same way as in "growth hacking", which is an actual position people hire for.
