Can't run FB ads on your own profile?
No problem.
Here's how you use a virtual browser to run ads safely on someone else's FB account.
** Thread **
In order for this to work, you need to have permission from someone to use their FB profile.
Whether that's a friend/family of yours or some random guy/gal you pay.
Because you'll need the login information to their FB profile.
Just a heads up.
A virtual browser is the best solution I've found for this.
A remote access tool like Splashtop is an alternative option but the user has to have their computer on if you want to access it.
This can create a bunch of headaches which is why I prefer to use a virtual browser.
It allows you to access the user's computer alongside them so you're able to log on whenever you like no matter if the user is using their computer or not.
I'm sure there are a bunch of options for virtual browsers but I use Multilogin ==> https://t.co/RF6s0Mto8f
99% of you will be fine with the Solo package which is around $100 a month.
Small price to pay, if this is the only option you have to run ads.
No problem.

Amazon wasn't always Amazon.

Jeff Bezos originally had trouble finding the right word to name the now trillion-dollar empire.
A few registered domains, a dictionary, and an interesting comparison made Amazon the perfect name.

Hey #EconTwitter: For the first time in 20 years, I am not spending my first week of January at the @ASSAMeeting. It's a weird feeling; I've always enjoyed showing off new books, connecting with friends, and talking with economists about new ideas 1/25
As with so much else, #ASSA2021 will be a new (hopefully one-off) experience; and even though I'm not standing by a booth in a sub-basement of the Hyatt Regency Chicago, I'd like to introduce you to some recent and forthcoming books in #economics from @yalepress 2/25
First up is CAUSAL INFERENCE: THE MIXTAPE by @causalinf. The short description is that this is a toolkit for economists and other social scientists to untangle cause and effect, but this book is so much more than that 3/25
It is a labor of love by @causalinf; a guide through one of the most important ideas in economics; and an indispensable "second book" for any econometrics course. It is also the only book you'll ever see that has been endorsed by both @JustinWolfers and @officialyoungmc 4/25
If you've used the online version of the Mixtape in the past, this edition is wholly revised and expanded, with coding for both R and Stata. An HTML version will be accessible at https://t.co/QSvOJb0HSG. You'll want the physical book as well; they are complementary goods 5/25

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".
The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.
Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)
There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.
At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
Imagine for a moment the most obscurantist, jargon-filled, po-mo article the politically correct academy might produce. Pure SJW nonsense. Got it? Chances are you're imagining something like the infamous "Feminist Glaciology" article from a few years back.https://t.co/NRaWNREBvR pic.twitter.com/qtSFBYY80S

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."
MAKE PRODUCTS.
Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
