@BradAT @decaffeinateddd Thanks for the feedback Brad! Glad you liked it

I was just catching up on @mikeosullivan and @decaffeinateddd's podcast which goes refreshingly deep into the architecture of AdTech with Magnite's CTO. Great stories and insights incl why triage is usually better than rewriting. Worth a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/5OzGFG…

@omoteurax @Pogue Wow, they should have had you on the show.

@JonathanMoffie Would love any suggestions on other guests to have on

Loved hearing our CTO Dave on @mikeosullivan’s new pod. Great conversation that gets into the technical weeds of building in AdTech. Best quote from a former founder: “When stuff is broken at big companies, you can spend forever debating the pros and cons of how to fix it, when you should just get after it.”

@JonathanMoffie Glad you liked it!

@BradAT How does it put PubDesk and OpenAds on a “DOA” list?

My biggest concern with the latest TTD drama is that it puts OpenAds and PubDesk on the DOA list. I sincerely hope not as they would have been great tools for Pubs.

@BradAT There's also a suggestion that the platonic ideal of the web is plain text web pages. That might appeal to a small sliver of the population (including yours truly!) but are the masses consuming streaming TV, Reels/Tiktok and similar complaining about "ugh this video was 90 mbs"?

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

@marketecturetv @brianwieser Im not sure why any (not enumerated) missteps are attributed to suppression of dissent? Could TTD do things better? For sure! Always open to hearing feedback + thoughts, but Ventura is not the Kremlin

Advertising is growing way faster than GDP. Why is that? We ask @brianwieser about this and what TTD should be doing. Link below 👇

‼️A German hacker known as "Martha Root" dressed as a pink Power Ranger and deleted a white supremacist dating website live onstage This happened during the recent CCC conference. Martha had infiltrated the site, ran her own AI chatbot to extract as much information from users as possible, and downloaded every profile. She also uncovered the owner of the site. She has published all of the data.

@ChadMoran @SnazzyLabs They did? I didn’t see any news about that. I thought R1 gen 2 and R2 both had the electric handles in the back.

@SnazzyLabs I'm glad they walked this back for R2.

Fun fact: Rivian told at the R1T unveil event that they specifically went with manual door releases because they (and surveyed customers) believed the electronic releases found in Teslas are terrible (they are). Then with gen 2, they gave in and now customers have to do this.

It's 2013, Kanye West is on the Yeezus tour, stops by the Hoxton in Toronto, Drake pops up, the rest is history. x.com/skyyhh/status/…

That Portlandia/Foursquare/Groupon period of the post-GFC era feels like 50 years ago.

Neighbors say a nonstop disco ball in a window on West 86th Street is causing "extreme disruption" for residents across the block. "We have tried contacting the non-emergency police number, and they said there’s nothing they can do about it because no law is being broken."
