It wasn't the CTR that was the problem; though. It was the product not matching the advertisement. There are 9M LGBT in the US, alone. It's fairly likely that there is a demographic for this kind of ad, so why not have it availabl

Congrats to Mailpile, I guess; who knows; they chose to agree on terms and do business with Paypal; Paypal played by the book. Until next time... when we "all" play arm-chair CO and "DDoS" a business we really have no id

I really doubt pg would be suggesting, as an entrepreneur and investor in entrepreneurship, to be wary about besting supposed idols. Myths, hearsay, and not scientific. The top-most comment is fair to point out bugs, but I don't see th

I really can't see the line between the top-most comment, about bugs, pg's special insight into Jobs, and the conclusions you've drawn. What Jobs has to do with the class of issues bulleted, in the top-most comment, is beyond

I use keyboard coords to navigate and operate most facets of GMail, and all of the buttons have a tooltip, distinctive icons, and have the ability to undo. I'd be willing to eat crow if there were actually a study showing that users of

What a load of crap. Plenty of untasteful and inconsistent crap had come out of Apple, under Jobs; it's painfully easy to find examples [0]. Everyone is going to have their opinions, of course, but the compose, unlabeled / iconogr

What I’ve found, counter-intuitively, is that apps that embrace JavaScript actually end up having less JavaScript. Yeah, I know, it’s some Zen koan shit. But the numbers speak for themselves. The author does very little to support his cla

You're certainly right. By "much" and especially in cases involving security, I don't think we can be happy with or report on the system's security with just a "majority" being all that's need to feel

Stripe, I'm curious how 80% of your downtimes are bound to 60s intervals, and the two that aren't were only 1-2s above that interval. I would hazard a guess that you check these services on a one-minute interval or only report hom

The ultimatum is for Google to restore undocumented functionality or publicly state they don't support openness. And we're all fools to think Google will go to the ends of the earth to support everything imaginable! Replace Google

Potentially, they do not have multi-AZ ELBs and only thought to have their EC2 or similar instances in multi-AZ. Or they don't have proper tuning of their DNS to stop routing to failing ELBs. Or... Amazon is unaware or not making us aw

I can't say for sure, but they could be relying on an EBS-backed service (ELB, RDS, etc) or suffered from an AWS issue that suffers even in multi-AZ. A lot of AWS outages could have only been mitigated with multi-region.

How many times do we have to hear about EBS issues and companies like Reddit reporting EBS being a disaster before we stop seeing outages from it? Either, Amazon is looking into it, publicly, or people have wised up to the facts and stop us

What does that have to do with a browser and poor analogies? Neither protect important documents on disk, a shell open with root, an ssh open to your production, etc. I'm not condoning Chrome's actions, but I'd also demand no

The reality is, you mistake a browser with a house, when the OS is the house. Let's rail on every OS distribution that defaults to unencrypted drives! And every digital device that has not bio-metric and multi-factor authentication! Gr

You're confusing a browser password-keeper with a house lock, when the house is actually synonymous to the machine. Lock the machine. Should every OS come with only encrypted filesystems that you have to enter a password on every read?

Or, assuming you already run, at least, one secondary write or read-only server, use Percona XtraDB Cluster / Galera. There are caveats for pt-online-schema-change that make it not usable in all cases, and they are not necessarily ed

But having a numeric score of 59 versus 9 is relevant, despite them both being F. Likewise, 89 versus 90. NHTSA can do whatever they want; I can say it is just a silly metric that is about as good as gaming reviews, as another comment point

NHTSA doesn't PUBLISH ratings above 5 stars. Regardless, the 5.4 IS relevant.
