On the other hand, why is someone like you better than someone who gets a visa to be a tourist guide at a ranch? If the visa requirements say you need a degree or 12 years of experience then that should be the requirement, but I don't

Yes and that will screw up the advertiser's stats, but in terms of tracking you actually give more third parties access to your data. All they need to track you is either access to your device (by serving you code, or saving data in it

In addition to psykovsky's comment, the ad network is not the only player in this space (or the one you should be more concerned about) When you see and click on an ad, you might be also getting tracked by DSP / retargeter /

Finally a mail app that allows me to show how busy and important I am by sending an automated reply to Paul Graham. Next up: "Tell Zuck I can't make his birthday party" I thought it was a joke product too.

I don't understand this, they say it prevents tracking but, actually, this helps ad companies track you since they will now know you will click their ads whenever you are visiting a certain site. With ad blockers that prevent the HTTP

My good friend owns one of those places, his girls all either book a taxi or get picked up by their partners. As an attractive girl, you do not want to be walking / taking public transport in certain areas of town at 6am, it's a s

Hotels, food, drink and other necessities for the 1000 party-goers, plus hiring local staff to run the event. Bud light is not really going to support you for three days straight.

They used to have lots more stuff in their private API; such as the driver's full name, home address and phone number. Probably careless API design.

For England that might be true, but in London you should expect around £65k+ for senior dev roles. I'm sure you could negotiate up to £90k given the right circumstances.

That's a very low wage for a skilled software engineer though.

Xamarin / Mono and Unity run pretty much everywhere. Unity even runs on WebGL, none of this is tied to windows stacks. Also, Microsoft has a great startup programme with Bizspark, we built a company on it a few years ago that eventuall

How is .NET losing relevance? You can make mobile apps with Xamarin, and apps for any desktop OS thanks to Mono. You can make high-quality 2D/3D games with Unity You can make high-performance web applications with ASP.NET + IIS.

Because he didn't have the password, he had a hash of the password. So if the auth system wouldn't have let him login directly with the hash by changing his cookie, he wouldn't have been able to login as an admin.

It's actually been there since the very beginning, but it wasn't publicised too much.

You've been able to target professions as interests for a very long time, but it wasn't obvious in the UI, glad it helped :) And yeah, I imagine some countries will be under-represented, sadly

Just in case someone else thinks of doing this; it's totally against the Facebook Ad Guidelines There's other ways of doing exactly that which maintain user privacy and are within the guidelines though.

by mpeg 13y ago
I don't know if you're doing it already, but in the interest targeting you can include professions too and it will target people who have it set to their "work" on FB; plus adding hospitals to workplace targeting you can

Not really, I used to work at one of the main Facebook SPMDs so I'm saying that out of having seen the performance of mobile app campaigns on advertisers that spend $100k+ a day on fb. I don't see why you would be hated by your us

Ads that direct to web on mobile just don't perform as well

Yes, they do. CTR and CPI on mobile app ads on FB used is still among the best performing.

Or even better, a mobile app install ad on mobile and a FB app ad on desktop. I'd love to see one of these experiments that isn't trying to get website signups / sales which is something FB is notoriously bad for. I spent a f

In all honesty, I don't see who would use a service like this apart from very small time advertisers, but It'd be interesting in knowing how you piece together the reports, is it automated?

Why? Do Google or Facebook engineers live in a magical world in which they need to know off the top of their heads the big-O complexity of every possible sort function ever mentioned in an academic paper? I see this argument used time and t

That doesn't get you promotions either. It just makes you the go-to person for everyone to sort their stuff out. If you want a promotion, move companies - it's a safer bet.

But then people might come interrupt you during your desk lunch; if the issue is interruptions you can always grab a meeting room for yourself and go work in there for an hour or two. Break areas work fine for that too if your office has th
