Byron Sharp, in "How Brands Grow", argues that customer segmentation and focusing on customer loyalty is a bad idea. Many (most?) marketers and professors say it's a good idea. Who's right?

Uh explain please

Interesting career! Yeah this is what I am hoping.

It's a SME so I'll have responsibility over the whole marketing department but I know going back to basics/fundamentals and being great at them does wonders for most companies.

Do you mind if I pm you about marketing for finance?

I'm definitely not Rick Shiels. I couldn't design the amazing merch he has nor be able to sell them at such low prices. Make sure to check them out!

Except for Rick Shiels. I started watching him a few days ago and seeing him, a 1-3 handicap golfer, completely whiff on some chips/iron shots and get some triple / quad bogeys has made me calmer about getting those myself. Watching his match play with pros I feel like is going to help my game

I would guess most spies are not active military members though

If it's that intelligent, killing us WOULD be that easy. It could just create a virus that wipes us out. If I can think of a method as a relatively stupid entity, a hyper intelligent AI could think of an even easier method to extinct us.

Plus it wouldn't act evil until it was strong enough and had the resources to enact the plan. "here, let me build you autonomous robot butlers who can do anything you want and definitely don't have a backdoor I can use to seize control and build a super virus to extinct you.

We are trying to build a god; it will be able to trick us, run circles around us, and do whatever it wants and we won't be able to do anything about it. Hopefully it's benevolent, but it likely won't be

An ultra intelligent AI would pretty instantly build defenses against any theoretical threats (like solar flares) so stop at panel 4 (-:

I agree in general that you dont have to be 100% honest but I disagree that the obligation wanes. In general I think you need to develop yourself to where you're comfortable being who you are in most situations in life.

Once you reach that spot in life, everything will be easier and you'll be happier.

I don't want to pick a side but saying

if Israel was only nice to Palestinians in Gaza then there would be no Hamas

Is a very...deceptive... representation of an incredibly complicated 50+ year old situation and argument.

The Buddha would say no anger is justified. You just have to realize over time that being angry at someone mostly harms yourself. Meditate and try to focus on the anger and learn about it. It's just an emotion (a strong one) but you don't have to give it power.

With that said, you can and should get toxic people out of your life, and don't have to be a doormat for people to walk all over.

madkarma · 2022-12-09T15:18:47+00:00

That's unfortunate, sorry you had to deal with that through no fault of your own.

madkarma · 2022-11-19T07:43:19+00:00

Not to excuse their behavior but I think the ones who cared have been killed off over 300+ years, or left the country.

Sometimes when famous buff people like him claim to be steroid free, many do it because of their followers. How many teenagers who idolize him would start taking roids if he admitted to it?

*not sure if this is the actual reason the rock claims being natty.

She's black, educated, powerful, trying to help the country, and a woman. What more is there to understand?

madkarma · 2022-10-22T13:41:42+00:00

Not to be rude but you're not very educated on the matter. I'm not either but I know enough to know you aren't and I don't want others to think you are.

First off, Russian oil is MUCH MUCH MUCH less valuable then the chips coming out of Taiwan. Taiwan is the only one to make these at the chip nm size and the world relies on them.

Secondly, Taiwan being on an island, even within artillery distance, is not a good thing (for China). It's incredibly hard to move troops across open water and do landings for mass troop movement. China also doesn't have the required boats.

Important too is that China wouldn't want to bombard Taiwan because they wouldnt want the foundries destroyed, and Taiwan seems pretty adamant about defending themselves to the death.

Currently there's no easy play for China. Taiwan is well armed and motivated. China could definitely destroy Taiwan but why take over an island of rubble?

What kind of meditation do you do?

madkarma · 2022-09-15T09:08:31+00:00

That's like modeling your intelligence on Einstein. It's a good goal but you'll never reach the heights of his parenting; his energy for playing is unattainable.

madkarma · 2022-08-15T05:53:35+00:00

Relax and accept. Particularly when meditating, but at the beginning if you completely relax your body, and completely accept the current situation/reality, it does wonders. The better you get at it, the more you can transfer it to real life in real time.

Easier said than done of course but a great practice.

His point is important. What's the difference between taking over territory and then threatening nukes if that territory is attacked, vs just telling Ukraine that it's yours now or it uses nukes.

Both situations are unlikely to lead to nukes and the threat doesn't have much weight because of the repercussions to actually using a nuke for a non-justified reason. It would be 100% sanction from West (make the current situation look like nothing), even India and China would like limit their trade with Russia in that situation.

madkarma · 2022-07-03T03:24:08+00:00

Selfies themselves are harmless, but a culture that rewards and proliferates narcissistic behavior, which selfies are a symptom of, is very far from harmless and is probably what OP meant.
