Like many things in life, this isn't a black and white issue. Higher education isn't for everyone, some people benefit greatly, for others it is a waste of time and money. It shouldn't be a requirement for moving up in life

I consider myself above average intelligence, but my math skills are sorely lacking (didn't make it beyond pre-calculus). The first section was simple to follow but I was completely lost as soon as he hit the "Nitty Gritty."

It all depends on your personal circumstances. Are you in a risk group? If so, I'd wait for a vaccine. Personally, I'm not in a risk group, have been exposed (close prolonged contact to multiple positive people) without any majo

Maybe an unpopular take, but not every kid will be or should be interested in this kind of thing. It is more important to teach them to love learning and exploring. Introduce them to a variety of topics ranging from science, math, history

Lazy post on my part, saw the current terrible numbers and didn't bother looking at the past.

"I do a lot of sports now and hang out with my non-techy friends and my wife. I cook a lot." This implies that you didn't do these things before. Which implies that you were overworked, didn't take care of yourself and

Traditional TV isn't. But more and more TV is consumed via various types of CTV platforms- these are transacted programmatically, mostly through private deals but a growing share via open programmatic.

You're assuming that Google, FB and Amazon are the entire supply side of the market. They're a huge part of it yes, but there's about 30% of the internet supply that they don't control and once you get into the TV space

You're right, I don't live in the EU and forgot the distinction. But the point stands- users should get a choice, there shouldn't be a blanket ban.

I think you're missing a few key points: 1) "Success was measured by metrics like Impressions" - advertisers need to get smarter and link advertising to bottom line results. If you can't tie ad spend to improvement in s

"Wrong" in your opinion, not in the opinion of others. Choice is a beautiful thing- that's why with things like GDPR you can opt out from tracking, personalized advertising and be worth less as a user to the publisher. Ad tec

You and I are different. We shouldn't prescribe blanket solutions to nuanced problems.

Context (which is basically what you're referring to) is just one strategy. Often, targeting is used to narrow in on an audience. Let's say I have a product to sell but I don't know my exact audience- I'd start a very b

What this ignores is that non targeted advertising means less money for publishers. As advertisers are willing to spend more when they have more info about a user. According to a Google study [1] the impact can be as high as 50%. I prefer

Great idea, just some copywriting fixes: 1. "runs the latest scams techniques on your team" should be "runs the latest scam techniques on your team" 2. "trainings" while technically a word, native English speak

That part of my comment refers to the well known issue that China often builds things quickly while taking shortcuts in building standards (either because they don't exist or due to corruption).

I don't live there, but I visit very often (at least once a year lately) and have visited regularly since the mid-90s (my family immigrated from there in the early 90s). I think in many ways the quality of life in the big cities (St.

Thank you for pointing out that our clearly joke app with clearly fake testimonials are fake.

Part of this is seeing if people understand jokes. We thought about the companies where we hated working and the bad things about their cultures- our snitch/informant bot symbolizes the worst of it.

No. It is and should be treated like a lottery ticket. Don't sacrifice salary for equity. The real benefit of working in a startup is gaining experience/exposure to more responsibilities than you would in a big company.
