> niche brands are not a thing of this century alone Sure, but targeting ads enabled a massive increase in volume of niche brands. In particular, brands whose target customer is fa…

Thank you for the clarification. Obviously I did not know that about Safari & IDFA. If that's the case though, I'm a bit confused as to why attribution got so much worse. I'm seein…

I don't agree with you that ruhdgjns is not engaging in good faith. He's engaging with my comment. Given that I am a D2C business owner and therefore a modern advertiser, that's a …

Apple made accessing a devices IDFA (device fingerprint) a permissioned resource. Needless to say it is not a popular permission to grant. Cross-app activity can't be tracked witho…

FWIW I run a D2C brand and the iOS 14 change hurt badly. We are able to attribute something like half of the sales we used to. The main consequence of this is the FB models can't l…

I wrote another post that is both an homage to Google Earth and an illustration of how these maps differ: If Google Earth Were Designed For Your Wall: https://ramblemaps.com/if-goo…

It’s actually a custom form (not canned) and we had previously had an additional field for area of interest but it lowered the conversion rate of the form so we dropped it. Getting…

Thanks for the link. We used Lambert Conformal Conic for Europe and Robinson for Asia, but I'm not thrilled with the Asia projection. I really want to be able to change the latitud…

Thank you! It's a question we often get, but not a product we're looking to pursue. I think it would be prohibitively expensive to do it right and I'm not confident there's a big e…

Fall of 2014 for the LiDAR. I am not sure about the other DEM though.

Thank you! Unfortunately we won't be doing any choose-your-own maps, we really do spend a bunch of time on each one. I don't think we could maintain nearly the level of quality tha…

We have an India map. The other commenters are right: no borders, just terrain. https://ramblemaps.com/india-map

I assume you're referring to the azimuth we place the sun for the hillshade? If so, it varies, though it is almost always coming from the top, generally from the upper left. Exactl…
