The Mothman folklore is hilarious. It is almost certainly a Sandhill crane, but people get spooked when seeing a large bird at night and attribute it as some sort of extraterrestrial creature. Point Pleasant, WV (a blip on the Ohio river) h

This is common in certain verticals, think e-commerce organizations with relatively niche products like replacement auto parts. They (the big fish being Autozone and Advance) go through the effort of having separate pages for each model yea

Why don't new search engines build off of something like http://commoncrawl.org/ instead of Bing's API? Is it purely cost/resources or a combination of freshness and steeper learning curve?

All of these are true except for d and e. I get multiple calls per week some weeks asking for donations from various deparments, having never donated to my college and demonstrated no willingness to do so. If they can panhandle from alumni,

Exactly. I used to consider academia as a separate entity from the private sector, thinking it was full of altruistic individuals wanting to further the knowledge of humanity. Then I started seeing that most colleges operate as tax-exempt

Colleges have been quietly expanding the last 10-15 years with programs like these. They do it discreetly, sometimes with different campuses across town or simply online. From what I've seen, they may be an entirely separate school so

The Aloft app is good, too. It allows you to get automated approvals from LAANC when you are flying near certain airports.

Yep, if they're doing an LS swap with a T56, then the modern transmission will be a huge advantage. I was thinking in the sense of something like the more common 4L60E/TH350 (3/4 speed autos) that most people resort to when

I regularly attend car shows (typically domestic, mostly 1950-70's) with my dad. The last few years there have been a few pseudo rat rods that have used scavenged drivetrains from either Priuses(ii?) or Nissan Leafs. They're typic

Ad Rank is a function of bid and QS ( heavily weighted towards CTR). Adjusting weighting of any of the three public components of QS will impact all participants, ignoring cases of exceeding max bids, all bids should increase proportiona

They can adjust Quality Score parameters or bid floors to increase the CPC and/or make ads look more like organic results to increase the ad CTR. Both will increase their earnings per pageview. More auction participants mean higher bid

I believe FB ads allow you to target based on pregnancy status, but you're probably looking at $0.25+/click to drive traffic. SEO will be hard, since the incumbents likely already have strong backlink profiles. There is lots of vo

Leaflet.js is your best bet. It is quick to start, has tons of plugins and can do a lot out of the box. OpenLayers is probably a little more customizable, but has a steeper learning curve. If you're using PostGIS, you can probably hand

Google devalued exact match domains years ago, but it still makes a difference. 301'ing the subsequent domains won't help you rank unless they already have backlinks. If you build out each domain with unique content and generate
