My understanding is that pixels will work but sender will not know device type, IP, etc. Am I correct? If I’m correct then how this is going to hurt newsletter publishers?

I got scammed too. I got an app for $14/week for some LG / Samsung screen sharing. We were in hotel and I wanted to stream something to TV in the hotel room so I quickly downloaded it. Wine did not help :( The app was charging me

In the perfect world all setups should have protections against ransomware (CDP, backup, etc.). But in the real world they don’t. It is really really hard to convince companies to purchase backup solution. Sadly, IT professionals like to ta

Sure. Amazon should equally value customers who buy $2 gadgets per year as ones who buys $2000 per year. But somehow business owners (restaurants, SaaS, retail, etc.) learn that complains and refunds from cheap customers are much more commo

Don’t forget there is also this: https://www.theretailequation.com/ Basically, these models can pretty much predict whether you are pathological or good one. I know that models also include things like if you are a pet owne

This is 100% correct. Even our small business have rules like this: good customers will get refunds, discounts, etc. Bad ones (pathological ones) - we just try to get rid of them ASAP and no refunds. Because we do not want them to use our s

And this is one reason that we do not need to worry about inflation. All the money given to “not so wealthy” is already spent and gone.

To clarify - these are “free” apps with paid upgrade. Basically some free users when presented with “you need to upgrade to use this” will leave a bad review. And that is 100% logical: some users believe that all online software should be f

It was ALWAYS A LIE. Duh... But hard work is not going to hurt. The article is spot on: it is nearly impossible to succeed in your life with crapy education our "inner city" public schools offers.

I know a couple of female founders (including my wife). The biggest problem is that female might run into a creep and that makes very very stressful experience. For me... it is easy. First creeps do not want to meet me (I’m fat, older guy,

Sadly, the current direction in the industry is: “let’s cover our ass”. Which eventually ends up with: less mentoring for women, less promotion, etc. The problem is that our system and society will not reward companies which do right things

Yes - the first email should clearly say that DKIM/SPF is not correct. In other words, if I mistakenly un-spam an email which has incorrect DKIM/SPF, then the gmail interface should still say that headers are not ok.

I do not think this is the correct view. Google is an ad company and they are constantly improving that part of business. They are not standing still in that space. And, sadly for us, Gmail, Android, Chrome and YouTube are critical pieces

The problem here is that Apple makes a lot of money via scam apps (which have outrageous weekly subscriptions like $19/week or similar) So I do not think Apple will do anything here...

The only way that Dropbox can stay independent is that they develop some email solution. Small companies (which I believe are core of Dropbox business) need just 3 things: email, docs and spreadsheets.
