If Etsy wants to moderate this, they can enforce GTIN verification. Google Shopping does this so they know how to rank bids for the same items by multiple department stores. Google Shopping requires that you put in some GTIN value (they ver

How are you interviewing? Have you tapped into your network? Do you have past co-worker friends who have left and found jobs elsewhere? Most companies value referrals much higher than unknown applicants. If you have a friend who can vouch f

"we make a lot of promotional products (event swag, trophies, memorabilia, etc.)" Is there a gallery of products you've made? Also, do you do your own drop-shipping? Looks cool!

I was a Physics undergrad+ Physics / Materials Science PhD and I ended up just quitting 4 years into my PhD. You can do it too. You don't owe your advisor anything and you've definitely put in your indentured servitude. I end

Thank you for writing this. When people talk about these issues it becomes easier and more acceptable to society and it helps lessen anxiety stigmas. As someone who suffers from anxiety and who regularly seeks therapy, I can say that the ri

I'm no civil engineer but I talked to one about this story and the concerns seem to be overblown. First, the foundation as I am aware is created by drilling to the point of refusal. Obviously bedrock is ideal, but in a place like SF wh

This a really dumb question, but since I've never used Glacier what does the workflow for a Glacier application look like? I'm used to the world of immediate access needs, and fast API responses, so I can't imagine sending o

This last election was brutal for my phone. Every day for two weeks I got atleast 1 text and sometimes 5 reminding me to vote for some particular candidate or issue. I don't know how my number got on these lists, but I replied STOP to

One thing I enjoyed about consulting is the opportunity to work with so many companies that gave me a glimpse into their work culture. There have been companies where the experience I had interviewing completely shielded the shitshow under

Yea, historically FB is for demand generation and Google for capturing intent. There wasn't really a good solution for iOS. Adwords weren't terribly effective on iOS but Android may be a different story. So I'm sure FB isn&#

What we call this in the industry is "attribution" and there is a whole sub-industry to deal with this bc it is a complex problem. In short, gaming right now uses last-click attribution so the last advertiser gets credit. FB does

From their ad copy they say 65% of all downloads come from app store search. If this is true, this is bad news for FB. A huge chunk of FB revenue comes from mobile app install ads bc that was the only method large app developers had to sen

I've seen Booster Fuels trucks around at a company I used to work at. To me this makes the most sense as a perk offered by a company not in a major city, that has huge parking lots of cars. I used to commute to Santa Clara 3x a week f

People tend to say the same thing about marriage. They say "when you know, you know". Not extremely helpful information. However, you can optimize for that scenario by dating as many people as you can. If you go on 3 dates a week

I'm not sure this is how women shop. Women don't buy dresses with the intention of re-selling it. They have more of an emotional connection to the style and how it makes them feel and they want their friends to look good in it too

There are similar APIs available for same day delivery from Postmates and Deliv so not exactly a new concept.

Ah ok. Makes sense. I remember searching for a low interest loan because I knew I would be able to pay it back and thought 13% was ridiculous for such a credit worthy individual (credit score 760). Thanks for taking the time to answer, it i

So I was probably in your target market last year but I'm struggling to understand how this product works. I work in tech but was laid off mid year and simultaneously incurred a bunch of debt. So I carried a balance of around $15k for

At my previous company we used a crappy piece of software (Trackstar) to record our goals and accomplishments twice a year. It asked us a few questions and provided options for long form response and multiple choice. Supposedly this was use

This is true. My sister is a civil engineer on the SMART train - supposed to have been light rail from Fishermans Wharf all the way to Santa Rosa. The Golden Gate Bridge actually has a railway line below it that hasn't been used. But t

One very important "soft skill" aspect to debugging code is time and ego management. There are times when all I want to do is "solve the problem" and if it means losing 4 hours of sleep over it, my obsession will let it

Attribution on mobile is a commodity now. 5 years ago before AndroidID and Apple IDFA, all you could use was IP, OS, Device Type, and random other bits of info the network would send you. So you'd need some machine learning inference

I also have similar experiences running ad budgets ($5M / month at highest). I built tools to do ad optimization on FB using attribution as a backbone and optimizing for ROI. I learned the hard truth with FB advertising when I built m

Cool. Happy to see you're focused on other verticals that would be willing to pay. I see it every day with my friends. Manager sends out PDF of schedule, giant white board in back office, calls to manager on day of shift to reschedule.

When I first met my fiance a few years ago, I had been on my 40ish online date and she her 3rd. I had all these rules about gauging girls' interest, mostly to protect myself from pain of rejection. Wait a day or two, text, not more tha

It's not very scriptable but that's not the use case of Tableau. Generally data analysts do not know how to program. They meet with PMs to understand concerns, interpret concerns into metrics, write some SQL, and display them in d

This is definitely an issue. It's difficult to really sell a tool like this to your managers unless you can prove over time it saves you. With orgs I've been at the decision process was like - order 1 license to test it out
