The gas cylinder gave out in my 6-year-old @hermanmiller.com chair and they were nice enough to send me a whole new one under warranty. That’s pretty great.

Matt Elliott: Yes, tech can be a force for good. Meet the people hacking Toronto for the better The volunteers who created the Civic Dashboard and BikeSpace apps this weekend mark their 10th anniversary of brainstorming and tech development with a two-day event called Civic Spark.

My @thestar.com column this week: Civic Tech in Toronto turns ten!

A look at some of the people getting together each week to hack away at our problems via @civictechto.bsky.social β€” and what City Hall could be doing to support their work.

Incredible how basically all the information on the internet about how to wash a baseball hat is wrong.

I think those are still just two treatments a week apartβ€”and afaik (with one kid in daycare another headed to grade 2) they work pretty well.

β€œGiven that the drugs don’t work, the only viable debugging option is mechanical removal and surveillance” this statement seems ignore the modern class of silicone lubricant treatments like Nyda?

Any firm with an half-decent identity graph is going to have some collection of MAIDs mapped to (unsalted) HEMs, right? The leap from there to socials isn’t all that far.

Supply side benefits from this failureβ€”incentives aren’t aligned. Helping advertisers set the tags right means fewer impression sold and less auction competition for each impression so lower CPMs.

CTV ads are awesome, especially midrolls in premium content. Unfortunately, attribution is very difficultβ€”presumably TTD will fix that. This could be very good for both publishers and advertisers.

Netflix and MVP's Paul vs Tyson Record-Breaking Viewership Numbers 60 million households watched the Paul vs. Tyson main event live around the world, peaking at 65 million concurrent streams. Nearly 50 million households global

They’re saying 60-million household watched the fight this past weekend? Serving dynamic, live video ads into that size audience would be an absolutely blastβ€”hope to see more of that audience scale in the future!

I underestimated how disruptive DAI can be for premium video programmatic ad buying. Who’s going to fix it?

I live as rural as it getsβ€”my neighbours are a dairy farm, a sheep farm and a whole bunch of hayfields. Yet, Amazon delivers next day even on the weekend.

My kiddo loves these streams and they get millions of views on every video. Meanwhile I find it absolutely grating to watch, gives me a headache.
