I complained to Adobe (through chat) for a similar reason and suggested they give at least one month of service for free. They extended my subscription on the spot.

No age limit. Most courses are run by small private schools that are flexible with how and when you actually study. Education visa can be arranged before coming to Thailand, or for 500 USD you can change your tourist visa to EDU visa while

Life in Thailand can be much cheaper than you describe. I'll give another data point: We are a family of 3, EU citizens, living in Hua Hin (a resort town 200 km from Bangkok). The city is popular with upper class Thais who own a lot of

Education visa is a good option for staying long-term in Thailand. You just need to enrol into a course (usually 60 to 180 hour Thai language or English language course) and that will give you 15 months visa that can be extended for up to 5

Despite EU directive, cookie laws across EU differ quite a lot in terms of how they define acceptable/unacceptable use. I added the following notice to the original text to reflect this: Use this code (GitHub) to implement client-side

Good catch. GA added this after we came up with our solution. We are using custom Javascript code that uses Measurment Protocol to send data to GA. EDIT: Client Id still needs to be generated for Google's Analytics.js. In my experience

The words of the law are actually not supporting the spirit of the law, at least when passing data to Google is concerned. Data protection can not be enforced with messing with cookies. EU should focus its influence on ensuring that compani

It differs from country to country in EU. In Slovenia we have a very passionate data-protection-officer and a strict opt-in law was passed.

We used to have a similar in-house developed audio feedback in one of our apps [1]. The engagement rate was low. We replaced it with the standard email feedback and we got an order of magnitude more feedback. Plus with email, you automatica

The option to offer Free trials in the app store would remove the need for in-app purchases for a lot of non-abusive apps and games. That would definitely be the case for all the apps we publish [1]. Users simply don't want to pay mone

It could also be that her Facebook profile was public and she posted public status updates (default FB privacy setting) about what she plans to do in the US. No PRISM necessary for that, just a FB account. Just try a search on FB for a rand

Nobody sets out to write bad code. It is easier not to suck if you can control / choose the scope of your project. But more often than not, the scope is dictated by a real-world set of complex needs and circumstances that evolve throughout

I find his articles fun to read and thought-provoking. A lot of what he says goes against the conventional wisdom of the startup world or against my own way of doing things. So his ideas provide a good (and entertaining) opportunity to re-e
