Only see ads when watching youtube via chromecast, but they're all from real brands, holiday companies, cars, google pixel, etc

And? YouTube web absolutely has ads and if they have not built a model on your user you will absolutely get the chum ads like scams. I am not sure what you’re trying to tell us.

> I am not sure what you’re trying to tell us

Gotcha. So you are ignorant of why people are commenting.

The OP was talking about seeing 50% scam crypto ads. Our responses were to provide a comparison. Not to say that it doesn't happen, but that 50% scam crypto ads are not the norm for everyone. It's helpful to have that comparison when providing anecdotal information.

No one is saying those ads don't happen, only that it's probably not normal.

Next time, instead of being unnecessarily antagonistic, admit to being ignorant and ask.


Thanks, read the paper about testing the mythical man month theory.

Seems the conclusions are: fewer people is better; only one "organisation" or group should contribute to the code; ownership should be at the lowest level possible, not a high up manager; and knowledge retention is important, effectively manage people leaving and make sure the design rational is well documented


google'd [ai summary youtube transcript] and there's already at least 10

Get 2 steps of the dishwasher shelves, then when it's done swap them, and you never have to put the dishes away

Do you actually do this? I’ve thought about this but don’t have the space for it.

which is still weird, because those apps are always terrible and the connection always insecure

Apps are not for you, but for advertisers. UX is a secondary concern, generating additional revenue stream is the goal.

I raise you The East India Company

In the tech age there are new East India Company equivalents.

Belgian Congolese tire companies under King Leopold, Atlantic slave trade companies, Basil Zaharoff and Vickers who sold machine guns to both sides agitating WW1, IG Farben who did the Nazi gas chambers, Shell oil who since the 1970s continues spending billions funding climate change disinformation and billions preparing for it, at the same time... It's a long list.

Take Hyundai, a brand I drive, childhood slave factories, in the 2020s... You can't even brush your teeth without the ghosts of slavery.


Which one?

We choose to automate these things, not because they are easy, but because they are an interesting problem to solve

Really should invent a new name if you don't want your variables to vary

So expose the reader to them until they become familiar, problem solved
