My interpretation of their point was that more demand for water with a fixed supply of water will only make our water problems worse. Not that data centers are causing this problem on their own.

I also communicate this to people I work with since I'm not always in full ownership of what needs to get done. I am highly capable of deeply working on several wildly different things per day but if I get pulled around too much, somet

Bounce rate just means that someone came to your site and did not interact with the analytics DB in any other way. A user can scroll up and down 50x, stay until 29 minutes and 59 seconds, leave, and it will be a bounce. Bounce rate is a ter

With SQL, there are many different ways to write a query and to get the correct result returned to you. Instead of "1+1=2" being the only answer, it'd be more like: "1+1=2", "2+0=2", and "0+2=2".

I've had to relearn concepts 2-3x and deal with silly mistakes I made, rewriting some programs. I know a little bit about databases so that gave me a good foundation to work with. If I was 18 and starting from scratch, some of those co

I'm a marketer tinkering with Python. Since Python is so versatile, lots of uses for a marketer like me. I started off with a few Coursera courses going over the basics (Programming 4 Everybody) and read the book with it. Then I tinker

As a climber and marketer, this is how I feel. You may need some help on sales copy but this is a marketing problem--who is this for and through what channels can i reach them? There are definitely places where chalk is frowned upon. Try ca

It's certainly worth talking about and fixing--the difference between segmentation and discrimination. Like in the HUD case mentioned in the article, discriminating based on age, gender, race, etc. are actually illegal. Not every indus

It's more explicit now. Most sites add the Facebook Pixel as they want to track conversions on their site. Most brands have this on their site. Facebook can do all of the analysis that Google can with that, such as knowing how many peo

Yea, that's a really insightful take and I didn't take that into account when I was thinking about this earlier. Appreciate your take!

Some SMB's that I have met over the years are great at pretending they don't have money when hiring but are very profitable. I think that fits the "bad company, no financing" and is worth mentioning. This thread is inter

Yea, the functioning/viable business piece has a place in this discussion. I can understand why the author wouldn't include it but it serves us here. To take on debt like mentioned, you have to have some confidence in the business

This reveals the joy of gift-giving. I had always shied away from trying hard to find a great gift. I was afraid I would give a terrible, terrible gift (I'm not great at receiving gifts). Someone I dated years ago had a talk with me ab

The Python for Everybody course was great. I was excited to complete it (well, the first 3 courses in the roadmap): https://www.coursera.org/specializations/python As a non-programmer but a decent mather, I thought it

It sounds like you hired it for specific reasons, finding a low cost option quickly or treating yourself to _all the things_, and I don't think AirBnB tries to do those things well. Try hiring hotels or hostels for large gatherings: ba

I want to know if I'm reading this wrong because our conclusions were different. It feels like they tested whether additional mentorship worked, it didn't, but their conclusion was that the "interventions" worked on both

I've been using this combo for a while and it works really well. I have 2-4 profiles open at one time and just whitelist my inbox and a few other sites/apps I frequent while working. Great Suspender makes it totally viable.

It'd be helpful to add some context from your position since I bet you (and/or C-suite) bring a lot of your own expertise to the company and some people may not have those in their locker. I've found that sometimes the existi

I had to learn to love those boring things for the positive outcomes I got from them. It's nowhere near perfect, but I know if I do all the right things during the day, I will get a decent sleep. There are some things that help more th

I see about 10-12 paragraph indents, although short, so it might be an issue on your end. NYPost does have an intense number of ads so perhaps a blocker issue?

I've seen that gap mentioned a few times in this thread. I checked out the visual in the thread [1] and I have a question since time makes everything complicated. This is definitely an example of a worst case scenario, exactly as you m

There are different ways to say similar things so your lexicon really depends on where you've spent your time over the last 5 - 10 years. Product Market Fit (PMF), high leverage activities, and risk assessments all overlap in my mind,

It's also important to identify the thing that people request first, such as a good website. Plenty of work is done after that problem is solved or in addition to that problem. The person who solves the "we need a website" pr

I originally had more nuance in my comment but wanted to keep it simple. In my experience, companies like the ones you describe have a really strong brand (so large volume of branded search) and/or really strong other channels, like SE

You noted a few interesting things that I wanted to call out as a marketer, like budget. No one has a $3m Google Ads budget for something that doesn't work already. I've run campaigns for brands that lead the market and for new bu
