There is a lot of literature on the subject if you want more pragmatic notes. You read Rachel’s blog not only for the tech experience, but for her storytelling skills. I particularly enjoy her blog.

In this crap situation atm, can attest. Currently maintaining a Python app for the delicate snowflakes whose years of math understanding somehow prevents them from being able to learn a language that isn’t Python. We have money, let’s just

The CRM data comes from the advertising party. I answered above around the financial data, nothing related to individuals.

Think industry financial firmo graphics type data. Not your CC transactions. Also, I am not a moral compass. I have just done enough to feel proud of what I do while still making bank.

We don’t collect PII, emails, scrap profiles, etc. We are not in a situation in which someone could perform a few joins and know who was reading what, that’s not how we designed it. If anything, we use a lot of financial and CRM data.

We don’t use fingerprinting besides cookies and don’t rely on third party identity graphs; we have over a decade of experience doing B2B and understand what works. Also, anticipating the death of the cookie, we are moving towards contextual

They cannot tie back impressions as they only deliver those on their platforms, they dont’t have an exchange like Google. If you are talking about third party identifier online syncs, any decent ad blocker will stop those. Offline syncs bre

If I delete my account I stop using it, hence I stop giving tracking data to them and their partners. Why do you think that cutting that heartbeat signal, even a single login once a month, has no impact? Over time all of the relationships

I do tons of things, and yes, I know deleting Facebook/Instagram had an effect.

I moved to B2B, doing ads for companies targeting employees of other companies. Convincing you to buy a bad database is not harmful compared to convincing you buy unhealthy food or feel anxious about not having the latest in fashion.

I design Ad Tech systems, currently work as an architect for a DSP, and I deleted my Facebook accounts years ago. People who think they are privacy conscious and use Facebook are a living oxymoron.

Actually, could you elaborate on the benefits of your approach? edit: I am asking because this is counter intuitive to anything I'd want to solve with K8. Specially when it comes as a managed service.

Not only that, the penalty only takes place IF they didn't follow the "adequate precautions to secure the data".

Is this true?

I was looking forward to watching this movie, and this is a a spoiler when you put two and two together. The actual murderer is the one character who never uses an iPhone in any scene. :/

Have you had this conversation with your manager? If the difference is truly objective, you can argue for them. The "meta" you are missing here is salary negotiation.

People put up with many things for a salary. I doubt it is filtering out anybody.

This is your career, so do with it as you like. Nevertheless, understand that there are people who hate the pet titles that "fun" investors like to give to their employees. Enjoy it "Waimonauts", lol.

What do you mean by “don’t produce nearly as much as I do”? Are you measuring feature completion or business impact? If your managers are happy with your coworkers that “produce less”, then chances are their efforts have the same business i

No you couldn't, I remember this being a PITA. Unless you had done the backups of your data yourself and wiped the installation of the machine, you were screwed. This is the same situation for iOS. https://www.overclockers.c

It isn't a new thing, but the false belief among tech elites that by using ad-blockers or a tool like Thor you are unaffected by modern marketing technologies is new and perhaps naive. You'd have to boycott street ads, tv and rad

There is no such thing. People still buy online marketed products a magnitude times more than non-marketed products. In fact, advertisement techniques are now so advanced that consumers believe they were not "influenced" in their

I am not rejecting the author's analysis, but the industry is moving towards cost per conversion. Even marketers for small time ad agencies have gotten savvy and realized that the click is nothing but a proxy. Also, I never realized G

Is there a way to tell how Facebook is tracking you if you deleted your account?

As someone who owns a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, it wouldn't surprise me if my next MacBook Pro is ARM based. They are just different tools for different purposes.

I feel this is a horrible anti-consumer practice, but their ROI must be incredibly low. I don't remember the last time I played a game on a Mac. I wonder how Apple Arcade is doing.

> It is the latest development in a pattern of Apple acquiescing to Beijing’s demands. Last July, Apple deleted VPN apps from the App Store that let mainland Chinese internet users evade censorship. Apple’s lawyers have also added a clau
