I used that to sum unique visitors on websites, by summing daily bloom filters corresponding to the set of visitors each day. It was pretty cool to be able to sum "unique" metrics, which is usually not possible in classic reporti

Why not ? Amazon has launched an offer where you can pay to access all kind of otherwise paywall gated media content (Amazon video and music and twitch prime etc) while also having 2 day delivery on a set of retail products not necessarily

You can reallocate. Only top tier brands use ads, and the price of the advertising is part of the premium you pay for the brand name. For a lot of products, there's no functional difference with their cheaper alternatives. So, this bra

A lot of advertising is not meant to increase discretionary spending, but to make you pick product A over product B when the moment comes to choose over alternatives. At the very basic level of it, advertising is giving out the information

I think that's one of the only sane comment around there, not thinking in a vacuum. Thank you :-)

Not sure what are your hobbies (if any). If you have some passion that you're unable to share, I'd advise actively looking for people with a similar taste online. It's usually quite easier to make friends from unknown people

I doesn't seem hard to imagine a CI pipeline that sends an email/sms for validation and waits an affirmative answer before continuing. I have no idea how to receive texts on a server, but sending and receiving emails is super easy

The difference is that you don't have to go on Ars Technica. Whereas you rarely choose to be punched in the face. If the entry to a club was "either be punched in the face, or pay", I bet the majority of patrons would simply

Well, it was my obvservation reading typescript code (never wrote a line in this language) with a background from java and then c# and then scala. The observables part felt really easy even without knowing the language syntax, but I suppose

Well, I've only known it used in the adtech space, but I'll really miss it. It made writing a bidder on the open rtb exchanges a doable things without too much tech. With exchanges going back to first price, I think the barrier to

I'm not sure I'm buying that. The JVM ? Still rocking it 20 years after. Memory allocations pattern ? Still there. The network stack ? Well, doesn't seem to have changed a lot. The older guys, they seem like they had the time

This style of auction moves the complexity away from the buyer. In a traditional one-round sealed first price auction, you're trying to guess what everybody else is bidding and bid a penny more. It's incredibly difficult for a buy

I think the missing assumption is that doing "just protobuf" is not always a possibility when you in the end have an open API front-facing the internet. So now there is a point in your codebase where you are receiving data in a JS

There a lot of cases of the exact same product being sold at different price tags under different names/brands. In an economic system, a product tries to be sold at the highest price possible _for each potential buyer_, not as a whole.
