Can you help me understand how a billing model gets saturated exactly? I never got this about SaaS. People talk like it is a vertical. How is saying "I want to start a SaaS" different from saying "I want to start a one time p

I went from a non-coffee drinker to an espresso "snob" over 6yrs from having daily access to an amazing barista. She eventually taught me (on some very nice cafe-grade hardware) everything soup to nuts from how to dial in a grin

Does this in any fashion help pave the way to a more modern tax filing system whereby the government tells you what you owe without today's current labyrinthine filing process like other countries have had?

Serious questions: how is it manipulating people? To what end? Is there any proof of this? I don't doubt the government could get them to do what they want. But what would it manifest as?

Bingo. They need this for user-level measurement and targeting. Wouldn't be surprised if this also supports part of their audience extension work with twitter audience platform as well.

How advanced are the analytics these provide? Depending on what signals they collect,I could see this being used to map with demographic data, etc.

This. Wonder what this person's teammates might have to say about them? "They just started and think they have all the answers without even considering there might be complex and higher-level reasons why a decision was made."

What about EQ aka emotional intelligence? Your comment betrays a very biased view. Is it at all possible these people are very good at areas you yourself may be considered "low IQ?" And how are they to work with otherwise? I'

What is the bank's incentive to offer this? Answer that and you'll have the answer to your question.

Part of the challenge is there is no great way to easily get my data out of banks and accessible in one place. Business model aside, they do solve a real problem in a space where there are no real incentives for banks to provide their own s

Showering before dinner has helped me insert a "transition moment" where I can get final work thoughts out of my head. Also, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a fantastic form of meditation for me these days. Nothing like a sunse

I love it as well. It's become part of my morning coffee ritual where I listen to the birds and learn what's out there. What I've noticed is, rather than focus on endless scrolling through Reddit etc., I'm actually very

How is the flight model in comparison? Squadrons is a blast in VR but I wasn't the biggest fan of the feel of the flight model. Especially coming from combat in Elite:Dangerous with much nicer cockpits, etc.

In the statewide stock market challenge I did in HS, my team was second in state because I'm a gamer and convinced them to go all in on Nvidia right as they blew up. We would have gotten first except the person on who was supposed to s

Just wanted to say while your bottles are awesome, your under-house storage and retrieval system is the stuff of my childhood dreams and my claustrophobic adult nightmares. How did you go about designing it? Was it fairly organic? Or did yo

They get a lot more data more reliably from the app and have a lot more control of the ad surfaces and how they are served. This is more or less "social network publisher side monetization" SOP.

The video player bit seems fairly straightforward if you imagine a monetization strategy involving video ads (which tend to have higher CPMs). Likewise, the "1 comment displayed" thing seems like a "please consume the media a

For me it's a question if whether it is ever linked or able to be linked to specific app usage or details of that usage (thing Edge browsing behavior). With industry privacy changes, having a persistent login at the OS level let's
