Brilliant stuff. Fascinating to see how seasonal some of the searches are – "rosé" and "Aperol" spikes in July and December (southern/northern hemisphere summers?), "carbs" and "low-carbohydrate diet&

You’ve linked to an article about Soros advocating a second referendum, not funding the Remain campaign. Meanwhile, the Leave.EU campaign is being investigated for receiving funding from “impermissible sources”.

I think it would certainly be very interesting if more companies provided rationales behind some of their corporate policies. Perhaps this would create more of a discussion and better educate employees rather than just setting out the rules

I’ve worked on dozens of these “print on demand” programs over the last 10+ years for museums and galleries like Tate, MoMA, The National Gallery etc. They are a fairly standard part of most museum’s retail operations, but this is a particu

I’ve met a bunch of new people since I got a dog, in public and in the co-working office. Some have come to be good friends. I should point out that meeting people was not my motivation for getting a dog though.

I do E-commerce consultancy, CRO and Facebook advertising (still figuring how much to specialise). I was fairly fortunate to bring by previous employer on as first client, the rest of the leads have come through my personal network. The nic

I'm in my first month freelancing. The last time I wasn't in a full-time job was when I was running a small web design company in the 90s (it still exists and is run by @prawn). Finding work was not difficult – I was lucky enough

This could be a useful place to discuss all the newest ICO's coming out in real time. The unique rank is "Friend of the Universe" by the way. http://icogo.biz

Same experience here. The day after finishing Cockpit Confidential I experienced my first go-around landing in bad weather. I wasn't nervous because I had some idea why it occurred and what was happening in the cockpit.

My understanding is that contactless cards have limit of £30 per transaction in the UK. Apple Pay (perhaps it's the same with Android Pay?) has a significantly higher limit.

I'm happy to pay for things that provide value in my life. I pay a modest amount to some bloggers directly via Patreon for what I could otherwise get for free. I'm also considering doing the same for The Guardian (though that gets

We're not a startup, but we've had great success with Helpscout too. Our customer service team absolutely love it, to the point where it's difficult to convince them that Intercom is worth trying!

We have just completed a profitable FB campaign (5.5x ROI), after many attempts. The key for us was: (1) Audience. We created a lookalike audience based on the attributes of our high spenders, which outperformed all previous attempts by a s

(1) Is a killer, unless collaborating over distance comes naturally to the team.

I have a remote member on my team who came to us as part of an acquisition. He travels to our London office once a fortnight. It works well, but I wouldn't hire remote workers for new roles. The key reason for this is that our culture

My London team is based in WeWork, Old Street (London). We have 10 memberships, of which 8 have dedicated desks. At £400 per desk it's not cheap, but definitely comparable to equivalents. Beyond the physical space in a desirable locati

I’ve run almost exactly the same number of experiments as the author, and experienced the same frustrations until recently. It sounds as though the author needs to combine the "How we improve conversion without A/B testing" s

How does this "organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful"? I'll be disappointed if there isn't some ulterior motive at play. Some in this thread have pointed out they stand the collec

Granted, though I think the difference is even more pronounced when the primary purpose of the physical object is to be appreciated visually. Not to detract from the visual appeal of record sleeves, but the primary goal is to house the albu

There is much more to running experiments properly than it seems. While I'm not an expert on the statistics side, there are a few things I've learned over the years which come to mind... 1) Run the experiment in whole business cyc

Exactly. And for whole business cycles (for us, that's weeks) to accommodate changes in behaviour and traffic throughout the cycle. We try to run as many experiments as our traffic can handle, but we always estimate the sample size upf
