To address your other questions:

Bid higher on new campaigns to warm up the network stats, then decrease the bid to reduce cost, but maintain the benefit of effective KPI’s?

This is correct. Bid higher to get volume and get data to analyze and drill down targeting with it later. Not only bid higher but spend higher. Spend a good amount for 1-3 days. It depends on budget but if you have $500 daily budget for all make sure you spend those $500 to get more reliable/significant data on a single campaign.

You dont need to reduce the bid. That will probably reduce the volume or outbid you or lose the campaign. Just re target and even increase bid once you drill down on what's working.

Low bid, low volume. High bid, high volume. If you have an ad set that's super profitable and with high conversion, try increasing the bid. It will probably get you more volume. Unless the audience is super small and local.

Likewise, to get data you need volume. So bid higher. Then you can reduce if needed or adjust.

- Campaigns must saturate and get less effective over time, is there an active part I can take to manage this, or let the network tail off?

Campaigns do not saturate, but creatives do. You need to be constantly be testing new creatives, wording and angles. And I dont mean just editing creatives to improve CTR, I mean trying completely different advertising angles. (ie. emotions, fear of not using your product, discounts, authority of your product, etc) These are the things that will change your profit, CTR is just CTR and only matters if you just want to reduce your ad spend/traffic ratio. Edit creatives so that with everything else equal, they are more profitable.

- Do different networks need different strategies? - Google App campaigns only have CPI, can driving installs from a display campaign be effective? - A universe of other strategies & tactics must also exist - what’s yours?

Networks do need different strategies but it's mostly targeting options and ad placements capability. Also the volume and intent to purchase. Display network can get you tons of volume. But it's also a risky game. It's also more expensive to test and optimize accordingly. You need to create much more creative sizes so you get decent volume and it can get overwhelming very quickly.

Looks like verizonmedia is the premium network nowawadays. And it also looks like you need a good budget to start AND it also looks like you can lose it all very quickly. They may cater more to big brands that want brand awareness and just need to spend vs the little guy that needs them to perform. But worth checking out. Maybe they have a good platform.

I dont know your target market but it may be worth it to do a run of network campaign if you have some way of measuring soemthing. (free for all advertising but very cheap.)

Good luck.
Did not know that!

Same here. I call it "agile waterfall" development.
There have been a bunch of rumors leaking out of Intel on the reasons. The biggest one was apparently that the Contact Over Active Gate just didn't work. That was used extensively in the GPU section of the die but not the CPU part which is why the 10nm chips released had working CPUs but no graphics. They've cut that feature from the process for the new version of 10nm which should help.

The other big rumored problem they were having was with cobalt interconnects and I have no idea if they've made it work or abandoned it or what.
LOL... do you live in Europe?

The model 3 is (to within a couple of cm) the same size and class as the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series. And I can assure you that they are very very common cars here.

Likewise, the X is similar to (say) the Audi Q7, the BMW X5, and the Porsche Cayenne, and again, those are pretty common.
I mean infrastructure is what everyone points to when one asks “what am I even paying taxes for?” Often even the short hand of “roads”.

Are Top CEOs Underpaid?
Thats a feature not a bug. Networks are based on trust. You have a shared interest in making sure your recommendations work out and there is nothing more valuable than knowing who you recommend will work out.
I've seen this handled a few different ways. What you do is going to depend on the size of your team and your current business context. Like the rest of engineering, there are few hard and fast rules, you have to weigh the trade-offs.

One approach is to prioritize all bugs before all features. This is the Joel Spolsky approach. In a typical sprint-based environment, this basically means that available work effort is allocated to bugs, and only remaining work effort is allocated to new features. The Google SRE model (as I understand it) tries to moderate this by basically saying the team has some flexibility in work allocation between bugs/features unless certain SLOs are missed. When that happens, you go full Spolsky.

But that doesn't really address the "what if a critical bug comes up mid-sprint". To address that, you basically adopt an on-call support model. Each sprint, one (or more, or a half, etc.) are assigned to be the support person. They triage any issues or bugs and address them as best as possible. It really helps if there is a rotation, just like your operations on-call rotation. In fact, it's best if you view this as the "escalation level" from your operational on-call rotation. You can provide a similar resource for marketing or other kinds of events as necessary. The benefit is that you have an up-front acknowledgement of the level of investment needed for responsiveness, as well as being able to provide folks with periods of interruption vs. periods of deep work, and share that burden.

