It looks like their traffic has been fairly flat. I'd guess just over 1,000 unique users a day based on their Alexa rating, and a number of sites I run for comparison numbers. At the peak of their popularity, it would…
I went to a store in my city that just opened a few weeks ago. They advertise as being paperless and cash free, and only accept debit/credit. I think it's the first time I went to a store that refused cash.
Header bidding. You sign up with a number of popular bidders (OpenX, AppNexus, Rubicon, AOL, Criteo, Sovrn, etc), and they all bid against each other in real-time. You then relay that bid to AdX/AdSense, and Google…
I've spent a couple of years in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. All of those countries are incredibly safe. The worst that ever happened was a couple of taxi drivers…
It's good for advertising. For example, Facebook analyzes all of your photos, and realizes there are a high number of images with sailboats. That means you might have an interest in sailing, travel offers, or outdoor…
I'd focus on better understanding an AWS workflow, and use the credits to cover those small fees that are going to add up during your experimentation and testing. For example... Setup a web server, and database server…
Personally, I don't like it. As for positives, I think you achieved your goal with the design and interface. It's clear what you were trying to accomplish, and aside from a couple of minor issues, it works, and you…
Could you explain why you think you're in a good position? From what I understand, the comments are owned by the users, and by posting them to IMDb, they allowed IMDb and their affiliates the right to use them. The…
How many times has WhatsApp been blocked in Brazil? What's your advice for those 100 million users when it stops working? Switch to another centralized messenger, and convince their friends and family members around the…
It's a strong community of users, so I'm going to try the donation route soon, with bonuses for donators. I tried having someone well connected in my industry directly sell advertising campaigns. They were able to…
Does anyone else here make their living from advertising? Well over 50% of my users run ad block. I get 1.5 million page views a day on my primary site (4,000 Alexa), and the advertisements cover my AWS bill, and pay me…
Brave should collect the bitcoin payments, but only pay the site owner when no advertisements or third-party tracking is found on their website for the past month. If the conditions are not met, then the bitcoins are…
If it's backups, you could just encrypt everything prior to uploading.
Abandonware.
I think Uber has a huge advantage. If you start a new transportation service in NYC, Uber can just flip a switch, undercut your NYC prices by $2 per ride, and make up the difference by raising prices $0.10 per ride in…
That's simply not true. Take a look at Google maps and you'll realize the vast majority of residential high rises are actually filled with equipment, huge fans, loud air-conditioners and empty space. Most have terraces…
Cities seem like the easiest challenge to tackle. Amazon could work with commercial and residential high rises and put a dock on their rooftops. So, the drone approaches the building rooftop, puts the package in the…
At a lot of grocery stores in Europe, you weigh and tag your own produce. Basically you put your bananas in a plastic bag, set them on the scale in the produce section, and push the number for bananas or select them on…
It was using a calling card, so I needed to dial the local calling card number, type in my prepaid ID, and then the destination number. So, although the destination number was Australia, the issue occurred somewhere en…
Yep, it was a cheap prepaid card from an Asian grocery store, so it just deducted the connection fee + minutes. I can't remember the cost, but it was likely less than a dollar for the call. I guess if you're hijacking…
I have a related story. I was in North America, looking for an apartment in Australia. At the time I'd buy phone cards for long distance calls, and they'd always work fine. So, I used the phone card, and tried to call…
I think so too. In the past, I'd get frequent DDOS attacks against my site, and the dedicated hosts I was with would null route my account, or tell me to take a hike, even though I was paying them $1k+/mo. I switched to…
I use a CDN for js/css/fonts/images, but the $270/mo is the bandwidth for the gzipped HTML going out from the web servers.
Let me get this straight, right now AWS is billing me $270/mo for 3TB of bandwidth on my autoscaling web servers. With LightSail, I can get that same bandwidth, plus storage and instances for $15/mo? In total, I'm…
I thought the same, but it turns out you need to type a word into that input box to see the logos. The words scrolling are just examples you could type.
