I worked with a hepatologist once who donated his services to low-income patients with hep c. Encouraged by his selfless act, I called him to learn more about how our services could help him (he was asking for a discount). Well, it turns ou

Is it? I would guess that people already split their traffic between a home workstation connected through a local ISP, a mobile phone connected through a national carrier ISP, and a work computer that is connected with a (third) enterprise

I don’t understand what you mean by a “CF that creates exactly one conversion”. Anyways, your response isn’t relevant in that I’m not suggesting an email address should (not) be verified. Rather, we’re discussing whether verifying identity

I see a lot of claims that email addresses should be verified prior to a transactional email being delivered - that that’s the “norm” or stupidly obvious way. But when there is a real consequence on a conversion funnel for requiring email a

Have you considered making your caps lock key an escape key? That’s been my game plan when I’m obligated to upgrade. Honestly, though I’ve held off for two years because I don’t know that I’ll be able to live with this.

Excellent. I never had a term for this. I used to just call it “riding the wave”. This gives the notion a bit more legitimacy, but also is a starting point to research more on the topic.

Why do you think the small guys comply? The calculation that I’ve heard made is that by being a tiny fish you won’t be pursued. Even better question, why do you think the big companies comply? I’ve seen some egregious compliance snafus at t

What no one seems to be talking about is that a person was walking their bike across a divided 4 lane road that in many places would be called a highway. This is not a pedestrian friendly crosswalk, and it’s not high noon. You can tell by t

It’s been a while since I took a driving test, but I recall the test to be more than staying within the speed limit. There was also staying in between the lines, following road signs, and integrating with traffic. Do you think you might hav

Wait until I debut my password management service that converts a yoddle into an ascii string. That’ll certainly be more than 1000 chars. Our mutual customers will be disappointed when they can’t login to your sites.

I couldn’t put my finger on it at first, but I then realized why your comment doesn’t make any sense - you’re effectively arguing “if I could master-plan society and the economy for a while, this is how I’d decree it to be.” Maybe some peop

There is a lot of good content I come across on FT. I never post it because I figure it won’t be able to amass enough traction as there’s a paywall. I’ve been happy paying for FT (it’s not cheap!) but I like the idea that more than half of

This is a tactic used to maintain power - delay elections indefinitely. Currently it’s happening in a number of African countries. Undermining the credibility could therefore accomplish “everything” (the intended purpose).
