The BBC report cited mainly focused on the marketing industry, with the fixing mistake people being the copywriters. This gives a strong vibe of Madman, where you have the “old-fashioned” copywriters and the tension between market research.

By story logic, the henchmen really weren’t “true people”, but metaphors for environment difficulties. For example, a young adult watching superhero comics would think of homeworks, social media negativities, etc.

Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

I’d say it’s more like unplugged running…wait a minute…

That’s the boogaloo? I’ve heard so much about the scooter for two, electric boogaloo.

That’s agile for you.

You forgot the biggest one:

Made with Memetic

their whole economy is built upon rat fighting tho

Yes. It’s from the coin machine that sells a random toy in capsule. Gacha is the clicking sound that machine makes when you turn the button to get a capsule.

Not as incredible if you consider WW2 as “Jewish rights enforced by tanks”?

First ever peek of Hearts of Iron 5.

Probably just investor activists floating the idea to test the water. They’ve been wanting to sell Intel for parts since the bad quarter and Pat (former CEO) being evicted is part of this plan.

No problem, sir. Whose blood should I spill?

They’re pretty happy to comply with censorship in China though.

Seems like the user tracking “special promotion” overrides the premium. They don’t even say whether it’s expected or not. But my take away is that paying for premium may or may not show you ads, but you are definitely tracked and harvested for data. (Maybe even more so, since, well, you are more valuable to them.)

Looking through the first one’s content and it seems reasonable? The patent’s abstract is supposed to be as widely applicable as legally permitted, so it’s like a completely different language on top of legalese.

From my understanding, MV3 kills vital features of ad-blockers in that

1. Some filtering rules do rely on the ability to read the content of the webpage, which can’t be migrated, per the FAQ linked in the article
2. The declarative API means an update to the rules requires an update to the plugin itself, which might get delayed by the reviewing process, causing the blocker to lag behind the tracker. It might not be able to recover as quickly as uBO in the recent YouTube catch-up round.
