The medical condition is a predilection to addiction, alcohol or otherwise. Shame doesn't cure cancer or make you recover from a common cold.

A nice trivia fact I learned is that East Germany made the world's best selling digger. There's a fun documentary (in German) that covers this. The machine from the DDR is discussed starting at 27:53 Link = https://yout

For a tech-focused discussion, it's interesting (and incorrect) to focus on labor vs. the outputs of labor: productivity. Productivity has outpaced the minimum wage over the last few decades, thanks to technology and other advances. As

None of these rules are for digital advertising as this article was written in 1982. This is also an advertisement, not a paper on JSTOR so you're not going to find citations. Many market studies are proprietary as there's no reas

Keep in mind this was written in 1982 and was therefore based on work done for Mercedes-Benz in the late 70s and early 80s. I don't know if this was an Ogilvy ad, but it purports to be from 1980: https://i.pinimg.com/56

> give me a videogame with one price tag that's made to just be a good game I suggest you look into the Nintendo Switch, which has not only good games but also a wide screen and a headphone jack. And buttons!

I'd also add that any search should be for metadata attached to that piece of content. If I search for Jackie Chan, I want to see Jackie Chan films (or appearances in TV episodes) vs. the only film with Jackie Chan in the title.

It's a matter of scale in relation to your audience and data. Your local news site with users in the tens of thousands, is unlikely to have the capital to invest in geographic and demographic tracking necessary to provide a robust ads

Every major retailer that sells Lego sets will likely carry or stock some version of a "classic" set which is 1000+ bricks that are the same as the ones from 40 or even 50 years ago (just available in more colors & perhaps som

Today's Parent dot com, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thoug

This also occurred with IMDB. At one point the first Harry Potter film was rated #1 on the Top 250.

I agree with this statement but the solution is not solely crypto nor does that provide any inherent value to residents outside of those nations.

Sony (the studio) is an "arms dealer" and works with many different streamers. No reason they can't do the same on the gaming side and release, say, Spider-man, on Gamepass or Stadia after sales on their own consoles slow dow

Stadia also has a lot of indie games but thanks to their sales, you end up with a comparable price to Steam sales. Disco Elysium, for example, went on sale for US$18 vs. ~$23 on Switch. Steam's sale price was ~$20.

In terms of what's available in an mass market electronics store, sure. Is it best in class compared to a receiver set up with casting and $2,000 speakers? No, but that's not the problem Sonos is trying to solve.

by The-Bus 5y ago
Sonos does part of this: when you set up the speaker it sends out pings that are picked up by your phone which you have to wave around like you're doing a cleansing ceremony. To my knowledge it doesn't do this dynamically.

Apple has FanDuel, DraftKings, MGM Sportsbook, etc. So it may follow the 5.3.3. rule, but it's certainly gambling in spirit if not in practice.
