>I do not understand what a demand-side platform is and the article does a terrible job of explaining it.

The intended audience for Digiday (the domain of this thread's article) are people already interested in the business of digital ads and marketing. Therefore, a common industry term like DSP is assumed as baseline knowledge so explaining it would be redundant and tedious for their readers.

It's when the article is re-posted to an aggregator like HN that it seems like "demand side platform" is poorly explained by the author. HN readers like us were not the intended audience.

EDIT to downvoters: I have no idea what you're downvoting. If you think my information is incorrect about Digiday, please post the correction.
The specificity of the brain regions in question is important. The results basically mean "people who exercise have larger brain regions for tasks that help them exercise effectively". Which... yes?

Pumping the energy out of the Yellowstone supervolcano was proposed to lower the risk of an eruption. That seems like a win-win to me.
Funny there's no mention of ML without a PHD. Anyone done that?
These were going for about 2K over in the new england area. I got mine for just a smidge over MSRP in July. With the $2500 MA rebate and federal rebate it's a good deal. Plus it's a fun car to drive and the charging is fast.
Likewise, because they are pretty much non-existant in the US, poster is way out of line.
All the HP books were like that.

In most cases, somebody just doing the obvious thing at the beginning of the book would have left nothing to write about in the rest. So, they just didn't do that thing.

Of course there are some excellent recent calculus books, but that doesn't mean all books over 50 aren't good. There are some great old calculus books.

I'm soon to be 38 and despite thinking of it all the time never attempted to go ahead with my own startup.

You're much more a success than I am.

What you are going through is grief, for a company ; so even without any more information, as anyone who lost people, I would tend to say: "yes you will recover". Here's one that I saw the other day and really resonated: https://everything2.com/title/You+have+a+sad+feeling+for+a+m...
While I agree with your sentiment, in this case what Apple is rumoured to be planning is no different than what happens in retail today. For example, your grocer sells their 'end cap' shelving space (end of aisle--highly visible product placement). Not only that, grocers have moved to stocking their inventory in a highly inefficient approach so that average consumers need to walk every aisle to fill their cart (the Apple comparable is a bad search experience, to lead consumers to paid placement instead).

Apple is doing what we already experience in the physical world. If you dislike Apple's changes then the fix is going to have to be general consumer protection laws that apply in real world spaces as well as digital.
Yes. British railway stations have a computerised voice apologising for the delayed trains. If it was a human making these announcements I could imagine them feeling a smidgen of regret. But with a computer I know nobody gives a shit.

I feel the opposite. It's time to start teaching it to statisticians again. Properly.
I don't think I understand what you are trying to say here.

Currently, basic cameras and alarm systems are very affordable, more so than most of the staple devices in any given shop, e.g. cash registers. And if we are talking about actual deterrents, then they should be looking at steel window grills.

But let's assume that it is true that keeping a store lit is a deterrent, then why wouldn't they put up cheap, motion activated lamps, around the store?

Point is, businesses need to keep up with the times. Just stating that lightning keeps thieves away is not going to cut it.

This should be required reading for anyone that trying to emulate the PS1 rendering aesthetic. Too many developers seem to think that PS1 games probably looked worse than how they remember them and try to compensate for their nostalgia (or just want to heighten the aesthetic) by introducing far, far more wobbling and warping than there actually was!

How does it work for cellular and other internet providers, but not mine?
Can someone clarify the geochemistry for me? What happens to the rock vapor? Does it resolidify along the existing wall, or does it recondense into fine particulates, and are those particulates easier to remove than pieces of the solid rock itself?

Then, can somebody clarify the physics for me- how far away can the target be from the energy source of the gyro-tron?

I would not like to have to interact with an "IT" department for my personal email.

I would not like my email service to store the required personal information to prove who I am.

I would not like to give away personal information to some poorly trained stranger / I would not want to pay whatever the ridiculous cost it is to have 1000s of people employed for this completely automatable job - I don't want to live in Japan.

