I use the wild blueberries (smaller) for better texture, and usually just let them sit for ~5 mins and they defrost pretty quickly!

I met him at a factory tour that we did outside of Portland. He was so humble and just seemed like a lovely human. A highlight that brings me joy every time I eat his museli for breakfast (70g museli, 70g frozen blueberries, 170g whole milk

This is definitely the correct take. Bing isn't the worry, it's Apple building something that users won't switch away from (see Apple Maps).

The point is that housing costs would have gone up more if that housing wasn't built, not that some amount of built housing automatically means prices grow slower than inflation.

It’s the closest real mountains to the east coast, so it catches all the outdoorsy & liberal types that want to move west but stay connected back east.

This is an under-discussed point, at least from my biased opinion. It seems like the Python documentation ecosystem is the best, and has been building fantastic tooling for over 10 years now.

I’d be curious to hear more about your experience with carbon. In particular, what a competitor could do better to make it work :-) We’re building something[1] and we like to think we have our targeting figured out a lot more effectively, a

Great explanation! Useful and neat walkthrough of how it’s put together. Looks similar to https://sphinxcontribdatatemplates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/... Might have some neat ideas on how to make it an abstraction

Glad to see other folks investing in ethical advertising. It's something we've been working on for a long time over at https://ethicalads.io/ -- and it's an important step forward in improving how ads are ser

Interestingly, we’ve had a bunch of fraud where people impersonate OSS devs. They then proxy their docs, and try to run fake traffic for ad revenue. More info in our blog post: https://www.ethicalads.io/blog/2022/0

We don't have a full list, but each of our audience pages shows some of our top publishers: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertisers/#audiences We generally charge our listed CPM, but if you narrow down the targeting

Great, thanks! https://ads-for-open-source.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ is our default exclude list for OSS sustainability ads.

Thanks for the kind words (and being real with some of the unkind words :D). To answer your questions: * CPM ads work well for us, because we make a set amount, and places the burden of having good targeting & ads on the buyer. With CPC

Thanks :) We don't currently plan to expand our audience. There's still a lot of growth in the dev market we're hoping to achieve. That said, we are looking at selling our product as a SaaS for other folks ( https:/&#x2F

Crazy how? In the past we have done some CPC campaigns, but it leaves the risk of a poorly performing ad on us, instead of the advertiser. With CPM, we make the same amount for our inventory, but advertisers with great ads benefit with a hi

We definitely get a lot more than that for US developers (pricing here: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertisers/#pricing ). The CPM is averaged across all the traffic in the network, as most sites have traffic from eg. Po

Definitely true. Hopefully the folks who have the skillset to build a large OSS project, and build a network of fake traffic, would find other ways to spend their time with a higher return on investment than a 30% increment of their revenue

Sure -- it's a neat story. Happy to share it.. Digs through some emails Looks like it was 2015. We did a fundraising campaign on our site (wrapup blog post here: https://blog.readthedocs.com/fundraising-wrapup/ )

Fraud detection is definitely something that is a struggle in the overall industry. We have a couple benefits that make it easier for us. First, is that we hand-approve publishers, so that we are able to tell if they are a legit project or

We do support publishers using an API directly, and running none of our code. Our ad client is also open source, and pretty simple: https://github.com/readthedocs/ethical-ad-client -- we have publishers who use a publi

Thanks -- We actually maintain an exclude list of OSS ads that you can use with your ad blocker of choice: https://ads-for-open-source.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.h... Of note, we do run our own javascript cl