Lastly, I think it's really important to separate "release" from "sprint completion", especially in a SaaS environment. If you build your CI/CD and release processes around releasing at the end of the sprint, you end up building a very inflexible infrastructure. It's much better if you can release often, as work is completed. So, if you have a small feature ticket and you tackle it early in the sprint, ship it right away. If a bug comes up, release the fix as soon as it's available. I've been on too many teams where you have an inflexible release process tied to the sprint. When something comes up, it interrupts the whole flow to get something done. So, "end of sprint" != "big release".
Indeed, and the Scrum-Industrial Complex has vested interests in codifying a certain format that it can sell.

Disclaimer: I'm not an aeronautical engineer, just a software "engineer".

But between harsh atmospheric conditions, bird strikes, hornets deciding to nest where they should not [1] and mundane human/maintenance errors, sensors can and do fail. I've been taught that reliability is not achieved by building bug-free systems on top of can-never-fail hardware. Quite the opposite actually: reliability is achieved by assuming that everything and anything can and will fail. I would recommend learning Erlang to understand what a system designed from the beginning for fault-tolerance and nine nine reliability looks like.

So to answer your question, nobody is looking at the manufacturer of the sensor because an AoA sensor failing should not cause a plane to crash.

[1] Although not the sensor at hand in these crashes, turns out hornet nesting in a pitot tube prevents it from functioning. And they can nest very fast, while your aircraft is just lying there waiting for the next trip...
It's sad to see congestion pricing in America. I had hoped that the long-lived cultural freedom of driving would keep it at bay for longer, but I guess not anymore.

I live in Sydney. It takes a 45 minute drive to visit a family member, who is sick and homebound. To do so in the shortest and least congested route, I must pay 3 tolls: $14.85 total, one way; $30 dollars a trip.

Public transport is not a suitable option. Instead of 45 minutes one way, the combined trip time balloons to 2 hours (4 hours to and back) due to poor proximity to train stations, and bus connections that require waiting.

Every time I drive, I feel less free to move around my city. I feel less free to visit my friends and family. 'Freedom of movement' isn't some crazy lunatic idea. It is an important part of living for many people.
People overestimate (to absurd degrees) just how much they personally or society in general will be impacted if for example Google and Facebook left their countries.

Replacements and workarounds would pop up almost instantly. I can speak from personal experience that leaving Google and Facebook only hurts at first (because migrating emails to new addresses and domains is always a pain), then it's like they were never even there.

I'd like too see more study on the long term damage of endurance sports on the heart. I'm hoping to begin running marathons at the end of this year and ultramarathons next year. But reaching that level of fitness requires multi-hour runs, sometimes as many as twice a week. When training for mountaineering, I sometimes climb 5000+ feet in a day. Days like that tend to elevate my resting heart rate for up to a week afterwords. This probably means I'm sustaining heart damage, at least temporarily.

There are notable case of ultra runners dying, and autopsy shows long term heart damage. Some combination of duration and intensity seems to be dangerous, but the risk factors are not well understood yet.
Anarchists often like to cite the monopoly on violence (often purposely misrepresenting the "violence" for shock value) as evidence that all states are corrupt. Yet the only difference in application between a state and anarchy is violence being a monopoly in the former, versus a free (as in unregulated) market in the latter.

That violence doesn't apply to actors who implicitly accept the fiction of the social contract, and who follow the rules. Rather, it applies, as intended, to those who don't. And this remains true within the construct of a state as well as in anarchy.

The violence implicit in taxation is targeted against people who don't pay their taxes, taxation itself is not an act of violence. The social contract, implicit as it is, does require the needs of society to be met, and the cost of enjoying the rights and protections of law in a society is paid towards the collective welfare through taxation.

Many people will say that anarchy doesn't mean there aren't rules... and fair enough, but you can't have any degree of hierarchy or social interaction without coercion, or violence in the sense that the monopoly on violence describes. There will always be bad actors, charlatans, sociopaths and psychopaths, or simply those who can't afford the burden of debt entered into voluntarily and in good faith. As soon as a rule or a contract is enforced against someone's will, then you've just implemented an ad-hoc, poorly defined subset of a state.

That is not what the comment said. The comment said "stop talking about race all the time", which is literally what Morgan Freeman (black) also said.

Coming back to Western European air safety biases: Russian airlines had a bad reputation for many decades in Western Europe. Racially, you cannot get more white/caucasian than Russians.

