Grain finished has higher fat content. Better marbling and generally grades higher. Wagyu is grain fed for a reason.

The ad industry is a quagmire of fraud. Assuming someone got value out of money spent is tenuous.

Putin already took the land, it’s not an issue of handing over anything.
Well done. I like it. Could use an indicator showing an attack is available.

Re:Be careful what you test or deploy to Vercel on Thursday April 06, 2023 @07:14PM (#35475817)
Vercel is sooo easy. Hook it to a repo and you’re done. It’s also cheap depending on use case. Edge functions are nice. Zero complaints from me as a customer for a little over a year.

I work with a small crew and having no server maintenance lets us ship more code. Really as simple as that.

I read this book two weeks ago. This review is dead on. The book definitely sparked my interest to learn more. I take my technician exam next weekend. My one complaint about the book is the typography and spacing is pretty bad - at least the Amazon version I bought.

You’re describing a multivariate test. Two groups under two different algorithm variants. Multivariate tests still require control groups.
Is there a huge gulf? They are the three main crimes all drug cartels commit. Seems more like a natural progression than a gulf.

Skeuomorphic design simply doesn’t work. Turning knobs and dials on a touchscreen? It’s a three dimensional interface slapped on a 2d canvas.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling. "La-tinks" is just as much of an anglo-ization as pronouncing it like "Kleenex". There aren't a lot of cases in Spanish where three consonants are mashed together. Especially not ending with an "s" sound.

Re:After spending $57M on Facebook ads, I was kicked off on Monday January 04, 2021 @11:42AM (#25633768)
This is typically what companies spending 57m on ads do. Its less expensive per click/impression as fb/Google don't take a cut. More expensive to manage.
If ozonetel is trademarked it's generally against Google Ads TOS for competitors to use the term in ad copy. File a complaint.

Re:Lessons learned from onboarding emails with no HTML styling on Wednesday October 07, 2020 @01:12PM (#24710371)
Tbh I've never optimized for reply rate so this could have been true for me as well. Generally selling dtc. Open rate and sales increased reliably 10-15%. Haven't done any comparable email marketing in two years so things may have changed since then and obviously my anecdata may not be true for you.
Re:Lessons learned from onboarding emails with no HTML styling on Wednesday October 07, 2020 @11:07AM (#24709020)
Emojis in subject line reliably increase open rate in my experience. Also others report the same:

Maybe SO emails go over the top though
