As a notorious womanizer, this app enrages me. I will have no choice now but to become a caring, sensitive, one-woman man. Damn you Lulu!!!
Imagine you were going to go out on a date with a new woman and you knew there was a "review" of her online that you could download for free in 10 seconds.

Would you not be tempted to at least look? I mean you know it's just superficial crap, but you might have a look; just for laughs of course..

Or you meet a new girl out somewhere and get her phone number, then your buddy comes to you and says "haha, dude that chick you met.. says here she gives a terrible blowjob! LOL!"

I mean, you'd like to think that stuff wouldn't colour your judgement at all..
Of course, up until now my experience has been something along the lines of... first I completed Chris Pines learn to program and all of the exercises on Codeacademy. Next, I read the book, Beginning Ruby from Novice to Professional and completed some other online exercises such as the Ruby Monk problems. Most of the preparation I was doing at the time was to get ready for my interview to App Academy so, I also completed their prepwork which consisted of some TDD problems and an event planner from Jumpstart Labs.

Unfortunately I didn't do so great in the interview for App Academy and was rejected, which was last week, however following my interview I decided I would just set my mind to actually trying to build something to begin the process of teaching myself!

Hope this helps
Business model? Is that the thing where you have "revenues" and "profits" that only scare away potential acquirers by being measurable?

I don't see why anyone would want such a "business model".
The problem is that:

1) Software echo cancellation doesn't work as well as hardware echo cancellation.

2) The phone uses a second microphone to cancel out background noise during calls. This isn't used for any voip calls. I'm told it is extremely loud when a car drives by, and a little bit of wind make it sound like I'm in a hurricane.

Is there some hardware reason they can't open up access to this chip? Does audio for calls get routed directly to the gsm chip, so we don't have access or something?
You've hit the nail on the head -- thats precisely the way to do it.
As a man, at least here in north America. You're expected to have a thick skin, to not care if someone has a better lot, and to more or less take what you want (so long as it's not immoral to do so). There are quiet a few men who don't fit this bill, but I have to ask: What's so bad about these expectations?

If these expectations remain, what possible social change could occur that would put our "brutish" gender in the crapper? As long as that cultural push exists to be stoic, strong, tough, and to go for what they want, then our male culture is ingrained to be immune to a social upheaval. It's a good way to live if you ask me.

My recommendation is to not care.

I do not care.

I hope the girls have fun on LuLu.

Now if the girls want to change their cultural expectations to make their lives better? Sounds great! I don't care.

I'm amazed at the kinds of apps which exist and get exposure. This is stuff which might have been fun in high school, but there are actual adults using this.

Not to mention the insane double standard. I'd love to see a man make a similar app for rating women this way. I'm sure there would be news reports and tons of angry feminists flooding the airwaves.

> is that one should first try to con the opposing party unless they're in on the game

I don't say the should, but they always try to do if they think they can get away with it! Now, "con" is a relative term, and I don't say you should "walk away right there", no f way! But if you show them that you too have "gaming" skills to match their league, some will just drop the game and go to a "fair compromise" mode, which is the mode I like doing business in. What I call a "pro gamer" is someone that will never drop out of the gaming mode (or at least drop to "lower gaming mode" where it's obvious we're looking for a compromise that works well enough for both side although nobody really "wins") either because they are better than most others at "gaming" and they know it, or because they just enjoy gaming for gaming's sake...
Men as a sex have had advantageous circumstances and treatment for a long time, yes. That has absolutely nothing to do with men who are alive today.

Perhaps you're a male who's OK with being the subject of discriminatory treatment over centuries of gain you didn't get to live through. I'm not, and I don't think anyone should be. Unless two wrongs make a right, discriminating against people who have not been a party to the kind of discrimination you're talking about helps no one, it just alienates those who see our position clearly.

Right here. Pissed off that this app exists. But recognizing that it's a lower priority than a heck of a lot of other things in our society. (I've got a top level post going into this in more detail.) Opposing this type of service looks to me like a classic part of feminism, no question.

If you have specific evidence that "the feminists" do not oppose this sort of thing, now would be a great time to share.
PHP development- Tips to be remembered
What about a girl who is acquaintances with a gossip girl who uses the app and searches for guy's they're dating, and lets them know about whatever is mentioned on there?
The effects of male and female versions of this application would not be the same. Different subjects, in various senses of the word.

And you don't have to imagine that alternative scenario. It's how men generally treat women.
Speculation: we're part of the general economy. Corporations and wealthy individuals are getting better at keeping more of the money they make, partly by hiring less of the general population, partly by government tax breaks, and partly by offshoring their cash.

That leaves a smaller slice of the pie to be directly shared with us and the general population, and it also means that less money is circulating through the economy. Less money, less Slurpies consumed, less Slurpies sold, fewer jobs and smaller salaries, less demand for everything. I think.

Guys don’t see what the girls see. We let them select their relationship status and profile picture and we encourage them to get their “fan base” to review them.

Lulu Dude is also a place for guys to get self-improvement tips. Think of Lulu Dude as Cosmo for guys."

"Taboo" derives from the Polynesian (Māori or Tongan) "tabu" systems of social control. Wikipedia has a decent overview.
The unfortunate part of all of this is it could potentially perpetuate the negativs this has on relationship building, and on society as a whole. If people were on there to verify information or maybe even offer counseling of sorts to help people get through resentment, anger, jealousy, etc. then it'd be helpful - but I don't imagine anyone would use that app for that. I wonder even if any of my female friends would come forward to say contrary to what the herd is saying for fear of being ridiculed, etc..

