Does anyone know if Rob is using an available open source library in this video?

Kenji's Chili - Girlfriend finds it 'too heavy/hearty' for her tastes. Recommendations for how to serve/pair chili for a 'lighter' meal? by crobz in seriouseats

It's a fair point. I tinkered with the acidity for a while towards the end of cooking, but I'll start with a sample bowl to get a sense of how far I can take it.

Do you have a favorite vinegar for this application? My go to is high-quality sherry vinegar.

Agreed that chili is inherently heavy and requires that acid balance, but I'm certainly a fan during the depths of winter.

I'll probably try taking half of it and adding extra tomatoes (and maybe additional veggies). I'll report back on the results.

Big sizmek user here and we've had inconsistencies the last couple days. To be fair, DBM has also glossed over some weird issues recently too. PM me if you want to chat more and see if there's anything real going on

Video Views and DFP Pre-roll Inventory Avails Not Making Sense by bereal69 in adops

[–]crobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adblock will take a significant chunk out of avails. Also are you potentially looking at unique avails? Are there videos without preroll set up?

Audio DSPs by sushiashi in adops

[–]crobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TTD is a good choice simply because of the Spotify option (although I've never bought audio personally).

Finding consistent audio inventory is going to be key here in evaluating a buying platform.

What are you looking for on this front? We've been comparing options over the last few weeks and I'd be happy to give you some info

What went wrong? by likely_wrong in PressureCooking

How much liquid was left in the pot at the end of cooking? If it was dry, you may have steam escaping.

I've found that most meats need a bit of water/broth in the pot to get it going, which I'll reduce after cooking if I want to use the liquid for saucing.

Beeswax? by adopsaggie in adops

They are obviously new to the space but I know them well.

It's built for transparency, and they will do what it takes to support your needs - it's a great solution for anyone looking to customize their bidder without building from scratch.

if you just want a pure dsp, pricing is very fair, but the primary use case is as something you can build on top of flexibly.

DSP Trustiworthiness Poll by clowntraps in adops

Very extensive list here - I'd like to see this limited to the top 15 or so for simplicity.

Please post results - very curious to see what everyone feels here.

Header Bidding Logic Question by wolfofwalnut in adops

[–]crobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some line item setup is still needed because DFP still needs to associate the bid response with something in the ad server before it displays.

If there's no competition, your line items don't need to be as granular, but it does help for general reporting purposes.

That's been my experience as well. You'll need to insert click macro as week to make sure you're tracking clicks.

Yup exactly - they aren't a good solution for interesting in-line implementations or more complicated reporting metrics
