Surprised not to see Man's search for meaning on here. It's a great book about life from a holocaust survivor. It's one of those books that definitely stays with you for a while. I like to reread it every few years.

That's interesting, so google ads don't work yet simultaneously if you don't use them your business will just break down into nothing. How does that work?

I suggested you get literal direct experience from people who have used ads in their marketing mix. I gave you my direct experience. This is not an appeal to authority. You then immediately appeal to authority by your own definition by brin

You can talk to pretty much any ecommerce site or ppc specialist - open up linkedin and message away. I had clients triple their yearly revenue with well implemented ad campaigns. Do you really think these things are implemented without any

Not a chance. Google is trying to match search intent and so are ads. If the ads are relevant to what's being searched, then it receives a low quality score and isn't shown often, if at all depending on how irrelevant it is. If I

Yeah this kinda came off as asshole-ish. Sponsored content is supposed to be mutually beneficial. The first part of the article makes it seem like link-building is some king of taboo SEO tactic instead of regular tool everyone uses...

an interesting phrase is working as little as possible. This is an organizational issue more so than a motivation one. I work remote and am assigned all my work on a monday that is due by the end of the day friday. If I don't do it, th

only tangentially related but that phrase is a pet peeve of mine. You are always the product if you are using software - free or paid. Netflix is sure as hell going to use your data the same way youtube would. The only exception of course i

The US military is actually very good at teaching people new languages. The issue when learning new languages is incentive and exposure. If you are stuck in a classroom for 8 hours a day and only exposed to a single foreign language, and yo

Think about it this way: there are two doors as the starting condition, only one has the prize behind it. 50% odds. The host opens the wrong door, so only one remains. The prize MUST be behind the only remaining door. The host gives you the

I always thought of this as a bullshit sleight-of-language problem. Realistically, it doesn't make a difference if you switch, because the chance of the prize being behind any door is 50%. The choice doesn't 'carry over'

>> If you didn't start with that belief, what observation could you make to come to the conclusion that there is an afterlife? I always appreciate the parable of the flame in Buddhism. If you use a lighter to produce a flame, whe

I agree. There was a TIL thread on Reddit a few years ago about how smarter people are usually more depressed -- low and behold everyone in the comments was lamenting over how cursed they were to carry the burden of their intellect. No one

Something that others might not be aware of - Gimp could be a lot better by now, but Adobe actually has patents on features that cannot be included into Gimp, including certain UI elements. So there is a limit on what Gimp can do, not becau

My coworkers go to starbucks or dunkin first thing to get a bunch of sugar-laced coffee. Coffee goes with sugar and cream. A grande Frappuccino at Starbucks has 64g of sugar, double the daily recommended intake.
