Do they get paid to host this? How much?

The blind community is 200% sarcastic. Don't take anything read there seriously.

Remove all the housing regulation in California and allow builders to build. You'll smoothly see rents going down to $500/month. Start having integrity and finally do what's best for your country, not best for just yourself. Otherwise... All other countries are quickly catching up (esp. Europe and Asia) and soon, it will be irrelevant.

I think that's just clickbait heading. They just promote their full version in their light version. That's normal and expected since forever.

Off topic: I can't subscribe to this blog with any of my emails (at the bottom of the page), getting a "Invalid email" for literally any valid email address I would enter.

WHY does this happen? Does loud music sell better than silent music? Nobody here, not even Wikipedia, mentions the reason WHY it happens.

I'm also not a huge fan in general, but it's a distinctly good method for getting feedback when building an API or product.

Let me tell you this story: October 2019 we did something similar, but took it to the extreme: We created 8 conventions on 8 days in 8 major cities in Germany to learn more about private investors and our customers. Time-wise, almost no rational person would've invested so much time.

We talked to almost 1000 real and some prospective customers. The learnings were amazing. In the following 4 weeks, we managed to improve product and reduce churn by 3X (~24% to 6%), which is generally unheard of. It was one of the best ways ever to build up user empathy and understanding real, underlying needs as well as a ton of UX problems.

"current customers who would switch to linux". Again, this is 0 incremental revenue but a ton of incremental costs to Adobe.

Why not study at a top German university instead? It's 100% free and you get a ton of international experience, learn a new language, and can still go to MIT/Harvard/Stanford/... for your master's or thesis

One more idea: "$BIG_TECH has huge developer economies-of-scale".

Whenever I or one of our devs has a problem with AWS or configuration, there's a 99% probability that anyone had this problem before and I find high quality google search results. That's not the case for OVH, Digital Ocean, ...

With developer salaries at 350'000 USD/year, you can now calculate the massive amount of savings.

According to the results, shouldn't the title be "The Microsoft Premium"?

One more idea: "$BIG_TECH will still exist in 10 or 20 years."
