Not specific to the article but about the growth team structure at Pinterest. Is growth an engineering/product led org? Does it have a marketing leader as well? I've come across a couple instances where growth responsibilities see

Interesting. Can you cite any examples if it isn't uncommon?

Do people who have been let go in this manner get looked down upon by future prospective interviewers? Or is it understood this happens regularly?

As someone who has setup and managed countless GA accounts for his career, it at least gave me a good chuckle. As others have noted, Simo is the go-to resource for anything technical and nuanced with GA and GTM. When I'm troubleshootin

Do you have a link to that breakdown? I'd love to dig in further. I suspect that there's a lot of Coins in circulation from Reddit seeding the system. The marginal cost to them is roughly $0. Without being able to confirm if users

That's pretty old data. And I realize I said Gold when what I meant was Reddit Coins, ie. the currency that lets people gild posts with various things like flames, and other colors. I'm deeply interesting in learning what % of rev

Holy shit indeed. Any new thoughts as a result of this?

Your prediction isn't a prediction. It's fact. Just watch the videos posted from the previous Oculus Connect [1]. They demo some early prototypes to show their vision. Several times I needed to pick my jaw off the floor from what

First, big brands don't want controversy displayed next to their ads. This is likely behind some moves Reddit has made in the past to clean things up. Second, I'm curious what % of revenue comes from user-purchased post and commen

Reducing accuracy of open rate data is a double-edged sword. I understand the privacy concerns. But it is exceptionally useful to product and people and writers for intoning UX to know if important emails are getting read (or at least opene

There are a lot of reasons the Bay remains a desirable place to live outside career-related reasons. Weather, culture, friends/family for some, etc.

I'm guessing the freebies are to avoid lowering the actual rent due to Prop 13?

Without trying to push the analogy too far, I think the point holds without ascribing superiority to any particular job (or cutting tool). Case in point, I have a nice Japanese knife set. My chef's knife (your scalpel) sucks at cutting

Very interesting, thanks for explaining.

But if you have to accept it to get the job, does that not render your point moot? Or is your point you could accept it then ignore it because of this good faith attempt?

And that's just them getting started. I watched the entire video of last Oculus Connect and it was jaw dropping what they are going for and how much progress they've made. Like, Rainbow's End made real.

Really insightful--thanks for the thoughtful response. Are there certain new product avenues they could explore that larger traditional insurers may not be well-positioned to because it just isn't in their organizational DNA? Or is the

Interesting analysis, thanks for sharing. I don't have an insurance background, but I do come from the SaaS marketing world. From that perspective, your modeling makes sense, but it leaves me questioning the core assumption behind your

How do you integrate it into your workflow? Is your program scattered across blocks in a notebook or is it easy to pull everything together once it works the way you want? Also, thoughts on jupyter vs co ok colaboratory?

I'm curious what will come about with different sizes. I'll bet a lot of people think of this in the context of quadcopters up to predator drones. I'm in the middle of The Diamond Age and all I can think of is the drones so s

Others have beaten the "marketer on commission" horse to death. I fully agree with their comments, but I want to address something else. >"Spending money on ads is basically burning money and does not work for me. (tried G

Does this assume policy makers and those voting on said policy are "good actors" acting in the interest of the many? I'm not sure that is the situation we are dealing with at the moment.
