In those interventions it's not 100% clear the car would have generated an accident. They get very "close" so the driver intervenes. And of course this is the safe thing to do. But highly sensitive AI driving should be able t

As a 5'3 guy who is socially active I have a few nuances to add. It's not that people or even women won't like you. Women, even tall women will like you. They may even think you're cute or attractive. However, they will

If I've learned anything in my brief 10 year career so far it's that we shouldn't wait for things to change, almost especially if it's explicitly promised that they will change. It's not worth the risk of disappoint

It's a weird concept, but a company would rather hire a new person at 30% higher salary than give a current one a 25% raise.

I left my job at an ad agency this past week because I was asked to train and manage a team of three brand new employees within my first month on the job. All the while I was expected to "ship" advertising reporting and execution

I had gotten to the point where work was consuming my psychology. It's not that the hours were crazy. But the pressure and pace at which I was working made it so I no longer wanted to travel while working, go on dates, exercise, cook,

This is such a great tip. Do you have any others? I personally use Strava to find places to walk when I go to new cities. And when I'm looking for a neighborhood to stay in a new cities, I plot out all moderately expensive restaurants

Ah got it. I had no intention of doing that. I do think most of us, marketers or developers would like to make some impact. That impact is not always financial. But marketing is not necessarily always about finances. It's about underst

I can take a shot at a tip on weeding at pretenders as a marketer: Ask them to describe, in technical detail, what the software does. Ask them about challenges the end user may have going through the process of using it. A bad marketer is a

In a free market, we don't dictate what someone needs or doesn't need. We believe the individual has a right to choose amongst options that are presented with truthful claims. If someone pays for it willingly, they needed it. If w

I work in digital advertising. I manage several billion impressions a year in ads spend and over $15M a year. I think it's easy for engineers to undervalue the importance of advertising. Without marketing, many many well-engineered pro
