I have worked in ad tech for a while and I am not sure that I really believe a lot of this article. I am not quite sure what advertisers are complaining about. Facebook should still be able to track purchases of physical goods, since most

I saw him live in Foxboro MA in the 1994 world cup match vs Greece (before he was disqualified for drug use). The crowd reaction to him was amazing. Every time he ran near the section I was in the crowd would go crazy just because he was

Fir waves are pretty obscure. Agree about the clusters. I am most familiar with the northern forests of New England (strictly as an amateur) and they are a wonderfully dynamic place. From big events like the Hurricane of '38, to small

True, although the notion of a climax forest in New England is a bit of a myth, since they are constantly changing. For example, there is something called a "fir wave" where waves of fir trees die and are replaced with other trees

A friend of mine had a 10 acre field in Vermont with bad soil. He did not mow it for a few years and the trees just took over. It took him years and a lot of hard work to clear it back to a field. Certainly in Vermont, the forests are vora

Some of the leading vaccines present their own logistical challenges. Some of the leading vaccines (Moderna, Pfizer) are quite fragile and are hard to transport and store. Moderna needs to be shipped and stored at -20C (-4F) this is trick

There is no compelling evidence proving that the disease cannot spike in NYC. There are small hints that it MIGHT not be possible. The antibody tests measured the infection rate around April 15 or so, the number should be higher now. Secon

That ruffed grouse video is great but does not really do justice to how startling that sound can be. Imagine walking through the woods, no one around, and all of a sudden it sounds like a lawn mower starting up very close to you. It is un

I agree that the goals seem to have changed. We have never contained a widespread respiratory virus without a vaccine and the fastest vaccine ever developed was Mumps and that took 4 years. I guess the best hope now is that by slowing it

This also came out today. http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/phcommon/public/media/media... We really have no idea what the IFR is, just that is probably in the .1% to 1% range. Also, it takes around 2 weeks t

SAT scores is heavily correlated with income level (the data I have is for the standard tests, not the subject ones, but I would guess they follow a similar pattern). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280232788_R

Pretty impressive stuff. The fraudsters are very sophisticated. I never would have thought BGP hijacking would be used for ad fraud

This is not a new problem. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote in "Democracy in America" in 1835: "It is evident that such a legislation is hostile to the poor and favorable only to the rich. The poor man has not always security to

I have worked for a number of ad tech companies over the years. If this really is happening (and it seems possible it could be coincidence) the most likely explanation is cross device targeting using IP address. So, most ad tech companies d
