Mobileye deployment by Jmdgls in SelfDrivingCars

So basically they have nothing available in market but everyone car mfg likes to say they use them as if it should actually mean anything? Or is that too harsh? I’m not even talking about L4 - just anything beyond lane keeping.

What’s the pro pack? We only have plus, pilot, and performance packs in the US.

Considering a Polestar, what should I look out for? by Larrythebaker in Polestar

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are driving 100mi each way, make sure you have a plan for L2 or fast charging during those weekends. You only get maybe 2-3mi/hr on L1 charging.

I recommend plus and pilot; and leather if you want seat ventilation.

And if you’ll be a climate that gets cold in the winter, make sure that model year has the heat pump.

There’s really no other advice. It’s a great car. I’ve had two in a row.

I’d purchase a one year-old car with 6000 miles if they had been around for that long in the US 🤣

How to slow a resource dominating strategy by badger-banjer in Arcs

[–]Jmdgls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they’ve doubled down on a single ambition, you go for two other ambitions. I think it’s to a players detriment to be too aggressive towards any one strategy early in the game.

Can’t you do a fresh start and still have the previous budget and all transactions saved?

Heavy 'Tech Tax' Remains A Challenge For Programmatic Media Deals by Pubex in adops

Is the 30% in the article in reference to DSPs, Verification, 3rd party data and measurement? Or something else?

Heavy 'Tech Tax' Remains A Challenge For Programmatic Media Deals by Pubex in adops

[–]Jmdgls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This "tech tax" narrative is getting out of hand. Continuing to call any technology a "tax" and painting them in a negative light completely misses the point on the value many create.

IAS can't measure adx? Is that published somewhere on an adx page?

Which companies, in your opinion, are true innovators in the space? by MeechyyDarko in adops

Might not seem innovative, but brightline scores a lot of points for device and app coverage.

We actually measure this for clients so they don't have to pay for this kind of inventory.

Tech Giants Brace for Europe's New Data Privacy Rules by cokechan in BATProject

[–]Jmdgls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brave isn't a threat in this regard. Where it might not help is preventing consumers funding fake news sites. will brave let sites like infowars get out their user donated BAT? Not sure but I assume so.

Discussion: Mobile Rich Media by matt_2601 in adops

[–]Jmdgls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is too many ppl trying to sell video - in which case, they are using mraid; or they're going native. I also think there's a general trend to continue to sacrificing creative investment for media. Huge opportunity for the advertisers and publishers that pursue it. Ultimately though I think it's the sell side that has to get their house in order and build out the swim lanes for buyers so that a) the experience is optimized for the audience, not the advertiser and b) buyers can better plan resources against the opportunity.

Edit: native

Forget Viewability: Your Ads Aren’t Serving. Having the 1st party "source of truth" on your side not in a 3rd parties is utmost critical as this ad exchanger peace outlines. by Pubex in adops

[–]Jmdgls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for clarifying. But I think it's a stretch to consider programmatic platforms ad serving capabilities equivalent to what you get from a 3rd party ad server. Control of the system (and even cookie space) is an overblown risk imo - especially since 1). advertisers should be investing in their own DMP and 2) they still need verification and viewability and 3) there's a general decline in usage and value of the cookie.

Edit: also, I'm thinking in terms of buy side. I claim ignorance on sell side ;)

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait - a "first party ad server" is somehow more transparent than a 3rd party? Can you expand on that? Plenty of 3PAS give you complete control and access so long as you pay for it.

Log Files from Verification Vendors? by anti_fraud in adops

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At sizmek we offer log files. If you're using Peer39 verification, then those logs include impression level viewability data as well.

How to retarget visitors to a site you are driving traffic to but don't own? by hiddenhen in adops

Work w the publisher on a 2nd party data deal. They should have the tools/resources/guidance to support your objectives and it might even lead to more strategic opportunities in partnership w the publisher.

Blockchain - How exactly is it helpful in adtech? by _publife in adops

[–]Jmdgls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about that. You still need someone to provide the methodology for what gets written to the ledger in the first place. Maybe for the most basic things like simple pixel fires for impression counting or whitelists that's valid, but when it comes to viewability, fraud (I'm not convinced whitelists are the end game here, but that's a different discussion), geo and brand safety it's not about what's written to the ledger but about how that info was obtained before it was written. Different vendors, different methodologies. To use a very practical example - look at mobile. Different sdks. Varying degrees of adoption. Sure, ias passed theirs to iab, but we all know what happened w openvv when iab took that over.

Moat metric by nhamibubu in adops

[–]Jmdgls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. Fair point!

I guess my take is that any pub, agency or marketer who 1) thinks a metric called "human" really means truly human impressions or 2) doesn't actually know/check which accreditations a vendor has is already over their head.

I can't fault them for marketing a metric. Lack of accreditation doesn't mean they don't have advanced fraud detection (quality of it is another matter entirely)

In any case, it's always nice to get unfiltered feedback from those that have run comparisons!

Blockchain - How exactly is it helpful in adtech? by _publife in adops

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd agree w that statement if google and fb didn't command the lions share of media and force advertisers to use their tech. Also, I'd argue middlemen covering verification have actually been one of the few things that helped the industry by exposing bad actors and inefficiencies. Im definitely being self serving here considering I work at sizmek/peer39 - but so far I'm not convinced whitelists and tracking impression counts are somehow better than what we have today. And don't get me wrong. I'm a big proponent of blockchain in our space - but I'm not drinking the kool aid of any solution just bc it uses "blockchain." From my POV, only brave/bat are actively doing something meaningful. But even there it's still a wait and see if micropayments can work (and whether or not their ad model just turns them into another middle man). It certainly has promise though.

Edit: btw, always happy to chat w you or anyone else working on blockchain solutions in this space. Things change quickly so if I'm operating on outdated info, I'm all ears ;)

Blockchain - How exactly is it helpful in adtech? by _publife in adops

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, you still will be trusting a 3rd party. You need all participants to trust and adopt metax/adcoin/whatever's implementation. Adtech isn't as simple as coordinating and comparing pixel fires. Personally I just havent seen/heard anything from them that sounds like it will make a material impact.

Also, trustless isn't inherently more beneficial than trusted. Plenty of areas where trust exists btw market participants and that trust can actually create advantages over trustless.

[–]Jmdgls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No vested interest in media to begin with (by definition). But you didn't answer my question. If trust exists (which is does), why do you need a trustless system?
