I work building tools for ad optimizers, next step they take is to get an account for DFP and Ad exchange(Google) which offers better revenue, there are also other ad networks you can configure on DFP to boost revenue like PubGalaxy the thing is you need to take time to test each one or get help for a pro ad optimizer and these days all big publishers are using Header bidding, you can reach me alejandro [at] ialex.org if want more details.

Add this to your bash profile and it will feel simpler

function docker_activate() { eval $(docker-machine env $1) }

alias docker_activate=docker_activate

Re:Female Founders on Friday January 10, 2014 @05:51PM (#7040203)
Another interesting fact is that the more successful female founders are, they will later have the money to fund other startups as it happened whit the young founders, now a huge portion of successful founders invest money in other's young founders ideas so it will happen whit the females.
It still happens, i have seen here in Mexico in the Gov Agency that collects taxes when they send something to print/export pdf's they keep moving the mouse or their progress bar doesn't move at all. But they made this natural i think it is part of the training they receive, maybe some devs there tough it was the only way to get the rid of that bug, JUST KEEP MOVING THE MOUSE!.
