I recommend that you have time, patience, and a long-term mindset. If you want to implement Lean SEO and have some questions, you can email me at anytime. You can take this at your own pace, and you'll have access to it forever. I also show a multitude of examples from Starter Story and other sites. I walk through the entire framework in about 3 hours of screencasts + 100 slides. What happened in July? That's what this course is all about! Through these experiments, we eventually landed on multiple big content opportunities.Īnd when we got serious about this framework, we 4x'd our search traffic in 6 months. Instead of spending weeks on one piece of content that may never pan out, we run dozens of experiments at once. (5) Scale: Scale it when something works, using structured data, automation, outsourcing, and UGCĪnd do this across many 'experiments', simultaneously & in parallel.īy using this framework, we make many small bets with an iterative approach.

12/18/2023 0 Comments Examples of harm principle![]() ![]() ![]() People need as much solid reliable data to make an informed decision. 99.97% chance of being fatal for the average person does not constitute breaking and defying anybody’s liberties. There has to be proper reporting and documentation. How about we demand how many of the actual deaths being reported are caused by Covid. This is for a virus that kills less people than the flu. These are experimental drugs being released with no data on what the long term and multi generational affects are. Not all but the most “effective” vaccines include cell mutating RNA. The fact that all of these are being released with emergency clearance from the government for the FDA. If cigarettes are regulated because of the risk of secondhand smoke, encouraging COVID vaccination seems like a no-brainer. But let’s also accept that we must allow for the prospect that the state might have a role to play here. I would much rather peacefully and comfortably comb the aisles of Walmart and Costco without a mask but with my vaccination certificate.įreedom and responsibility are tied at the hip, and we are at the point where we must individually agree to act swiftly and responsibly to help save lives – let’s get vaccinated as soon as possible and save the lives of others. Private businesses should take the same steps. Care to enter a public building? You need to document you’ve been vaccinated. Want a driver’s license? Show me your COVID vaccination. One might even use the rather unpopular word “nudge”. But just as schools require children to be vaccinated before attending, it seems to me that requiring a COVID vaccine for certain activities is a way to “encourage” such behavior. Should those of us who defend liberty endorse the idea that the state should set up mandatory vaccination clinics and drag people out of their homes in the night to vaccinate them? Obviously not. ![]() While this runs contrary to the intuition one might expect, individuals who reject the vaccine are obviously violating the harm principle. So for those of us who defend the concept of liberty, vaccines seem to be an example where perhaps the state can and should use its coercive power to force citizens to be vaccinated, assuming the vaccine is deemed safe and effective. By not getting vaccinated individuals make hitting the herd immunity threshold a longer and more difficult goal to achieve, putting others directly at risk. The harm principle states that the only reason to restrict the actions of individuals is to prevent harm to others. However, libertarians and liberty-minded individuals also very much believe in John Stuart Mill’s “ harm principle ”. So what should a liberty-minded person think about the role that the state should play in getting the public as widely vaccinated as soon as possible? Initially, one might believe that a libertarian would make this an individual decision – a person has the right to decide to do what she sees as best. As I have noted elsewhere, at the moment public trust in our political leadership is not especially high, for good reasons. Public officials have to convince the public that the vaccine is effective in helping to solve the pandemic and safe. Īnd yet as Ron Bailey over at Reason has adroitly noted – vaccines don’t in and of themselves solve the problem unless the vaccinations are widespread enough to help achieve herd immunity. If you think vaccines cause autism you’re just dead wrong. I don’t need to make a lengthy case that such beliefs fly in the face of reality, so I won’t. Just last year before the pandemic hit there was a lot of discussion about the problems that have arisen as a result of the decisions by so-called “anti vaxxers-” those who refuse to take vaccines or have them administered to their children for either religious reasons or because they doubt the veracity of the science behind them. Three former presidents- Clinton, Bush and Obama- have all volunteered to receive the vaccine live in order to reassure the public over its safety. The bad news is that public distrust about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine is surprisingly widespread and it’s particularly high among African-Americans, according to NPR. The good news? We have several very promising vaccines that should be available fairly soon – in fact in record time. 2020 has gone from being an all bad news year, to what I guess can be described as a good news/bad news kind of year. ![]() 12/18/2023 0 Comments Xps to word download![]() ![]() Specify /OpenXPS to convert the document(s) to OpenXPS or /XPS to convert the document(s) to Microsoft XPS (MSXPS).

But it's undeniable that Mustard, at the very least, popularized this sound, and it was amoral club anthem "Rack City" that proved prophetic. There's some controversy over exactly who originated the sound-there's some evidence producers in the Bay Area were working with a suspiciously similar thump in years previous, and producer Mike Free eventually sued Mustard, saying he'd created this record. But the consistency of his work served the purpose of making slight tinkering with the formula feel like a revelation every time, veering into R&B, interpolating house music, and upping the tempo on dance floors coast to coast. And none of Mustard's hits matched it for three years, even as he took over the rap game, until 2014's "Na Na " and "Don't Tell Em." Of course, the West Coast's club-rap takeover-which only now, in 2015, seems to be breaking slightly-suggested to many that Mustard was simply remaking the same beat over and over. When it dropped, few expected "Rack City" to take over the world. Listen to Complex's Greatest Hip-Hop Beats playlists here: YouTube/ Spotify/ Apple MusicĪlbum: Careless World: Rise of the Last King Without further ado, Complex presents the 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Beats of All Time. They've inspired, they've influenced, and they've been the impetus for a million neck-breaking nods. Ultimately, though, every production on this list is irrefutably essential to the advancement of the genre we hold so dear. As a result, a lot of classics were cut, and some of rap's best producers may not be fully represented. When dealing with 30-plus years of music, a hundred slots fill quickly. Ultimately, we drew up a perfect formula to determine an unassailable list of the best rap beats ever, full stop. Those factors and more were considered by Complex over a drawn-out process involving constant debate, strategically deployed rhetoric, diplomacy, and fist-throwing that went all the way to the top. It can be broken down even further: Is the bigger, more-popular song the better beat? Or is it the underground smash that influenced the mainstream? Is it the track that best epitomizes an era, or is it the one that pushed the edge? To qualify the best beats, do we look at production that stands out apart from the verses and the hook, or is it the beat that complements those components perfectly? How do you weigh those against, say, a lush vintage loop from the Hitmen or a crossover pop smash from Timbaland? Consider the clattering, found-sound effects of DJ Premier's best mid-'90s beats, or the raw, drum machine-oriented backdrops of '80s rap, designed to shock the system. For example: How do you rank the disco instrumentals of early hip-hop with the layered samples and filtered bass lines of golden-era New York rap? How do you rank Too $hort's trunk-rattling bass against Swizz Beatz's erratic Triton keyboard swipes? There are unlimited measuring sticks by which production can be compared. One of the biggest challenges in writing a list of the best beats of all time? The genre's soundscape is so wide-ranging and incredibly diverse that it creates some difficult calculation issues to work through. They're at the beginning and the end of the creative process that goes into each of these songs. They dictate the time-signature, the tempo, the tone of the lyrics. It's the cornerstone of every song, the foundation lyrics are built upon. ![]() It's arguably the most important element of hip-hop. The reason "beats" comes first? Production.
