She's generally average from what I've heard amongst my friends. Not a slam dunk but not stumbling over herself. I think she'll really have to prove herself and release a strong platform to sway any voters. The good news is that a decent number of people are going to vote for her just because she's not Trump.

I suspect the real problem for some Americans will be a woman as president...which is just about how screwed America is right now.

Pretty notably she doesn't have any big skeletons in her closet (that I know of at least) that Republicans can latch on to and create drama over.

Forums and websites have always used content to market things (think DAU or visitors to sell more expensive banner ads at the top of a post).

I agree that forum hosts were (mostly) random people that wanted to do something for their community, but monetization didn't kill the friendly Internet, consolidation did.

I find the exact same thing. I always use an alias when signing up for some stupid parking app or new healthcare system that I can't avoid and I've surprisingly never seen the aliases being re-used by anybody but them.

I was expecting at least a data breach, but it's been clean for the past 10 yrs or so.

It's possible data brokers are just good at stripping whatever is behind the "+" though.

Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS

Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.

Wow, Dailymotion still exists! And they redesigned their website!

Do people ever post real content there....? I'm concerned if so

What did you prefer? Lenovo?

Basic economy will eventually only let you select any ad in their library. Actual content is for regular economy passengers only!

It's truly amazing....they must stand at the front of meetings and just ask "how do we make our passengers hate us most?"

Maybe I don't understand the economics of this move, but are they really going to make that much more money from targeted ads? If it's double the price, I assume it's worth it, but if it's a ~10% gain it's just dumb.

The "article" is like 100 words and just restates the title in more words.

Maybe the only information it adds is that they won't target passengers under 18

The funny thing about this ad is that it's already lodged deep in my brain and anytime someone says they have a headache I think about it
