Your idea of learning from this is to say "What was he thinking?", which in your context is is a rhetorical question. You're not trying to understand the thought process, instead you're making a statement to imply that t

Personally I think the coach should be commended for keeping all those boys safe and alive in such conditions. He couldn't have known the cave was going to flood, the signs say don't go in in between July and September - they ente

New permissions shouldn't be taken lightly. One day you'll install an extension that access only on a specific site, and the next day it's requesting access to all your bookmarks, location data, history etc. If you make it in

The Mozilla one is great, they insist on reproducible builds and do a thorough review. Although they can't catch everything, I would pick FF over Chrome all day for this reason alone.

I also have been contacted many times, and offered 1-3k for an extension I have with about 15k users. The extension has a backend API and web service which is required for the extension to work, not once has a buyer asked about acquiring th

If you're not pushing revenue (i.e. you don't need a sales team, ads team), you probably aren't going to need that many engineers to run something like IG. The original feature set was pretty basic, and it only ran on iOS for

It is alarmist for sure, we absolutely should be alarmed at how little control over content end users have. YouTube specific examples are hard to come by, but here's something related to how they control their API from wikipedia: &quot

It most likely follows a non-linear pattern in individuals who are consuming an extreme amount of calories. As the author notes, your calorie intake needs to drop as you lose weight to maintain that progress. If you're consuming 4000 c

They are allowed to exist by YouTube, provided they don't affect Google in a negative way. There are constant discussions in the tech community about how we keep the internet free and usable by all. We (developers) should be leading by

This looks amazing! However if this gets big Google will shut you down and copy any useful features back into YouTube. Instead, why not scrape all the videos (those with the right licenses of course) and put them on PeerTube? https:/&

We stock a lot of florals and dressmaking fabrics, I don't think the data is large enough to derive any insight on market trends though.

Thanks - how are your margins higher even with an employee? I'm guessing your markup is way higher? I'm in the UK - I don't think our market can support higher margins (cost to import fabrics is relatively high), so just curi

It really depends on your business / niche but what works for me is: - Get to know potential customers. This means talking to them, making friends with (some of) them, getting involved in the community around your product etc. - Build

This is different though - the gimlet podcast is about dropshipping, where you don't keep inventory and are literally just creating a sales pipeline for someone else, and absorbing all of the marketing costs (hint: why would a manufact

You can also move up the supply chain into the wholesale or even raw materials business (but you need more capital here) or down into actually manufacturing bespoke/custom items (but that's hard to scale). Ultimately I think you n

I run an almost identical fabric shop online. 20k/month revenue is great but remember this is not a SaaS with unlimited scale and low costs. It's actually a very traditional business model, and margins here are only going to about
