- Comment on USA | California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars 1 month ago:
I generally liked Scott Weiner’s legislation but am glad this bill was vetoed.
My RAV4 already detects the limit sign, displays the posted speed on the dash, and turns that limit red when traveling 10 over. It makes me aware of what the limit is without a distracting beep that could be confused with other warnings already implemented like rapidly slowing traffic ahead.
Safety Saturation is a real thing. If the car starts beeping for going with the flow of a traffic then drivers just start ignoring them all.

85% of the funding was provided by the European Union. It was one of Croatia’s main stipulations for joining the EU.
A Chinese state owned company did win the contract to build the bridge.

- Comment on Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds 3 months ago:
I went from an 07 Escape to a 2023 RAV4. The thing just won’t shut the fuck up. Mike any kinda of parking the detection beeps. Console software is annoying.
Miss my relatively dumb car.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
If they are trying to monetize popular NSFW subs they cannot monetize with ads, a paywall would probably just kill the engagement.
If they are trying to compete with OnlyFans and rev share with the sub creator I could maybe see that working.

And then there’s the third, even weirder type. Mongo matter
- Comment on BBC: Extending our Mastodon social media trial 9 months ago:
Scale. It’s a better quality audience but executives like BIG NUMBERS to make the juice worth the squeeze.
I think the investment supporting is worth it in the long run! Traditional social is basically a shitty rev share to reach a larger audience.
- Comment on Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’” 9 months ago:
Limited view tickets were $1500 a piece when TS came to Levi stadium. Bonkers
- Comment on Can't even buy chicken in peace 9 months ago:
Agreed a paid conversion is always much more profitable than the aggregate ad rev/tracking benefit per thousand.
It’s bizarre to produce this message on a product site designed to sell direct.

What’s the identifier referenced in the IMDB database? Some kind of unique content id?
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
I think doing that with programmatic ads would be difficult. Maybe hard coding a specific creative would be feasible.

God dammit.
- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
I would like to imagine a world where site advertising was reasonable. Ad blockers don’t exist, sites advertise 1 or 2 banners at $3-5 CPM and everyone gets paid and consumes content in synchrony. It won’t happen. Advertising is setup for ad blocking audiences and iOS cookieless environments. Everyone else subsidizes by viewing the myriad of placements splattered all over the page.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
This is true, but they have your encrypted vault, and all the technical data to make unlimited informed attempts at cracking it. If you used LastPass, you definitely need to be changing passwords for your critical services at a minimum.
