Yes like the peer reply said that's Notion, not us. But good point, another thing to keep in mind if you try to use the "Share to the web" notion feature.
the _ga stuff isn't Notion, but the rest is, yes. My real point is, if you use a service to provide your own service, you give them your blessing to do whatever they want with your brand. This includes facebook and their tracking scripts. Thus we need to audit what our service providers are doing and limit their impact once we've completed the evaluation, making sure they don't alter the deal later. Also tracking ad…
While I agree with the sentiment of your first point, in practice if each small business were expected to audit every one of their inputs, it would be hard to get any business done.
As for your second point, yes, that is precisely what I referred to in my original post - that we could deal with the end of IDFA / that we just want to make sure ads are effective - SKAN which provides aggregated statistics is mostly ok for us.

The allocation of Senators isn’t supposed to be proportionate to state population by design . It’s a non-issue. Proportional representation occurs in the House.
Just because it was done by design doesn't mean it's a non-issue. The Senate is an extremely undemocratic organization. The population discrepancy between States is much higher now than when the country was founded. Nor do the reasons the founders did it this way exist anymore.
> The population discrepancy between States is much higher now than when the country was founded.
This is exactly why the Senate was designed this way.
> Nor do the reasons the founders did it this way exist anymore.
Federalism still exists even if you don’t see it.

Proportional representation also doesn’t occur in the house because of gerrymandering. https://www.fairvote.org/votes_vs_seats_in_the_people_s_hous...
Sounds like the problem here is gerrymandering not the Senate.

Doesn't that make them really inefficient? I couldn't imagine efficiently coding on a phone or even tablet without adding a keyboard, mouse and larger screen (eg Samsung DeX) which will basically make it a laptop or desktop.

You're correct. Apologies for writing that could be misinterpreted.

While I agree, that a full audit would be difficult for smaller operations, it took me 2-5 minutes to do a quick check on what is being stored client-side and to come to a logical conclusion if individual users are being tracked or not.
It's a decision, one that you can (probably) make. For me, in the EU, it's no longer a choice and I personally think regulation(GDPR) was needed because, without it, no one took user-privacy seriously.
> As for your second point, yes, that is precisely what I referred to in my original post - that we could deal with the end of IDFA / that we just want to make sure ads are effective - SKAN which provides aggregated statistics is mostly ok for us.
GDPR would also apply here. If there's an option to process less data and achieve a similar result, one should use that option and using a more invasive method(identifying individuals) for tracking would be illegal. It's called "the data minimisation principle"

This mindset is so weird to me. I can't imagine just wanting to buy things for the sake of buying things. I generally only buy things because I have problems I recognize and want to solve. And the more heavily advertised a solution to one of my problems is, the more I inherently distrust it to actually be a quality lasting product/service instead of something that's just desperately trying to program me that it's act…
When I die, I can’t take my money with me. Gotta do something with it.
You can't take anything else, either. Not your toys, not your memories.

Just note, the poster most probably did not actually 'short' facebook, the poster used options to do this. Its pretty simple for the buy case. Options have a strike price and an expiration date. You buy a CALL option, with a strike price, that gives you an option to buy that stock for that price. Or you can buy a PUT option, that gives you the option to sell at that strike price. Example using made up numbers. FB is…
> In my example this is roughly due to the time between now and the exercise date. Over time, this shrinks, this is called beta-decay. I think you mean theta decay. Theta is the time factor of an option's value. Beta is, roughly, a comparison of a security's (or portfolio's) volatility versus market vol. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/beta.asp Beta decay is studied in a completely different industry. https://en…
Thanks, it was theta, I had it explained to me first as beta, and it stuck in my mind that way.

Ads yes, usually from random B2C companies, but I adblock so I don't see any. People who aren't your friends, no, you only see those who you follow. I also get messages or pictures from people I'm friends with, but for people who are more acquaintances, I follow them on IG and see what they're doing, and if it's interesting I'll comment on the post or message them, and catch up with them that way. It's also somewhat…
> It's also somewhat of a hassle to send messages and photos to people when you want to share it broadly, such as a trip you went on or something. Again just my perspective but I don’t see value in broadcasting experience to a wide audience. I would view that as “content”. I don’t think it has any positive qualities. The RSS feed is a good way of thinking about it, but I say just don’t post and who cares about your t…
Again, it's too many people to tell individually, it's easier for me to broadcast it and those who are interested will automatically reach out to me. There's no need on my end to do additional work so to speak, ie I don't have to message every party in the hopes that they might be interested, that's why I liken it to something like a broadcast.
