A similar Intercept article was posted on HN a while back, and got limited discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31127965 As much as HN hates advertising, so many seem ignorant of how much of the ecosystem works.

You can visit a gaseous diffusion site outside of Oak Ridge, TN at a new, albeit small, museum: https://amse.org/k-25-history-center/ Much of the infrastructure has been leveled, but there are a few remnants. Site sele

Their discoverability was awful. What about how AliExpress' search works? The first few listings will be prior viewed items, typically wildly unrelated to the current search-- just remarketing ads based on products visited. Then the th

Gary Illyes and John Mueller (other prominent Google liaisons) are also kind of standoffish. Ginny Marvin is another SEland hire, but isn't as mean spirited, but is still as limited in how helpful responses are. John and Gary commonly

How much of this ties to enhanced CPC bidding (enabled by default, pushed by account reps as a must have)? It allows your bids to exceed your maximum CPC in scenarios that Google defines-- which, so it seems, are likely scenarios that Googl

I have a p1g4 with W10 and it doesn't sleep correctly, either. Hibernate works, but the fans spin in sleep and it will try to cook itself in my backpack.

In my 20 year old luxo-barge car (see: a once large vehicle, average/small by today's standards), I am frequently at eye level with wheel wells and the hood is 2ft+ taller than my roofline on stock trucks. Combine that with the we

Google has done the exact same thing with Google Search Partners for 15+ years. They never disclose who these search partners are, but are opted-in by default. Their performance is always around 5-10% of Google Search-- because they are r

If the goals for all parties are the same, yes. Google is optimizing for their own fill rates and ePM, _then_ the advertiser's CPA/goals. If there are 100 equally valued conversions for $10 and 500 for $40, you would want all $10
