Ignore the trolls and remove the alleged infringing image. Paying them £400 every time is just an invitation for more trolling.
The archiving could have moved it onto another platform that you don't have visibility of.
Suspiciously discontinuing this after outages feels like it was a resource hog.
I’ve got quarterly reports going back years with a folder for each quarter. The file contents are so similar that searching for a specific quarter would just bring them all up. Much quicker to drill down by folder.
Yep, I had one .eu domain. Got a few e-mails, happily ignored them all and let them cancel it.
Was it the payment processing company that were prone to dropshipping and barely-legal sellers, or that what was clogging up customer service?
I'd imagine those rare exceptions are exactly where most of customer service time in ecom/payments is spent.
Inside attack / insider's admin account credentials compromised / admin panel itself compromised. Would love to see an RCA on this.
Jack Dorsey's been pretty active on the podcast scene recently, and I feel it's harder to fake your personality in multiple long form conversations. I never got a hint of arrogance from him.
On a side note, why do people love to paint being the CEO of two companies in such a bad light? How is it different to a CEO of a conglomerate having responsibility for multiple divisions?
Trademarks normally work under a "use it or lose it" policy, so it's slightly different to avoiding typosquatting like you could with a domain, in that you actually have to demonstrate usage of it to maintain the registration.
Slightly off topic, but it took me a few attempts to really get into The Alchemist - maybe because I didn't appreciate where it was going or it just wasn't good reading material for where I was in life.
Eventually I stuck with it and found it a really eye-opening read, I feel like it's a life guidance book in disguise and I'm usually averse to them but the concept of a Personal Legend really did resonate with me.
Not really surprised by all the negative reviews on Goodreads, I stubbornly felt a similar way for a while.
This is brilliant - I'm amazed how humble you are in calling it a stupid website. I've always wanted to do "something" with video development, just because it's always been a massive black hole for me. Any tips?
And if you don't want to disable JS, every time you reach the article limit, in Chrome you can go to the Application tab in DevTools and "Clear site data".
I was thinking more businesses will question their long term commercial rentals and seek more flexible alternatives with a lighter overall footprint - benefitting the likes of WeWork.
You're right, MS Teams is definitly better placed as an org-wide communication/collaboration tool, not an external one. They really need to make it easier to communicate with people in external orgs, the org switcher is my biggest complaint.
FWIW, IT can allow people in certain groups to make their own teams, it's an admin setting.
Sometimes the advice you don't want to hear is the best advice, so thank you for giving me hard truths!
I'll check out the book for sure. Good luck with the course.
You are ready - if you stick to your niche, you'll be competing with consultancies who might not even have a niche and don't have a deep understanding of all the nuances with the data that you do.
Re: bureaucracy - it depends a lot on where you're based, how regulated the industry is, and how sensitive the data is. I wasn't really suggesting hiring employees, you can find remote contract workers on freelancing boards as well (just be careful to filter out all the noise).
I have just got the MVP ready for my 'analytics in a specific niche' SaaS product - I'd love to just pay someone cash to sell it for me and help me get from zero to one. I'd happily give recurring referral commission on top of cash. I can then work on refining the product with the first few customers.
What are my options? This looks promising but sadly I seem to fall under one of the "This course isn't a good fit for you, if..." points (last one). If anyone could direct me to other options I would be very grateful!
Wrangling data around is highly sought after - don't undersell it! One idea would be to write about your experiences learning and implementing data transformation in your industry niche, and advertise a consultancy service to help other companies with similar requirements.
You specified you want to earn the money on the side and you allude to not wanting to trade time for money, so it's a perfect arbitrage opportunity to get client work and outsource it, positioning yourself as the manager/architect.
Report to TransferWise as well, I've never used them but have heard their support is decent - that's not to say they'll be able to help you but it's worth doing for sure.
Anecdotally, I've worked with a lot of companies who are already on the Microsoft stack and either get heavy discounts for Power BI or already have it included in their Enterprise licenses. (There's also another class of companies who refuse to look at any competing product if Microsoft have an offering...)
My recommendation to the technical decision makers in those companies who are either confined to Power BI or just feel a lot safer working in that environment (instead of investing heavily in development time to recreate the same thing) is to embrace the Power BI service out of the box as much as possible, and then if they really need to, create custom D3 Visuals for their reports (yes, this is possible with Power BI, I was quite delighted when I discovered this): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/....
I think the idea is to train Face ID with the mask on.
Average views per channel (with >10m subs) might be down, but that doesn't mean total viewing time on YouTube is down across the board. Views might be spread out over different channels (This data only represented changes in 49).
EPS of $1.09 (beat estimates by $0.12). Revenue of $7.01B (beat estimates by $90M).
Currently 8.39% down in after hours trading.
Fasted last 15 years. In my experience, the first couple of days are tough (mainly due to the body adjusting to different sleeping patterns and the lack of coffee), but after getting over that my energy levels come back. My output as a developer increases because my concentration levels are higher. This continues to increase right through the month. While I'm fasting, I feel like "I" have complete power/purity over my body. Fasting is not only to remember the people in poverty, it is to learn self restraint. The week after Ramadhan I begin to regret going back to old habits (5 cups of coffee a day, thinking about food/snacking during the day etc).
The problem I've found people who test it have, is they try the first day and say it's too hard (it is). You only really experience the benefits after a couple of days.
