This is the premise of "Delta Innovation Class"[0].

I think showing an ad for a bingo card creator when Ethyl Smith searches for one is the perfect (and original) mechanism for targeted ads.

What I worry about is Ethyl Smith's emails / chats / SMSs (via hangout) / location and map searches &c. all being collected for the sole purpose of showing her the perfect targeted ad.

I don't see anything wrong with this type of advertising and I appreciate where you're coming from.

But, ignoring the issue whether most ads are like this or hyper-tuned to psychologically trick you into consuming goods you can't afford, there seems to be another issue here, separate from the parent.

The advertising industry seems to be the biggest pushers of big-data collect-all-you-can-because-you-may-need-it-someday. This automatically erodes privacy for everyone.

For you to have reached that many teachers on such a budget, I assume all this collected data helped immensely, but at what cost?

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

This site[0] bills itself as "The definitive listing of Static Site Generators — all 242 of them!"

There, that should make your life much harder! :)

I just wanted to chime in here to thank you for this. I found it very helpful, even after I did the CodeSchool course.

This is not an endorsement (or not) for blogs that rely on JS, but apparently 98.6% of screenreader users have javascript enabled.[0]

This thread is getting complicating to follow.

> Whitelisting is free for all small- and medium websites and blogs. However, managing this list requires significant effort on our side and this task cannot be completely taken over by volunteers as it happens with common filter lists. That's why we are being paid by some larger properties that serve non-intrusive advertisements that want to participate in the Acceptable Ads initiative.

No room for abuse there. /s :)

Yes, CH varies quite a bit, and you can find a 1br for > $2200 tbh.

ABP for Chrome has the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" flag for precisely this reason: to reward creators who use ads deemed "acceptable".

This flag is checked by default.

'[Wayne Gretzky's father] Walter taught Wayne, Keith, Brent, Glen and their friends hockey on a rink he made in the back yard of the family home, nicknamed the "Wally Coliseum". Drills included skating around Javex bleach bottles and tin cans, and flipping pucks over scattered hockey sticks to be able to pick up the puck again in full flight. Additionally, Walter gave the advice to "skate where the puck's going, not where it's been"'[0]
