Of course, CTR is apart of the profit formula and cannot ignored as you correctly note. It’s not a trivial task to find those verticals or geos where this will be a successful strategy.

This type of behavior allows for a known ad arbitrage strategy. Bing’s PPC network, for instance, use to not have the same geo coverage as AdWords, and when they received traffic from a geo they weren’t serving ads in they would send the se

I definitely felt that way when learning matplotlib at the start. But, after spending a good amount of time learning the object oriented api I find it insanely expressive. It can get verbose, however I have full control over every part of t

Not a vegan, but the most common reasons I have heard cited for plant based foods are ethics of eating animals, the environmental impacts of meat production, and health concerns of meat consumption. I’m sure even vegetarians/vegans enj

I think the parent was being sarcastic, hence the ;P emoji at the end of the post. However, I wanted to commend your reply. It seeks to educate without judgement. Cheers.

Curious if you think power and influence are synonymous. I don’t think they are, but I do think they can achieve similar things which require a collaborative effort of many, like saving millions of lives or interplanetary habitation. To me

This is a great point. The author completely disregards the fact that this is a tool, and a battle tested one at that. Moreover, GitHub has presumably done a lot of testing and analysis on how people use and navigate their site. The fact th

Disney has a large stake in Hulu, due in part to the Fox acquisition. Moreover, Disney+ will focus on kids and family content, they will need Hulu to provide the network TV along with more adult focused content. Per Disney's own admiss

Hi, thanks for the reply! Actually, apologies for throwing your name next to tableau like that. I think your product does a great job incorporating things like R/python scripting to allow more flexibility in how data can be manipulate

Pocketing extra margin dollars is not necessarily profit maximizing. As other have pointed out, depending on where their customers (and currently priced out customers) are on the demand curve, reducing prices could increase profits. I expec

You’re absolutely correct about the battery acting as a structural member. Another important safety plus is the removal of the engine. You now have the frunk acting as a large crumple zone and no chunk of metal shoving a steering column in

While I agree with the intentions of your comment, it fails to be a persuasive rebuttal. Not saying you’re wrong, just saying a more productive comment would have responded to the specific claims of Gladwell’s in the comment, versus an ad h

This is amazing and as a moon lover, I cannot wait to see the output. Odd that Picasso is mentioned in their hypothetical, it seems he didn't care much for the moon (at least humans landing on it anyhow). See lesson 8. https:/&#x

I agree, gender could be a red herring here. Power structures could better explain the social behavior. However, I would like to understand the differences, if any, between patriarchal and matriarchal societies. Anyone has a suggestions for

I just mean to say mathematical objects do not have to exist in order for them to be efficacious. We may just disagree on the ontology of mathematical objects. Or, I may just be misunderstanding your argument.

Sure there is. I can use Fourier transforms because they are efficacious but this does not force ZFC upon my reality. Could they be apart of reality? Sure, and, if they are they produce efficacious tools. Could they not be apart of my reali

I want Fourier transforms to work, but I don't need an abstraction for how they work to be apart of my reality in order for them to be efficacious.
