Very strange that you consider ads based on geography as fine. That's the one I am most concerned about, primarily with political and PR-focused advertising which are often heavily geographic based. I care extremely little about "

Dialup speeds is free, but if you want to taste those megabytes, you better fork over those megabucks.

It needs a graph over time. It seems like it's going exponential based on HN headlines.

If we're coming up with brick and mortar analogies, it's got to be grocery stores and generic branded items. Kraft Mac vs Great Value. It's hard for me to say Amazon shouldn't be able to do it while every grocery store c

Similar story here but possibly a bit more fun. New VP came in and less than 6 months later demanded the org switch to some proprietary (expensive) agile methodology that had some theory that orgs with more than like 150 people are too big

IANAL and also have no experience in this, but there is such a thing as patent and IP insurance. Both offensive and defensive. I am sure there are also companies that can perform code audits to find potential infringements early at varying

This is the area I am most interested in. I have personal experience where every member of my division (~25-30 people, including my manager) was laid off and received severance. I was deemed too important and should stick around the empty o

This was my favorite area of study when going for my PhD in EE. I decided to drop out for unrelated reasons and went into software eng. I tried to find some gigs that would allow me to pursue this + software, but convenience always won out

Just for FIY: First layer BTC takes 7 minutes, but lightning network (2nd layer) takes a couple of seconds. There are a handful of other cryptos with sub-second transaction speed. It's honestly pretty impressive for such fast consisten

Now you've got me wondering, what kind of technical expertise do different insurance companies possess to understand risk in these niche industries? Insuring Viasat's Visasat-3 for example. How do you quote for something like that

Really? In my mind that would be the most difficult. The simplest is telling a non-tech person to install a shady app, approve a bunch of permissions, and ask them to input even more information directly. The phone being hot can just be the

Not OP but I may have experienced what they are describing. I saw a contractor on Google maps and made an inquiry for some work. They basically just forwarded my request to other, actual contractors, likely with the intention of taking a cu

Thanks! I will probably just stick with Keepass but this was a nice write-up to consider. 1) I have my database replicated several places already. Cloud storage, mobile, FTP server, etc. 2) I don't use a browser extension on desktop, b

I'd suggest calling it the big foot dimension.

What exactly is Bitwarden getting you if you're doing this copy process? I have only used Keepass and haven't read why Bitwarden would be superior for some scenarios over what I am already doing.

This was just CA. There was a similar lawsuit by other states last year settled for $300-400 million.

I'm also curious about regional ads. All this talk about topics, etc. is mostly a non-issue for me, but what is the current state about ip/location/regionalized ads? Is this already off the table because the website gets my I

My hot take may be 100% wrong. Thanks!

Maybe, but I'll suggest an alternative view that's probably unpopular: big ad companies walk a fine line between what knowledge they can share even from _inside_ the same company. Ad sellers cannot have perfect information for pro

by havnagiggle 3y ago
Because they don't know if you bought it or not. They are gambling that you didn't and are trying to capture a sale for the ad buyer. Presumably that is somewhat effective since it's so common.

Pretty sure Bitcoin mining has been ASIC dominated for ~8 years now. Maybe you could point at Eth which only just recently moved away from being GPU heavy.

My setup is similar. +1 that Restic is great. My cloud backup was sending blobs to Google workspace, but they have clamped on storage. I will be replacing that with another box at my parents that will be tucked out of the way. I will just h
