Easy to throw over a cart when you have no stake. Why dont you build a better model then replace it? A lot of jobs depend on ads, dont shit all over people :)

I make around 20 per thousand visitors, it helps pay for a pt dev, pt designer, and small team. Where is wasted time? Do you find yourself mesmerized by ads and find yourself staring at them for hours :)?

I run a website, most people do not want to pay directly. Ads allow it to grow and help more people. Ads are showing relevant items people want/need. Who are you to tell others what they need? There is no manipulation, that is such a w

Billboards dont pay for roads. Ads pay for websites.

Meh. Not really seeing a 1 day bet change being that important.

1 quarter... i just find this perplexing given the short term focus. If it was a trend maybe 3 or 4 quarters indicate something. This is nothing.

I don't believe that for a second, do you really think that is what these numbers show?

I don't understand, it was down 7% today, that is no big deal in the grand scheme of things. Over the next 5 years do you think this matters at all to Google given their domination in so many areas? IE, why is this story on the front p

Which is normal for an economic slow down right? Ad market always gets hit first?

This seems like a bit of a non-story in some ways. Their revenue was up slightly YOY, and after that crazy huge quarter and the economic slow down this seems like a non-deal.

Timing the market is luck :) If you want to be wealthy stay in it and wait 30, 40, or 50 years. It isn't a get rich quick scheme.

God, I hope this works; I do tire of the silly CAPTCHA test. I def get hit with it a lot more from outside the USA than within.

Yes you can, but also i dont think it matters that much. Might it in the future? We shall see. But right now it sounds like the village chicken littles worrying that the only bakery in town might close…

Use a VPN?

by bwb 4y ago
Ah, gotcha, but why just not use them for most of those things if you don't want to? I don't get it. Use Firefox, use your ISP DNS or CF or another service, use Apple TV or Amazon TV, use an iPhone, and don't automate your do

I love CloudFlare; why does anyone not like them? There services are freaking amazing and their tech continues to blow me away!

thanks, it's a really fun project! I launched it on HN in April 2021 :) All the topics are hooked into Wikidata on the ML side, eventually I want to build knowledge graphs using the Wikidata info and play with historical timelines etc

No worries, I just was kinda stunned you would imply I had any motive to not share something accurate. It was a convo I had this morning with an author who is a friend. (It it is just one piece of data, and people are good at finding data t

Serious? It is entirely true, why would I share that otherwise? I've been on HN for a long time, see my background :) Your account is totally blank and joined in 2021. You also submitted an article about rethinking app development at F
