Developer Income Report #3

GMail is the worst for email blocking resolutions. They don't have an effective feedback loop built into their system. So when a user does block you, no one is told about it, to be fixed. Therefore lowering your reputation with them over time.

How can we as ESPs respond to them appropriately with removal of these people who don't want our emails anymore, if we don't know who the user is?

If there are any GMAIL service team members here, I would LOVE to know why a feedback loop was never implemented like the other providers.

That country probably gave you the opportunity you have now. You might not think its worth 2 years, but the country does and everyone else in that country also did.

You should really think about going back and serving a country which gave you opportunities.

Yes. I own a current generation roomba and they pick up immense amount of dust from my house every 2 days. It works.

Its actually a regulation problem. City councils, local govts create this problem with restrictions on buildings and what type of things can go into their city. These people should rise up and realize their living in something created by govt.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. The term illegal is expressed in Oxford and Merriam Webster.

Its also expressed and used quite a lot in legal documents and written law.

Neither mean to use it as a racist term.

It's curious to see a facebook group that has +9k members, they were only able to grab 2 screenshots from all the news that it's a racist group. Only 2 screenshots certainly can't cast a shadow over the entire group.

I would like to wait a few more days before I see more from this group. I have doubts that it was that bad.

"It's because email is open. If we lose an open, healthy ecosystem with many providers"

Don't you see? This post on HN means you have created the CLOSED unhealthy ecosystem. You built what you just spoke against when you shut out email from small providers. Shame on you for speaking idealically and not confronting the reality of the situation.

Dave Ramsey, - Every Dollar App.

Dave Ramsey is probably the biggest expert in helping people get out of debt and stay out of debt. While its a 8 step program, he requires you to sit down and budget.

Just one more accolade. He is known in circles as the best program to get people out of debt and fast.

Along with his program he offers an App called Every Dollar.

Its a must have if you know anything about budgeting personally.

Can we list some good data searches to suggest below this comment?

I would love to see some cool data we might be able to use.

You don't need any of this stuff. It might be technically cool to do SMS now, but there is an android app for SMS Gateways. Just have an extra phone that sits around and sends SMS all day long. Much cheaper than Twilio if your sending large amounts of text messages.

Can I be the antagonist here?

I simply want a free market for the internet. Stop with government intervention on both sides. Simply protect the consumer and let the free market take over.

Who cares if companies like netflix get charged more? It will allow another competitor to bubble up since Netflix will start adjusting their prices. This works. Its called capitalism.

In theory, simply look at Lasik. Lasik 5 years ago, used to be 5k an eye. Now I can get it from a Pandora commercial for just $200.00. Thats capitalism. It drove prices down. I expect the same thing to happen with this. Competition will drive prices down quickly. It also allows the providers like Cox or Verizon to invest in their infrastructure. EVERYONE knows we are way behind Japan and other countries with our infrastructure.

Let people decide with their dollars, rather than the government deciding.

I don't understand why you bring in the military budget.

I could do the same with welfare, as it greatly outnumbers military spending even though its no where in our constitution or bill of rights to offer such.

Remove your personal issue and think about this rationally please.
