   I've been working for myself for almost a decade, so I feel this guy's pain. I have a few thoughts. Marketing has to be treated like a software project: make it scalable. Drip campaigns, blog posts, and books all help with this. I

   Notice how "smell" was in quotes? You could apply this algorithm to my grandmother's car, because it's your word against the cop's. Being squeaky clean won't save you.

   What if you use MailGun or Sendgrid to receive forwarded email, then use your scripts to parse the invoices customers forward you, and offer the data back in various formats like Excel, Quickbooks, and JSON? I would pay $30/month for t

   iOS push notifications are about one idea: power management. By forcing all servers to communicate to their apps through one channel, the actual iOS hardware only needs to maintain one connection: the connection to Apple's servers. The

    Yes, I certainly understand. Most people wouldn't be concerned—and would be far more likely to use the technology if they could enable a feature like "You have $n new messages." I propose it as an option, not a default.

    1) That's probably a perfectly reasonable option for my grandma. * 2) It provides Apple a fallback when some idiot loses 6 figures worth of IP. “We understand sir, you see, if you had chosen to backup your recovery key with us we would

    I never quite understood this. Certainly you don't want to send an unencrypted notification message (“Matt says: here are the meeting times”) to Apple's notification servers. But do you really have to be that verbose? I'm not

    Ah—my misunderstanding/miscommunication. In Alaska, for example, it wouldn't be against the law to normally carry a firearm, and thus it would be entirely believable that someone left a firearm in their backpack. In California, it

    Sure. But it's just as fallacious to assume an author is contradictory because “Christianity” was redefined in another country after he already died. Words can have different meanings depending on context, that's normal, but just

    I would propose that is because Americans (both Christian and non-Christian) have confused Conservatism with Christianity. (I don't really blame the non-Christians for their confusion. Conservatives conflate the two often enough that e

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sle
