Yes and no. ROI tracking is not hard if you want to run 1 campaign on Google and nothing else. ROI tracking is a whole subspecialty of adtech if you want to parse out one medium or campaign's spend from all the other spend have runnin

Would the casinos benefit from a careful presentation of the mathematical odds of all the games and how to best position your wagers ? Or would they benefit by seeming like a fantastic place to wine, dine, splurge on things you can spend mo

I think Google's business model in large part is having a super complicated ad console that very few, if anyone, actually knows how to most efficiently operate. So what happens is that the savvy media teams figure out what works throug

The primary argument against Rent Control is that it leaves tenants worse off. Look at the places without Rent Control that have adopted a pro-housing development stance - rents are declining ! But, that doesn't keep a large staff of p

Because the higher rent you advertise, the longer it takes to find a tenant

In the People's Republic of Berkeley, our City Council patted themselves on the back in March 2025 when they passed similar laws. Then they got sued by the company that was targeted, and immediately waffled and canceled the ban. What&#

If the Dems get the House and Senate, expect a lot of reversals. I would imagine we might even have some "settlements" with the "DOJ" before the end of Trumps term

Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Smartening up would have been the Democratic Party ejecting Swalwell because he was a known creep. Instead he was the front runner for the CA Governor until like a couple months before the election when s

Strategy and spin don't make policy ? Wag the Dog (movie) came out like 3 decades ago

The Democrats are not smartening up. The weak kneed leadership will be getting replaced by the populist message of Trump but coming from the left, people like Mamdani, the DSA candidates, etc. The people clearly want leaders who will say :

I'm not talking about athletes. I'm talking about the people who own the teams, they invest in chiropractors. People who are thinking about the ultimate economic benefit of an investment into a human body, not the athletes themsel

Its such a scam that professional sports teams all hire chiropractors to work on the bodies they invest millions of dollars into each year.

I was going to say the same thing. 2.5m per side+rotation plus another 2.5 plus or minus 20s depending on heat But I actually got something out of this -- which is that maybe before now, humans had to soak up the complexity of where value

Largely because enough American voters, contrary to all of the evidence, believed that Trump was going to grow a sense of duty, eviscerate corruption in Washington, deliver an economy that works for the working class, and not engage in any

On dogs my friend likes to strike a match, touch the extinguished tip to the back of the tick, and then pull it out with tweezers. Seems to work

If the history of the internet is to be any guide, it won't be the slog of racism that will shut something like this down, it will be a firehose of penis pictures. Somewhere, someone will figure out how to create a bot that floods this

Thanks - this is the perfect example of how to do this

I imagine in this age of blockchains you could embed into a media file a signature that proved it was no older than the timestamp of when it occurred, the digital equivalent of a hostage-proof-of-life photo with a recent newspaper But I don

Oh yes Apple "wraps" their AI in a "privacy architecture" -- you can't use Carplay unless you turn it (Siri) on.

A lot of people doing the latter camp are people with the knowledge of the former camp, and who are sufficiently happy with the speed and guard rails to no longer worry about "molding the solution in their hands" I'm not spea

It would be prudent, not necessary. Capital raising is best done when markets are favorable, and Alphabet has the ability to choose how and when to raise. Recall the froth of follow-on offerings hot circa 2000
