“A 30% revenue share can easily be the difference between a company that can afford to scale, hire new employees, and reinvest in its product, and one that is perpetually strugglin…

I mentioned it above, but FusionAuth is supposedly good. They offer a paid cloud and free self-hosted version, so you get the benefits of rolling your own without as many risks. (N…

Have heard good things about FusionAuth. (Not a user, but friends speak highly of it).

Interesting. Yeah, in Los Angeles, Denver, and Atlanta, it’s always worked to my advantage as the buyer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the U.S., at least, I've never known a seller's agent to do that (having done a good number of real estate transactions). In fact, in my experience I find it to be the exact opp…

Agreed. I was a professional actor 20 years ago when digital and streaming were first coming into play, and the seeds sown in the agreements from that time were painfully lacking f…

This. Consider the market. Samsung also doesn't add its newly-engineered, top-of-the-line solutions to its lower-end new models. Almost all the people on this forum are in the targ…

It's the internet. Everyone is an expert! (/s, if it wasn't blatantly obvious.)

Hello - Kipp from TextExpander here. Great question that we get a lot (and rightfully so - security is of paramount importance to both our customers and us). We wrote up a brief FA…

With the possible exception of the lyrics "rain on your wedding day," which in some ways seems like a bad thing, but is supposedly good luck. Aside from that, the entire song is fi…

> I'd put my money that they included 'online scoreboard' as the first phrase in the ` tag per Google's recommendations for SEO which put them ahead.[0] Also, to this one point of …

As a writer, I hate apps like this. As a web writer, I love them. I've been using this app for at least the past 7 years. I wouldn't use it for any other type of writing. However, …

Agreed. My family has actually looked at moving away from Denver, with all the influx of people. The cost of living is no longer as attractive, and the politics that are coming in …

As someone else mentioned, one reason is it's cheaper...for now. The "for now" is key. Having lived in Denver for more than 10 years, our housing and costs of living are growing in…

Me, looking over the printed product images... ...is that a double-decker couch I see?

I'm impressed as well - but I do think many of us here are overestimating the size of the audience that sort of technical messaging would apply to. It being open is a big deciding …

As someone who's marketed consumer apps to iOS users (with in-app purchases) - you speak the truth. One freemium iOS app I worked on did nearly 5X the revenue compared to its Andro…

See also: The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek. Great read (based on a previous work, Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse) on the need to play on a different playing field than th…

History repeats itself. This is straight out of Microsoft's playbook from back in the day.

> I have no idea why I'm spending my time writing this, but I do appreciate the post as I vividly remember being enthralled with the prospect of money popping out of a coke can as …

This book is great. Although anytime I see it, my mind jumps to the meme about "If the people who wrote computer programming books wrote math textbooks." https://i.pinimg.com/origi…

Yep to the catnip. As others have mentioned, though, the big benefit of the first million-dollar homepage was the SEO value - along with the fact that for a few hundred bucks, you …

Yeah - I moved to Fraser (next town over) a year-ish after Marv’s wild ride. Always interesting to see this come up. IIRC, the story was much more complex than this article paints …

As a Russian hacker I think this is a REALLY great idea because of the security implications surrounding it.

This. The thing about "get out the vote" campaigns is, they're intended to draw out the least-involved, least-informed members of the electorate. Which in my book is a bad thing. V…
