I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to sacrifice a lot of my freedom to prevent unhealthy or old people to die. You could tell me that I'm wrong, but as far as I know, I'm the only one able to know how I want to live my life

The head of the strategy of Sweden, keep repeating that he is not sure masks are working, how you can be so sure that he is wrong, and decides that's others who are not listening ? Of course it is clear that if someone has covid and we

I have nothing against you, but this is always super funny when you get some random people suggesting how to improve the conversation rate of an app, which probably have several people working full time on the issue. Yes there are always wa

Reddit as a social network has two goals: - Make more money than last quarter - Having more user engaged than last quarter Having user engaged is much easier when you have the app installed, as they can send you push notification. As a resu

The issue with 1-1 communication is not the retention part but the exclusive and not complete part. If you have no retention but allow 1-1, the same person will just keep asking the same question over and over. Which will make everything wo
