There was a site, I can't find it now, that had the anonymized question data for sale but I think it was $20K or in that ballpark. Also I think they do license the data to universities upon request. E.g. siepr.stanford.edu/system/files/shared/Piskorski-SIEPR.pdf
To be fair, from what I recall while I was there, the blog was also instead of paying for a PR firm and having Sam going on morning talk shows that didn't really hit our demographic or help our growth much. So once we got bought the need for it did decrease a lot.
I heard there is a book containing a lot of similar information coming out though.
Have they participated in any more? It seems like one off investments by giant PE firms probably aren't helpful to any startup that doesn't already have a personal connection to those firms.
Why are graylists that horrible? All it does is require the sending server to retry 5 minutes later; I don't see how that would have any impact on a business unless they are in the habit of being on the phone with new customers and asking them to send an email at the same time.
Offhand, HSBC and the Royal Bank of Canada in Canadian currency. Pretty sure you can open an investment account with Interactive Brokers in multiple currencies although that's not a true bank account.
You might have to go to one of their foreign branches to do it though. I don't know if you can just show up at a branch in Iowa (for example) and they would know how/be able to open an account denominated in another currency.
Huh? I know lots of people who have bank accounts in other currencies. Any taxes due on them obviously have to be paid in USD but there's no inherent law against it afaik.
Contact your local cogent rep. If your dedicated server is in a building with a cogent feed you can probably get a line to it. I'm not sure their current non sales pricing and that might require a 10Gbps commit.
Good luck changing that in the US. If you got waiters subject to the normal minimum wage then there might be potential. Hopefully you don't take your dislike of a system out on someone forced to work within it.
Given you can get 1Gbps from Cogent for ~1K/mo (at least that's the price I heard last time they were having a sale) that works out to $0.003/GB, so both are making a massive amount of profit.
So why are you a shareholder? Or why haven't you attempted to change the policies from long term thinking to quarterly thinking like most companies these days?
Assuming they haven't updated it since I was there, its an auth token that expires after a specific amount of time (I want to say 2 weeks but its been a long time)
When you swipe your credit card it tends to end up batch processed not in real time but yeah that does eventually go through a mainframe. Other than that I agree gooby. :)
I think he means rack mount home servers, those are pretty nuts because of the noise that most rack mount cases make. Figure in a 1U case you normally have at least 4 15K RPM fans going at all times, even if you put it into "quiet" mode its enough to hear from the next room normally.
So as far as security for email goes you prefer people to outsource to Google Apps or similar rather than likely screwing up and having an insecure configuration?
Just curious what you consider best practices to be in that case.
Do you advocate setting up something like google authenticator (RFC6238 I think?)if you run your own email server or does it make more sense to use client side SSL certificates for that?