Introducing race without specific quotes is nonsense.
Ask HN: Is GDPR hurting European tech valuations and acquisitions?
I heard a concerning anecdote from a friend. He (American) was trying to make a relatively small acquisition of a European SaaS business. 6 figure deal for a company with ~100k MATU. They were running out of cash and needed to be acquired.

Ultimately the deal did not go through because of GDPR. I am fuzzy on the exact details, but he claimed that per GDPR requirements, every single customer would have to sign back up for the service and they could not be shifted over to the new company without explicitly opting in. So the MATU would be zero until they re-acquired the users.

So the deal did not go through and the company shut down. Has anyone else noticed issues with European valuations and M&A because of GDPR?
> Shortening my stride length [...] now I have some pain on top of my ankles

Same. I just took a month off, after three months of dealing with that pain. Seems to have gone away, but I just started back a couple of days ago and haven't gone all out just yet.

I also switched to super-cushioned shoes (Hoka Bondi). I figure I'm running for exercise, not performance, so now I'm prioritizing safety over speed. It's no fun if you can't run at all.

Bad infrastructure causes people to ask "what am I even paying taxes for?"

The actual answer is "An insurance company with an army"
Sorry, there is no "faster" button. The only lever you have is cutting scope as you go. Fixed scope just makes no sense.
Otherwise you get one of three outcomes:
1. We underestimated how much we can get done. People now start gold playing stuff and wasting time that would be better spent on future backlog items.
2. You estimated just right and are done Friday at 5pm. Obviously this doesn't happen frequently.
3. You overestimate and now something's gotta give. People will start cutting corners or putting in over hours as a punishment for being bad at estimation. This is not sustainable.

We need to get away from the fixed scope mentality with which Scrum had poisened the Agile pool. If we cannot trust or developers to do the best work they can and wanting to be proud of their work, the organization has entirely different problems.
No. Please get your facts straight!

The $35k Tesla is $35k before any rebates or savings are taken into account.

The $35k Tesla has a price after estimated savings of $24,450 in Massachusetts.

$24,450

$6,250 of that savings is in the form of a $3,750 tax credit and a $2,500 check.

So even if you factor in zero fuel cost savings the purchase price after rebates is $28,750.

Stunningly inexpensive for an EV. This is lower TCO than Accord or Camry.

Do you have any recommendations for a better general-discussion site?

Personally, I have found myself resorting to discussion sites focused on a single topic, like Hacker News instead of /r/programming, or DharmaWheel.net instead of /r/Buddhism.
These "pull yourself up by your bootstraps” comments, always seem to reek of the Munchhausen Trilemma[0]. Take that to mean whatever you will, however I'd say from my own personal experience most of the bootstrap pulling seems only to further selfish means, or worse is just some sort of wheel spinning that no one sees gains from.

Due to the overwhelming amount of memoirs and op-ed's and other things of the like that exist in abundance, I will refrain from giving example circumstances that prevent people from taking such “obvious” poverty relinquishing actions, such as education, and “workharder-ness.”

Not trying to be rude here but "the morally right thing...(is to) make a better future for YOU" is really laughable honestly. I am not broadly traveled but this sort of sentiment seems uniquely American. A land where even the idea of community is a bad word that stings with thoughts of dependence. Where self-sufficiency and lack of illness are the greatest things to behold, in much the same way that we measure the quality of chattel (be that farm animal, slave, or inanimate property).

I have had more than one conversation with some supposed Ayn Rand [1] touting "ideologist", that seemed to have no inkling of anything that was per-provided for their meager successes. Such as, an entrepreneur who started with no small sum of money provided by a parent, that did not believe an any sort of government regulation, other than ones that hold his employees to mythical slavery contracts he dreamed up in his spare time. Not willing to even except that food practices were made safer but some regulatory concerns, because of course there is no such thing as germs anyway(including all sickness which was simply a lie to get out of working hard). A friend of mine installs captioned phones for people who have lost their hearing, and even though he is required to explain as well as have them accept a contract that specifically states it is a government program at no cost to them, they still confide in him with their fears of socialist uprisings. In fact, I hardly meet a person with even an appreciation for the roads they rode in on. Much less the horse, that seems to brandish itself at the mere existence of their will to travel and an ability to procure a loan.

I’m not only suggesting that we should be a little more aware of the benefits that so many of us have been given from the past, but also that we not cheapen ourselves by only valuing self-reliance. We may have a system in which individuals can live in an imagined state of “I’ve done all of this by the sweat of my own brow,” but this is only imagined, and our souls are weaker for it.

