In my anecdotal experience, FB is using non-logged in google search results to select which ad to show you. I assume google sells those to FB, based on IP address. But, my YouTube and Google search and ads, whole logged in, are based on wha

Yeah, this got me: > RESOURCE MINIMALISM. rawtext.club runs on a tiny cloud-based VPS with 1 GB of memory and a 25 GB disk. Nothing "tiny" about this!

Minto pyramid is really interesting to me because, although I had never heard of it before, I tend to read articles from the end for this exact effect. I also studied math this way, trying to do the exercises, looking at the answers and thr

Yes I remember, but this was a different world, it was a world without reputation networks, without ip black lists, with SPF/DKIM. There is not reason at all to suspect that a message from a small server with proper SPF and DKIM that h