The key takeaway is that if you have a second line of communication, humans can use it but bots won't - "Issues registering? Contact someemail or see us on IRC/Discord" can do wonders.
A quick question as it very hard to get an answer back on this. Does Google ask leetcode stuff for firmware and kernel engineers too?
One example I experienced recently: got my 10G fiber and was torrenting was few things. I was pulling down about 25MB/sec and my mac mini started acting really weird. ARD locked up and the connection dropped and various other things. Did the same thing on Linux, transmission on both but in docker on Linux, and it didn’t flinch. Everything else in the system worked fine, and I have quite a lot on that Linux system, including a plex server.

Hello, I am Elena, an experienced senior-level web/mobile engineer with 8+ years of experience. I've started migrating my Web2 developer career to a Web3 and looking for a Solidity engineering position.
I would like to join a team of talented people, where I can quickly grow and master my skills around Defi, DAOs, and Web3 which I am really excited about. If you are considering an entry-level candidate with a big motivation and senior-level software engineering background - please let me know.

Looking forward.
There was this idea going around that solar power would cause global warming, since a solar panel is typically warmer than whatever was there before it was installed. But the idea turns out to be bullshit, the warming effect is tiny compared to what the equivalent co2 from fossil fuels would cause.

The lesson is: Always. Do. The. Math. First.
Strunk & White's The Elements of Style is a classic.
Perhaps you are thinking of fracking? In fracking they dig deep, horizontal wells and inject a water/sand mix into the well to fracture the rock. This method has resulted in measurable earthquakes.
Many posts aggregated in my case. I'll probably get shot for this but I use HN to avoid the costly ramp up of jumping on tech industry marketing fads and false promises. About 50% of the products and ideas out there burn quickly. 25% of what is left are mires of pain. HN is the place to watch people suffer and rewrite so I don't have to incur the cost myself.

From the ashes, I can pick out lasting tech to build on. That makes me money.
fwiw idc :) I can understand that's an interesting question to ask, but after spending 10 minutes on a lengthy answer I realized we're still talking about a 13 year old post with (summary of my lengthy answer) vague-but-mostly-plausible info.
- marketplaces has demand and supply

- demand are the buyers (people who spend the money)

- supply are the sellers (people who has the goods)

- online digital ads are typically sold and bought in a marketplace style system

- demand are the advertisers

- supply are people with the "goods", in this case, ad placement slots such as websites, newsletters, apps, app stores.. anywhere the advertiser can find audience and put an ad.

- demand side platform is a platform for the advertisers to connect with the supply.
Because of the dominance of advertising as a revenue model, new entrants may actually be worse than what we already have. Before the forest gets a fire we need to make more room for software business models besides "ad-funded". My favoured approach is regulation that would make tracking mandatory "opt-in", but anything that makes collecting and selling user data less lucrative would be good.

For every few miles you drill the temperature rises by 370F. The closest we've ever come to drilling was with the Japanese scientific drilling ship Chikyu [1]. It had to stop because of extreme pressure collapsing the walls of the drilling hole after just 7km. Just putting it into perspective, the amount of heat trapped inside Earth is immense.

Why is there this obsession with systems or algorithms having "understanding"? No one thinks these things have internal states equivalent to "understanding". "Understanding" or not you can't deny the capability of these systems.
you could think of "knowing what a giraffe is" in this instance as a slice of an intelligent thought, but it's not a whole thought, let alone a train of thoughts, or a plan involving many trains of thought over time for internally motivated reasons.

If we could get it to tell us a story about a particular giraffe, and then ask it next week about that same giraffe, and then the giraffe could be referenced by it while it tells a joke on a talk show in a decade -- that's maybe too high a bar, but that's real intelligence.
No, they are beholden to the same rules they set in place.

Oh come on, most attorneys have Juris Doctor degrees, we don't call them Dr. Lawyer.

There are lots of people we call "doctor." The ones with Ph.D's. And some of them are lawyers, and are addressed as "doctor."

Also interesting: There was an HN comment a few weeks ago that pointed to a helpful link which demonstrated that the idea of "doctor" didn't start with medical doctors and spread to other disciplines, it was the other way around.

