You can probably always find a cheaper car, but that's not the point here. VW's goal isn’t to offer the cheapest EV in the world. The company is clearly targeting the European market. It’s also important to note that car prices ar

This! I am writing a lot of technical articles but mostly they don't have that much impact. It's more advertising myself if someone wants to hire me. I get kudos from friends and colleagues, but never reach a "wide reach&quot

how do you define "golden age"? personally, I still love those kind of riddles, I don't care who's cheating or not. It's like sudoku. and I bet I am not alone.

It's not only Google Sheets, you can find this on every (major) website. Linking to a thread on x shows you 4 pop overs. One with a notice, the second showing a cookie advice and two of them asking you to register, while one of the two

I am not saying it's not working and no one is offering it, I am saying, it's not something you would expect from a bigger advertiser.

Just ask someone from the industry itself. Like me. I didn't met a single "online marketeer" that ever offered such an option to (re-)target customers. Doesn't mean there are fishy tools to allow that. But I am pretty su

I hear you. And my first thought is: infinity times 0 does not equals 0. The thing is, I have a different understanding of "division". I see it as numerator and fraction. 1/4 means there is one of two pieces. You could have 4

I agree, but also you have to mention, that knowledge is based on deduction. There is cause and effect, there are simple, logical rules and by "counting votes" you simply keep record of those rules. If you will, fantasy is just t

probably not, if it's the price tag on the shelf itself and there's no electronic checkout, you have to hurry to get to the checkout.

you can't compare this. Walmart is huge and probably has, in some areas, some kind of monopoly. If you sell your stuff on a flea market, I can deal with you to get a price that suits both of us. You have competition all around you, eas

Depends on the use case, I use Lorem Ipsum for text processing tests. I strongly prefer AI generated content. Not everyone uses Lorem Ipsum for UI testing/stuff.

can't we adapt this to other forms of ads, meaning changing visuals to a height x width of 1x1? This will not save bandwidth, but 'their' algos still assume we're loading and displaying ads.