Nothing special to see here, run-of-the-mill Tesla FUD. All the discussed events were forecasted before this year began. The delivery pipelines to anywhere outside the US were being fired up for the first time; naturally the number of units in-flight rose and deliveries temporarily sank. Sales, however did not sink at all and there are still almost no cars that were produced, but not yet sold ("inventory" cars).
If those nodes are the ones that get results from leveraging their networks, then it's better for the company.

I'm not saying it's "fair", just that one could argue networks are a good proxy for results, so it makes sense to reward them from the company's perspective.
Yeah, but they aren't marinaded in chlorine.

As best I can tell, running and knee problems, like most sports injuries, are generally self-induced and avoidable (at least for over-use injuries).

Also, my opinion... running is one of the first sports sedentary people will attempt. It's cheap (just need shoes), accessible (no special field, no special skill), and high calorie burn for time spent.

Running does pound your leg joints. Especially if you heel strike badly. And do so in inadequate shoes (cheap cross-trainers). And this is exacerbated by being over-weight. All correctable and avoidable (good form, good shoes, slow ramp-up and diet control). But, people don't know what they don't know, and if they get shin splint or knee pain, they're likely to quit and blame it on "running is bad for you".
> that sounds an awful lot like something one might call a "staging" area.

Not at all. When you stage something in Git, you add a snapshot of the current version to the staging area. If you modify the file after doing "git add", the new modification will not be committed.

Reading this discussion, I think a lot of people use git with a precise workflow from which they never diverge and don't actually know the tool that well. There are plenty of very surprising design decisions in git.
True, browsing the web for fun these days seems increasingly burdensome as I feel that a good chunk of what I read lacks personality and feels extremely scripted.

The solution to that is not "make it easier to publish online", as Big Tech will always claim. One way may be to start curating your own list of interesting voices, and consume their content deliberately, instead of having it be passively fed to you (including their likes and RTs, which I personally don't like seeing) via the Feed.

It's not ethnocentric, it's programmer-centric. If you consider supporting Unicode hard, imagine the effort required to get everyone to learn a new writing system and transliterate all existing works into it. At least Unicode support only requires a handful of specialists to create the necessary tooling, rather than some global uprooting of existing traditions.
Long time swimmer and runner here - the biggest difference between the two IMO is the focus on lung capacity for swimming.

A common swimming training set most competitive swimmers will be familiar with are "lung busters". You do a 200y free that's 50y breathing every 3 strokes, 50 every 5, 50 every 7, 25 every 9 and then a 25y butterfly without breathing. I had a coach who would have us do 6 of these on 2:45 (meaning about 15-30s of rest for strong distance swimmers). Everyone would be audibly gasping for air by the end of these.

In races, how often you breathe is a critical part of race strategy. In a 50y/m free you generally shouldn't breathe at all; in a 500+ race, there are big debates about whether to breathe every 2 or 3 strokes. Additionally, how much to kick is a key part of strategy since kicking's contribution to speed is not great compared to how much oxygen it depletes.

I really don't think running compares in terms of how stressful the sport is on the lungs. That said, running 400m sprints with small rest intervals is extremely hard on every part of the body and I found the muscle stress from running far greater than from swimming.
> You cannot get creative with beat matching

This is patently false, and particularly turntablists know it. There are several ways to match beats that are hard for computers (e.g. 3 over 4), or manually swinging the beat (computers don't have the funk), particularly to match a live band or instrument.

I understand why people like Ableton, but don't pretend it's not limiting to expressivity. It's like why piano players still play chords manually instead of just triggering them -- the analog human input actually makes it sound better than worse and the human aspect is usually what the audience came for.
Good winning over Ideal is a desired outcome when Ideal doesn't have the votes to win. That's one of the main attractions of non-plurality voting. The point of approval voting is not to rank candidates as Ideal > Good > Bad, that's what IRV is. Approval voting says, "These candidates are equally acceptable to me, so I'll be happy if any of them win over the candidates I didn't vote for."
LuaJIT springs to mind here... Famously performant.
From the paper: 6 distance runners, 10 sprint/power, 6 sprint swimmers, 10 middle-distance/distance

"For runners, sprint/power athletes were defined as those who competed in 100–400 m races and high jump, while distance athletes competed in races ≥800 m."

"Short distance swimmers comprised those competing in 50–200 m races while middle-distance/distance athletes competed in 400–1500 m races."

I believe this happened because enterprises and dusty orgs wanted all the benefits of Agile without touching any of the real problems that make their orgs suck. Like communication issues and unrealistic expectations. This lead to first Scrum and now Safe.
