I have a theory:
- Bots don't show up as Linux, they spoof Chrome, iOS, etc.
- Since this service filters out bot traffic, it is removing non-Linux traffic.
- Hence, Linux share is actually much higher than is generally reported.
Clear the 'Desktop/Laptop' filter and it gives share on all platform types. I think the difference in numbers may be due to this service is measuring only browsing activity.
It also removes 21% of traffic detected as bots, so that may also have an effect.
My primary issue with Ethereum is the Turing-completeness.
The more capabilities a language has, the more likely it will be compromised. Complex contracts will continue to be exploited like the DAO, which will put a damper on Ethereum's growth.
Yeah, we figured this out (at least for Google) years ago. I ran a SAAS company that advertised heavily on Google for years. As time went on, the ROI dropped to almost zero. We really couldn't figure it out until we started to analyze what publishers were doing.
Publishers buy fake traffic from bot networks in order to generate more ad revenue. Almost all ad networks make an effort more or less to filter this traffic, but don't really do a great job. I'd say almost every ad network besides Google and Facebook are worse. There are ad networks that do not care at all what kind of traffic they host. I could name names but I don't want to get sued.
The counter-intuitive part of this is that no one in the ecosystem wants it stopped. What you say? Not even the advertisers? Yes, even the advertisers themselves rely on legacy incentives. For example, if your a buyer of digital advertising and your bonus is based on generating one million clicks to your site, guess what you're going to do to get that bonus - that's right - your going to buy shitty traffic on the cheap.
The bottom line is that digital advertising is horribly broken. Companies are getting totally ripped off and most of them aren't savvy enough to know it.
Think about how bad this is for the economy. Startups can't get off the ground via digital advertising anymore.
Anyway, last point - after getting robbed of a few hundred grand, we developed a product to detect fraudulent traffic integrated into ecommerce analytics:
Before I get accused of advertising - anyone that wants a free account from seeing this here contact [email protected] and we'll set you up. I really care more about fixing this nightmare than making money.
Speaking of defaults, if you install Mongo on EC2 using a default instance of Ubuntu using the default engine, Wired Tiger, you will get ceaseless server crashes. Wired Tiger is NOT STABLE on the default volume - ext4. You have to use xfs.
Steve Gibson will go into levels of detail that amaze me. The podcast on Rowhammer is a perfect example - down to the minute details of how VMs store memory pages...
A treatment for PTSD, called EMDR, involves trying to enhance the right/left communication in the brain. This is done by eye tracking back and forth from left to right. I personally know two people that this was effective on, but there is a lack of hard data on whether this works or not in general.
However, the PTSD specialist that worked with these two individuals suggested that running (and walking) long distances can create the same effect since the person is continually scanning the environment. This would alleviate PTSD symptoms plus anxiety and depression in her patients.
And of course, nothing stops an employer from harassing you legally.
I was working on a personal project once and it seemed to make sense to join it with another product from another company. We collaborated on the combination design, but never moved forward with it. I never joined the company and I was never compensated in any way. No joint product or code or anything was ever produced.
However, the CEO of that company threatened me with legal action when I joined a different company to implement what I was working on. He sent a cease and desist to me and the company. I had to retain a lawyer to fend that off. Luckily, the accusations were so ridiculous it wasn't hard.
