What happened to the Native Americans happened more than a century ago. And, case in point, how well did it work out for them?

We live here now. Our families, our friends, our communities. We have every right to self preservation that they did-there is nothing hypocritical here.

The comparison is disingeneous. Ignoring the fact that most natives were wiped out by disease, European arrival in the U.S. was a clash of totally independent groups. There was no forced integration and little intermingling of communities-this was warfare, not simple immigration.

It wasn't right (through the lens of our Western culture) to uproot natives who had built their lives here, but that doesn't justify doing the same to generations who've similarly replaced them. In any case, land is finite, all current peoples have displaced others at some point. That doesn't mean their communities and countries suddenly have no right to cultural self preservation.

Sometimes I wonder why most people of my country are so apathetic towards these privacy related news and often debate on stupid issues of who said what.

If this would have happened to a developed country, I am guess it would have been a huge uproar by now.
How did you determine if that 100 email cutoff you set is reasonable or not? Honest question.
I think these are good questions. But I also think there are good answers.

One solution is for my client to sentiment-analyze as a filter after the api-call and downrank that way (much like reddit/HN downrank controversials).

Maybe a more generic solution is to allow parties to "tag" twitter accounts. Clients could then make intelligent deductions based on tags (e.g. "political," "controversial," "satirical," "pg13").

I'm sure many other people have many other smart ideas.
I think this is a positive step forward, actively planning to keep the service sustainable is a solid game plan.

Having more than 1000 pix means I'm now a pro member again, which I let lapse when storage went to 1 ter. Though, my ~38,000 pics only take up 5% of that terabyte. Some of those 2004 pictures are really tiny. Photography may not be as much of a focus for me now, but those early days were really engaging, here's hoping SM brings some of the magic back.

Having lots of pictures, and albums has made sorting, managing them much harder with the Organize browser tool. I'm interested how Smugmug will be improving the experience of managing photos and albums.

Will Organize be getting some of the new direction focus?
I'd wager that the walkout was over the $2,000,000 a month paid to Rubin.

Also, people claimed that the payment was to keep Rubin from working with competitors... But some others say that it was to buy his silence over what others might have been doing...

Boy if I could shout this from the rooftops to all the AI "luminaries" or people that think AI is going to deliver us to some utopian future where work is now unnecessary and we are all free to "chase our passions" (and along with it, this junk notion that UBI is somehow now fundamentally required to continue society), I would.

Yes, that is my opinion. And if it's possible to build something minimal that helps demo or describe the product to users, it's totally reasonable to build that thing quickly and take it to customers for feedback.

The pitfall to avoid is investing large amounts of time, energy, and money building products in a vacuum based on assumptions about what people want and will pay for. I've heard this referred to as committing "assume-icide."
Report: New England Teamsters Pension Plan Insolvent by 2027
The post I replied to implied that the criminal justice system is the only solution to these problems:

"employees should be able to sue, that's the process,sexual harassment is a crime, they can't sue because Google force them into arbitration,"

Notwithstanding the unbelievable confusion of law in that post is a whole other conversation.

I argued that companies should also have a plan in place to prevent sexual harassment at work by using an analogy to robbery, also a crime, that we use preventative measures to stop despite there being a criminal system punishing robbery.

Your response was claiming I was expressing poor judgment for arguing that companies are responsible for not creating environments rife for sexual harassment.

"Comparing sexual assault to a store robbery in a tone of sarcasm is at best a poor judgement call."

I don't agree. I think it's a reasonable demonstration of the absurdity of the position I'm replying to.

I don't know what else you wrote, but that's what I replied to.

Houston has zoning though in the form of very high parking requirements, and it's exactly why there are sprawling strip malls for miles. A better example of what a city without zoning would look like is New York (since most of the buildings were built before modern zoning locked what was there historically in place), but especially the tenement districts of the lower east side.

How's this a secret?

I used to work in retail/service. Not something with data and metrics, just a mom'n'pop. But we knew our customers. We especially knew our regulars. And you did try not to piss off a regular.

But from this I learnt that people will try to play their 'value' as a trump card when they want to complain. Do you know who I am, do you know how much I spend here, I come here every day, blah blah blah. They are very quick to make sure you know this isn't about a $4 coffee, this is about keeping them & their business.

This isn't a secret, It's just an answer. Yes, they do know who you are. Surprise!
$50 annually just to store and share photos is a bit too much for my use case. Half of that would definitely justify it. But I am a very light user.

I'm all for these changes and went to go sign up for Pro (was since Flickr started until about 2 years ago)

But, .... it seems like they're jumping the gun here. I went to go resign up for Pro but you still have to do it through your Yahoo account!!!

I don't want yahoo even associated with my flickr account but I could find no way to disassociate the yahoo account.

Shouldn't they fix that before rolling out this change?

Yes, pretty sure. Had to zoom in a lot in audio editor to even see it. Could hear it nevertheless.

It's important for the room to be quiet, as the sound is very faint and easily masked, but it's there.

It's possible that Bluetooth headphones could lose it because of compression, or cheap DAC in the sound card simply ignores least-significant bits.

SPARQL is one of the worst query languages I've seen. We can thank the W3C for that. Using it for a few weeks makes it clear that it was born in an ivory tower committee rather than engineering experience.

Honest question: does this actually help you get what you're after faster? I've never been a call center agent, but I've worked closely enough with call centers to know that they are often divided up in to different skill sets. Even if the automated responses won't get you what you need (modern ones can do quite a lot!) and you really need to talk to a person, you still have to talk to the right person. (Or the right group, anyway.) My impression is if you mash '0' until someone picks they will just end up transferring you to the right group to handle your query and you might end up waiting longer overall.
Or perhaps you should work on your interpersonal and maturity skills... I didn't imply anything, you lost it over nothing trying to see things where there was obviously none. I was just tongue-in-cheek by putting some scientific facts out there, which may in fact trigger a real reflection of what not eating any animal product might mean to someone (and your point was just a generalisation that does not represent all views).

I guess the question is, are you building another CRUD/business workflow app? Or inventing self-driving car algorithms with a KITT AI?

One is highly possible and likely, the other is not. Most ideas will be somewhere in between.
Yes, the battle-tested argument becomes moot when enough time passes and there's enough adoption. This doesn't make the original argument invalid, though -- just unheeded! ;) It seems we software devs are doomed to reinvent the wheel, again, and again, and again.

The carotid is right under the skin on the sides of the neck. Academically, I suspect you absolutely could reach it with a push pin.

In Jiu Jitsu, you're taught to squeeze on the sides of the neck for a choke. The goal is not to cut off the air supply via the throat so much as the blood supply to the brain via the carotids. Many people pass out in 20-30 seconds of directed relatively gentle pressure on the carotids.
