   Taboola is used by USA Today, NBC, Business Insider, MSN, Yahoo, Bloomberg, CBS News, ABC News, and more. Also, I wouldn't call Taboola revenue minor. You also have to understand that half of our customers are advertisers, not just rea

   NPR is very biased: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/business/media/npr-critic... And to be honest, I don't think most of these things are terrible per se, albeit mildly annoying. Also, I don

   As a developer who works for one of these news publishers you have little sympathy for, what I can tell you is that: 1) Most people don't want to pay for news. Even $1/year is too high. 2) Ad CPMs are low—especially on iOS thanks

   That all makes a lot of sense, and yes your assumption is correct regarding my username. I’m glad to have corrected this behavior of mine before it got too late.

   I had said: “This isn't to say that going to the dentist for regular cleanings isn't worth it, but maybe it isn't as required for some people as we think granted they keep up with a regular at home regimen?” My point is that

   Did you know that "some people" has no bearing on "people in general"? Like I said, we agree about this, but you still want to argue? I feel like you're here to argue about semantics and not what we're actually

   Nope, I didn't realize that. Thank you for informing me. You are so wise. Next time maybe try engaging with the actual topic of the conversation? Like how some people are more or less prone to cavities and why that might be biologicall

   I have a friend like that and I didn't have the heart to tell him. Coming from your perspective, how did someone telling you that feel?

    We agree about all that, so what's your contribution to the conversation exactly?

    This is sort of embarrassing to admit publicly, but I had a fear of going to the dentist for several years and decided to go recently. After a 10 year hiatus, I was shocked to learn that I didn't have a single cavity or any other appar

    As an iOS developer, this excites me! It seems like it will open up the market for new app development opportunities, which is a great thing indeed!

    $1k just ain't what it used to be. My wife and I just spent $5k on a sectional from West Elm a year ago and the fabric is already starting to pill.

    I concede that I'm grateful that we have option at our discretion. Hopefully such a law would make that compulsory.

    I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and raise a problem with that: Meta is under US jurisdiction and Chinese owned companies are not. We have no way to enforce our laws if our data passes through their networks. We see

    I think what I'm suggesting is more along the lines of regulatory bodies working with OEMs to determine a set of physical battery and software standards that are shared across all vehicles in the market. The goal of these standards bei

    Something I think we're missing the mark on with the EV transition is not taking the opportunity to make EV batteries more generic, which would make them cheaper to replace. Imagine who's going to take the time and money to replac

    Something that's always confused me in contemporary American discourse is that it's "white flight" when white people move out and "gentrification" when white people move back in. Can someone help me grok this?

    I work on an app that's over a decade old, and there's a fair mix of Objective C and Swift. While we tend to add less new Obj C, we don't go out of our way to replace old Obj C with new Swift if the old code is working. If i

    Precisely, and Apple have implemented the law in good-faith by reducing service in their own product offering to make things equal, as the law requires them to do so. Ergo, be careful what you wish for, because it might come true.
