Sure I'd love to see something concrete about the "actual small businesses that have positive ROAS." You have any research to cite?

Keep in mind I'm talking about targeted advertising, not advertising in general.

How could this be - I was told our corporate overlords are able to do whatever they'd regarding kicking people off their platforms?

Whatever shall we do?

The funny thing about the whole "do bad things and get kicked off" strategy is that every platform has abusers. Since Big Tech can arbitrarily decide the thresholds and circumstances that lead to being kicked off, this effectively means they can kick anyone off for any reason.

Even on here, on Hacker News, if you dig deep enough I guarantee you can find questionable content (albeit probably downvoted) to justify deplatforming if you were tasked with deplatforming this site anyways.

I'd love to see some research about this from an unbiased source showing that targeted advertising produces great results in small businesses (<100 employees, or <5M revenue yearly).

Who makes that distinction?

I'd argue it's impossible to enact any change that would only hurt large businesses and not small/medium sized businesses.

Also, for niche products wouldn't keyword advertising be just as effective?

Yes

I wonder what percentage of Robinhood users hold GME - if it's more than 25% I'd say they're finished. If we assume 25% of users hold GME and 80% of GME holders will not return after this fiasco that's extremely significant IMO.

Not to say that they'll cease to exist, but I doubt they'll remain the "#1 trading platform."

That doesn't make any sense because they still allowed them to sell, realizing a loss. Why not stop buying and selling?

sure, but what's the point of complaining about it? if enough people flag it will go away. so just flag and move on.

I've been pretty skeptical on the whole game streaming thing until I installed moonlight and tried it out myself on my android device - it works surprisingly well on LAN.

I wonder if it's possible to play a local multiplayer game using this/parsec or moonlight. I'd love to set it up such that I could play something like Unreal Tournment split screen with two different people in two different locations streaming the same game to both devices and using our controllers are separate inputs on the same computer.

Why not count inheritance? What’s the point of this exercise?

EmberJS is probably the most stable of the frontend frameworks in that it's very internally consistent and opinionated. As far as the back-end goes, I think PHP, Rails and Django are all pretty stable, but I'm not familiar with the microsoft stack.

I highly doubt it - what are you basing this on? I personally don't know a single person who actually pays for discord. Most people I know who use Teamspeak pay for it. That being said, Discord is way more popular than Teamspeak, it does remain to be seen if they can heavily monetize.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the information.
