Donald Kendall started as a worker in a Pepsi-Cola bottling plant, but he swiftly climbed the corporate ladder, becoming head of the company’s international division by 1957 when he was only in his mid-30s.
I wonder if that career path is still possible today?

Re:Why my apps will soon be gone from the Google Play Store

I have a larger question. I know there is no answer now but i'll leave it here for posterity.
Everyone seems to have a love/hate relationship with app/play stores and these stores have a stranglehold on developers. "This is our new policy. Accept it or we'll kick you out."
The TOS we enter into with app/play store is fully in their favor with no rights to the developers.
For android, worstcase, i can have people download the apk from my website. For iphone there's no way around.

I think currency notation is more of a regional thing. Had we just mentioned "$", our Singapore customers might think its SGD (Singapore Dollars). We'd be better off using "USD $50.00". Thanks for the perspective.

Finally, im glad I’m not alone. When we were building SuperCMMS, we already had a few companies ready to pay us. So we needed a billing system from the get go. While we use Stripe, we still had to wrangle a lot of stuff (like taxes), since we wanted to integrating other payment gateways in future. To save time we decided to have “only a single plan - all features included”.
Now comes the unexpected part. People kept asking us why we have only a single plan. Maybe all of us are so used to multiple pricing plans on saas products. So we had to explain ourselves in the pricing FAQ’s.

The reason this exists is because even highly qualified graduates (Harvard included) suck at writing CV's/Resumes. How do i know? I went to a similar kind of college.
All of us go through the same 16-20 year education grind (K-12 + University). At the end of it we are made to differentiate ourselves through our CV's/Resumes.
A simple rule of thumb: A CV/Resume should be strictly-one-page and honest. Not sure if anyone needs cover letters anymore.

Network effects apply to almost every industry, not just social media apps. FMCG companies are a great example. The reason Nestle, Unilever, P&G have so many brands is because they have a phenomenal distribution network. Even a crappy product is guaranteed to make millions of dollars in revenue.

I think robots.txt needs to work the other way. You put in the robots.txt ONLY if you want the search engines to crawl your page.
The current way is akin to saying ... "You do not have a lock on your door. So we are welcome to come in ..."

Hi.
https://see3ee.com is a free tool that makes it very easy to compare and find the best cars and bikes in your budget. It is modelled after https://ec2instances.info.
The data is updated once a week. More often if I find the time. The usual caveat goes here … ”The data shown is not guaranteed to be accurate or current.”
