it's monthly :) $240M revenue companies will absolutely find a way to fork $1M if they need to. Kimi most likely sees the eyeballs of free advertising as more profitable in the grander scheme of things

I agree with this, email (professional at least) inbox should be treated as its own todo list.

anything in the inbox is something to action, anything you don't need to action personally, archive / tag or move to a folder and be done with it.

If it's something to action then at least gmail has a snooze button and I've found that to be super helpful.

My rule of thumb is that I should not have more than 30 items in my inbox. If there's more then clearing the inbox takes priority over anything else (bar key meetings).

That's fine, I don't deny that, companies like circleCI and co are doing really well, but Docker is also critical to a lot of enterprise as well and yet the business model was not as strong as initially thought.

I'm curious to understand what the pricing is going to be and whether it's going to be well recieved or not (and right now, there is nowhere on dagger.io's website where pricing is mentioned)

Hey Solomon,

question coming from a sales guy among this crowd... Who does this impact the most and what outcomes does that help them achieve? At the end of the day, you need to pay the bills, for you and your team, who is going to sign the dotted line and tell you that yes "I need to invest $100k on this because it solves a major pain!"?

Whilst I can see this as a nice to have, I'm having a hard time understanding who your target market is going to be...

At the end of the day, I presume this is going to end up becoming a full fledged company, with its sales team, marketing and what not. What are you thinking about in terms of revenue channels so far ?

worth baring in mind that there's a lot of extra paid by the employer on top of the "gross" salary someone gets in Europe (especially in France) that someone in the US would have to cover by himself (hence why i't typical to see double that amount for someone in the US).

ugh, why should we need a browser extension to achieve this sort of thing.

As if browser weren't already bloated enough without taking extensions into account..

not really, Framasoft is a French company that develops a collection of open source alternatives to popular software.

It's the same as if Microsoft was posting a blog on its own msdn.com domain for something related to visual studio or SharePoint

this is a point that seems to be largely overlooked overall on the impact a specific country has on global emissions.

Overall, the US has a bigger impact than a country like Spain simply because you need to also factor in the supply chain emissions that come with it (in this case, a lot of it being generated somewhere else but being consumed in the US).

IE6 was released in 2001, 3 years before Firefox 1.0.

At the time, it was indeed a gift and Netscape was already on its dying legs with Netscape 6, bloated beyond recognition

how would that process look like in practice should you need to get to call the insurance guys? as in, would you claim on the cost to retrieve the data or ? (this question is general, regardless of the actual country)

really? I thought they were pretty much a direct competitor except with a different take on the whole idea. What's the use case for Quip then ?

How would that work considering Salesforce already has Quip ?
