Most ads are bought and sold based on impressions, and the measurement of impressions is done via a 3rd party to ensure the publisher doesn't over-report the amount of impressions they delivered. Advertisers also typically pay for some level of ad verification to ensure their ads appear on the sites they are targeting, and were in-view when clicked, etc.

The model you described works fine for a directly sold placement; the publisher places the ad for a fixed amount of time for a fixed fee. They may still want to have impression and conversion tracking via a 3rd party to measure performance across the multiple sites/ad networks they may be buying on. A pure HTML ad could absolutely work and be ad-block proof, but that doesn't really scale for pubs or advertisers. I have seen that model where the publisher represents a very specific audience, like a trade association. It really doesn't work on a general content site unless there is a high degree of faith from the publisher to the advertiser.
That’s incorrect.

> the assertion that we MUST jail people, because it fits our "greed" narrative and whatever cognitive bias we drag into the picture, ensures that we will not remedy the problem effectively. This means people may die.

You don't send people to jail because of "greed", broadly speaking you might divide it into two categories: A) this specific person is a threat to society; B) this person did something morally unconscionable, irresponsible, negligent etc. The reasoning for following through with B is not merely vindictive, it's societal value is in sending a message that this behaviour is not OK! that is a preventative measure - "you must be morally responsible".

This is entirely applicable to this scenario: greed is NOT the problem, trying to make cheaper planes is NOT the problem, trying to beat the competition is NOT the problem - The problem is attaining those goals by gambling with peoples lives by cutting corners that significantly compromise safety, that is gross negligence.

... So yes! send the people responsible to jail, please show the next in line that this behaviour is not tolerated.

> have more competitive pressure

That's the theory, but in practice I think states have less competitive pressure. VA for example shifts massive amounts of funding from the northern part of the state. This has worked due to continuous gerrymandering that allows one party to maintain control despite statewide elections being far more competitive. In practice VA almost can't mess things up, simply by because it's so close to DC.

National elections on the other hand regularly shift power around. That provides constant pressure to adapt and improve. People may not like the FBI, but few feel it’s ineffective.

Those are "opportunity funds". "Parallel Funds" normally are funds that invest at the same time and in the same fund percentage as the main fund. These are often setup as a way to group together LPs; for example you may have a main US fund and one in the Caymans that's for foreign investors. They function as a "Fund Family" and because they make the same investments at the same percentages, they normally have the same returns.

Looking at the SEC filing for Pinterest, you can see this is the case for a16z. Fund III and Parallel Fund III invested in the same rounds, always at the same proportion:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1503674/000114420419...

What's not clear given this, is why the parallel fund has much better returns. It may have to do with how the fees are structured.

Intentions matter. When someone calls me "madam", I know this bears generally no bad intent. Therefore I don't make any fuss about it.

I've worked for a doctor doing sex change treatments, a long time ago. I've seen people that suffered incredibly. Some of them looked like caricatures, but that was certainly not funny. I took, naturally, great care in calling them "sir" or "madam" as they expected (and it sometimes required actual effort, and it was poignant and upsetting just thinking of the looks these persons must have received back outdoors).

However I don't feel like wanting to be called some very special pronoun that nobody ever heard of because you're oh so special falls into the same category. I don't feel that people wanting to be in their own very special niche class of genre, race or whatever category is sane, good and healthy, or some form of progress. Happiness isn't finding some form of very individualistic achievement.

I think that a better approach to software is to only build what is absolutely necessary, lazily, according to real user stories fulfilled by customer service. Try to automate away all the customer service, but only in response to learning from it in the first place.

