Yeah small and quickly diminishing over time, outside of very close friends and direct descendants. For example how many fought in WW2? How many were in high level roles and instrumental to the conflict? How many would be thinking they were

As far as YC goes, it seems that they are investing in companies they think might be able to dominate a niche in the hope that a few of them use that as a springboard to a much larger market.

It really depends on the number of participants. A thousand comment thread could take an hour to properly read through every viewpoint. If we are only willing to spend a few minutes on that thread it needs some kind of filter. If there are

Reddit ads at this point seem to be worse than Twitter. Given what they know about people they should be able to target very well, I assume that the inventory just isn’t there.

Do the majority really want autoplay? Facebook forced it on people and made it hard to find the disable option.

Yeah, can get to a situation where an ad platform would be making more out of a market segment than the retailers in that segment. If I have a $20 margin, I am better off giving Google $15 and getting an incremental $5 profit than not adver

I think it does when the 7/8 size is already on the edge of what is reasonable to use with one hand.

I think mostly for small groups. For groups of friends Skype was usable, for guilds it was terrible. There was a period when I went back to a WoW expansion that everyone was trying to go everyone onto Skype for pickup groups which was a hor

They don’t want to fight the election on any of the major details of national security. The liberals would be happy to fight the election on this front if Labor stopped supporting every bill that come up.

Last year it was $20000, a month or so ago $6000. I can't see any major changes in the underlying utility of the coin throughout that period.

The value would need to become a lot more stable. I doubt people are getting a better result with crypto than a standard forex broker right now. Only use case I can see would be when your cross border transfer is going to be on the wrong si

One of the worst things about this bill is that the opposition knows it is full of problems and could have blocked it and forced a range of amendedments. The Labor party here though is afraid of creating any point of difference on anything

Possible it will go nowhere. How can Apple for example provide a backdoor for imessage which isn't a systemic weakness?

Careful criminals will surely be able to find a set of software that isn't affected. Australia isn't the US, only a small portion of software companies would have a large local presence here.

Yeah the only reason Amazon provides the phone number is because a lot of carriers require a number to be on the label. There are some rules around it listed here: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external&

Just a billing/customer name but no address. Email communication goes via Amazon so they can cut you off from the customer and also so they can remove email addresses and link, but they can't do much if a seller wants to call up o

I gave up and used their app after being hit with that 100s of times. Whether it is a viable long term strategy or not they probably are driving ad revenue from it, bit of a sad state of affairs if you have to be hostile to your users to bu

Sometimes the local postal service tracking will give additional information that the source tracking doesn’t give. In the case above I would expect they they just didn’t scan it when delivering. We get cases with USPS, usually with appartm

It depends a bit on how many of those videos exist and what kind of view counts they get. In this case the number are so small that they almost certainly do. I you were targeting say 100,000 subscribers tangentially related channels might b

Yeah, time viewed is really only a vanity metric that only someone building a campaign with no direct result at all would look at. The kind of big business campaign just blowing money on branding is probably getting an even worse return on

Spacex telemetry is live. People use it to calculate things like flight path and performance of each launch.

Yeah, in some of the branded Cosmetics you will be Amazon plus 4 or 5 other sellers all at the MAP. Brands where they have banned the grey market so it is all authorized sellers having the follow the MAP to keep their deal.

They will be making more now than what the bonus would have made them previously though.

Yeah turns out we do have a cap: The weighted-average credit benchmark of 0.50 per cent will be maintained. The weighted-average interchange fee benchmark for debit cards will be reduced to 8 cents per transaction, which will apply joint

It is probably fair to say that their promises are massive, making their under delivery still impressive.

I wonder how this come about. Interchange in Australia is way lower, you can get rates around 1% without too much effort and interchange plus rates even lower on average. You would think a larger market like the US would be lower not higher

An app would be a lot nicer to get a graph of performance offer time for that hypothetical decision. Excel would be okay if you just wanted to know today’s position of various decisions.

I think a bunch of smart people have spent a bunch of time on it and what we have currently simply makes the most money. Of course that may change once the majority block ads.
