This may be an unpopular opinion, but is Yelp really being slimy by pushing users to download their app? Seems to me it's more that they are being too cheap/lazy to properly maintain both a mobile app and a mobile site. Certainly

They are technically working if people you know talk to you about something they were exposed to via ads.

I think GP comment actually meant that AWS has their own products that compete with similar products like Drop/Box and Office and they include revenue from those products as part of their AWS revenue.

What are your objections/concerns against using AWS? I have used it both for work and in personal projects and haven't ran into any issues/headaches.

Totally agree with this. I've heard Amazon does similar things, like multiple teams competing with each other to accomplish similar goals. Can be very healthy for the company if managed correctly.

If the company has hired enough employees recently, then the math would check out.

Well that clears that confusion up :)

your line of reasoning makes it sound like it would be simple for everyone in the world to stop using Facebook or some similar social media platform. I see nothing wrong with trying to improve something that is already well ingrained into h

Wow that sounds like a nightmare. My standups have almost always been limited to just one team, usually 5-8 people.

This article is great. I am honestly surprised that more articles on this topic were not written 2-4 years ago (maybe there were some but I missed them). JavaScript-heavy single page web apps have been around for a while now and JavaScript

While I agree that it's not "in good taste" to recommend your own book like this. I feel your reaction is a bit harsh and did not consider that he actually gave disclosure upon recommending the book.

I am partway through reading The Personal MBA, and the book of quotes you mentions sound very, very different. Sure, The Personal MBA is not a deep dive into any subject (it's not meant to be) but it's got a lot more meat than jus

I feel like the main difference is not that the Best Buy stores have changed that much, it's more the dissemination of information has shifted so that the internet is where people are now discovering new products and toys. But I agree,

I agree that it is well within their rights to do that. But I also feel that this is a reason why large software products are not inherently a great fit for the Kickstarter model. I think Steam's "early-access" model is a muc

I know a lot people that spend money of things that I would personally not "waste" money on. But if they feel their money is well spent on those things, who am I to judge? > There are better games for much less money. That&#x27

To be fair, it is very easy to remove those adds.

But isn't that what YouTube was essentially trying to do here?

"Downvotes?" is simply unnecessary, and that's the spirit of the guideline. I see nothing wrong with you adding: "Legitimate question guys. Can someone explain how that works?"

Well in your case it seems likely that they just went with another photo rather than pay $250.

I don't think the main issue is with farming in general, but with factory farming. Raising farm animals in a humane way is a huge improvement.

I would recommend checking out the channel "Primitive Technology". It is a good example of quality YouTube content.

Being able to answer that question may not be easy (as maybe everything goes well UNTIL some critical issue arises - and at that point it could be too late). That being said, I have some colleagues that are good friends outside of work, but

I always assumed having video auto-play allows for ads to run in between videos playing. Maybe some sites see that and (woefully) assume it is a good way to increase audience engagement. Either way, I totally agree it is a horrible experien

This is a great point. Without heavy fines and penalties, it seems many companies are happy to be lax on security just quietly become another "victim" company. They just need their breach to smaller than Yahoo's (which is eas

A bit off topic, but I would be curious to hear about the process in which your doctor(s) diagnosed your cancer. Mostly because I would not think to attribute fatigue as a common symptom of cancer.

2.25% does not seem unreasonable to me. But I get the impression that it is an attempt to get a foot in the door to possibly pave the way for state income tax. Being from the Seattle area, that concerns me.