I know I was surprised.
Even with a customer coming in physically, you still need to create processes that make sure they are who they say they are, etc. There are already longstanding methods the legal industry uses to "verify identities", including notarization and medallion stamps. I would use other business's physical presence to do that heavy lifting, and focus on combining with other methods to create secure process. For example, there could be a week long waiting period to reset a password such that if there was a forged request, there would be plenty of time for the real account owner to put the brakes on.

I'd be torn between pushing customers to use their own domain name (pulling back the curtain and making registrar relationships the weakest link), and using a singular domain name that would be easier to make sure didn't get transferred etc. It might be best to decommodify and encourage customers to only use it for account addresses and not long term personal contacts. Or perhaps a mix of both, with a unified mailbox?
FWIW, the programming section on twitch often has solo devs working away on projects. You should check that out too.
I meant more like the democratic party (new york times), republican party (fox), the national security establishment (washington post).

This is still too vague even, I think and there are probably complex sub-centres of power (e.g. factions within the democrats) and alliances (e.g. the neocon/democratic party nexus) reflected as well.

All of this gets airbrushed over by the traditional left/right continuum.

It's critically important too, coz it definitely drives both what is reported and how it's selectively presented and is a better predictor than an arbitary left/right designation.
I don't think 99.9% of the public would find accommodating the 0.1% a problem.
Government withdrew the bill only to bring it back in a new form, since the original bill had something like 80 amendments.
Ask HN: Techniques for maintaining mental health while shutting down a startup?
For me there was always unexpected grief realizing it was time to shut down my digital products and the corresponding corporate entities. In fact, there are pieces of some of my efforts I’m still not ready to say good bye to.

I’m wondering about techniques and resources, that helped you process and work through the mental health side of stopping a startup.

At this point anything you put in a computer you should expect to one day be open-sourced to the universe.

Agreed, I stopped using it as soon as they introduced this pricing model. A shame.
Don’t go to ShaderToy. You will find a really cool shader and then be disappointed when the code is incomprehensible because whoever wrote it want used one letter variables (starting alphabetically! So x, y, and x coordinates might not even be “x, y, z” but “o, p, q”).
You sound like such a typical HN user it's hilarious . Not everything is so cynical. Apple has a history of putting users first. Do you really think they're going to jeopardize the likability of their own OS to the masses?
I don't understand how my brain isn't just gluing things together either. I don't personally feel like I'm actually experiencing the understanding of anything
that's one of the saddest things of our times, that indie shops are dying over the subs chasm. I wish there was more innovation in between paid once and monthly, right now offering yearly sub seems like a good solution. In any case $60 per year seems like a steal if the product helps you out to perform better doing your 150k job

Probably not, but do they affect local micro-climates? I have the same question about large-scale solar farms.

I've always assumed it's been looked at, so I don't worry about it particularly, but I never see anybody talk about it.
The group with disposable income and a penchant for building PCs probably now has kids and a mortgage. Games for younger kids are extremely mobile friendly and don’t require any custom built gaming PC.

I fear for our hermetically sealed computing future. I worry the “tech skill shortage” will only worsen into a protected elite class of university trained folks that it was originally. Us dropout founders thought we were the future - but we were just a gap in the leviathans armor. The P in PC is at risk of being lost forever. Heck - social media in the cloud might as well be a Social Computer already.

Anyways - still bullish on AMD. Consumer will die - enterprise will flourish.
Def enough time to complete a project with 1h/day, and you can also do it in "super deep dive mode" to take full advantage of the experience. We've definitely seen engineers do that.

For example, we're now starting to introduce source code walkthroughs. Here's one going over how the Redis event loop is implemented — https://app.codecrafters.io/walkthroughs/redis-event-loop.

So as you build out your Redis project, you can study in parallel how the official source does it, learn some cool facts, and overall spend more time developing fluency with the Redis docs.

One of the ways you could contribute is adding language support. If one of our courses doesn't support one of the languages you work with, you can add support for it here — https://github.com/codecrafters-io/languages.
Any communities where you have a critical mass of people with spare fucks to give about their neighbors' power equipment is already rich enough that most people are going to have landscaping far in excess of the bare minimum because they can afford it and they like it or feel obligated by social norms to do it, basically the same bunch of reasons you find 2-child households owning 4Runners and people who barely cook owning a bunch of fancy cookware.

