If there is money to be made those companies would make deals for data/ad-space, it’s just that they will do it in competition with other ad services and search services for example. That’s how a healthy market works, no? (Aside from the problematic data brokerage which is another issue)

And if they can’t survive that, then the business should probably not exist.

In that sense you could argue the market is “hurt” but I think consumers will benefit in the long run when competition can thrive, and monopolies do not exist.

Then the search company buy the ad service from the ad company, as all other search engines can then do as well. Isn’t that the point of breaking up a big company?

I’m a layman, but how is that harming the market?

I think the creator and writer of The Wire based the characters and plot in his experience as a journalist working for Baltimore Sun. Some characters are less fictional than others, but I think he wanted to depict and emphasize how the city works. So maybe not too far from the real Baltimore.

I think while some characters are plain shit persons, many characters have a lot of depth in them, making you feel and root for them despite being the “bad guys”.

It also shows that doing what would be considered “right” will not always work out for you.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

It’s Markdown, which is a a fairly standard and minimalistic formatting syntax.

So you browse the web without css? Now that’s old school!

I find it kind of funny that your shared link url contain tracking parameters.

Why should we give advertisers any data at all, I don’t get it? I agree it’s better than how tracking is being done today, but why create a tool to distribute information about my behavior across different sites (yes, anonymized)?

Yeah, strange design choice since the other buttons in theUI are not pill shaped.

Aside from that things look very nice.

Ah, that makes sense

Yeah, pretty much as Flex at 97% which is a nice comparison.

Edit: See mattd’s comment

Have a look at the MDN link about the Nav tag. MDN is probably the best source on html standard, aside from reading the W3C html spec.

There you’ll see that the main example is using an unordered list. There is another example explicitly saying you don’t have to use a list in a nav tag.

I’d say your coworker might know what they are talking about.

Have you tried discussing this with ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity? I’ve found it extremely helpful for getting started, and exploring different options.

Why is that?
