BART doesn't go directly there. You need to take VTA which has major stations near mountain view and San Jose downtown. Tailgating is definitely a thing and the traffic is relatively good for an NFL stadium (not good, but relatively good)

As long as they are starting the Alabama center, I like our chances

you can find it using site search.  Here's the link

I was watching him from the stands. He was testing out his ankle with a trainer it looked like. Based on whatever test the trainer was doing, he didn't pass from what I could tell and was held out the rest of the game. My guess is that it's not significant enough to keep him out next week, since it was close whether he would return. 

Houston is not a great tourist city TBH. There's the Museum district but it's nothing special for a city that size. 

Food: I'd recommend upscale Mexican like Xochi. It's the best thing they have there. 

I swung by the red roof inn near the airport and it's teaming with Bama fans. Your mistake is looking for them in places that don't require a sheet deposit 

I think you broke the rss feed, which will mess up a bunch of integrations people have with mgoblog

Offer is still on the table to let you sell the (Ad free) app.  I don't need any share of the proceeds, its useful for my day job

Been using it for years.  Push notifications aren't implemented

Using the RSS with IFTTT is probably the easiest way to do this

Exactly. Instead of spending 6 figures of SWE time to build a cheap knock off of GFYCAT, we could just donate the $10 a month or whatever it would cost to get a Canva license.  This is a very solvable problem with existing technology 

I think they did an amazing job of demonstrating that there is no viable business model behind free GIF creation/hosting.  Why would someone want to take another bite at that apple?

I wonder if the 3rd party advertising cookies are at issue. Incognito mode would limit the number of external API calls and you would expect legacy browsers like Firefox to be less up to date on those than Safari and Chrome 

There are limits to what you can do automatically. That approach risks data discontinuities 

Using Universal Analytics is very Lloyd Carr.  Start using GA4

Unless you plan on adding a 120 inch or better projection system, that's not a man cave. Your Tv options are most definitely pre-teen. 

Why are you buying scale up server hardware instead of migrating to AWS or GCP and adopting autoscaling infrastructure?  This is some 80s server tech

If you make it west, Niku Steakhouse is the best I've eaten at. They direct import Japanese Waygu.

Honestly with the end of 3rd party cookies, this is the future of display advertising.  There's really nothing you can do about this unless you are prepared to change the login state of your users

With the deprecation of 3rd party cookies, starting in Safari and then Firefox, this cross site tracking will stop. MgoBlog is going to lose a fortune but at least your bad behavior won't track you around the web

Talking about Newborns without mentioning the Snoo is criminal malpractice. This blog is not a place for parenting advice

I'm surprised you don't experiment with new business models during this downturn

This is the worst thing I've seen on this board since the redesign. 

I wonder if HUEL really deserves all the flak for this.  It could be that Brian & Co. are paying them in Girl Scout cookies and good intentions.  This would be the expected result.  They may be making awesome websites for companies that pay in pieces of eight.

That wont work for them.  Their traffic load is way too high.  They need something that decouples the site from the traffic

If only there was some sort of mobile application so that users wouldn't be exposed to all the dynamics of drupal implementations

So this is basically wrong. Building an app that doesn't crash the server is pretty easy. 

I would argue that you have a much more valuable demographic than the average website.  This enables higher cpms and podcast sponsorship packages. No one wants to pay top dollar to service the 11Warriors retirement planning market. 

If it was me, I'd offer a premium service for ad free mobile content for users that wanted to go that route. Mobile display ads are a losing proposition for all involved. Luckily it's not my call and I get to just complain about something that's really hard (running a small tech media business)

What's he supposed to say "the team is loaded with NFL talent but can't execute simple plays"

The coach has to stand by his team in public. I'm sure the internal message will be more "nuanced"

I wrote them an app that solves all their scaling issues, asked no money for it and they showed no interest. I really don't get it.  My sense is they are burnt out on this business but make slightly too much money to give it up

I think it's more that the economics of this business don't support those things. An app costs 50-100k to do properly. Good (non HUEL) designers are expensive. Ads for residence inn Ann arbor don't pay that well

There's dumb and then there's whatever this is

California is the largest state and has the 5th highest growth rate. It is literally the Golden state

Heh. What's this app you speak of?

Watched the Horror in that bar. Never again. It's cursed. 

Tracking this guy's pithy inserts were my entire motivation for writing an app

Thanks for the clarification Seth and my apologies to the team if this approach overstepped.  Let's consider this topic closed until this can be discussed offline.

Thanks everyone who signed up for the whitelist; I'll circle back if/when this topic resolves to the mods satisfaction

I haven't discussed it with them.  My understanding is that the last 2 got nuked for costing a lot of money to support and not giving any revenue to the site (while making some for the developers).  Content owners are completely right to get annoyed when people start leeching off their work product.  

Right now, I'm, just trying to figure out if people find it worthwhile.  Its makes no sense to discuss the commercial implications if no one wants to use it in the first place.  The constraints on testing are in place to make sure that its isn't disruptive

Greater market penetration and a more open distribution ecosystem. iPhone hasn't really innovated in the last few years

I'm still trying to get Brian to unblock me on Twitter. Rev share seems like a bridge too far

Its something I am building on the side.  It's almost ready for Beta testing.

I don't see how I can charge for this (or at least charge AND keep the money).  The site mods do too much work for that.

This is mobile. We are strictly going Venmo

As someone who builds large scale webservices for a living, I'm pretty confident that the mgoblog redesign was not executed well. Luckily the content is high quality and you can overlook most of the issues. 

One day, I'm going to build an Android app mostly to show that's it's not hard and drives higher user engagement/ad revenue. 

BiqQuery.  Only a great fool runs local software these days

Lost in all of this: Brian promised to eat a Lemon if Pardon went 24 on 15 shots. He did 20 on 10. It’s clearly Lemon time!

I'd like the ability to mute certain people in the forum

Dunno. I’ve seen people behave like this and it’s usually accompanied by dangerous amounts of alcohol. Can’t possibly end well

Someone needs to get this guy help before he hurts himself. I know it’s fun to laugh at him, but this is a serious issue. 

Going to bump this back up, since I was ridiculed at the time for it
