What kind of lame equivocation is "second best?" If he's "second best" in a debate with two people, then that means HE LOST.
Are these GOP lawmakers and analysts so spineless and beholden to Trump that they cannot discuss this as just one more - in a long list - of his failures?
I'm not sure how true this perception is in more recent years. Many popular sites, with enormous traffic volumes that could drive digital impression ad revenue, are instead pushing subscriptions or other monetization models.
For instance, the New York Times makes — by far — more money on digital subscriptions than digital advertising. Digital advertising revenues are also declining for them.
Another example is Spotify, where ad revenue from their ad-supported tier did not cover their operational costs and now represents around only a tenth of their revenue compared to subscriptions.
The exceptions to this are generally search and social media sites, where the product for sale on these sites are the users themselves. They're just advertising platforms, which of course make their money from digital advertising.
So I'd say one issue with digital advertising is that it often does not pay the bills for the site owner. Its value is tied to its ability to convert visitors to buyers, but it has to be ramped up to such an extreme level it instead only creates bad experiences.
I go through significant efforts to block digital advertising at multiple levels. Yet, I do not find it difficult to discover new things to buy (from both small and large businesses).
For myself, I suspect most of that is supported through online communities related to my interests and hobbies. Those purchases feel more informed and often more intentional too.
What if we just got rid of digital advertising altogether in the US? How many issues of privacy, health and personal finance would disappear or be greatly reduced?
It's hard for me to imagine what that would look like or the downsides other than to the digital advertising industry itself.
While expanding legal immigration, asylum protections and earned paths to citizenship and without mass deportation.
Yeah they're totally the same. /s
With good charging options, 50kwh should be enough for most people.
Using my Model Y effective range for comparison, this would drop the range in ideal conditions to about 200mi. In cold weather this would probably look more like 150mi or less. With the recommended 80% limit for regular charging, that could be as low as 120mi. That's also assuming it's always plugged in at home which isn't the case for everyone, and harder to do when you have two EVs sharing a home charger.
The other significant tradeoff is the time it will take to charge on a longer trip. You'll be charging more frequently, a smaller battery may charge slower, and you'll need to charge to a higher percentage in order to continue your trip. It may take 20 min to get that first 80% charge at an L3 station but if you need the last 15-20% it could take an additional 25 min. This is also ignoring the increased utilization of busy charging locations, where two vehicles at a single stall will each charge slower.
I'm a huge advocate for EVs but I would not be comfortable with that range or happy with the experience on longer trips, and these are top concerns for potential buyers.
Both things can be a problem simultaneously 🌈
Bash said: "But what I wanna ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you ‘happened’ to turn Black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity.”
Where was the question? That's simply a statement about what Trump said.
Politico's headline is outrageous, but what was Bash even trying to do here? Because it reads like she was trying to ask (without asking) if Harris is black, which is just as weird and absurd as Trump's original comment.
Harris's reply is great because it applies both to Trump's racism and the problem with journalists giving these comments anything more than ridicule.
How many people already suffer today or die early because of inadequate care and lack of affordable medications?
Fuck their hypothetical diminished future profits and solve today's real problems that will save lives and increase quality of life.
Its use looks contrived to me on the linked GitHub page. The comparison with @ and # is flawed because those symbols are part of the resource name, whereas here the symbol is superfluous. It's like adding a 🌐 in front of every web URL.
Proof of work, which becomes computationally expensive to scale, along with other heuristics based on your browser and page interaction. I believe it's less about clicking the box and what happens after you've clicked the box.
You know what would be great, would be to hold these weirdos liable for the time and expense that public agencies have incurred to deal with the bomb threats and idiots they've directly incited.
