its a good idea, making users supportive of advertising by giving some of it to charity. Now people with adblockers might more inclined to add reddit to whitelist.

it remains to be seen how the autonomy works out. whatsapp collects very little data about the user. Phone number, username. No chat history and even name is optional this contrasts with FB's approach of getting all the data. I think t

gmail looks like to be on this path already except instead of allowing you to queue messages its trying algos to manage it for you. (Priority inbox / email tabs)

exact presentation definitely looks like the major reason for using pdf. I think I need to find an app that does pdf parsing similar to Pocket/ Instapaper and makes the pdf adaptable to smaller screens.

by hu_me 13y ago

had missed that thanks for sharing. I have been using custom dimension for uId in our client projects its worked out well, though a dedicated api method is always welcome.

userId bit has been there from the start in Universal Analytics. Its called custom dimensions and can be used to send any property about the user into the GA and then link it to a User or a specific Visit. https://developers.goog

What's up with adding social media here. That's like saying boomers know how to communicate around water coolers.

It also mentions that the spying doesn't involve reading emails of US residents? So that means people outside US jurisdiction are being targeted?

well charging higher than 25$/hr cuts both ways I originally started from elance a few years back and gave a low-ish rate but I was being ignored or being asked for discounts on near bottom rates, I realized if you want to be valued you nee

i think the pitch here could be made more enticing. With SaaS you are not only paying for the current product but also for the implied updates and improvements that will follow. So a comparable model would be how much would a box software c

Firing on timeout is not the ideal way as the general pattern tells us people open multiple tabs which they may or may not read. A better way is to trigger events based on scroll, that way you can better tell if there's been actual engageme

every new technology goes through the hype cycle[1]. generally with new services we are at the peak just before the product launches and that's where we appear to be before I/O. But the op comes across as very harsh against a product that h
