I don't get it, why ad-blockers can't request a DNSBL managed by them to know if that CNAME is authorized or not? Granted, it requires a bit more network request, but completely breaks the CNAME cloacking method.

For information, this link came from this article at TNW: https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/03/a-...

Which brings a little more details about the reason why it exists.

You can also hear beeps from maybe some watch.

I didn't made it, but I've found it from this article: https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/03/a-...

Ahahah excellent :)

I found the link from this article: https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/03/a-...

(I'm not the author of the website)

I think you will find a bit more explanations in this article.

I've been working on PDFShift (https://pdfshift.io) for a almost a year now - alone. I'm nearing 100 customers and will soon be able to make salary :)

A few things annoy me on this article.

About deaths: The author says nuclear causes fewer deaths than the rest. Maybe that's true, but he (voluntarily?) omits to take into consideration long term health issues related to incidents. The Tchernobyl accident released radioactve cloud that affected many people that died of cancer or are having health issues related to it. Worse than that, it's almost impossible to track who got sick because of those clouds. So yeah, maybe just a "small set" of people died DIRECTLY following nuclear incidents, but long term effects cannot be ignored just for the sake of the argument.

Next, the waste. "stored in a walmart, that degrade over time". Again, the author omits to say the duration ... over time is an understatement here, you will be long gone before that "waste" is not dangerous for environment.

I stopped reading after that. The post is written in a way to force you to accept his arguments by omiting half of the true story. That's not journalism.

Plans: The re-design is almost done (said that last month ;) ). I plan to launch it next week.

You can have a preview at https://pdfshift-dev.netlify.com. Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter! :)

I haven't done that, but I'll try next time to see how she explains it. That's a good idea, thanks!

As others said, "really knowing the material" is one of the important things that can cause confusion.

Practicing is also important, but for that, I need people that are willing to listen to me struggle.

Thank you for your help.

Yep. I think I need to keep working on trying to explain things, finding alternative ways to be understood and find something that works.

Thanks :)

You are indeed not the first to mention this book. I'll see if I can grab a copy. Thanks.

Yep. I need to work on filtering what I'm explaining, keeping the simple things at first, then increasing the difficulty if asked.

That's a challenge in itself :)

I have the faculty to feel what others feels, and that's worse in my case. I feel when I lose them, which make me start to want to explain more, which in turn worsen the situation.

Maybe in that case I should try to stop that feeling and go with my initial idea ... while keeping in mind whom I'm adressing to (like you say in your comment)

Ahahahah ... oh wait, are you serious? ;)

Thank you. I'll try to think more in giving explanation under 16 words or less. Even if that doesn't work, it will be a nice exercice to follow :)

Thank you for your advice.

I did asked a lot of question, at every step of the explanation, to ensure she was following, but when I tried to wrap it all, that's where I lost her.

I might also have tried to explain her something she's not ready to understand based on her school level, that might be a a part of why she didn't understood my explanation.

I think you nailed it.

I do try to explain more in depth (too much). I'm working a lot on this and stop explaining when the main basis is covered, but my pragmatic approach forces me to cover ALL the parts.

I also agree with @WheelsAtLarge about that I might now know a subject as good as I think. When I start explaining something, I realize that I came short on explaining some parts because I lack the knowledge.

Thank you for your comment, it was helpful.

I'm a bit concerned, hence my message here - but not too much to go see a doctor.

Maybe I'll drop a word next time I'm at the doctor in case he knows something ;)

Yep, you are right. I identify in what you say here in many points.

As for the practice makes perfect, I recently started a "philosophic" group with a small set of friends where we speak about various stuff. The idea being to express my ideas, share my opinion, argue, and try to be understandable. Hope this wll yield some good results in the future.

Thanks :)

Wow, I relate completely with what your wife is saying here! I do often mix words in a phrase or swap the context.

And man, I speak fast (don't articulate much). My friends used to call me Buzz Lightyear because I was speaking at lightspeed ;)

Thank you.

I do have other advantages against other people, but I believe that everyone is better than others in specific areas, so I didn't consider them much ;)

That's indeed what often happens - having to re-explain or they understand what I meant to say. But every time I do this, I lose a bit of credibility, and that adds up in the long run.

Moreover, sometimes, I lose people completely because "car" was also correct in my phrase and made my phrase impossible to follow :/

Thank you for your advices. About wordthink.com, I'm French so it might not work for me, but I'll search for a French alternative, it might exists.

More globally, your advice of thinking shorter and waiting before speaking might be some key in helping me.

Thanks :)

Here's mine:

Plans: I'm almost done with the redesign, hope it will convert to more customers.

Being bootstrapped means that you need to do a lot of things by yourself. You can't hire a team yet because of the lack of money and at first, everything is manual until you identify repeatable patterns that you can automate.

With https://pdfshift.io, I'm in the same situation. As a tool to convert HTML to PDF, I get many requests about documents not being rendered well on PDF. I take the time to help my users tweaking the CSS to have the perfect result. This takes a lot of time and doesn't always make them convert, but for those who do, I have a lower chance they churn because they know they can count on me.

What do you mean about "Feature phone"?
