Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for this exact thing. Go Map is ok, but PushPin really does have the "I'm here now and want to add the location easily" use case nailed. Side note: This illustrates how

I'd agree. On the ad exchange side, their customer support is the best in the industry. But then a lot of that DNA comes from DoubleClick where they have always needed to provide sales and support services to a wide variety of custom

+1. Same reason the "turn off your email" advice falls on deaf ears with me. Too much of the information I need to do my job lives in my email.

I suspect this was 1x1 image pixel similar to what is routine practice in online advertising to track site visits.

Maybe. But I think the act of making it public is an important distinction. I don't post to my blog very often (and traffic is essential zero), but when I write I try to make it worth reading. I'm certain I would not take the same care w

I have a business degree and an MBA and I agree with this statement. If I could go back, I would major is something more technical. But, I also have an MBA. And I would get that again.

I'm speculating here, but my guess is that part of the reason it sells out is because the person buying it is measured on CTR. If this placement has a high CTR it is going to lift the overall media campaign and make the buyer look good.

Facebook data is not useless for assessing credit risk. People with high credit scores are likely to be connected to each other via social networks. The converse is likely also true. Although it is controversial, banks seem to be starting

Yes, I did this in business school. We called it the "Bull Whip Effect" because a small movement on one end of the supply chain caused a dramatic impact on the other end.

This is pretty spot on with what I've seen up close. Specifically: 1) "Throw [y]our normal engineering practices out of the window." - We treat Data Science very much like the "R" in R&D. We point them generally towards a problem and

No one is saying we'll go to war if a hack happens. The policy makes clear to potential adversaries that these types of attacks would be considered an act of war by the US and make clear that there could be a military response. Its a bit l
