    The fact that I worked in ad tech doesn't automatically make an advocate for ad targeting. I don't like being tracked either. As to your question on why it's being done if it isn't…

    Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, etc. have persistent cookies. They are mapped to your profile in their database. If you delete the cookie, it reappears the next time you sign in. These comp…

    The only thing that stands out in that piece is that they're collecting advertising device IDs. Those IDs are anonymous and resettable. Snapchat doesn't need them internally since …

    Yes, I'm wondering if there is any potential for leap frog advancements.

    I see your point, and I would argue that both the rate of output and quality of output matter. You're right that one doesn't necessarily count without the other. A human could prod…

    In its defense, the Economist has been known for its handsome catchphrases since before the modern clickbait era began. Take their covers for example. I don't think they're bowing …