> Any job that requires intense physical labor is on the list of “for sure, you worked hard,” as is anything that involves great emotional and psychological resilience, such as social work. But after that it gets tricky. How about someone who founded a trading company or a real estate agency in the 1980s, riding the wave of the business-friendly Reagan years? They’ve worked for decades, undoubtedly with some late nights or unusual hours. But is that the same as getting black lung? What about someone who just worked a fairly normal 40 hour week, from age 18 to 65? Is that “hard work?” What about someone whose job is creative and enjoyable? Is that also “hard work?” How do we measure this, exactly? Can it be done by number of hours? Intensity of work? Sacrifices made? Cubits of human suffering?
I'm thinking of getting either a P1 or a P53 for my next work upgrade. The P53 will likely have better thermals, but the P1 has an option to remove the discrete GPU, and just use the integrated GPU. As I have no need for a fancy GPU, I figure it would reduce unnecessary power draw.

Just build in a Lian-Li o11 dynamic, Corsair HX psu. I honestly don't hear it over other ambient noises around (AC, road outside, etc)... I am using an AIO 360 for top-exhaust, but it's a far cry from a custom open-loop, not much harder than a regular HSF. Been very happy with it so far.

(rambling ahead)

Using an r5-3600 as a placeholder waiting for a 3950X. Was running an i7-4790k since that dropped, and wasn't unhappy with it, but there are things where it gets sluggish with the 4 cores, etc. I have definitely noticed the performance difference. Also jumped to Linux (Pop!_OS) from 2 years of hackintosh. I need to update to kernel 5.3 and update video drivers before swapping the older rx570, with an rx5700xt aftermarket.

Actually being able to order certain parts has been a bit of a pain though.
I wouldn't argue that hooks is a simpler programming model, except perhaps under the hood. The Hooks API is not intuitive. I'm sure once you get a hang of it it's not hard, but as a Vue developer reading Hooks code it's not very clear.

While there was some backlash to the initial Hooks-inspired style in Vue, they went back to the drawing board and came up with a better way to explain it to the community that has gotten a much better response. I also find Vue's API for "hooks" much more intuitive/readable than React hooks, because it maps pretty well to the old style of writing code.
> We can't "really" know anything about the "real" world either - yet hardly anyone takes solipsism seriously...

Philosophers generally take solipsism seriously. They just do something called "bracketing" regarding solipsism. "Bracketing" is a philosopher's way of saying, "Yes, this is a serious issue, but we can't make any progress unless we ignore the problem, so that's what we're going to do. But we'll be sure to keep it in the back of our heads as a possibility, lest it come back and bite us."

I.e., virtually every philosophical argument starts with an implicit, "For the sake of argument let's assume that solipsism isn't true." There are also probably dozens of other such worries that are typically bracketed.

Mathematicians often do something similar. There are certain mathematical conjectures (usually involving infinities in my experience) which we can prove can neither be proved nor disproved. So mathematicians will just assume some such conjectures for the sake of making progress. One example of this would be the axiom of choice.

This is a dangerously specious argument. Industry manufactures items for consumers. Textiles, specifically, are rarely intermediate materials in or byproducts of manufacturing. If you believe otherwise, in opposition to the EPA, news media, and common experience, please enlighten us all with actual facts regarding not-consumer textile use and what portion of the waste stream this represents. Otherwise this gives the impression of simply trying to absolve oneself of any sense of personal responsibility and claim that everything is someone else's fault.

It's not for the sake of it. It's so Gatsby didn't have to achieve much beyond wrapping some complicated frameworks to be useful. Basically, about 5 minutes into setting up Gatbsy, you go "Oh, so it's just React and GraphQL. Ok..."

Dead reckoning is a bit harder when your game isn't using a perspective based camera (2D or orthographic). Otherwise you can use visual tricks to hide the rubber banding from a distance. Though when in 2D the solution is to interpolate between waypoints.
> According to my experience, an evening spent on MDMA ... is worth by orders of magnitude more than years of psychotherapy or vacations

In my biased non-drug-using opinion, sitting around high is a poor substitute for having actual experiences with your SO. I'm trying to imagine later in life what reminiscing would be like: "Remember all those times we sat around high and had sex? yeah, that was great". vs. "Remember that Barcelona trip? Yeah, that was crazy with the pickpocket kid..."
Generally the server does not in fact know what all the players are doing. They're sharded at the most granular possible level (typically a zone or instance) so any server instance knows about no more than 50-100 players.
A large part of the jailbreak user community is pretty young agewise. Lots of drama/immaturity/people quitting out of the scene due to toxicity. Some of the people crafting these released exploits into a functioning jailbreak are in college or below!

