The 36 corridor between Denver and Boulder was home to a ton of storage tech startups in the first dotcom boom. There’s still a street called “Tape Drive”.
Showing ads isn’t enough. You need to count as impressions to bill advertisers and convince them to trust the impression data coming from third party clients.
Twitter distributes config files across their entire fleet (hundreds of thousands of machines) using git and a cron job. Commit your config change, wait a few minutes and there it is.

2) Butterfly the breasts and lay them over the skin. Rub with salt, butter and whatever herbs you like. Roll breasts and skin up into a roulade. Refrigerate for 2 days.
3) Sous vide breast roulade at 140 for 4-5 hours then deep fry.
4) Separately, braise the legs/thighs in red wine and mirepoix.
5) Use the bones/gizzards to make gravy.
6) Toss the tenderloins in the freezer for another day.
