  2. Re: Shitty Consultants on Is Online Advertising Worthless? (zerohedge.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not if you value your money. You should analyze it yourself. The most important metrics being dollars out, vs dollars in. Even if you business is based on long term sales conversion, you can save cookie, or the user id if they create an account to monitor the value of a customer from your ad campaign. Advertising based on brand building is probably a waste.

  8. Re: Antenna is cheaper on Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, over the air digital plus Netflix and youtube is all I ever need. $10 / month. If you like sports, or watch a lot of tv you're probably better off with cable. I'd rather be outside riding my bike than watching tv.

    Don't use either one. There are plenty of great smaller vps cloud providers. My infrastructure is split between digitalocean, linode and vultur for fault tollerance. I can drop one in a second if they have packetloss, downtime or increase prices too high.

    Soundcloud was almost really cool, just missed the mark a bit.

  17. It is unusual to not have social media accounts of some type. I'd say it either makes you some kind of dangerous outcast or quiet geiunus. However I think many employers will not be thinking the genius part.

  18. Love technology, but this is true on Students Are Better Off Without a Laptop In the Classroom (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I love technology, but the classroom is better off with with pen and paper. Studies and personal experience show you don't learn well taking notes on a keyboard. Not even considering the distraction that comes along with tech like games and such. Naturally we should have computer skills classes with computers.
