It makes it so no data generated by a user ever reaches Google Analytics's server, so: yes, they will be zeroes, except if you use other tools to account for them.

The article states "The excess educational investment [...] that children born into a typical one percenter household receive is equivalent, economically, to a traditional inheritance of between 5 and 10 million dollars per child"

Those who want to sell will just "exchange their stock for cash". Some might want to do so, others might not. The bought back shares are destroyed so the overall stock price rises: nothing is gained, nothing is lost (in value), it

I understand your take on the problem, but one of the features of those services is that they are precisely online: I can get my passwords on my phone, tablet, desktop, laptop, abroad or at work. If my password manager is offline, it's

Actually some of the biggest spenders are content with your brain just seeing the ad. It builds awareness (as in: you know that they exist, that they are still in business, that they are relevant). It's all they need to "help you&

and the reason is: if a user bounces off a SEO result, the ranking is degraded, and nobody wants that, so Google users can skip the paywalls. I don't think that's a good reason, or even a good way to protect content.

YOU'd be happy to pay, but maybe not the rest of the UK companies (or not that much, or not today, etc.). SO the growth of a UK-based Zenefits-clone will be much, much slower, and maybe never reach profitability. So I wouldn't cou

Keep in mind that the merchant fee is .5% with Strip/Bitcoin. With regular credit card payment processing, the fee is something like 2.25%. The difference could be shared equally between the merchant and their customers. Life would be

the first part is to get the content (including boring parts) right every time, and alas I think speech-to-text commercial software is still not there yet for speech where the person isn't explicitly talking to be listened to by a comp

damn, I'm not in the US but that sounds very cool. Is it US only? I'm sure that's why 97% of our generation dropped voice mail. It's just not as convenient as text.

voice mail is asynchronous for the person sending it, but it's somewhat synchronous when you're on the receiving end: you cannot skip through the boring parts right to the interesting content, you have to linearly listen to the en

Postkmarkapp (postmarkapp.com) is also providing such a thing. Just like Mandrill, they don't let you forward it to any inbox; however, I was already using them to process the e-mails and send a JSON payload to a webhook of mine, so it

I've dug a bit in my Mandrill account and they seem to have such a feature (although it's advertised exactly nowhere). I'll give it a try too. Update: Mandrill receives e-mail, but then only lets you POST a payload to a webho

sounds like what I'm after. Have you had the chance to benchmark it with anything over the years? I'm just curious about the competition at this point

So I assume it would be their $40/year plan as I need to use a custom domain. I've never heard of them before; did you use them? Happy/any feedback? Edit: apparently they also have "family" and business plans, which

I think you both are right and therefore you both have answers to your own question. The freelancer model is supposedly ideal: the company pays for a project, the engineer works on it for a definite time, and then both move on. No internal

That's the amazing thing about Uber: it does increase demand. By making it easier and simpler to ask for a cab, and actually providing an enjoyable experience in a market where expectations are very low, they managed to attract people

That's maybe the most interesting finding. Receive too much e-mail? Business as usual. Not so many? The world is coming to an end. If this is not a sign of withdrawal, I don't know what is :D

I think it's a very important distinction to make, especially early on, to make sure that founders focus on power users and completely ignore casuals. It's tempting to try to get interest from marginal users, because there is many

Well no matter how you look at it, the expected value is .98 of whatever you paid. So in the long run you're certainly going to lose 2% of what you invested.

I think her point is that the differences are irrelevant in comparison of the (common) challenges leadership positions generate, so it's not helpful to overemphasize them.

Hi Brad ! Congratulations on the acquisition. We're trying to replicate what you did with the API, but with an interface that non-developers can use on their own. What do you think ?

We're pushing it one step further: you can do the same with events, AJAX interactions, recency of visit, or whatever makes sense for your business. Without modifying the code further, obviously!

Hey Lance! You're right in that we aren't targeting newcomers to the retargeting space. We want to prove that event-driven retargeting performs better (both for websites and visitors), and we only can do it with customers already

If you're referring to Google Remarketing, it gives you the same capabilities, except it's a terrible pain to set up analytics, track events, make them into a list, move the list to AdWords, and optimize from there. We spent a lot
