Yes, of course, because it's two products bundled as one. You're charging for ad space in addition to a service where you track your visitors individually and build profiles about them. But obviously many people continue to make m

We are specifically talking about individual-level tracking in this conversation. You can also track the efficacy of an ad by, for example, placing a special link in the ad and watching how many people use that link, but that's a compl

> Ad revenue depends on tracking No it doesn't. Surveillance revenue depends on tracking, but people have profitably sold ad space for hundreds of years without any tracking.

This is interesting and intuitively makes sense, although the actual study does not seem to be available and was paid for by an unspecified client.

Yes, presumably that is intentional by the tax industry lobbyists. You Google "what is my agi" and the first result is from TurboTax, you try to read that but keep getting distracted by all the big buttons that say FREE, so you cl

Yeah that suggestion is terrible. Really not looking forward to seeing this kind of writing everywhere.

People who live paycheck to paycheck are very good at budgeting because they have to do it to survive, they don't need any more pressure. If anything it's richer people that could use a little prodding, but either way we don'

Why not both? We're also putting rooftop solar on the Pentagon: https://www.energy.gov/articles/biden-harris-administration-... .

But it's been almost 10 years since the claim and there is still no evidence. How long do we have to wait?

That makes sense. I was thinking that its altitude sensor might have been miscalibrated or confused, so it hadn't yet reached the ground when it thought it had.

Why do you think nothing will be done? You aren't required to stop a project just because you've identified a single negative impact. If you can't trust your government to make good decisions even when presented with all the

It also looked like it went below 0 altitude? I had it muted so not sure if that was expected or not, but seemed like it might have touched down too fast.

No, there are also mid-size and large-scale family farms. Many of those are owned by corporations, but that corporation is owned by a single family so it counts as a family farm. "Small" is defined as gross income of $250,000 or l
