Feels like the first company to study is Amazon. They are super customer focused and they have actual content out there you can find where they talk about it in detail and what it means.
In the early days of Amazon they kept an empty seat in meetings to represent “the voice of the customer”, that’s how hardcore they were about it.
Hi there, a friend and I are very excited to release a new education course we've created for instrumenting product analytics. We’ve both been building digital products for some time, and have been involved in the setup and management of product analytics. We’ve learned a lot about what not to do (the hard way), and about what sorts of strategies help make product analytics setup easier and more effective.
We created this course to help people understand how to do it right, so they can start to have more confidence in their data and leverage it more often when making product and business decisions.
We’d love to answer any questions and hear any feedback, including what you’ve found to be the hardest part of instrumenting product analytics on your team.
A way to motivate people (including myself) to exercise with a chat bot that tracks your progress.
Originally built it to track how often I worked out, and if I didn't, what the reason was and have that reported back to me regularly. Now I have a bunch of people using it, but as you can imagine, makes me zero dollars. Well, technically it costs me money so it makes me negative dollars.
Great job. Thanks for sharing. It doesn't recognize me though
> Hey undefined! Interested in exercising more? Great! I'm here to help!
I'm following _kaizen_ technique to improve my reading skills (eg. reading 20-30 pages, everyday). Would be interested if your bot support more than exercise
This looks super interesting. I built out a spreadsheet of (very rough) projected financials for a business I was considering trying that was going to do something very similar; essentially gear rental for camping. I wasn't able to find a way to have it make sense as a solid business (margins were so tiny), but I still love this concept and would totally be a customer of a business that offered this. I'm moving to the Bay this month, maybe I'll give this a try! :D
Hi there, I work for Keen IO. The AutoCollector SDK was fixed early this morning. Version 1.0.8 no longer sends password fields in plaintext. If you upgrade your version to 1.0.8 you'll be good to go. We're working to inform all users of our AutoCollector SDK that they should upgrade immediately. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
Vancouver, BC. Supernatural beauty. Immediate access to incredible outdoors. Great food and cafe scene. Fantastic arts and music scene. Clean. One of the greenest (carbon footprint) cities in the world. Fantastic transit system. Fast growing technology sector. + all the benefits that come with being a Canadian city.
According to the census conducted in 2016, Vancouver has 603,502 people. In all of 2016, there were 67 murders, up from 60 the year before.
Vancouver is truly a beautiful city, with a fairly low crime rate considering it's the 3rd largest Canadian city. A good place to work, a great place to raise a family.
The only drawback if you are working in an international firm is that we are one of the last time zones to conduct business in. Be prepared for 5am or 6am teleconferences with Europe, and 10pm calls with Asia.
As an immigrant living in Toronto, I would say people. I have never been to states, so you can tell me if i'm wrong or not but Canadian people are really helpful, polite and courteous. You don't notice it till you go out of Canada. Also as a brown person, i have never had a single incident of Racism here.
I've been to both Vancouver and the states, and people were helpful in both places. Vancouver felt more European than, say, LA or NYC, though, it was much more relaxed.
Access to guns is extremely restricted. Canada is the second largest country by land mass, and thus police protection is not readily available at all times. In these cases, and others where protection of life is concerned, hand guns and other firearms may be authorized. There should be no instance where a common civilian is issued a hand gun or the authority to do concealed carrying. I've been in Canada my whole life, the only guns I've seen are on the hips of police officers (they all carry tazers as well as a first line of defence) and held by armoured vehicle occupants. I have seen one hunting rifle, but you'd have a hard time carrying that around in public. Permits must be readily accessible at all times while in possession of a firearm.
It's not that big of a deal to get a gun in Canada. It's easier and faster to get a firearms license (weekend safety course) than it is to get a driving license. People don't feel like it's a big burden to carry their driving license when driving either. Canada just doesn't have that big of a gun culture is really the main difference, and if people have guns they don't really talk about it. For example, my father had a few hunting guns since forever and I didn't even realize until 10 years after he bought it!
I also have lived in Seattle and SF for 5+ years, and like Canada you never see anybody but the police carrying guns around. Worrying about gun violence in the USA is fear mongering, you should still be far more worried about motor vehicles.
Also CC license people have much lower rates of gun violence and crime than the general population, it's not those people you have to worry about.
I moved away from Vancouver because of the cost of living : income ratio there. Seattle is basically identical, but housing is cheaper and pay is better for software people. And they are about 2 hours away from each other.
