There are many sites who have taken this approach. The Deck is a great example. Also StackOverflow, reddit, etc.

I definitely understand that perspective - and to be clear there are good ad providers out there, we just haven't been winning the war in our own industry. I don't think a pinky swear would work either, but I think if the browsers

Here are my thoughts from the ad industry side: http://adexchanger.com/data-driven-thinking/ad-blocking-will... I think there is a chance to make it better, ad blocking is not yet maintsteam and I think there is a room

I wrote this piece so happy to answer any questions - also love to hear any suggestions or thoughts from people running ad block.

Impact can be measured and quality impressions are still worth a decent CPM. Search advertising is also still very effective, as is online video.

Because there is no proof that your assumption is true - people tend to believe they aren't affected by advertising when they actually are. There is plenty of science out there to show the effectiveness of advertising, even if you neve

If it's something you are really looking for I am not sure you would bounce so quickly. What if it's the answer to a bug you are trying to solve? Or a video on how to fix a problem with your car? Plenty of content is valuable and

This is not completely accurate - most ad blockers include both request blocking as well as content blocking. For instance it might not be able to block a sponsored tweet since it is returned with all of the other tweets, but it can hide th

I am curious about the custom clothes made in China, how much are they and how often does he have to buy them to never have to do laundry.

Two reasons. 1. Because they always have. The precedence was set a long time ago. 2. Because Apple doesn't give a fuck what other people think.

Why would hardware companies not just build their own operating system?

I have no clue what this is but I am shocked and appalled that Google would shut it down.

It's just an image - so not as functional. ;)

I highly recommend the book Masters of Doom. Great writing and such a great story.

We routinely pummel Datadog with massive amounts of data from hundreds of hosts and it does an amazing job of showing us the data we need and alerting us when something is wrong. Highly recommended.

Doesn't Lighter Capital do this? Or other royalty based investments?

It is pretty reliable, but we also have alerts to let us know if there are problems and support staff work out times to be available.

I phrased it poorly - we get off the week around the holidays as the company closes down. I also take probably another week off for random days here or there.

by javery 12y ago
We also close between Christmas Eve and January 2nd so that is a another week that is mandatory off for everyone. I meant 2-3 weeks in a row. Last year I took off 10 days to go to Europe, then another 2 weeks in the summer. Plus the random

We have an unlimited vacation policy at Adzerk and I try to lead by example by taking at least 2-3 weeks off a year (especially in the summer). We also try to encourage everyone to take at least one solid week off a year and it seems to wor

It is one big rant - as someone who has ridden with Uber dozens of times in 4 cities I have never had someone who I couldn't understand.

I routinely buy domains I don't use - not to be a squatter but my imagination gets away from me. I imagine most HNers have dozens of domains they don't use. Someone emailed me recently for a pretty good one and offered $500, I cou

The most interesting things to me is that Campfire was around before this and Hipchat before that. It goes to show that execution is everything, Slack has completely crushed it from a feature and integration standpoint and the polish is ama

They go where you went Oren - they end up running their own company or running a group of devs or a product inside of a larger company.
