I tried this but lasted only a day using ChatGPT instead of Google

I haven't found a list like you've specified as it is an emerging field, however I would recommend aligning yourself with langchain which seems to be leading in the area. They have a great amount of resources and tutorials, I would start with the deeplearning.ai short course.

This is the case with all neural nets/black box AI models and a lot are used in various industries.

Basecamp is the best reading I've found on this. https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47...

Great comment, I can fill in some of your references.

The Essay you were referring to is the brilliant "The Gervais Principle"

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

Reforge talks about your cycle - I can't find the exact artcile but you can see it with marketplaces a lot - i.e. Facebook creates APIs for events, 3rd parties build platforms on these APIs, Facebook kills the API access. This is the closest article I could find related to "tactics" https://www.reforge.com/blog/growth-loops

I've been working in Digital Analytics for 10 years as a freelancer for SMEs and implementations for billion dollar companies. I am very comfortable saying for 99% of websites there is no better alternative, paid or free to GA4 and based your requirements you fit into that 99%. Happy to debate this in comments.

edit: I believe the 1% exceptions are:

- if you are a are a tech company

- run multiple Adobe tools (CMS, CRM)

- have niche privacy requirements

- have an app

Yep, one game I follow Hearthstone Battlegrounds has had a majority of funding for events slashed by Activision Blizzard. Very unfortunate for the professional players who are incentivised more to be successful streamers rather than competitive gamers and us fans.

Love these for finite state machines - one of my favourite topics at uni.

I saw a life coach for 12 weeks and a therapist weekly for a year - similar cost. I found the therapy (gestalt/CBT) much more beneficial in general but like a muscle it needs to be maintained. The life coach was quite interesting at the time but what they called "self limiting doubts" was framed a lot better through psychotherapy.

But about half of average Australian household assets are held in the value of the home, accounting for an average $A509,000 out of a total average household assets of $A1.1 million.

I did this during lockdown here's some comments.

- It was not as fun or engaging as weightlifting. I agree with @gateorade about the progression too. - I have a background in weightlifting and so was not worried about injuries - Gloves help quite a bit with annoying hand issues - Some exercises are very ineffective - i.e. back - I think they are more suitable as a more involved stretching routine than as a workout replacement - You can buy no name brand sets VERY cheap

I am overweight, if I wasn't overweight I would do bodyweight exercises. I have never tried yoga but maybe thats helpful too.

I also agree with top comment that dumbells and a bench are much better.

There are a massive amount of people doing this with their ads or affiliate programs - I suggest looking at affiliate lab or authority hacker which are paid courses but have a lot of examples and interviews of founders who operate in this space. Also Empire Flippers does write a lot about these businesses.

It is always a battle of strict taxonomy vs agility in my experience and in nearly every company I've worked for someone somewhere chose agility. And all it takes is one poorly thought out migration/project to undermine the whole activity of taxonomy. Believe me most large businesses with multi-million dollar investments in digital analytics aren't even doing the most basic campaign tracking correctly, let alone worrying about taxonomy.

I always try to align names with internally used terminology but even a simple thing like "log out" can be complicated for self-service reporting. For example is USER_LOGGED_OUT a dimension (fired on all events), fired by an event listener on a button click or fired after a user-session is cleared by the applet. Are the differences between each platform/operating system?

I don't think theres anything better than good documentation (even within the tag management system) and testing tools like Amplitude's event explorer so that analysts can actually verify what has happened. A few analytics vendors have written about this and segment uses the object-action framework like you've suggested. https://segment.com/academy/collecting-data/naming-conventio...

Currently reading “never split the difference” and one of my takeaways has been for negotiations (or trust-building in general), people are anxious/frustrated about saying “no”, so enabling an environment where people can say no allows for better trust.

Personally understanding how neurotic/anxious I am empowers me to be able to say no, as I try to consciously be aware that subconsciously I am less likely to say no when it’s in my best interest.

I would replace this with cutting out processed meat or even just cooking more - ever tried to eat roast chicken without any greens on the side?
