just now (1402+ words) Here's where we are right now: Google Analytics 4 still feels like learning a new language, third-party cookies are mostly gone, and your CFO wants to know exactly which marketing dollar drove which sale. Oh, and you need to do all this while respecting privacy regulations that seem to multiply every quarter. Welcome to marketing analytics in late 2025. But here's the thing'there's actually a viable path forward that doesn't involve either violating privacy laws or reverting to "spray and pray" marketing tactics. It's called synthetic data, and it's moving from academic research papers into actual marketing technology faster than most people realize. I'm not going to pretend this is simple. It's not. But it's also not as complicated as the whitepapers make it sound. Synthetic data is artificially generated information that maintains the statistical properties of real data without containing any…...

1+ min ago (498+ words) Dear Miss Manners: My 30-year-old cousin is getting married, and my relatives believe she is doing everything wrong. In fact, a growing list of the bride-to-be's "inappropriate" wedding choices has become the family's favorite topic, especially among the 65+ ladies (all discussed behind my cousin's back, of course). There are many more alleged faux pas, including the cut of the bride's gown and the schedule of the hotel shuttle, but these are the most discussed. I've argued that most of these decisions are up to the bride. But because I'm only 44, a member of an unfortunately "ignorant" generation, my opinions have been ignored. And so, I appeal to you, Miss Manners " a respectable lady who specializes in etiquette " to determine if these complaints are valid or not. The expression "It's their day, and they can do whatever they want" has done…...

1+ min ago (353+ words) Christmas holidays in Germany are the main family holiday. Christmas and the so-called Advent (special Sunday services that begin a month before Christmas) are an integral tradition. In 2025, according to the DPA agency, citing a study conducted jointly with YouGov, more than 60% of Germans are more or less afraid to attend traditional winter fairs this season. Citizens are afraid of attempts to commit terrorist attacks in crowded places. (Only 35% of the study participants said they did not feel anxious while walking through the holiday bazaars.) The increased concern of the population is due to the increased frequency of incidents over the past year when cars deliberately drove into crowds of people, as well as a number of attacks on passers-by by refugees. Even those who do not have the right to stay in the country. Have you thought about this,…...
