Hey Jefftk, this is a human dimension I wasn't acknowledging elsewhere. Theory is one thing and money is another. ("whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting over" or something like that -- Samuel Clemens) So in the

Yes. Modulation not moderation. ;-) That is what you're talking about, how slicing up your signal before transmission impacts your ability to receive it. Here's a Jupyter Notebook which will maybe make your head explode... I mean

GDPR doesn't stop me from having ad1.example.com and ad2.example.com landing pages. Aspirationally perhaps, but technically no. I think this is different from fonts.gstatic.com in that it doesn't need to follow people around the i

Are you conflating a call to action on a channel you already control with advertising? Because in that case you might try f(A), f(A,B) and also f(B): could be a synergistic effect, or they could just click on anything.

The article suggests that they are comparing between two placements: the organic search placement and the paid placement (ad). I don't see any explanation why that is invalid. Indeed the literal meaning of incrementality would suggest

_How would you measure this:_ Does this ad improve conversion compared to not having the ad at all?

Maybe we should gamify it. Actually I was thinking of places with the same posting for months or years. My inspiration was remembering the amusement that FuckedCompany provided... and it was surprisingly accurate.

I've been thinking that Gephi is getting long in the tooth. Has anybody tried Cytoscape? ( https://cytoscape.org/ ) (DNS is SERVFAILing at the moment.) I use it for a combination of "no K" clustering (general e

That last sentence leaves me on edge; sounds like "hold my beer". Strike that last sentence; new paragraph: At the point where people have done enough iterations of this that they're realizing they can't scale out of the

Every unbounded attempt (e.g. scraping) at collecting data in the wild that I've seen (and I've seen a lot) ends up borrowing against future tech (just push through, we'll solve it at scale) and ends up with an increasingly u

There's a fine line between "you aren't using the product you paid for" and "we want to make noises about the choices you're making". Blurring that line doesn't help anybody, false pretenses makes it

I have a 30 year old (how did that happen!?) motorcycle. It's not a "sport" bike (UJC with good ergos) but it does have a high (10.5:1) compression engine (drive train is borrowed from a different bike by the same manufacture

Spivak, 2nd Edition, is how I taught myself calculus. Teaching myself calculus was the deal I made so that the head of the university mathematics department would let me take numerical analysis as a nonmatric. I have Pearl's ("fan

I'd counsel caution. Simple obvious questions can be natterings about the "known unknowns". 1) Where do I order a beer? 2) Do they serve food? 3) Which tram do I take to get there? Progressively these three questions tell us

A rambling comment. "Talk therapy" (in one of the other comments): yeah, I think so, maybe. But I don't know if "have you discussed the underlying issue with a trained therapist?" is in order in a professional relat

There is the suggestion made in the article that you can get any random IDN, and to the best of my knowledge that is not true. There's something about collating characters (there is no collation order for poop, hearts or astrological s

This doesn't work reliably, because TLS gets implemented incorrectly and the trailing dot is not stripped from the SNI host (TLS not HTTP) header. Curl has gone back and forth; dunno whether that is curl itself or the resolver libs. Fi
