Yeah sure let's bury our head in the sand and pretend all forms of media will thrive while only selling subscriptions but so far, we've seen how it went for the older ones (newspap…

What's the solution? If anything, the proliferation of ad tech junk and 15MB of various ad-related things is probably better than just that 1MB of only Google Ads scripts, no? Or a…

You can add Spain and Italy trailing behind.

No, I have been hanging around in Discord for a while now and I've run quite often into issues with connection issues for specific servers (I guess some clusters going down) and th…

On top of what has already been said, I found Mumble to be a better voice com tool than Discord, sound quality is better, shortcut mapping more extensive, etc ... Discord having th…

The other way around as C. Clarke's work is younger than this one. Also reminds me of Barjavel's 'The ice people' which has a large golden sphere buried deep under the ice in Antar…

Oh boy, if you have never worked for a bank, you would be inclined to believe they have this shit down to a T after being such early adopters of tech and all the risks they underta…

Reminds me a lot of my uncle that had sort of taken over my grand-parent's farm and never really moved away from there. I can definitely empathise with his mindset, especially afte…

No, actually you can do both (and more). Advertising is throwing darts at the board with your eyes closed, whenever it lands somewhere on the board and nets you point is good enoug…

Fascinating video as always from Jonathan. Definitely highlights something I've always felt, which is that we're really making life complicated with all those tools and processes t…

That's because the companies winning bidds on your 'views' are targeting you because of your apparent persona, i.e middle aged man/woman in tech -aka middle class ++ with disposabl…

Hello, I'm the $50 / month customer. Not an internet business per say, mostly used in the context of processing and storing data + internal apps. Do is great value, although not th…

What about actual open (to an extent granted) platforms as opposed to those proto publishers / platforms like FB / TW / ... ?

Better change your name to Bobby Tables now ;-)

Inutile donc indispensable. Have to admire the dedication you've put into that. Us casual line-riders spent a few hours at best and moved on onto the next shiny thing and there's t…

That fancy attire really doesn't look that great : http://www.geocities.ws/cityofottawainfo/celeb_m.htm Proof that you can't buy taste. For everything else, obviously there's Maste…

This so much. One of the main reason the big players dominate the Web (in the marketing space) so much is because SaaS is easier to handle (for most people) than having to deploy a…

1) Google, thanks to its acquisitions / strategies is actually all over the web, and has a hand in every single part of the ad tech stack (outside of walled gardens). It's problema…

As long as you have a (sub) domain you can use and a bit of free time, you could go to your favourite cheap 'cloud' provider, i.e. Digital Ocean, Scaleway, ... Spin up a cheap inst…

Laughs in Linus Torvald, Joe Armstrong and Guido van Rossum, just off the top of my head

Yelp tends to be yet another scam in the same vein. It's fair to leave them out. And even though your points are right, I am not sure those providers should charge as much. It's ki…

Le soleil ne se couche jamais sur la République.

We have those in Dublin. Seems to be working mostly ok and pretty cheap to use. A 20€ yearly membership and your rides are free if they last less than 30 minutes. Which means free …

It also doesn't solve the issue that ads are trying to address in the first place, which is to promote your business. If you outright ban ads, they'll come back in a sneaky way, se…