Lifting a ban won't do squat because it only affects a tiny minority. The only reason the laws and HOA rules even exist in the first place is because most people in the effected jurisdictions already kept a lawn and so nobody cared to raise any opposition when the jackbooted types wanted to force the few nonconformists to conform.
I just asked to be screened for ADHD. The guy was pretty skeptical, and the test would have been out of pocket with or without insurance.

In the actual test, you had to watch a square flash on the screen at random intervals and click a clicker if it flashed on the bottom. That's it. It took an hour. Afterward, you get your results based on mistakes and reaction time over time. The data and statistics associated with it are really interesting, too.
I'm a little confused by this author feeling like they are pulling back the curtain on Apple & Ads. Apple hasn't been anti-ad (though their products have way fewer ads than the competition. I installed Windows on a new machine yesterday and oh boy I was not prepared) but rather they are pro-privacy. Their recent crackdown on ad networks wasn't "we hate ads so we are going it make harder" but instead it was "you all are leaking customer data like a sieve and that's not ok".

The problem with most all the ad networks out there is they are not good stewards of their data and will sell it (directly or indirectly) to anyone with the money to buy it. Personally I hate ads but I understand their place in the world and if I have to see ads I trust Apple way more than Google or whatever fly-by-night ad tracking company is out there. The problem has always been that the advertisers had way more access to the info about the customer (and sometimes the customer's PII/unique id) than I was comfortable with and they would share that indiscriminately. If Apple is the one holding that info and if they design their system in a way that protects it then I don't personally see this as a problem.
Everyone is posting anecdotes. My anecdote is that it hasn't made me any money. The number of commenters on this post is much less than the overall number of users on HN. I see no evidence against my statements either.

"HN posts have made people money directly AND indirectly."

This doesn't negate my claim. Some people do make money on here. I feel that number is very low.
I totally agree that without all the deck mounted guns these types of ships do not look intimidating. Never judge a war ship by its looks, tho. These types of ships seem to be basically armoured high-tech barges for launching weapons.
The USA are not the world. Even if suddenly they managed to taxe all the carbon in their economy, and all imports coming into their countries, you cannot force the world to follow.

China, Russia and India exchange massively between them, with Europe, Africa, and internally. Those product would be cheaper, since no carbon tax, so no incentive.

It's a hard problem to solve.

If we get a big hydrogen market, the problem never needs to be solved.
I’m still very early in my career, but I went straight from my bachelors to working in ML Engineering at a startup. I think it depends what type of ML job. If it’s heavy in research, I imagine a PhD would be much more important. We’re doing some research in terms of building some new models, but good portion of my job is on the infrastructure, pipelining, side of things.
My theory for the phrases above is that they're a "unique seed" used to identify sites that are easily compromised. Do a web search, find a website filled with "Duke de Montosier" comments - bingo, you've identified an easy website to target with your backlink comment spam. Or, more maliciously, a website that is easy to thoroughly compromise with vulnerabilities. But that's just my current theory.

Here's the one tweet I found in Swedish about the comment spam botnet, and it dates back to February 2021. She's the only person I could find who has mentioned it in public. Or maybe my search skills are failing me.

Where is the light generated?

The sun. How did the sun form and why does it produce light? Gravity pulled some hydrogen into a ball, enough of it was there that gravity forced it to fuse.
The analogy here breaks down because the App Store is not a physical space with "aisles" and "endcaps". The only realistic way to navigate the App Store's millions of apps is with search. It's ok to place paid results for searches like "todo list" or "calendar". But if I search for "Fantastical", I better get "Fantastical.app" as my first result. Not some unrelated bullshit that a competitor has placed there. The latter is the equivalent of me reaching for the Corn Flakes at the store and some guy popping up and shoving Cheerios in my hand instead.
Yeah, but it looks like humans are doubling the amount of energy produced/consumed per year every 30-40 years.[0] If we say it takes 150 years to increase the amount of energy consumed by a factor of 10, then we'll be consuming 100 billion times more energy than we do today in well under 2,000 years.

Compared to a human life, that is a very long time. Compared to the time it's going to take for the sun to expand and swallow the earth (which others in the thread are doing), it really isn't.
