Water Cooler / Re: Considering sending my oldest to High School in the US for a year, but..

>A year studying in the US might be better at a University level.
And **THEN** NC would be a great choice. Ironically, given the poor secondary schools, we have a well-regarded state university system.

>NC or SC
You're aware that public schools in NC|SC are often considered to be inadequate? IMO, unless you got lucky with a particular school, scholastics would suffer.

Th3core, 2013: Google breaks promise - banner ad experiment
http://th3core.com/talk/traffic/google-breaks-promise-banner-ad-experiment/msg29249/#msg29249
"The possibility exists in 2013 that the absolute revenues of the major players will decline as desktop revenues suffer and mobile revenues fail to make up the difference, even as they grow dramatically. This nightmare scenario is key to understanding what is driving bad behavior by marketers and product leaders."
"In the absence of long-term thinking, all streams will eventually turn into marketing-infested flows."

>manipulation is easy
I'm guessing that they'll pick up 5% more votes with that trick, maybe even higher.
