It's multiple records per user over time. See something like posthog. One interaction with a form can generate 10-15 events. eg enter page, click link with text "settings", change input, clicked input, etc. So active user

That's it. The scammers display ads. Two scams: one is mostly or entirely artificial traffic; a second is eg low quality ad slots disguised as higher quality. For the latter, think ads in videos shown off screen with programmatic in

An American who interacts with health insurance can easily do that. Insurers will literally try not to pay just because some percentage of people give up. I went to the dentist recently. They wanted to do a "deep cleaning". cos

I'm aware. Like I said, you're foolish to trust google. That said, the claim in the reddit post: that the ban spread across the entire gsuite account and also any account that used that device, is far more aggressive.

Yeah, a $800k property paying 0.2% or $1600/year is... seems low for the provision of roads, schools, firefighters, etc.

Spain charges you tax if you rent the property out. If you don't rent the property out, it imputes a rent and you are charged tax on the imputed rent. The cadastral value is (finger in the air) 40% of the value of the property; you pa

A friend owns pizza restaurants. They leapt at the opportunity during covid to shut their bathrooms to the public, and have continued to (illegally) keep the bathrooms closed as much as possible. People made horrific messes in them. Emplo

Sorry, that's a really poor analogy. Because there's a handful of companies (lectronz, seeedstudio, ebay, etc) that have the full shipment lists. So the compliance agencies don't have to go after individual business records

Airtable and Harvest weren't failing. They just weren't as profitable as hoped, and appear to have eaten most of their TAM and were wasting the engineering dollars being spent building features to increase the TAM. Bending Spoons

Yeah, there definitely is a library here. It is a small library: ~5 klocs. In part because it just does (a lot less) than React and leans more on working with the browser instead of a shadow dom, etc. The downside is it does less than rea

no api. The way it works is thus (rails, because it's what I regularly use): The system is called Turbo. A turbo_frame is just a custom html element. You can largely use it instead of a div. Turbo's js watches for navigation ev

It's common for databases. This is Percona's business model. They employ core pg/mysql developers and you can buy a support package from them. Same for enterprisedb. Pretty reasonably priced packages (like maybe $10k-ish&#

I don't think it's played; it's that idiots brought low-margin businesses into a high-margin enterprise b2b saas company (that exploits a monopoly too) and are shocked that gaming is not going to give you 30% or higher margin

This really sucks. I not only like fly a lot, I have two production apps; thousands in annual creds up for renewal soon; and some mildly embarrassing discussions about migrations to have.
