While I agree with your general sentiments, I find that most people who bash the Common Core State Standards don't really understand them. Why, exactly, do you feel that Common Core is a failure? Education is one of the few areas that

We do this in Chicago. We call them "magnet" schools, as they are intended to attract the best and the brightest. On the one hand, these are the most diverse schools in this heavily segregated city. They give students from rough n

Not picking a fight. This is a serious inquiry. How do you determine whether your budget was wasted on click fraud or just ineffective landing pages? Surely click fraud occurs, but how can you tell?

I can't speak too much about this because it is on the fringes of my knowledge. All I can say is that I trust Google's systems to screen for malverstising. I remember there was an incident recently where one of the ad networks tha

To answer your question more directly: besides AdWords, Google manages the ad inventories of a dozen or so third-party ad networks. Lots of the display advertisements that appear on the web are served via these ad networks. Many of these co

There is a very good reason to not secure your site if you are dependent on ad revenue. When I switched to https, my earnings dropped by about half. I tried it for a week, but I couldn't take the losses. When you have a secure site th

I do not argue that the rights are natural. They are a legal and economic construct. There is nothing natural about them. But that does not mean that these rights do not exist. The question I ask you is, to whom should these rights belong?

I enjoyed this. I also liked the Bender reference. It reminded me of that show that makes me laugh on Netflix. It also illustrated the point that he was trying to make. I prefer warm examples, rather than ones using book titles.
