Yep. Went to find a YT video and came back to find Paul was dead. Couldn't bring myself to start again.

"A" UK campaign. Lots of coverage around the time of the Queen's death and unsurprisingly in the news now given the coronation. Little to no media coverage at any other time and ha…

I don't think the article is sarcastic given the nature of their app. Where does one draw the line though? ESG[1] is becoming increasingly important to investors and I already see …

I am just waiting to hear back from a customer on a support ticket request where functionality in my app is not working as expected. They sent me a screenshot of what should be a f…

I'll link up Stripe's docs for SCA[1] as they have been very helpful for me in getting Leavetrack[2] set up for SCA. PSD2 is the Second Payment Services Directive from the EU. A di…

Quite - the criminal justice system is woefully underfunded and COVID has only exacerbated the problem. The means testing leaves many people facing no choice but to plead guilty or…

I've made this point on LinkedIn and I'll make it here - bad software did not send postal workers to jail. Read the judgment: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Ha…

> but in the UK these people would have been unable to get a public defender Absolutely not the case. If one cannot afford a solicitor one will be appointed.

The answer to this question is that senior executives within the Post Office knew that Horizon had faults and deliberately withheld the information when prosecuting the sub-postmas…

> "In the UK and the EU, the GDPR requires organisations to inform recipients of the pixels, and in most cases to obtain consent for them. It’s not enough to just have a privacy po…

This was explained on the feed. It's from a lower-res safety camera mainly used for object avoidance on the ground. High definition images will be available later.

I'm surprised that the guide doesn't address automated decision making about users. In my day job, we are using a scheduling platform for short-notice, short-term work e.g. social …

I've just skimmed a few pages of the site and frankly I'm amazed that they do not have 1) a video of an ex-offender talking about the the opportunity afforded by an employer using …

I take the point but by their own admission, resume acceptance is at 50% when it could be at 80% so on that score they are failing to convince the client of the benefit of that div…

I'm not familiar with the video and will check it out when I'm at home. If I was to say more on 10 BY 10 it's that I don't see the differentiator. Plenty of search firms are staffe…

As I'm in the industry, my thoughts on some of the recruitment-related companies: 10 BY 10 - I don't get it. Their website says they are a contingency search firm with a value prop…

If I'd known that... Didn't occur to me to even ask :)

Of course. Started as a side project, part of learning to code. Had my mom's company as first subscriber and then periodically people would find me and sign up. They were paying £1…

I'm just beginning to push my product (it's been around for 6 years) and have certainly noticed the customer requests increasing. I agree with a lot of the advice here and in parti…

So much this. When I started Leavetrack[1] in 2011, it was so difficult to get setup for recurring payments. I was using Chargify to handle the recurring payments/credit card stora…

Thanks. Not quite enough for full-time and to be honest I've not invested the time or money in acquisition of customers. Looking to change that this year. Have tried Google ads pre…

You might be surprised. It's fairly trivial to find out where I work during the day but we are representative of the recruitment industry and so much effort is put into attracting …

Focus on retention. My app[1] is sticky in that once you're set up it's a bit of hassle to leave and even then you'd only likely do it at one point during the year. This makes long…

Have you done any formal ROI on the move to Chargebee? I moved from Chargify to Stripe about a year ago (to save on cost) and the biggest challenge was getting customers to re-ente…

The example given in the article is a pay-to-subscribe mailing list run on Mailchimp where you can use an API call to add the paying user to the list.
