Messaging apps make it explicitly clear and offer a way to opt-out.

In e-mails it isn't clear at all and unless you're tech-savvy you might not immediately realize that "remote content" means "read receipts".

Also, messenger read receipts don't leak your IP address and what kind of client you're using (via the user-agent header) whereas e-mails do.
There are two such methods left in Germany, chipTAN and photoTAN which (can) use seperate, external generator devices which you can buy. If you have multiple banks however, like I do, it's mixn'match. The last method left is smsTAN, which is insecure by default, and it's the first being phased out right now.

The move towards more elaborate TAN setups is due to PSD2 EU regulations; banks usually choose the way their lawyers deem watertight and product management considers acceptable in terms of cost, although especially on the lawyer side, interpretations of current law still differ. Which results in different PIN/TAN flows even between the major players at the moment.

Which country? I'm not a train nut, but 2km seemed middling in the U.S., so I Googled it:

> SMART Union transportation division spokesman John Risch told top rail regulator the Surface Transportation Board (STB) at an October hearing on CSX service problems the average U.S. train is up to 1.5 miles long (2.41 km), but CSX has routinely operated trains two or even three miles long since Harrison took over.

> if you send emails to people who don't read them, eventually they will flag you as spam

That's because you're spamming them.

> even if they signed up for the emails in the first place

Users can change their mind. Clicking anything in an email leads to susceptibility of phishing. So they shouldn't need to click an unsubscribe link to do so. Reporting you for spam is the safest option from their perspective.

And I would argue that most users didn't sign up for the emails. They were conned into giving their email and usually for a completely different purpose.

> Also it's generally useful to know if a particular email is read so you can test out different formats and whatnot.

That's a very dubious assertion. Formats are in the content of the email. Different formats won't tell you why one email was opened while another was not.

I'm always confused about "effectiveness" numbers. Are these "effective at preventing severe disease" or "effective at preventing symptomatic disease" or against transmission period? The article seems to suggest it's the latter, but it seems somewhat ambiguous. Does this term have a specific definition in epidemiology that journalists and pharma marketers assume everyone understands what kind of "effectiveness" they're talking about?
- Go through your linkedin/twitter/instagram account. Find people who would be interested. Send them an email/message.
- Search online for thought leaders, industry people that work in that specific field. Could be as easy as a twitter search, it could be more complex like going through white papers and emailing researchers.
- There are websites where you can request all sorts of feed back including MVP feedback. Fiver has a section (https://www.fiverr.com/categories/programming-tech/user-testing-services), and there are niche sites https://www.usertesting.com/
- Hacker News?
- Reddit has subs dedicated to that sort of thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/websitefeedback/
- Meetups. 2 different versions. 1) Prepare your elevator pitch and bring your phone 2) Message meetup founders and ask them where they would go for feedback, since they are thought leaders of sorts.
- Dischord (mentioned elsewhere)
- Just start trying to sell it the way that you planned on marketing it (hopefully you've thought about your marketing plan)
Lambda School can't catch a break from upset students
The program-wide changes that angered students back at the end of September are still having effect all over social media...

I was a student and was affected by the changes. I'll clarify here for anyone that wants the details...

Prior to the changes, small groups of students in every cohort was led by a TL. This TL was a student further ahead in the program, probably in part-time if they were a TL for full-time.

The TL had many responsibilities. They would attend lecture with their group of students, conduct 1:1 everyday with each of their students for 15 minutes, grading their work and giving them feedback. They would lead a stand-up at the end of the day with their group, reviewing whatever was relevant, and every morning before lecture they would meet with the instructor and acted as an intermediary to the instructor, relaying important information such as how well the students were doing, what they were struggling on, etc. TLs also supposedly acted as project leaders in build weeks, but I did not get to experience that.

Everyday, our assignments were graded by a TL on a 3-star scale. Our "sprint challenge" at the end of the week was also graded by the TL, which would force a student to retake the challenge if they got at least one question wrong.

Fast forward to when Lambda announced they were removing TLs, adding student mentorship, self-assessment, and groups called "track teams". The school also reduced from 9 months to 6 months (probably to pump us out quicker. From what I've witnessed, the shortened curriculum has done students no favors).

Most students were upset at the assembly announcing these changes, and pointed out the myriad of obvious flaws to the student mentorship program. Lambda claimed that the change was to improve "consistency" in the program, but students kept publicly speculating whether this was a financial move (Lambda admitted 3 months later that is WAS motivated by costs, after ignoring student speculation).
For some things (let‘s say frontend development) it does a lot. Even with a large number of plugins it still feels snappy.

No more attendance was taken, as well, which left the biggest accountability hole. My first student mentor wasn't great, and ended up ghosting me after a week. I was ghosted by my second mentor as well. And by no means was this an uncommon occurrence.

Track-teams, which replaced stand-ups, were now student-led, with the "leader" position rotated every week. The groups were now made of students of different cohorts, and the prompts we had to awkwardly read over during the meeting were mostly soft-skills. Very few people enjoyed this, and because Lambda was not taking attendance, most people did not go. This negatively affected build-weeks, though, since your track team is your build team. Build-weeks were supposed to give students experience with working in groups. But because Lambda was not keeping its students accountable, I ended up working with just one other person in both build-weeks, when it should have been 4 or 5.

