Seems self-defeating if any significant number of people, like me, block every individual from whom I see a promoted tweet. (I assume that such tweets are the only way an individual rather than a corporation would have a non negligible ad s

But they are also better. (Just more expensive and/or bulkier, i.e. their pros come with some associated cons.) Whereas delayed send / batch read only has "advantages" in the mind of the user, who could achieve them for

wow, pretty surprised by this. I often explicitly search for the seriouseats recipe -- they're usually much better than allrecipes, food.com, etc. Also Kenji's book (the Food Lab) is awesome.

I don't see why it would be a controversial bill in Congress to simply exempt scientific publications (broadly construed) from all copyright law. Springer and Elsevier (the latter not even an American company) would be losers, but I do

Even if you think your app depends on push notifications, your customers don't necessarily want them. I would bet that in 98% of the cases you have in mind, I would be perfectly happy to use the functionality without push notifications
