An alternative explanation I've read for that chart is that fewer people need to search for it - the app is already installed.

And, of course, Chengdu is actually 14,300 square KILOMETERS, not meters. (Its 11 million residents aren't quite that cramped).

It took time for people to start buying things on their phones, too.

That sounds like common sense, but do you happen to know if it is actually true?

SVGs can contain JavaScript, so this proposal opens up quite a number of possibilities :)

I definitely wouldn't recommend it either. Sorry not to be clear. In my experience, it's almost impossible to dissuade people from generating strings if the API affords it. We can't even stop people from generating SQL by con

The joke is tired, but there may be a germ of an idea there. Maybe various SLA metrics could be added in a standardized way.

> It's important to divorce the concepts of operational metrics and product analytics. Confusing how we do things with how we decide which things to do is a fatal mistake. It sounds like you agree with this quote from the article?
