Yeah, race to the bottom. Fraud in online advertising estimated to be tens of billions USD yearly, so brands require more and more "brand safety" and "measurements", each ad calls, like, 4 different vendors calculating s

I know a bit about modern ad-tech. Ads absolutely need networking capabilities, for tracking stuff like "viewability", or "anti-fraud, brand safety and independent measurement" by some third-party provider. In fact, you

Good point! Thank you. PS: Also, I wonder what other sites could be affected. Requirement is "user spending a lot of time on a page", so maybe blogging services with long posts, or shady sites with online sports broadcasts. Ugh, a

I don't know anything about JS-based cryptomining, but I wonder if you can't stop such ads without breaking 90% of legit ads. I mean, it's all probably boils down to number-crunching? So DSL you are envisioning should block r

Yeah, this is unfortunate situation. And getting back to Damore memo -- from what I know about large european IT companies (and I do know something), if such memo was published on some intranet in, say, Netherlands or Denmark, you will end

Russian trolls aside, millions of people voluntary and completely for free (as a beer) spent much more time kvetching about politics in 2016 then in 2012 or 2008. There should be a reason for it. In Western Europe the amount of kvetching is

People in this thread are trying to come up with some HR policies which can help mitigate the problem, such as "never discuss politics at work", but that, in turn, means not talking about presidential elections which were, objecti

I did. Doing "buy and hold" or even riding FANG`s on some margin requires mostly discipline, and it's already hard for a lot of people. Consistently profitable options trading while managing risk so it won't blow up one

>should not be able to take the same risks as those of “accredited investors”? I would say yes. Well, he should be able, if he wants, but is it good for him, really? For example, options trading is useful for hedging large positions in s

Good plan, but it requires a counterparty who will happily assume a long BTC position when you are shorting the hell out of futures around 17-19K USD per btc. Normally, in commodities world, players who are on the other side of speculators

Well, consider TSLA, one of the most shorted stocks of last years. I don't think that Tesla short-sellers are deliberately hiding some information from investors. Jim Chanos, the most famous TSLA seller, is very open why, in his opinio

according to reuters, "Bitcoin extends slide to trade down 18 percent on day at $11,191 on Bitstamp Exchange, on track for biggest one-day fall in three years" - so, pretty significant move.

Microsoft started doing ads in Windows 10 and, more importantly, they have bought LinkedIn. One of the most obvious ways to monetize it, other than paid services of course, is to deliver highly targeted ads. They know your age, your occupat

Under gold standard, debt = savings, correct. But with government fiat, I not sure thats the case. Fed bought what, billions of USG debt, without saving this money first, they just printed it. Its not like they earned that money and instead

+8.79% AMD & -4.44% INTC does not look like a semi-random event anymore. Seems like wider audience is waking up to the news.

All their tests are CPU-bound, not IO-bound, namely -- archiving, rendering, encoding video. Performance degradation happens with transactional, IO-bound tasks (think noSQL databases, ad serving, trading)

All labor which could be done by people in, say, Vietnam or Laos, has value below the required amount to exist as a human in USA. So, more and more of it.

Solvency risk is not the only reason for a positive interest rate. Let's say that US Government borrows $10 000 from you, for 1 year. This means that you cant spend this 10k next year by investing them into some new cool company or jus

2 weeks is actually very small amount of time. The route needs to be established once, and pareto principle applies - with 20% of effort 80% of goods will be moved in self-driving trucks.
