Depending on the state you're in it is, in fact, illegal to fire someone for their political views and is a protected class of sorts. (To varying degrees)

Their automated policing system is horrific. I make how to marketing videos with no music in the background, and randomly get strikes for copyright that I have to appeal to keep my account in good standing. I used to not understand all the

"but it's definitely a fallacy that if you do bad things it nullifies good things that you do." That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that if you inject yourself as a moral arbiter into a debate, then

Yeah let me try and find some good articles. As for my talk, the tl;dr is that the lack of inventory transparency by ad networks coupled with the way that the CPM pricing model is currently administered incentivizes a system where the only

Unfortunately, I don't believe it was recorded. That said I've been submitting it to some local TedXs so hopefully, I can get a recording in the near future.

I gave a talk at Denver startup week last year about the underlying profit incentives tied to fake news and how industry reforms in the way media companies do business could not only benefit the advertisers but also stop Fake news. At the e

I have very little sympathy for these companies getting called out. Many of them gleefully throw themselves into the political arena when they can capitalize on things like pride or international women's day for cheap progressive point

Probably the first entire month was spent on how to properly fall, block, and take blows as to not hurt yourself. In my experience, it was part of the class and is as important to learn as anything else.

I had the same problem until I got into MMA. I'm not a stereotypical MMA "bro" but the social aspects and the varied but intense workouts are perfect for me to be engaged and not lose interest. Plus learning to fight is a ski

I mean the article pretty explicitly lumps this together with the Saudis and even goes so far as to call it part of a proxy war against Iran. "The UAE and Saudi Arabia lead an alliance of nine countries in Yemen, fighting what is large

There was an NHL player who recently got suspended that made this argument. I wonder if that was actually the case. Certainly, this evidence would help his case or at least cast reasonable doubt.

Your experience is similar to mine. I'm a marketing consultant so I get to work with a lot of different teams. People that either over-rely on Founder vision AND people that overly rely on data tend to not do well. It's why I&#x27

I'll chime in. My first child is due in 3 months. I find it offensive when my friends compare the burden of pet ownership to that of raising a child because there is so much more work, preparation, and much higher stakes. I think that&

This article is really relatable. Personal story time. I recently had a mini hit on Reddit where I started a community that's about 2800 people who come to me for marketing tips every day. It's both exhilarating and terrifying. Ha

For what it's worth in the article he brings up Soviet atrocities as well. No place on the political spectrum has the monopoly on being righteous, nor committing terrible crimes.

100% agreed. Cynicism abounds, but at least they're doing something even if it fails. Embracing failure, moving fast, learning, and pivoting needs not be limited to early-stage tech companies.

More practically Facebooks ads run off ML at this point meaning you need to feed them a ton of data to get decent results. It's good to learn their take on it for advertisers.

It was my understanding they were now allowing it to be used in a case by case basis reviewed by the EPA. IMHO that makes sense. Surely there are some applications it makes sense for if the proper precautions are taken.
