You mean because they have automated AML/anti-fraud systems that all banks must have; every bank wrongly freezes accounts. To your mind, Revolut does that worse than others. I disagree, but without hard evidence, it's just our hunches at odds.

> I have always got bad vibes from Revolut...

Help me understand, is the bad vibes you get from stories from the company culture? Or rather that the media put a target on their back (at at least in my opinion this is because they have a Russian born founder? Revolut is one of the best products I've ever used, I've honestly nothing but good things to say about them.

wouldn't "useful ad" imply either 1) clicking through and buying the product or service, or else 2) building up a positive brand association to help increase sales later?

remembering an advert correlates but is different to it being valuable.

You need both. My sense is that only a minority of people are hardwired to preferably live as hermits. And whilst it's an important life skill to be happy alone, everyone has their breaking point, it's no coincidence that one of the best predictors of longevity is how rich ones social life is.

> Surely Congress or the courts would have something to say about it?

my sense is that Trump feels to be above the law right now, having ordered the operation to seize Maduro without Congressional approval (illegal under U.S. constitutional law). Trump's reasoning was that "Congress has a tendency to leak", and so to him congress seems little more than background noise.

I switched to Firefox after Chrome stopped supporting uBlock Origin, for all the slights I've seen on HN lately with the direction of the product I've been very happy. No regrets.

My understanding is that agents are:

1) helping to saturate traditional SaaS because code is being commoditized / the effort to build is dropping significantly.

2) defining an adjacent sub-category of SaaS: "Service-as-a-Software" where the SaaS provides _outcomes_ instead of _tools_; this couldn't really exist at scale before recently.

I recall in the first lecture of some Comp Sci class back at uni, our lecturer had learnt what felt like every student's name and face from their digital profile, some 100 people. Whenever a random student raised their hand to participate he would say say "yes, <first name>". I'm still to this day in awe of that.
