How long are you cranky after you get broken out of it and how severe is the crankiness? I've found if I get distracted while in the zone I'm frustrated by being interrupted, and any sort of attempt to converse is challenging beca

Podcast tracking is improving, but not super useful yet in many cases. It works best for advertisers with high LTV products that can be tracked via coupon codes or memorable vanity URLs. A lot of advertisers actually shy away from them beca

I've heard him in voice tracks on some chillout music and it always makes me want to listen to more of him. Is there a good place to find his talks to download?

For anyone marketing something, installing browser add-ons to cleanly parse tracking params, event calls and adtech/martech used on sites can yield some valuable competitive business insights. You'd be surprised at how many busine

Different types of stories work with different people though. Some perhaps joined for the mission. They want to continue believing in it. Some perhaps joined for business success, so they need to hear a different story, or the same story to

Small suggestion, but I wish the gifs spent more time on each image. When I'm trying to make out small details in screenshots it takes longer than the brief amount of time allowed. Better yet, click to zoom screenshots.

Serious question--what is the best way to report or educate other thread participants about these sorts of things? I cited a credible source as to the usage of that topic as part of active measures. Are we just supposed to let those topics

What a myopic, hateful comment. You are no more entitled to keeping it as whatever idealistic version you have in your head as they are making it into theirs. Also, I'll note that trying to sow discord between groups of people in the U

Are there tools good for aggregating and querying annotations across services for less technical users? Is there a market for better usage of annotations? I've been avid about annotating key tools I use that offer that functionality, a

I couldn't help but notice some of the internal comms wires that were seemingly crossed between Firefly's CRO and their Product team (and the police apparently). >"When you look at that density in major cities, we do have

For those who have used Plaid for personal projects, can someone confirm if you can pull basic monthly stats by account for all account types, including cash, debt (CC/mortgage), and assets (investment accounts, etc.), and then net wor

In general I agree with everything you're stating wrt accuracy of the statement. In context of motivation though, people are all different. And in this case I think there's a type of person who is internally motivated by seeing th

I recently called Chase and got some message like "your voice may be recorded for verification purposes" or something to that extent. Creeped me out and I don't recall ever opting into that specifically, so I'm guessing

My point is they don't (or can't with the current setup) play games by restricting how many people see your post unless you pay up ala some other well-known sites.

Unfortunately Spotify is near useless to me now as it is inundated with kids songs polluting my lists, and the occasional listen to a song outside of the norm for me somehow also does the same thing. They REALLY need a way to easily say &qu

What's fascinating to me is how Reddit is arguably at the tail end of "the pack" of major publishers. They struggle to monetize, yet possess one of the few remaining bastions of decent quality reviews depending on what you&#x

Sure, but presumably you hone your senses as to which subs are trustworthy and which are not. For many classes of queries, there are some well-established subs already. Then it is a simple matter of parsing the comments, and the signal-to-n

My understanding from Plaid's somewhat confusing docs is that the Free tier gives transaction and balance data from cash accounts, but I need it from all of my asset accounts, which you seem to need to be on the $500/mo plan for.
