This is interesting but the fact they list "adchoices" as a site's monetization makes me wonder how much they know about adtech...

Is this a joke?

I find "VSRE" unnecessary: if you write efficiently, anyone capable of a VSR will follow suit.

If they know what you pirated, why don't the content providers just get your ISP to shut off your internet until you watch enough ads to make up for the cost (they could do a little rev-share to incentivize comcast). Piracy will exist as long as content providers insist on selling something that can no longer be sold.

this is why I love the 3 finger drag in osx.

I bet that setting an interval to check for the specific node is actually more performant than using the mutation event (which as @Vekz pointed out, slows down the whole DOM)...

Just to put this out there -- since nobody has really mentioned it -- ruby (as a language) doesn't have the greatest performance. You can do some tricks with GC to speed it up (Ruby EE might be a faster option), but you're still looking at 50x slower than C (python is 40x, Java 7 is around 2x, Javascript on V8 -- Node-- is 4x). So if you're planning on doing a lot on the backend, you might want to consider breaking off your logic/processing into java or lisp or something and using a rpc/mq system to send it tasks from your RoR/Django app....but then again...you might not want to start with too many moving parts :)

I agree; the whole node socket/handshake is a ton of overhead if you're not interested in using the socket to make calls over the API you just authenticated.
