    We don’t always have the time and some ideas are too complex.

    But this is what good teachers are good at. You need to relate to your student before you can teach them anything.

    “Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing about either.” -Marshall Macluhan.

    People are not entertained by “you are wrong I am right.” Literally nobody is. There’s an art to teaching.














  • Fun fact: it is trivially easy and costs $0 to track an individual through their ad identifier. They’re not supposed to uniquely identify people, but you really just have to drill down like a dozen or so variables and you’ll uniquely identify just about anyone with a smart phone.

    Hey, random person for whom this describes, are you

    -Aged 30-34 -White -Male -Educated -Spends a lot of time near you work address -Spends a lot of time near you home address -Spends some time where you vacation the exact time you usually vacation there -Is a 49ers fan -Likes artisanal coffee -Android user -Listens to late 90s and early 00s metal -Wears pants size 38/32.

    Guess what there’s like 3 of you in the world. And we can get all 3 ad ids in the real time bidding market and track all 3 of you until we deduce which one is you.

    Now I know where any person for whom I perform these steps is located, basically in real time.

    It’s that bad. It’s a well known issue with I guess too much money behind it to fix? Idk.
