  • I imagine there were 2 primary reasons, one financial, one personal:

    Number of heavy users (including a lot of mods) would’ve forced Christian to implement an open-ended cost model based on individual usage, or raise rates across the board to compensate, making it ultimately cost-prohibitive for the average user, and/or

    Not wanting to communicate (by folding) such a change was okay. To move to a blanket cost model is to basically admit that you’re okay with and accept the changes.

    Some might say it was pure stubbornness and greed, or conclude his decision was a bad one. That’s its own topic for debate I guess.







  • If B=A, why would you ever think A=B?! Learn your logic, man! That’s on you.

    Really though, the structure for the program is just so aggravating. I’m a Pardot man myself. (Sorry. “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.”) Every time I try to get a client to go with it, the AE’s jump in and desperately try to throw in Mobile Studio and everything else Marketing Cloud. I always go back to the client behind the scenes and warn them that if they go that route, I won’t set it up. It’s not worth the pain.









  • I agree here. First, the idea of being cognizant of your biases can allow a potentially more unbiased opinion. For example, when consuming news media, one can recognize their preferred outcome, and perhaps spend some time getting “the other side of the story.” I’ve found doing so actually helps clarify certain issues or events, as the common thread between the two stories tends to be where the truth lies.

    But there’s also the inherent desire for us to advance or evolve as humans. Bias isn’t necessarily “bad,” since that seems to indicate we’ve settled on something we think provides a net positive to ourselves or the species. It turns bad when we’re not willing to acknowledge the possibility there’s a better way.

    So, I guess to sum it up, out the gate, I don’t think one can be truly unbiased, but I think one can learn the ability to make decisions with equal preference for both decisions. To live in a world of only bias is, imo, akin to evolutionary stagnation.

    Rumor is that Twitter didn’t want to renew its Google Storage contract, but the migration to the new system is taking longer than expected. Now that it’s July 1, everything’s going to shit.

    Again, that’s the rumor.
