If you are a world renowned investor with fu money and don't particularly care about marketing, you don't need email capture.
But for the rest of you, email capture is valuable precisely because you own the delivery channel.
The author Nate says all his traffic is from search and social. Two platforms he doesn't own. An algorithm change or someone marking his link on spam on Facebook could be disastrous.
Having that email channel is crucial to any online business. And if your metrics stink, then you need to revisit how you're capturing emails and how you talk to your subscribers.
I've had lists with 5% opens and lists with 20% opens. The difference was how the list was built and how I positioned myself.
1. Standard rule for traveling: Your bags move along with you. In other words, you only step up to the x-ray machine as your bags are about to pass through. You never, ever, take your eyes off your stuff. It irritates the hell out of the TSA people, but who cares? In this particular case I think he was trying to do this, but forgot to take off his belt. I would have walked through and got patted down next to my bags.
2. Why we continue to put up with this nonsense is beyond me.
I always try to do this, but I also opt-out of the scanning machines. Any way to make them work together? When I opt out I am required to wait outside an undetermined amount of time until they decide I am not going to change my mind and just get me through the x-ray and pat me down. I always try to keep an eye on my stuff, but it's impossible at times. No problem so far, but I worry something will happen.
When I opt out, I keep my stuff next to me, or take it off the machine and wait for the TSA drone to show up. It doesn't go in until I'm going with the drone who's going to assault me.
I've tried this both ways: putting my bags on the belt before opting out, and holding my bags, opting out, and only placing them on the belt when an agent comes to escort me.
FICO has different models depending on what industry you're in, and then even then, they have different versions of the model. Here's some info if you want to google: FICO Classic 04, FICO Classic 08, FICO Auto 04, etc.
The crazy thing is that the scales are all different, so your Classic 04 Score could be completely different from your Classic 08 Score.
From a strictly halachic view point, ars is actually right.
If you are sabbath observant and keep kosher, but don't actually believe in God, torah from sinai etc, no one knows and you're still a kosher witness for example. (By kosher witness I mean someone allowed to bear witness in Jewish courts of law, at wedding ceremonies etc).
Conversely, if you believe in God and want to serve him, but are not that interested in Sabbath Observance for example, then strictly speaking you would be sentenced to death if there was a Sanhedrin (old high court of Jewish law, non existent since destruction of the Second Temple).
Of course if you declare your apostasy that's a separate issue.
Your claims are more how you feel about the religion then what it strictly requires. Also the Rambam's tenants are 13, not 12.
It's difficult to argue with you when you mention the word Halacha, which is specifically talking about the laws that revolve around behavior and actions. Even within that context, no one denies the concept of "Kavanah".
Ars used a dishonest argument that follows the following logic. "Since we would rather someone do the mitzvos without faith than not do them at all, then it must be that the actions are more important than faith." In fact, the only reason to act a certain way without the belief and intention behind it is "mitoch shelo lishma, bah lishmah" since actions can influence their faith.
Still, the fundamental point of Torah Observance is about hisbonenus, emunah, bitachon, and tikun olam. Almost entirely around understanding G-d and connecting spiritually. This is not just how I feel, this is black and white fundamentals. Sure, the mitzvos and halacha are crucial...but lets not distort that to mean that one shouldn't focus on the faith as long as he does the bare minimum action...
I stand corrected about the 13 maimonides tenants of faith.

Yes i know what a rakevet building(long building with say more than 5 entrances) is.They might not be that beautiful but functionality wise they are pretty decent. And many would prefer to have the option of living in such building than the current mess that is Israel housing today.
I have been to boot camp. I speak to a lot of mobile home park owners.
When frank talks about raising rent, it's typically because the parks are mismanaged by people who don't know what they are doing. In areas where there are multiple parks, rents hit a plateu because of competition.
The other issue, not mentioned here, is that it's really hard to build a new park. No city wants them so they won't allow them. Effectively there is a cap on supply and demand is growing.
A lot of this could have been solved by (pick a few):
1. forming a 1099 relationship with your devs if they weren't working full time.
2.Using a Personal Employment Organization.
3. Doing your research before blindly incorporating in Texas. We could debate for ages the merits of the state and federal system, but if you were going down this whole road of opening a company in another country and hiring there, then it would have been useful to talk to a tax lawyer and an accountant who are familiar with the issues involved.
TLDR;Europeans whining about things they didn't research, again.
if you did then please name them so I know not to use them. Hiring employees in other states should be bread and butter for any tax accountant working with businesses.
