You’re on the right track, the immediate value of the email addresses is near nil. Instead consider these email addresses are highly self-targeted due to the nature of the sign up. That can then be sold for direct use, for resale, or most l

If you change your mind, it shouldn’t be hard to handle the taxes; I think the approach would be the same as for hobby income. If you’re in the US and filing taxes as a employee I think you’d just sum up the book sales and stick that under

Sure, same as the total cost of a movie is how long it takes to type the name into a torrent search and click the magnet link. If the OP wanted a bunch of dead temp emails, why ask other people to input them. But, not my point. I think on H

The problem is not unknown value. It’s unknown cost. Until I know everything you will ever do to me with my email I don’t know the true cost. What I can guess—given the thousands of precedents I’ve encountered over the years—is that the tot

The reasons people choose to develop PWA or native have greater impacts on the user experience than the differences between the two. For example, many predict PWA development will be cheaper for them in the short-term. They are first optimi

Note that TOTP is not limited to a single authenticator. You can, for example, scan the same TOTP setup QR code once with an app on your phone and again with a different app on your laptop (or scan in one and paste the code in the other). I

TLDR; the author thinks outsourcing that attempts to increase ROI by leveraging international income disparities to minimize labor costs doesn't work because providers of such work want to earn as much as money as possible for their ow

Yes, "man" in this context is unequivocally gender-neutral. Hence my point that it's a visual irritant due to a very specific situation rather than saying it was an incorrect usage or a discriminatory term.

No. I'm making a pedantic (clearly) suggestion about a small visual irritant for the very good reason that because of the (hopefully) temporarily toxic environment in our field, some other human beings I care about might feel a bit

Plugging in rates would seem to be more applicable to me (a professional in the field) than to the target audience (people who don't know about app development.) Maybe for the audience I think you're targeting: a few big buttons w

by ylg 11y ago
You're correct. It's just that our field is not in a good state with gender equality at moment, so some consideration beyond the literal meanings found in dictionaries is often worth the tiny effort. See: "to add insult to in

This seems to me to be estimating the cost to get from a fixed spec to "works on my machine (or simulator)" rather than the total cost to go from an idea to shipped product with non-technical stakeholders (whom your estimator is t

Sure: CSS is better managed and maintained and more easily understood by future maintainers outside of React and JavaScript, i.e., more cheaply and with less risk. And there are plenty of sugars for making it even better, e.g., SCSS, LESS.

I'd say the fundamental issue is that they are solving the Yellow Pages problem, i.e. "how do I find a list of people who say they do what I need" or "… need what I do". That's not been a valuable problem to so
