forget finger pricks, can't something automatically detect a vein, position and insert the needle right vs. the clumsy prodding and guesswork that's the norm currently?

I work at an advertiser. Most so called "viral" ads we've researched involve significant levels of paid impressions before they got to a "viralable" level. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Also it&#x2

You've pretty pretty much articulated one of the reasons for existence of ad tech industry. Inventory on the web is highly fragmented and ad sales one small site at a time is not really scalable for anyone to make a living out of. Henc

That's called TV. Cost per reach point on TV is a lot lower than the internet which charges advertisers extra for "targeting" Can be done... rates would have to go down below TV to work and even so will be attractive only for

The TV Industry by and large cannot survive without funding by advertisers. Check the P&L of any channel. Without ads, you'd be paying a lot more - or in other words, the content wouldn't exist because of lack of market

Very simple, there's a couple of orders of magnitude greater number of developers and designers who have skill with web technologies than native UI. Similarly there's a couple of orders of magnitude more options of UI frameworks a

Actually I find the consistency and simplicity of using well established, widely supported and rich third party ecosystem available with using HTML5/CSS/JS based UI very liberating vs. the incompatible mess of native UIs. Personal

Honest question: Why would you use cheques instead of bank transfer? Isn't that cheaper all the way around? I live in India and practically haven't seen any company use cheques for payment in the last few years.

Agree. In my company it is practically impossible to change vendor account details without going through a lot of process and paper work. Suggests controls in these tech companies are surprisingly poor.

In marketing research, the normal approach tends to use sociology type research to generate hypothesis and ideas which you then either test quantitatively with rigor or through in market testing. Sometimes, if the narrative research is conv

yes scaled ratings do tend to have subjectivity which in practice we normalize by databasing surveys over time for categories x markets. The reason online ratings tend to be bimodal is because the respondents are self selecting sample rathe

you realize if you piss off anyone doing this, they can have you sent to jail right? Automated scraping is unlikely to qualify as fair use in court. As far as I know, only Japan has laws.that allow scraping without explicit permission.

Unfortunately, ads pay for a lot of web content just like they pay for most TV content. The 5% (of which pretty much all of HN is a part of) can probably afford to pay for the cost of creating that content. The 95%, consisting of not just
