Minor nitpick, I'm not sure if exact match in URL slugs matters from Google's perspective very much. I do read that searchers' eyes can be drawn towards the exact match (which are frequently bolded in the SERPs), possibly leading to a higher clickthrough rate.
It's been a while since I was looking at how google's crawler worked. For items that had multiple ways of navigating there, I remember using the link rel="canonical" to let google know where the page would have been if not for the category information etc in the url.
Specifically, if sales = Sales Dev Rep + Closer, then affiliate sites (leadgen) is like outsourcing the SDR and them getting a commission or referral fee.
It's also to speed things up. Many drivers want to hit their timetable; having to give change to 3 or 4 different people per stop is going to kill that.
I'm writing this as a thought experiment, so please don't respond if what I say angers you. I'm hoping to possibly seed an interesting conversation from which I can learn, not trying to make any specific points.

why is corruption bad? Well, it definitely feels dirty, and it probably usually directly harms someone (who has to pay, doesn't pay, etc.)
But what if we looked at it from a trust based perspective? Single incidents of corruption have an outsized impact on the overall trust a society has in itself, and others.
So, what if the cost isn't created by the act of corruption, but by the perception / dissemination of corrupt events?
From that perspective, the best overall utility to society after the VW scandal was both to make it appear like someone is watching (disincentivize others) but also downplay the size of it (maximally maintain trust).
This isn't particularly thought through, but I was hoping to invoke Cunningham's Law to learn more about something I know very little about.
It's a common denominator, few downsides, speed handled in lower level code/libs. Really good "get shit done" language, best GSD lang I've used. Scientists + programmers, data engineers and PhDs, all are cool w/ the syntax. It's open source, has a shitton of supporting libs.
Outside of speed, I've read very few valid criticisms. What other languages are cross-platform, great lib support, delegate easily to lower level libs for perf, are there?
(FWIW, any MS based language is probably excluded from consideration depending on its cross platform ability. Many data people -- like me! -- won't use a MS based OS)
Python has its share of cruft and idiosyncrasies. I find some of the syntax irritating, e.g. boolean logic, argument handling, hidden / private / magic symbols, and those pesky half-open intervals that routinely lead to off-by-one errors.
They're not good markets, and even if they were, they fall far short of the Segway's original goals as a mass consumer product. There is a reason Segway is often used as a cautionary tale in product circles, and as as "What not to do" case study in academia.
I remember that they were promoting Segway as the way of the future. That it was going to change the world. They literally said that their device was going to change the world like Ford did.[1]
Fun fact: One of the original promotional videos shows cops using it.
Because the 12 hr formula was part of a huge marketing push to reduce doctors' "opiphobia" and get them to prescribe more. Doctors were likely unaware of the roller coaster ride of withdrawal they were sending patients on.
You will grow the most if you choose the more difficult path. Second, it is worth growing a lot while you are young; this process is more painful in your 30s.
I do not agree. Just because something is hard does not mean it is worth doing. There are lots of things one can do that are hard, and most of them probably aren't worth doing.
