The last name "Goodenough" is of English origin. It is an occupational surname derived from the Middle English term "godenough," which means "good enough" or "satisfactory." The name likely originated as a nickname or a description for someone who was deemed competent, capable, or satisfactory in their profession or tasks.
In some cases, the surname may have also been a locational name, referring to someone who resided in a place called Goodenough or a similar variant. However, this is less common compared to the occupational origin.
Like many surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of "Goodenough" may have varied over time and across different regions. Variations of the name can be found, such as Goodenow or Goodenowes.
It's worth noting that surnames have complex and diverse origins, and multiple factors can contribute to the development of a particular surname. Different branches of a family may have different origins or variations of the name, so it's always recommended to research the specific family history to obtain more accurate information.
The answer is Direct Response (aka performance) advertising where they only pay if there was a directly measurable action taken (e.g., app install, or online store purchase).
During recessions, companies are going to move their ad spend from places with questionable ROI to those they can directly measure the impact on.
Thanks to Hollywood, American TV shows, and the Internet being predominantly US/English dominated, every country understands America more than the other way round.
Interesting that Marakkesh is listed as 1070CE.
Marakkesh is where the 'gladiator' Maximus fights, and moves to Rome from, in the movie. That's during the reign of Commodus, which places it at around 190CE.
Why? They do a pretty good job of distilling information and presenting them in a way most people can understand.
They most likely did that through triangulation, which is too coarse for contact tracing.
Just 'donating to creators' works in cultures where asking for donations and giving donations is alright. There are cultures (most developing nations in Asia) where openly asking for donations is frowned upon, and donating to non-charitable organizations isn't considered normal either because most people don't have the disposable income to just give away.
Buying things for daily needs, and advertising for them is still normal.
Unless you're willing to turn Youtube into a 'Developed western countries only thing'(which already exists - it's called Youtube premium), advertising is a better option.
Spanish flu was very closely intertwined with the war, because of which people were kept in the dark almost everywhere. Lack of reporting translates to lack of awareness of the pandemic which translates to people working and shopping fearlessly.
The difference now is that people know there's a pandemic, and many would be averse to go out working, or shopping even though the scale is much lower than that of Spanish flu.
Random tidbit:. It's named Spanish flu because that's one of the few places where it was reported, because it wasn't involved in ww1 and had no reason to shut down the press. Everyone thought the flu epidemic was in Spain.
Comments below indicate people's shock at the price: $1500.
ReMarkable isn't cheap either: $400
>> everyone already knows what they need and where to get it.
You're overestimating people ability to know what they want, and moreso where to get it.
People often (wrongly) refer to pre-IPO companies as startups.
Chick-fil-a, the chicken sandwich 40 year old startup.
>> Is taking your hands off the steering wheel much better?
Yes. Most drivers are able to drive using one hand for a short period of time.
Not so with eyes off the road.
In fact, it's a requirement in most countries where stick shift is the norm.
Wise decision. It wouldn't have gone well with the Twitterati.
Also, there are better ways to spend resources and digital real estate at the moment (say, just give ad discounts to small businesses) than to create pranks.
Why is bootcamp bad? How'bout schools?
Self motivation is much harder than you think, and a little nudge from a bootcamp may be what most people need before they become 'self motivated'.
As far as I know, asymptotic people aren't even being tested for covid-19, because of the test kits shortage.
If you don't test someone for coronavirus prior to the death (or even after), it doesn't get attributed to coronavirus
This usually doesn't work with novel viruses.
A more plausible explanation is that chinese immigration into India is tiny. So we're one or two degree removed from the original epicenter. But it's only a matter of time, now that the epicenter has moved to the west.
Bought this yesterday after seeing this post trending. You echo my sentiment perfectly. I was particularly disappointed at the flashcards being one sided. Not seeking refund for the same reason as you.
IMO flashcards are more useful if you build them yourself and try to recall the context around it, not just what's in the flashcard. Doesn't have to be flashy, though flashiness may help with retention.
So the classic argument of 'trickle down economics'. I"d wager that that $1k will just go into their bank account, like their bonus would.
There's a market for that geared towards senior citizens (they show up in daytime tv ads).
They'll exist as long as there's a market for it.
That said, the definition of 'dumb' phone is going to vary, and senior citizens in 30 years will be seeking what looks like today's iPhone, or an android phone. Maybe.
"The flying taxi market may be ready for takeoff" just like how Level 5 autonomous cars were "just around the corner" 4 years ago.
The moment it causes a death, the dates will be pushed ahead by a few years, and VC money will dry down meanwhile.
That's because it's not just about you. Things you post are things that are meant to be interesting to your followers (so that they spend time on the newsfeed where ads can be injected).
And believe or not, users only find recent things interesting. You may be interested in your old content, but your followers are not, and they'd have have likely already seen your old content.
Because if users posting screenshots of fleets becomes a common thing, users would be averse to post fleets?
and from what I've heard, they give X RSU, and don't tell what that would be worth till you accept the offer and start working for them.
It's almost impossible for a single mad scientist to do it all on their own. Cloning requires tremendous amount of money and equipments.
Considering how socially unaccepted human cloning currently it, it'll most likely have to be a highly secretive government project
Having grown up in small town India where in the 90s $100 per month was the norm for most and $500 per month would quality you as the top 5% in that town, I still find it hard to throw away things like empty bottles or cardboard boxes or paper towels (and that's with a silicon valley engineering wage).
I'm just getting used to being ok with wastage as I constantly have to force myself out of my old mindset in order to think bigger.
You're saying that programmers have a unique set of skills which is why they're paid so much.
And in the next sentence you're questioning why CEOs get paid so much. A good CEO or CFO or CMO can generate value for the company at a scale that's much much larger than what a single programmer does.
During Satya Nadella's reign as the CEO, Microsoft went from people speculating its impending demise to a trillion dollar company. Don't you think he deserves a billion from that $700bn rise in market cap?
TSLA stock will tank the moment Elon Musk decides to step down? In a cynical world, maybe he's just a figurehead and there are others running the show behind the scene, but creating such persona is still something that a CEO has to do.
This is the same old Tesla vs Edison discussion. It's a common misconception among people that it's enough to be a genius lone worker to be able to provide value to a company.
Nepali people use a similar method for gossiping. The syllables are reversed, making it hard for people around to understand what they're saying. Only the two conversing know what they're talking about and they've done it for long enough that they can easily parse through it.
It's a hard skill to master, which is why it's easy to assume those around don't understand what's being talked about.
