I’m guessing it’s completely incidental that the CEO of crowdstrike was critical of China earlier this year, and that China is somehow unaffected by this ‘global’ issue!
That’s the same with a lot of hype in SEO circles. It’s the usual loud voices making a big deal out of it, but when you get down to the actual practicalities, not much changes.
Not least because very little of it is conclusive in terms of what Google do and don’t use, weightings, etc
It’s most valuable because it shows up a lot of googles public statements where they’ve said they don’t even consider certain things, with this implying they very definitely do in some capacity
Perhaps surprisingly to the HN community, a lot of what is coming out confirms what decent SEOs have been saying for years (and appears to contradict a lot of what Google have said publicly via their various talking heads)
to be fair to obama, let's not pretend he didn't have an army of super smart planners, strategists and analysts behind him in various corners of the pentagon, the CIA and the NSA that led him to that decision
Sure, but were those super smart planners, strategists, and analysts just providing plans, strategy, and analysis that Obama already agreed with? Romney saw Russia for what it was in 2012 - Obama/Romney vote percents in 2012 was 51/47, a fairly close election. If Romney did win, would all of those planners/strategists/analysts be trying to convince Romney that Russia wasn't a threat, or would he just have had a different set that were telling him Russia is a major threat?
The reality is, the Obama administration kept drawing red lines that kept getting stepped over with no consequences. Syria, Iran, ISIS...Russia saw that and that there'd be no real consequences. Same thing happening now with the Biden foreign policy of "don't". Might call it the anti-Roosevelt doctrine: speak timidly, and what stick?
Same. Except my 3 year old watches quite a bit of TV and I frequently use my phone in front of him (the latter I am working on, the former I am not too bothered about within reason)
I think screen time is proxy for something else, maybe general parental attention. You can have plenty and watch TV, or have no screen time and no attention either.
A child's day is long and has very few responsibilities, there is plenty of time for attentive, creative playing even around an hour or two of screen time.
My first ever job was a placement during university -- like a year in industry.
It was a regular-joe IT support job at an eLearning company (if they still exist).
The FD walked past me one day, having just left what was clearly a deeply uncomfortable meeting.
He stopped in his tracks and asked, quite abruptly, why I didn't ever seem to look busy. I replied - with the arrogance of a cocky 20 year old - that it was because, right now, everything is working as it should. Nothing is broken and people are working and productive, which is because of the work of the IT department.
The company later become insolvent and was dissolved. So it turns out it might have been him who should have been busier, and he was just taking it out on me.
