> Would you care to help alleviate my ignorance?

People don't want to be regularly woken by strangers in their building.

Ah, I see. Well, my intention was to simply add evidence to the claim that the creator of the well known 2048 didn't know about Threes when he created it. There seemed to be a dispute, so I remembered the comment and linked to it.

The webpage for that 2048 references Threes, so even he is supporting a line of direct influence.

How does that negate my point?

You seemed to be implying that he must have known that there was a link between 1024 and Threes and therefore the term rip off was suitable.

Which 2048 are you referring to? The creator of the one that hit it off on HN said that they weren't aware of Threes until after it took off [0]

There's no relationship between Amazon's AWS pricing and pricing for goods and services in other markets.

> No it won't.

The article even backs this up by saying that Rubio and Perry may try to use it against Christie. At the very most it argues that Tesla could help decide who isn't president.

Calling someone a criminal degrades their status from someone who doesn't commit crime to someone who does. It degrades them from someone who adds value to someone who takes value.

There is moral judgement involved with calling someone a criminal, and rightfully so. Taking what other people have created by force or extortion degrades society.

Great tips, but it seems like a fairly random selection with basics about positioning and good gotcha tips like <tr> styling. I feel like there could be a whole page dedicated to floats.

Which, ironically, is tied to the conventional management view that butts on seats equal productivity.

> Also, I think recording strangers in public would help curb antisocial behavior.

We have that ability already. In Australia last year there were several cases of racially motivated verbal abuse on public transport being caught on mobile phones. These made the evening news. I wonder if this, and other similar instances around the world, have made anyone think twice before being anti-social.

> A simple basic income implies that you provide everybody with the same minimum income and they cut back on public services etc to the minimum since in theory people can now buy what they want.

I haven't seen the reduction in services implied anywhere. It may, however, be a reality when implemented, but the intention isn't simply to change how government funds are spent on the poor. Generally, the aim is to redistribute wealth from the 'rich'.

How many cases have their been where they had a suspect and not having the last 2 years browsing history allowed the suspect to avoid conviction?

I like that the leadership tips were generally about building confidence, instead of playing the victim as would be expected by the campaign name (as long as you ignore the intro copy).

Really the only tip that matters is tip #9, which basically says people will give you shit but do it anyway. This is something all kids need to learn.

It's your responsibility as a driver to pay full attention and avoid crashes. Isn't that hour 1, day 1 of driver education?

Advice: don't cold call hoping to sell. Unlike inbound methods, you have no idea where they are in the buying cycle. It could be years before you close, so don't bother trying.

Instead call to get information. Most people want to help. Ask them questions about things relevant to your service to qualify them. Ask them if they want information about your service and collect an email address. Add them to a nurture campaign so if they ever are looking to buy you're at the top of their list.

I got a marketing assistant to make these type of calls for a couple of weeks with a 60% success rate of getting an email address. In Australia email permission is opt in. I don't know what the conversion rate of the nurture campaign ended up being because I left the company.

Does anyone know which demographic generates the most advertising revenue for Facebook (yes, I have tried to find this data myself)? I'm curious, but it would also provide context to the impact of the teen trends stories.

1) Use industry averages for your target market based on studies or your own surveys

2) Show how you've worked out the value (e.g. 1000 reports = 20 hours saved. 20 hours x $100 (wage of target users) = $2000 value generated)

3) Use conservative figures and say 'get value from X' OR use higher figures and say 'get up to X value'

Network events aren't networking like television ads aren't marketing

^ First sentence of the article

I agree and have thought the same thing. When I got sleep paralysis in my teens I had the terror feeling and had the feeling of a ghost in my room.

The only time I was able to relax during an episode, I had the experience of moving out of my body. If it is possible to think that with the brain in a state of sleep paralysis then it could be possible at other times too.

In Australia, where this petition is relevant, these acronyms are well understood by the public and don't need further explanation.

The article states that Apple replied and said they didn't intend to take action.

So, Apple approved a blatant rip off and then refused to remove it when requested. That's scary and outrageous.

That would underplay the story too much. The person who had their work claimed by someone else found out and broke the story. The only misleading word is "from".

I started the process of getting a merchant account with NAB and quickly gave up. They had a long check list of requirements that had to be completed before the application was submitted. This included have the signup and subscription processes fully working so they could test them.

Pin is very needed here.

A tagging strategy has one purpose: to gather data for a reporting strategy. Why report on bounce rate where the expected use case is to "bounce" (follow link in, read, leave)? Surely the aim of blog reporting is to track visitor trends for overall audience growth/decline and topic popularity.

My guess is that the article is another of the dumb things said, with the aim of getting responses about good ways to learn from others.

Nice work. The results were random enough.

I'd recommend removing the need to click the retry button to reset.

This is a good reminder to think creatively about trials. Would be great to know what testing was done to show the 100 leads trial was the best.

LG has a remote control iOS app for its smart TVs that pairs via wifi. This gives slightly easier menu access and control over the cursor. The biggest WTF is for text entry. Instead of being able to use the iPad virtual keyboard, the keyboard in on the TV. You have to move the cursor over the desired letter and tap. Horrible.