There's a pretty big piracy problem as well (not just cracked iOS apps, but also cracked paid tweaks released by devs for jailbreak devices) probably due to the younger ages without access to $.
The person you're replying to was saying that range of political views between Democrats and Republicans is smaller than the range of views in Europe. As you've noted, there are some Nazi-adjacent parties winning elections in Europe. There are also some communist parties that have seats in European assemblies. That seems to support the idea that the difference between Republicans and Democrats is relatively small.

Also, I don't think that even the "we want to shut down mosques" right-wing of Europe wants to eg. get rid of socialized healthcare.
Edit: gburdell3's answer – that there was never a "real" version, and it was only ever a white label package – seems likely.

My experience manufacturing in China is that unless you're paying to have your own people on the ground overseeing operations, the factory will take every shortcut they can, and then immediately offer your product for sale to anybody that asks.

Once the molds/setup is done, it's trivial to print 150k instead of 100k, for example. If there's a counterfeit market that wants more of your product, then why not make money in two places?

Western ideas about IP, fairness, etc do not translate over there.

Perhaps the above comment is accurate in the sense that a raw, paleo diet is healthiest for humans, or even the only truly healthy diet. (Though I've yet to see any strong studies claim that it beats a Mediterranean diet, much less a great many studies.)

But even if that's true, it's an entirely different question from "what's up with modern ultraprocessed foods?" This study was contrasting foods like "normal" pasta with canned ravioli and finding a difference. Since "everyone only eat raw food" is an unlikely and unpopular outcome, it's absolutely worth finding what's actually problematic within the enormously broad sweep of "processed".
For me, I found Clojure after googling around for various of permutations of "CSP in function language" back in 2016 or so. I fooled around with core.async, thought it was pretty neat, but promptly forgot about it.

About a year later, I was doing a project where I felt a dynamic language would be useful, still wanted it to be pure-functional-ish, and tried Clojure, and this time started with the fundamentals, and once I got to macros, I was completely hooked on Lisp for forever.

I thought it was the coolest thing ever that I could add language features without having to understand compiler theory or anything like that.

=====

Nowadays, my work involves around 50% Java (yuck) and 50% Clojure, but a lot of my personal projects are done with Scheme, since I have to admit that I do kind of like the `define-syntax` macro system better than Clojure's.

I definitely see the "event horizon" analogy. Once you see just how much more productive you are with the language than most others, it's hard to leave.
“Matthews says Gatsby (the company) is now contributing about $3 million per year to open-source projects that include the core Gatsby tools and the plugin ecosystem around it.”

Nor necessarily. The German hyper inflation happened in the 20s as a direct result of the financial crash in the US and had nothing to do with a war. Same for Germany after WW2, during the war the currency held itself rather well, the collapse happened after the war.

That countries usually overstretch their economies is something different from inflating money.
Exactly. Serving people directly strongly encourages a focus on delivering real value, because the user and the purchaser are the same.

Serving people indirectly allows for all sorts of other approaches that work in the short term. If purchasing decisions are mainly driven by our sales guys and their executives, it slows and distorts a key feedback loop.

I once heard a story about SurveyMonkey that I love. They got their start very much on the self-serve end. But eventually the CFO of Oracle saw all these credit card charges from individual Oracle employees using it, went to SurveyMonkey, and said, "Create an enterprise tier for us." SurveyMonkey looked at what it would take in terms of engineering and said, "Sorry, we have other priorities right now."

The way I heard it, the Oracle CFO, not used to being told no, sent forth an edict: From now on staff were not to use SurveyMonkey, but some other product that Oracle did have an enterprise deal with. Sounds like bad news for SurveyMonkey! Except that the other product wasn't very good, and SurveyMonkey wasn't that much anyhow, so people just went on using and expensing it.
