AB Testing – Kezako

if it is free, you are [not] the product

_“If it is free, you are the product” _ This statement is an easy shot. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are free because they use our data. Therefore we are bound to agree to this fact or simply close our social account and disconnect from the rest of the world.But is it really true? Can we never see anything offered for free that is not perverted at its core? It is not what you think The usual argument says : “Free for the users, means that you have to pay with your privacy and the reason for it is that since you are not willing to pay for the service, then somebody has to – hence advertisers“....

le ecommerce continue sa croissance

Plus de 20 milliards d’euros. C’est la somme dépensé sur Internet en France sur le 1er trimestre 2017 – selon un rapport de la FevadC’est 14,2% de plus par rapport à la même période l’an passé. Certes, le rythme s’est ralenti – si l’on compare aux progressions des dernières années – ce qui traduit une autre tendance: l’e-commerce devient une partie intégrale des habitudes de consommation des français. Cette croissance est due à une forte augmentation du nombre de transactions (d’achats) avec quand même près de 290 millions de transactions sur le trimestre....

Finish your ideas

We all have ideas. Sometime we don’t even realise we do, as we don’t always pay attention to the flow of our mind. Some ideas come and pass and never come back. Some stick around. Sometime we turn these ideas into action. But even then we seldom finish them.  Parkinson’s law Parkinson’s law is a project-management rule of thumb stating that : “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”...

How big is Google?

I was working earlier on a post on privacy, then realised I cannot even start to give a proper introduction to it without laying down some facts first. So, there will be no jumping straight into the subject of privacy, centralisation of the internet, and how politics is affecting the internet as a whole. Instead, we will take a couple of posts to really define the current state of the internet, also give an historical perspective, before diving into the core of the subject....

Do what you can’t

They did not know it was impossible so they did it — Mark Twain  Rules, somehow, always, seems to be a barrier to innovation.   Status-quo is cultural protectionism The status-quo creates artificial scarcity. Because it promotes the lack of initiative It supports business as usual. The status-quo is opposed to disruption, to change, to innovation. It is opposed to improvement.

Milgram experiment, company culture, work ethics

Or why “do as you are told” is a bad idea. In 1964, Stanley Milgram back then a young researcher at Yale University, published the resultsa famous experiment known to this day as the Milgram Experiment. The set up is simple: The subject of the experiment takes part himself in a (staged) experiment supposed to study the impact of pain on memory and learning.
