  1. Re:I HATE advertisements! on HTC Introduces Eye-Tracking 'VR Ad Service' (pcgamer.com) · · Score: 2

    Never ever forget targeted ads are actually a scam. The advertising was targeted but it was not targeted at end users, it was targeted at advertisers. Reality of targeted advertising;

    1. Search for new car
    2. Buy new car based upon specs and price
    3. Data miner recognises you 'WERE' looking for a new car.
    4. Where the fuck are all the stupid car ads coming from, I just bought a car why the fuck would I buy another one.
    5. Convince advertisers this works.
    6. Profit (until the advertisers go broke targeting ads at people after they have bought products).

    Targeted ads, should have only ever been targeted at content ie common fucking sense, it is what people are interested in at the fucking time, for fuck sake. Targeting ads at what people were interested in, is fucking stupid but a great scam from which Google et al make a ton of money, targeting their advertising at advertisers and just pretending to target end users.

    That is not enough. You must also do exactly what they do in spy vs spy, scenarios, misinformation should be core for protecting your privacy as well as everyone else's. Two tools https://adnauseam.io/ to create a plethora of fake clicks to poison data bases and http://www.cs.nyu.edu/trackmen... to copy search data miners.

    Never ever forget email, now it is wide open in the US and unfortunately you should never ever use ISP provided email any more, no mention of that and for good reason because yes the new law is akin to allowing the postal service to open and scam all snail mail, including packages.

    So in every facet of human digital communications, digital misinformation apps are required to run in the background flooding bullshit invasions of privacy with bullshit digital data, orders of magnitude greater than what is actually produce by real people. No channel should be left untouched free of data miner toxins, poison their invasion of privacy, in the interim, whilst of course kicking the fuckers out of government who sold you privacy.

    There are a range of modes of thought to suit the range of tasks within cooperative human society.

Don't worry, just keep bashing harder on that hammer as you drive square pegs into round holes, bash hard enough and you can drive the broken pieces of that square peg straight through that round hole.

    Yes, I know, we must all live according to the main stream media marketing meme lives, consume beyond all reason, poseur status is life, narcissism is core, rich is god and poor is evil (along with a broad range of sexual perversions).

  13. The stagnation is a temporary thing, mainly due to the government taking no significant action to avert it, preferring to just do their get rich quick buddies favours for favours at election time. Right now Japan is also stagnating, so a smart move would be for both countries to work together to stimulate each others economies ie big step, open borders (well, not that big, neither Japanese nor Australians are big on emigration), which would open up access to both countries to each others consumers, a really beneficial partnership as each of them supplies exactly what the other needs.

    Sometimes you really have to think outside of the box, with both countries in similar time zones for communications efficiency but in opposite seasons for crop supplies, makes for good trade and tourism. Then the is the resources and heavy industries trading with tertiary industries and all tied together by balanced long term labour exchange.

    Not about competing with each other but joining together to gain considerable economic advantage against the rest of the world and striving to push ahead each others economy. Better to compete smart, than race like a greedy moron to the bottom and socio-economic collapse. Security against the predations of the US and China would also play into it.

  18. Technically it is both the smallest and largest payout for the artist 'cough' 'cough' drunken drugged up minstrel (lets drop the music marketing bullshit, music geeks is the reality). It depends whether or not the music geek sells via a publisher or sells direct.

    Why the big hate on streaming and direct sales, the publishers are forced to compete with artists content they no longer own. The publishers want nothing but new artist content (new artists in the case being the best at BJs in limos), with by far the majority of income going to the publisher. Once a real artists breaks free, they compete against the publisher and their stable of one hit wonders who are better at BJs than they are a creating music.

    It is that competition the publishers hate because they can no longer sell the over hyped, over marketed, crap produced by the one hit wonders and the publishers lose all their profits. The real skilled music geeks of course can now self publish and do so for the rest of their lives free from the disgusting pawing lusts and smelly genitals of music publishers as well as their never ending greed.

    Some music geeks still ride delusionally high on the marketing like melonhead or mad madonna et al but most have settled back down to earth and a doing reasonably well direct publishing (which of course the publishers are fighting fang and claw).

    Suck it up, Amazon will kill Wallmart dead, but not necessarily a bad thing. Basically Amazon delivery will take the majority of Wall mart customers by being the same price or just a bit dearer, they definitely do not have to be cheaper because they deliver and you shop online in your own time at your own pace. I generally shop Sunday afternoons (If something interrupts maybe out to Monday or Tuesday), going through the specials, all online and get delivered latter in the week, when it is convenient (bulk shop, I also walk to a local grocery store for more regular items, bread, milk, eggs et al).

    The not bad thing about dead Wallmart, the small and mid sized stores will come back, why because of the, 'I want it now', generation. I also shop online at many other times but I don't buy. Regular deliveries from a regular place are cool but waiting to find out whether or not what you get what you ordered from an unknown or irregular place, not so cool. So shop online but buy in now at a click and mortar store, close and reasonably price (no qualms about paying extra for convenience) but I know exactly what I am getting it and if there is a problem, I can take it right back ie bought a bunch of usb hard disks as presents, filled them, one didn't work, meh, store a close drive, swapped it over and come back home, no muss, no fuss, exchange occurred with 30 minutes of discovery of fault.

    So mom and pop local store for all the I want now and want to get what I can see and if I need to, I can take it back now and get a refund now or a replacement now. That and regular orders and deliveries. So for me screw a store like Wallmart. Amazon delivery in conjunction with local store shopping would work the best for me (that includes shopping at those stores on they way to other places or the way home from other places).

    Shopping online for everything and waiting for delivery is a pain, for bulk groceries it is more fun, you know, trying out all the specials, which I would never do in store. For the other stuff, I would rather know exactly whom (as in a person) I am dealing with and being served now, it is worth paying extra for it, how much, say between 10% to 20%(I am quite comfortable with that and getting the convenience of service, plus I like people not that I want to spend too much time with them but I do like them).
