Curious if you can share some examples of this bad advice?

Sorry for the late response. I think it very much depends on the team that you're on and if you have good technical mentorship or not. For me it was very challenging - I had to pick up a brand new set of skills, and the on call hours w

I like fountain pens for drawing with. They all have their character. If it fits well in the hand, the ink flows well, and the nib has some variance, then I would put any chubby pen in the rotation.

I have four months of devops experience 5 years ago that I have listed on my LinkedIn profile. I went on to do other things. DevOps recruiters will not leave me alone, and many positions appear to be 6 month contracts. My advice is to place

I think he sold a fair amount of it today. As for proselytizing, I'm pretty sure his initial position was met with ridicule.

"The problem with physical reality is that you first have to buy before you can sell and the sell date may lie very far into the future. " In practice though we have things like net90 payment terms.

Seems incredibly expensive... who buys these?

I saw a nice synopsis from a finance person on reddit on why the analogy to the mortgage issue is way off the mark, but I doubt I can find it again. My point is that there's a whole burgeoning industry in whining about how ad companies

To some extent yes, but I think he's better than a troll, because IMO there is value in what he's doing, despite the hyperbole.

Cool, I hear ya and I agree, I wish there was more nuanced discussion on these topics rather than just "hodl, numbers go up." It seems to me like you've found an interesting way to play in an adversarial space by selling shov

I think calling attention to issues with ad tech is good, that's where my 1/10 score comes from.

With all due respect, I think you're off on point C. There are a plenty of vulnerabilities as a result of code issues. Look at the great work that Trail Of Bits (no affiliation) has done in this space and you will see some great examp

This book is the laughing stock of ad tech right now, it's got some good ideas, but it's 90% sensationalized and half-baked. The mortgage analogy is weak as well. This book is a money grab more than anything. It's an attempt

Distilling it down into "any particular advertising campaign" is pretty myopic in this world. It's about strategy as a whole over decades. Not every ad campaign is to drive immediate sales or signups (direct response). Brandi

How do you audit the security of your contracts?

Well yeah, exactly, you're not a bag holder until it's a bag of something worthless.
227.
by doopy1 6y ago
Yes it does change that. If you can sell something for $29K you're not bag holding...

by doopy1 6y ago
Bag-holder usually has the connotation of holding a worthless asset, bitcoin is currently at an all time high.

I can agree with you to some extent, but the conversation on taxing the wealthy seems like a red herring if it does nothing to solve any of the major problems we face, so let's talk about both things at once instead of just posting twe

Who cares? Say he pays 50% in taxes on his 200 Billion in amazon shares. That's a drop in the bucket. I mean the US spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on military/defense. How about instead of whining about people using their

Correct. It costs's a lot to hire a new employee. I'd say for a small/medium size company hiring an engineer in the 100k-200k range, the cost of hiring is easily at least 6 months of that person's salary if not more.

I mean if you're demanding you're kind of committing a crime. It's actually pretty nice of FB to reward this stuff, and along with the clout come career opportunities worth much more than $7.5k.

Advertiser only pay for clicks when it comes to search ads, but there's a whole other world of display advertising. Marketers run campaigns with different strategies, direct response, sales, etc. 99% of ads are bought and sold on views

by doopy1 6y ago
That won't work. Clicks are not the currency of digital ads, if everyone does this, it's an easy baseline to account for and eliminate the noise. It's a "cute" idea though that's not even a little bit disruptiv

It's impossible to get rid of fingerprinting, better to punish when it's actually abused.

Every time I come across a book I might want to read I add it to my amazon shopping list. When it's time to read a new book, first I check which titles the library has a kindle loan available for. If none, I go in order of cheapest fir
