We’ve finished digitizing all of the The Famous Computer Cafe tapes. In the end, we recovered 52 1/2 episodes, a perfect time capsule of the world of microcomputing spanning November 17 1984 through July 12, 1985. They’re at archive.org/details/famous-com…
Hundreds more episodes are still lost, so keep an eye out in the world for more Famous Computer Cafe tapes: they’re on 10.5” NAB reel-to-reel tapes, and may still be in or around the Los Angeles area.
Newly added episodes:
John Shirley, who was president of Microsoft. He died in 2013.
John Reese, head of Tronix and Monogram Software, talking about home banking and “Dollars and Sense” software.
A banger of an episode with journalist Steven Levy (author of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution); Sid Meier of Microprose, talking about F-15 Strike Eagle); and Dave Johnson of IBM, discussing voice response systems.
Christopher Miles of Crystal Network, which was some sort of online service that I couldn’t get my head around.

$700bn delusion: Does using data to target specific audiences make advertising more effective? Latest studies suggest not | Mi3
Ever wondered how come martech is a US$700bn industry, but the ads you see are still crap? Clue – it's because the data foundations are crap, says Brand Traction's Jon Bradshaw.www.mi-3.com.au
This doesn't align with intuition nor with prior research, which makes me extremely suspicious.
It might be true for some pieces of content, but it's hard to define contextual for e.g. a Taylor Swift song or "Game of Thrones", and a lot of content we consume on the internet is exactly of this nature.
@miki It’s indeed difficult to define. But in essence, you don’t have to match the context of every piece of content ads are shown next to but rather the context of the location. See:

A new “continuous sidewalk” in #Kitchener. The design differs from regular sidewalks in that it doesn’t dip down to road level at intersections. It continues at an uninterrupted height. This slows cars turning onto the street + reinforces pedestrian priority through the intersections. Same at the driveways, so you don’t get the up-down “roller coaster effect” when you’re #walking, #cycling or using a wheelchair.

1) Jsem rád že máte také rád ježky ve městě,
2) trochu vám závidím váš mobil, skvěle fotí,
3) jak je vidět můj mobil fotí na dálku hůře než váš, ale pozice mého ježka je zajímavější a v neposlední řadě také zábavnější, to musíte uznat. Měl takový hlad že vlezl do nádoby s jídlem a možná se zakousl i do ní.😊
4) Můj ježek je z Vršovic.
5) Člověku který má rád ježky nelze přát nic jiného než dobro - a proto přeji vše dobré. 🙂
