   Its also bad for perception of the aviation industry if people die from faulty hardware. Many people don't like to fly already because they don't feel safe. These type of incidents don't help calm those fears.

   I can't tell that I'm seeing "their" ads. The way I see ads is a notification type prompt where I have to click view and navigate to a sponsored page. Do you have a side by side where Brave replaces a site's ad with

    Lower transaction fees and your friend likely has an account (or it is very easy to sign up FB user with Libra). As long as Libra is cheaper compared to existing method of transferring funds, it'll be a success. Say it costs me $8 to s

    There are some low end VPS providers too that go as low as $1/mo. I usually stick to $2/mo or higher just for stability, reliability. Even you even got hosts like Hetzner Cloud, Scaleway (see European hosts) that provide great ser

    Why would you say extra 100ms is a minimal drawback? Google obsesses over load time because faster load time means more ad dollars generated. 700ms vs 800ms is the difference between acceptable and a slow loading web site.

    Does PayPal still require you to arbitrate in California? This is why auto-sweep is so useful. At most, they can only have 3 business days of your money.

    Bounce rate is a metric. If the person clicking decides to stay on your web site after the click-through, then that's a good measure of ad relevance.
