I would assume that you would not get an impression if your ad content was never loaded which most ad blockers would prevent (AFAIK)


One obvious exception to this is the blocker 'Ad Nauseum', which loads and clicks the ad in order to screw up tracking data.

It's not the most popular blocker, but it seems to me that the risk of false "impressions" exists.

I should ask the social media platforms what their position on this subject is and write a blog with my findings.

UPDATE: I've done that.

Seems a bit odd to post this now considering all were fixed earlier this year.


He seems to be just indiscriminately shoveling links from a few selected sites onto HN (13 paywalled links from wsj.com alone in the past 24 hours).


I truly hope we are about the high water mark for this kind of entirely irrelevant nonsense. It seems at least in this case the majority of the TSC had the sense to properly deem this ridiculous.


Not surprised to see James Snell prominently involved in this. I've had bad feelings about this since the io.js group joined the foundation. This is upsetting having followed (and used) the project for so long.


You'll see this occasionally for YC companies


(Agree.)

> Can I post a job ad?

[...]

> The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time.


I went to FAQ to look for this before posting but I guess my short attention spam syndrome prevented me from reading the third paragraph.

Mea culpa


I, too, would target the areas that would quickly récup the costs of the fiber I just paid out. Why deploy if people can't afford $100+/month internet service? (guessing on that price.. I pay $120 for 200mbps today)


You already had to hit the Fn key to make the Fn keys function, correct? The defaults were the brightness, volume, etc settings. You do the same thing and they all appear on the Touchbar. Zero change in usability there.


Generally I think most devs who use MacBooks disable that option (making it so that you have to press fn to get the standard mac functionality) so that they have better access to the Fn keys. I will echo the sentiment, that there's something nicely tactile about key presses that's missing from the touch bar. That being said - I do half my work on monitors using an external keyboard/touchpad anyway, so it's really not the worst thing in the world.


I wouldn't call not being able to feel a key no change in usability.


Atlassian is not known for great product experiences so I don't think it is at all unjustified to fear that a product people genuinely seem to love to use will turn into an uninspired mess.

(disclaimer: I don't use Trello but I did use Jira and other Atlassian products for a brief period of time until I couldn't tolerate it anymore)


I was going to reply to the person that replied to you (I had agreed with you and thought it was just beefier hardware they'd need to handle the encryption demands) but it turns out they specifically require a certain type of coprocessor:

> Where many companies fail to secure their products at all or use simple 128-bit encryption, all HomeKit certified hardware includes a dedicated security co-processor paired with 3072-bit keys and the very secure Curve25519 key exchange system
