That sounds a lot like upwork though. Or are you building the Uber of freelance work, in which you maintain a pool of vetted freelancers?

The self-righteous people should be alarmed by this: this means facebook will be hiring even worse scum and do more evil things. Save the world from evil facebook, go work for them.

... not really innovating? its main product is still centered in social signaling and gossip ... just like day 1. Also the social craze is not so crazy anymore (I wonder, how are the other social apps doing?)

Tbh most of it is wordpress, and that is not terribly inefficient.

Yes, that is the reason why i chose to write stuff in it (also because i knew it relatively well). PHP has not been fancy for 15 years now , which is a good thing if you have more interesting things to do rather than refactoring your old we

> Is performance that much of a big deal for most people? For most people outside VC-funded startups, yes it is. It is also an environmental concern, imagine if 80% of the web was running on ruby.

Interesting. However this article claims that the reason for the jump is the 2010 decision to allow unlimited political spending. And lets remember that in the US the biggest spenders ddid not win. https://www.google.gr/amp&

the market shows that ad spending overall has not increased during the transition to the digital age. It has shifted from traditional to digital, but overall businesses spend the same amounts on advertising as in the past.

how is that related to targeted ads?

by return1 7y ago
Advertising a painkiller in a hospital is also targeted advertising. The question is whether digital is somehow dangerously more effective than other forms (which are ostensibly considered "safe"). I m not surprised by your data p

Ad spending as percentage of gdp has not changed in at least a century. So i m not sure if these new media are any more effective than any other media. I honestly am baffled at the lack of scientific research of the effectiveness of advert

sounds like what taxicab companies have been doing for centuries.the question is what growth prospects uber has in a market that is already saturated and fighting for the bottom line, as there is little barrier for a new entrant.

There are a bunch of taxi apps in markets where uber is not allowed to enter and they are doing quite well too. This means thay if drivers are not happy with uber s pay, they can group together to creat their own gig. Users seem to go with

Imho ergonomic keyboards are not much better. They are hard to learn and you get confused as soon as you use someone else’s computer, plus they have annoying features like a tiny Esc key. I think overall a gaming / mechanical keyboard

Browsers make it easy to remember logins/passwords across devices. Also, privacy concerns and the possibility that they might even be closed one day make one wonder if you should include social login at all. Those were useful during fb
