I see, so as long as the code can be looked at, it can be circumvented?

Why don't more publishers try to detect the ad blockers with stuff like this? https://github.com/sitexw/FuckAdBlock And then they could throw up a page that says "Sorry, AdBlock must be disabled to view this

I'd be willing to bet they discovered during polling just how much people love Tesla and their hand was forced.

This sounds awfully similar to being a highly sensitive person. I.E. covering your ears when a siren goes by, being exhausted after being around too many people, being aware of subtleties in your environment. I encourage anyone who identifi

Can I come over to your house and play?

Sure, I think there's a couple ways you could go: Maybe you play off Japanese cartoons, with characters like this: http://drbl.in/bTYf Or maybe you could have loud and over the top illustrations of the candy like this,

I still love this idea Bemmu. One suggestion - I think you should invest in design and copywriting for the homepage. What you're selling is an emotional experience but it isn't being presented that way. To Americans like me, Japan

"Each successive quarter will involve a 3 day weekend to be held in various startup cities including Austin, LA, Portland, NYC, Salt Lake City, Chicago among others." So are distributed teams frowned upon?

Mine too. Here was a case where they repeatedly looked the other way when the evidence didn't serve their narrative. To me it's the first example of link-bait style reporting in print journalism.

Sounds like early days to me. Using Excel makes sense if you're a startup still figuring out what best practices are for fulfillment. Fab was good to me on all fronts.

As someone who sold on Fab in the past, I wish them the best. They always treated their vendors well and their operations team was top notch. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

Zuck is brilliant at many things. But when someone says he's great at product, I raise an eyebrow. Seems to me they A/B tested their way to the top. FB today reminds me of Google 5 years ago. Their 41-shades-of-blue-testing days.

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback!

Yeah sorry about that, it is a little buggy! After installing, just go to google, then click on the icon in your browser bar and it should work.

A fair point. In my excitement of finding an available domain, perhaps I tried to force the name :P

No offense to OP, but this reads like propaganda to me. It feels like someone at the Pentagon realized they weren't winning the war of the minds of hackers, so they encouraged some of their own to blog about their experiences. I hate t

I asked Jonah about this very thing a year ago. His response was lacking IMO: http://cdixon.org/2012/07/24/buzzfeeds-strategy/comment-page...

In their defense there's no good software out there that hooks into a vendor's fulfillment house. FB created a proprietary order system which sent emails to the vendor when an order came in. Then the vendor had to create an packin

I had a product on FB gifts. It sold great on sites like Fab, but did terrible on FB. I think we sold less than 5 units total before getting kicked out. This tweet from Chris Dixon a year ago summed it up best for me: "It's all ab

Curious, is there a link to your site on the printed card? It's a better user experience for the recipient if they don't know how the hot dogs are made.
