Does anyone know any free/open-source alternatives to Charles? The closest I could find was this [0] but it doesn't look like it can throttle connections for specific hosts
> If the wives are making more money and have more prospects and opportunities for advancement over their spouse - the spouse should theoretically be willing to agree to be the one who makes the sacrifice when surprise child-related stuff pops up.
Why are we assuming all these women are co-habitating or married? I don't want to sound like I'm attacking anyone, just curious.
There is a similar line of thinking for audio engineers who do a final mix/master of music before it is sent off to radio, streaming platforms, etc.
After spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on expensive sound systems and professional speakers, engineers realized the average users listen to their music through inexpensive mediums. A cheap pair of headphones, a small bluetooth speaker, or even laptop speakers. They rarely listen to their music through mediums where the full audio spectrum is present, so in order for an engineer to get a mix that translates well across all mediums, they do their final mixes and tweaks on devices like a pair of apple earpods, or a more famous example, the Yamaha NS-10 [0].
The line of reasoning being: if you can get it to sound good on a basic speaker, it will sound great on high end systems, which is a win-win!
When I see things like this I think of the average user who may not be technically savy enough to implement this type of configuration. If Google blocks things like uBlock origin and ABP, how can we help less tech-savy users have an ad-free experience?
> The hackers used malicious software sent via email to SEC employees. Then, after planting the software on the SEC computers, they sent the information they were able to gather from the EDGAR system to servers in Lithuania, where they either used it or distributed the data to other criminals, Carpenito said.
I currently handle digital advertising at a company that is heavily reliant on Facebook Ads. I've worked with this company nearly 3 years, and we got a call from the Facebook Ads team for the first time ever, around September of this year.
They called under the pretense of 'making sure we were utilizing the full potential of their ads manager' but after about 2 or 3 phone calls with them, my manager and I caught on to their angle.
Their suggestions over these phone calls were for us to test out all of these new features and 'creatives' they were adding to the Ads platform. Testing these new features and methods costs money, and what we had spent years tweaking and perfecting was actually working just fine.
Essentially they were targeting us because we had around $XX,XXX in annual ad spend, which probably put us in some Small - Medium business category where they felt they could extract more ad dollars from us.
It definitely smells like they are desperate for revenue and I can only imagine what they're Ads (read: Sales) teams are pushing to marketers at Enterprise levels with millions in ad spend on FB.
As a Web Dev I am split on a movement like this. I understand the need for users to control what data they allow companies to have on them, but if other browsers do not follow suit, what will that mean for deployment and making sites consistent across browsers? If Firefox is blocking popular libraries or scripts that end up breaking some webpages the user experience still suffers
Yes, I agree here and you would not be losing much with the added effort. power users are already more likely to dig into most software/s and tweak settings so it is a win-win
