I really wish Signal had stable voice and video calls before it added this blockchain thing.

I don't understand what can be so hard about "supporting" more countries? It's the internet. Anyone can access your servers. International credit card charging was invent decades ago. Take my money.

I wish it was that easy. I'm also using Cookie Auto Delete and uBlock Origin, but remember that many of the tools you are agreeing to use fingerprinting, meaning that even if you delete their cookies they'll keep tracking you arou

I think the parent post was talking about the Israeli market. There is no Privacy.com, Revolut etc in Israel.

That still doesn't mean that starting a bank in the US is harder (or at least as hard) than it is elsewhere, right? Or maybe that person owned banks all around the world? From reading a little online, it sounds way easier to start a ba

To me it sounds like you're proving the exact opposite. I'd assume most car owners never need to change a fan belt themselves, while everyone who uses git daily needed at some point to revert a commit. "How to turn right&quot

I don't know how people read anymore. I just mentioned that saying "This privileged crypto-colonialism almost exclusively benefits white men" does not contradict with saying Bitcoin is mined in China, like the parent commen

by yoavm 6y ago
I never said mining Bitcoins was dangerous. Only that it makes a lot of sense that Bitcoin miners are usually not those who get rich from Bitcoin.
761.
by yoavm 6y ago
That might be true, but the statement from the article still stands. Those who mine bitcoins (using their computers) are probably not those getting rich of it.

I know nothing about who benefits from Bitcoin or where is it being mined, but isn't it plausible that group A is benefiting from asset X, while group B is mining it? If I'm not mistaken, that was the case with mining since pretty

I keep seeing statements both like "most electricity used to mine Bitcoin comes from fossil fuels" and like "Bitcoin is using 75% renewables". It seems like people just choose those that fits their agenda. I assume there

I just tried this last week and wrote this tiny Userscript that redirect Youtube videos to their .mp4 source file, so nothing is actually loaded except the video itself. No ads, no "watch next!", no related movies, no comments.

What exactly do you find misleading about the quote? Aren't the most common ways to integrate a tool to your website either pasting some JS snippet or using a tool GTM, Tealium or Segment? What are more common ways to integrate third-p

Could you please let me know what URL you're testing? Either here or email me to yoav at zaraz dot com. We're generating almost one report per second for two days now, I can assure you that 99% of them are accurate :)

Segment is great but speed really isn't where it shines. In fact, like GTM, it often adds (a lot) to how slow the website is. CDP and Tag Management software serve one static file to all your visitors, meaning that adding a tool just f

That's actually something we did notice a couple of times! Depending your audience, ad-blockers could be causing your data to be missing a significant amount of your visitors. With Zaraz loading those tools on "Cloud Load", i

Good point - by default Google Lighthouse is aiming at the 85th percentile of mobile connection speed, meaning you can ignore these metrics because you have a faster connection or device, but they are still true for ~15% of your mobile traf

Cool to hear from someone who worked at Yottaa! We have seen that solution before, but it seemed like it's mostly timing your third-parties to be loaded with some delay? So more like optimizing when to load a script, but still loading

Can you share the URL you're testing? I'd be keen to take a look.

by yoavm 6y ago
Thank you! For Google Ads we use "Cloud Render", meaning we construct the GET requests on our backend and then give the final URL to the browser to execute. Prebid is indeed not supported yet, but we do support all the other tools

We don't have access to the internals of these system obviously, but we've worked very very closely with some of our customers to make sure nothing weird is happening after switching. It previously required a lot of fine-tuning, n

It's nothing special really - we run Lighthouse twice (as a GCP Function) on the URL, and using Puppeteer we simply block third-party scripts from loading on one of the runs. Then we compare the results. While this isn't technical

Honestly this currently isn't on our roadmap, but we are planning to allow people to build their own server-side integrations, making the platform infinitely extensible and customizable. For now, if a customer wants to integrate some c

I know it's hard to believe, but thankfully there are tools to measure this. Try https://web.dev/measure/ and see for yourself - many popular websites reach interactivity after 10 seconds. Here are a few examples

Well honestly the true story is that it was simply a domain that we could afford, but we like to tell ourselves it's coming from Hebrew, where it means catalyst or accelerator.
