Not sure what the next one is, but the last one will be the “War on internal terror” aka IWOT. After that it’s over

You ignored something as bluntly unlawful as orwelian Patrioct Act becouse it was happening to “them”. The ammended one will happen to you.

Ok, but ir’s a cheat code for non-existing problem since non of those countries tax you with addituonal tarifs.

You are observing just one side of the equation: people who watched adds are using a product.

You don’t see the other part that is the problem. Cos of running those ads is higher than a profit gained from additional sales.

I’m taking mostly about CPC, yes.

But you put all this long-term content marketing on sites that have massive traffic… which they have bexouse they are free. And they are free becouse they are financed by CPC ads. Would they be worth it behind the paywall reaching 1/1000th of the audience? Burst of the PPC bubble will take town a lot of placements with it.

Also, also I would be very cautious about studies proving the long-term efficiency of contend advertising, since those studies are inherently hard to design. Often.wjat you are measuring is basicly brand recognition, which grow over time by the virtue of running your business.

As for now there is somewhat meaningful body of evidence that advertising works well in early stagas. Your potential clients exist somewhere, and you need to inform them that you exists. Money well spent.

But once you cross that threshold… all sugest that Coca-Cola and oreo are loosing money on every dolar spent on advertising… we knew it before, and Digital Marketing was promosed to be the solution thanks to advenced tracking and analytic. It’s not. It’s just as ineffective, and it’s getting worse every year.

Thank you. At glance it seems like the difference between CC0 and CC-SA in copyright with some additiona rules about what exactly count as “publishing” stuf. That was very helpful.

So… OP’s “hot” take is “losers exist”?

What’s the main difference between those licenses?

Not a coder. But knowing basic regex, makes my life so much easier. Even in things like excel.

But that’s just inconsistent with the state of of current scientific knowledge.

Being poor makes you less likely to make a long term decision, not the other way around. In societies where income varies from season to season, you literally have less smokers when the money situation is good and more when the situation is bad. Long story short fighting for survival is extremely cognitively tasking. Thinking and planing is, literally, harder if you burned those resources on “what to put on the table… today”, problems.

People are default “opportunistic”. We need to design the environment to give them more oportunities to do good and less to do bad if we want to see “wholesome” channels grow.

Digital Marketing doesn’t work. Digital Bubble is here and it will burst hard ending the “free internet” in a process. The more you work in marketing, the less you are inclined to agree… or even listen…

This will not be preaty.

Very cool.

Alternative headline: Hospital administration getting prises from cancer.

It walks, sounds, smells and looks like a bullshit. I wonder what could it be?

It doesn’t. Mostly becouse it doesn’t have to. Your online behavior is easier accessible and a better predictor… (pretty bad over-all, but still better. Digital Marketing Bubble is bursting!)

That’s why I find idea that no gamer in Ready Player One tried running a car backward offensive.

Ok. Let’s take a step back

You have companies in Poland. Let’s call them A, B and C.

And we have company D in USA.

One of those A,B,C is a “child” of company D. Other two simply do business with company D.

Company D in they finacial statmet - that is a 3rd party statment that you have no rights to audit in any way, in some cases it want even be avaible to you - claim that they earned $10M from each A, B and C. (This is the “hearsay” becouse it’s an information form outside your bouble of control. You have no way of verifying it. US gov have, but they are 3rd party to you and company A, B and C)

A, B, and C each in their tax reports created for you claim that those $10M is their cost.

In case of one you say “no, it’s not your cost, it’s your profit”.

What specific difference between A, B, C makes you say that? One is similarly named to D? It won’t be, by next tax year. All all registered in Poland. All have polish board. All spand money at company D. What’s the difference? What parameter would you choose to tax one of those but not the other?

I would argue “rule of law” is not relevant to American oligarchs.

I agree. But it’s relevant to me.

I want my government to work within the rules. I don’t want my government to be able to tax people on "strongly hold opinion"s and "everybody knows"es.

I’m not saying that taxes can’t be improvement. But taxing international companies is extremely complex problem. No one found completely bulletproof solution yet, and it’s almost impossible to do unilaterally without multiple sides collaborating. Everytime someone say “the should just…” it’s a gross oversimplification that present reality where solution is obvious and everyone not implementing it gave bad will or lack competency or gut.

I’m thinking “rule of law”. Is that their terms? You can’t arbitrary tax someone with “I know how much you REALLY earned” alone.

And when you quantify it they will beat it in your own game.

That’s not unreasonable. That’s a law-suit. They will get back all this money with surplus.

Imagine that you have a company A. And you legitimately licens something from 3rd party company B. That’s your cost.

And you license something else from company C… that’s your profit some how?

On paper your relationship with company B and C is identical. There is nothing tangible linking you to company C more than B.

And if you manage to find something, they will shift the structure and change it.

You probably pay higher taxes than some of those companies.

Pirates. Enemies of the human kind.
