funshed··on My site was disallowed from advertising on Google when using Matomo analytics
Do new AdWords accounts have stricter checks? This was brand new.

It's true for me.

This is happened today.. (I later found out that it also was an issue in 2019)

I have found that matamo has server side logging, so will be replaceing the Javascript with that. Which is more work on my part but i think a better solution.

It's fair to think "dont be evil" Google would not and it was flagged erroneously. Yet history shows this has been an issue since 2019 and was said to be resolved in 2020. Though apparently not (or it was rolled back).

Though to be clear the "not allowed" was a response to the reply that it was links to a Google Analystics Competitor. That may well be down to further training being required but the opportunity was given to clarify and not taken.

In the general sense, the intent may not have been malign but the system needs fixing regardless of Google's intent.

Source? I cant see anything..

Plausable but I do not imagine that to be the case. It was recently updated and Matomo has a self-diagnostic includeing "File integrity", it has no warnings. Its also on its own small droplet, so somewhat isoloated.

The Google Rep was clear it was not allowed also (though perhaps misinformed).

Matomo 4.3.1. (latest version) with no warnings on "System Check" but interesting idea.
funshed··on EU to move ahead with cultural quotas for streaming services
So every EU country can demand 30% (to 40%) of content is local to them.

There is 27 countries in EU, so how the hell will that work.

Not only will Netflix have to produce local content but will have to hide. French stuff from Germans to keep 60% of the prime Holywood stuff.

Unless I'm missing something - the maths seem off.

Another plus for Brexit. We have BBC for local stuff, give me back Futurama.

(that being said, there is a great none English football team owning drama.. Plus that French secret service drama/comedy.. Good netflix original stuff I watch with subtitles)

funshed··on Amazon pays £1.7m corporation tax in the UK
Well, its easy to blame Amazon but at the heart of it our tax system sucks.
funshed··on Ask HN: How do you scale a one person consultancy to an agency?
Aquire people to do the job. We and approached two of our "competitors" and convinced them to join us as we built a brand, reputation & leads. The proposal was simple we'd supply them with leads, they take the lions share of income on a self employed contracted basis. The other seen this proposal as good but what sold it to them was the lower overheads than doing it alone - removing there costs. They kept own brand but did so under our umberella.

Our biggest "problem" is - the team gets lion share and im now more of a lead generation parent company.

funshed··on Notice to stakeholders: withdrawal of the UK and EU rules on .eu domain names
"for what?" to "take back control" and restore democracy.
funshed··on Man finds USB stick with Heathrow security plans, Queen’s travel details
Airport is not government.
funshed··on Ask HN: UK Startups – Are You Thinking of Leaving the UK Because of Brexit?
Your right it is not but I certainly dont feel that was ever the case. A percentage of that 50% will want to send people home but to say "over half the population has voted saying that you don't belong there" is incorrect.

Many voted for sovereignty, not to be a star in a flag. They voted for democracy for there voice to be heard in London not a whisper in Brussles. They did not see the economic benefits that are supposed to be the cornerstone.

Where the message is confused is that many did vote to end freedom of movement suggesting unlimited immigration put downward preasure on wages. Though the message from Vote Leave (or other campaign groups) was ever to kick people out who are already here.

There are many of none-eu ethnicity that voted to leave the EU. Why can anyone from EU come? but a pakistani parent can be denied visa to live with children in UK. An issue echoed many times.

Like I was saying it is odd that this message you outline is resonating. I dont know any brexit supporter that would want to kick people out!

funshed··on Ask HN: UK Startups – Are You Thinking of Leaving the UK Because of Brexit?
UK Citizens won't be egar to move due to language barrier. UK Startups look at their market as English speaking countries. UK, USA, etc..

So we are not going to move to a none English speaking country for what? easier access to trade?... Just set up a EU based subsidiary company at a later date after launch and translation.

I dont think it's viable. Of course panicked EU citizens will return to homeland due to lack of certainty. Which is odd, that they think UK are not going to be as welcoming after brexit.

I presume confidence in this MI6 information is low. Since the UK Prime Minister jumped on a Plane to hold Trump's hand.
funshed··on Extensibility through HTTP with webtasks
Interesting and very useful, until it isn't. The idea of outsourcing business logic to a 3rd party hosted platform is one id consider high risk at the point it can be easily exported and hosted elsewhere. WebTask provides no independent backup - be for an outage or company failure.

It's a shame, as ideally I'm looking for business logic system (mind with database access) that would allow development with Vue.JS
