Precisely. My anecdote is little comfort to a platform looking to extract value from its users by targeting ads at them. But it's better than nothing. At least I'm sticking around for the opportunity for them to someday extract value from m

Well, I don't hold it, so I have not done the research and am speaking from a place of ignorance investment-wise. But I am very interested in tech, and looking at Yahoo! in a broad sense I think they need to shift their focus from short ter

I agree with this. I think the hardest part of learning a new skill is starting out. Working on a concrete problem provides a positive feedback loop that keeps you engaged, learning, and moving foreword. But that doesn't mean you should ski