Now the grading was the sketchiest part about all this. Lambda had just switched to using Google Canvas. The canvas was broken. The school had obviously not either tested or fully realized it, but it should not have been deployed. Students were now submitting all assignments and sprint challenges through canvas, and the only grade we got was whether we turned it in or not... So there was a period of confusion (at least in my cohort) where we kept asking around HOW and WHEN our work would be looked at and graded... Nobody really knew, this includes staff and "student-success". Then it became obvious that nobody was looking at or grading our work. We now "self-assessed" ourselves and determined whether or not we thought we were ready for the next unit. Heck, I couldn't even get the answer bank to the sprint challenges. I asked the Data Science program director myself at the time, and he just said "stay-tuned for updates on feedback".

Age of Suggestion
You're going to get so many responses missing your sarcasm.
I know that Lambda has now implemented an auto-grader, but it came too late for me. I was in that hole post-changes where Lambda seemed not to know what the hell it was doing, and graduated after.

There was even a week where I tested whether or not Lambda cared if I was submitting anything at all by NOT submitting anything. And... crickets. No more accountability.

There were even form submissions where a student could select "I want to be contacted by student-success or an instructor". Those form submissions didn't work, I tried them every week, and I sent feedback and personally DMed people complaining about this. Lambda School said the changes were to give students more 1:1 time with instructors... but there was no (working) process implemented to have this come true.

These weren't rejected out of hand - from the very first results there were ripe questions being asked (i.e., why did it take so long to measure thrust, and how were they controlling for thermal expansion, see even here on HN, quoted elsewhere in this thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12962579 )

You're absolutely correct that building better testing to disprove it completely is a good thing to do, just to remove the extreme unlikelihood that one of the most fundamental laws in thermodynamics are incorrect, but extreme skepticism is definitely warranted when the claim is so huge, and people are able to find realistic flaws (sufficiently realistic as to be proven to be correct) that would explain it entirely.
Do you have a link to your “do not hire” list of countries? I remember Sweden and Estonia being on it.

Students all across the board were and are still really upset. Some student posted a poll asking whether or not students liked the changes. Overwhelmingly, students answered NO, but soon after the poll was deleted by the CEO Austen. He's deleted quite a few negative posts on the Lambda subreddit, too. I'm obviously no fan of his, after he described the changes Lambda made as "small changes in schedule" when [this post](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25415017) blew up on hackernews.

The school really has a major problem with transparency and holding trust with students. I left the program unhappy with what I got from it, and I can say the same about my peers. If someone in real life asks me about the program and whether or not I recommend it, it's a solid no from me.
Not saying I agree but I can see some logic in that kind of restriction. If you're in a traditional office most of the information you work with will be accessible (to some extent) to those around you and either way, they can be held to account as employees. If you're in a purely public location you're likely to be quite guarded about who has view of your screen and maybe you will avoid working on anything sensitive. But in a shared space it's potentially the worst of both worlds - you might be comfortable / friendly with those near you, but they have zero legal relationship with your employer.

I wish it was easier to tell which vaccine was the better one to take. I know the "correct" answer is "whichever one is available to you", but let's pretend we're free-agent adults here and put the infantile answers aside for a moment.

There seems to be a very strong urge not to compare any of them as better, which puts users in a position of information asymmetry where they might not make the best health choices for themselves.

Is there any realistic way to compare which of the vaccine selections available in the USA is better given certain conditions? For example, if someone has a history of reacting to vaccines (GBS), is the attenuated adenovirus from J&J a better choice compared to the mRNA alternatives?
Opting into receiving an email is not the same as opting into being tracked by the email. Burying this in T&Cs that no one reads doesn't let the user know this is happening, and continues to violate their privacy.

I really refuse to believe you are a real person acting in good faith. Bur for the sake of your site, the links of your "exhaustive research"(I supppose the first page in some google search) are:

1) An article mentioning how China paid a substantial amount of Euros for a majority holding in the Piraeus port, when the European nations were squeezing Greece. According to Varoufakis, the initial deal was even better for Greece, which China investing a very risky 1.5 billion in greek bonds (essentialy Junk)

2. The second link dont mention China at all, it is just an article about the oil explotaition in Ghana and how it had presumably failed to bring the promised goods to the people in the villages where oil is prospected. Even if true, the promises are made by local politicians, not Chinese bureaucrats.

3) The SriLankan links is about how a journalist feel humilliated because China has been granted the lease of a SriLankan port after lendings up to 5 billion dollars have gone unpaid.

So these are the kind of links you are bringing to the table, multibillion dollar deals in China get some leases, and you are compariung them with 125k USD for 7% of the company. Last time I checked China does not own 7% of Greece, Sri-Lanka or Ghana, so I must conclude you are a dumb person letting his latent racism to take over or you are aware you are acting on bad faith and you just dont care.