"There's no correct amount of sleep, says Prof Kevin Morgan, of Loughborough University's sleep research centre. The only rule is to sleep long enough to feel refreshed when you wake up."

^That answers the question quite well I believe. Yes, people CAN, but it is uncommon. And anything that is uncommon usually takes a considerable amount of practice. Ms. Thatcher most likely made it a concerted goal to train her self to be fully functional on just 4 hours of sleep over the weekdays. It is stated that she most likely slept longer on weekends, indicating that she was aware of her sleep schedule on weekdays vs. weekends.

Things like sleep are studied so much that it is a subject overly-saturated with studies, and that too, conflicting ones. This, more than anything, shows that one's need for sleep can be controlled by him/her. I had a friend in college, he was a junior when I was a freshman. He slept through most of his morning classes and would always tweet that he was napping in the evening. He had amazing grades, though, and good enough interview skills to land him a job as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and he would be working in their most demanding team. In fact, his boss to-be even emailed him saying something like "Make sleep an option, not a requirement". Mike (my friend) took it literally.

From the day he got that email in March, he chose to sleep 7 minutes less every 3 days with no naps. By the end of April, he was sleeping about 5.5 hours a night. For the next month, he got even crazier and took off minutes from his sleep on a daily basis. He succeeded and by the time he was at GS, he needed 2hrs 52minutes of sleep per night and was productive the rest. How do I know he was productive? Because after his internship, he was given a personalized offer letter...from the CEO. He had worked on more deals than not only all interns across the world, but more than 98% of current employees.

Training our body is something we can do and just like anything, if you work hard at it, you'll more than likely be successful at some point.

Humans Invent has been given a rare opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes at McLaren HQ. Once you’ve finished gawping at the selection of past racing cars, including Jenson Button’s F1 car, dotted around the main hall, you begin to realise how precise and obsessively clean everything is, so much so that I started to look in earnest for any dirt or blemishes on the floor tiles and found only my reflection. The place is also unnervingly quiet. Uniformed, trainer-clad employees move purposefully through the building without making a sound.

The Network Rail is what we've got already - BT Openreach provides the infrastructure, which is resold by myriad companies who have access on equal terms. The problem is that Openreach has no universal service commitment. Their customers are the ISPs, not end-users.

We've had nationalisation and it was a complete shambles. BT had no interest whatsoever in providing Broadband until Telewest came along. You couldn't even buy your own phone or answering machine until 1982 - before then, only a BT engineer was allowed to connect equipment to their network.

The straightforward solution is simply to offer a grant or tax credit to any company that provides the first high-speed connection to a house. Progressively increase the subsidy over a number of months or years to create a Dutch auction between BT, Virgin and whoever else throws their hat in the ring. This would progressively push up the LTV of customers relative to the cost of acquisition, creating the maximum number of connections at the minimum cost to the treasury.

...but there's no hypocrisy in those same people being less upset about it than about similar treatment of women.

You clearly believe this, but that's what it is, your belief. I disagree; women may have "much farther to go," but that doesn't mean this is somehow intrinsically less important to people who really do support equality.

There is nothing wrong with establishing your own priorities. Calling this a lower one with the justification that you are more concerned about women's issues, instead of issues of sexual equality as a whole, would have been more honest. Less benevolent, but then nobody's perfect: Better to be clearly flawed, like the rest of us, than to fabricate some sort of intrinsic dominance where a true egalitarian would find none.
As I said to the previous poster, if you have a shred of evidence that "the feminists" consider this app to be acceptable (not just "less bad"), you should share it now.

If you don't, then you might want to pause for a few minutes and seriously ask yourself why you said what you did. Because from my experience, opposing a service like this is a core value of feminism. (It may not be seen as a top priority, but that's a radically different statement.)

As others point out, nuclear bombs do not spontaneously go off. If they were that easy to accidentally trigger, building them would be no big deal and we wouldn't be talking about nuclear vs. non-nuclear countries to this day.

Furthermore, everything is space is already a weapon. The very act of being in space and not falling back to Earth means you are loaded up with enough kinetic energy to be going several miles per second. You don't need nuclear bombs to be a weapon in space, a bucket of sand is a deadly weapon. Militarization of space refers to things other than merely putting "big bombs" in space, where they are surprisingly useless. (Even the EMP is less useful than you'd think; space is already a sea of radiation so everything up there is already hardened against it.)

Query: why are 80% of men homeless. That stat on it's own is not indicative of disadvantage towards men. There needs to be some analysis of the why to determine that.

Quey: how does the suicide give women an "uppper hand" this is a personal choice, and doesn't seem to be about gender equality at all. Sure you could say "men are more pressured..." but you could also say "women aren't empowered to make decisions about their body and don't see it as viable". Again: how does the stat show an upper hand?

About dating: I don't think you can declare women have the "upper hand". At best they have an "even hand". Sure there are pretty girls that get an absurde level of "power of choice", but there are plenty of men in the same category. Similarly when the traditional "men approach" role is taken, women are stuck with what comes their way. Putting it another way: in my experience the problems women experience in dating are the same as the problems men experience: shitty candidates, lots of fear of rejection, insecurity and incompatability issues. Leading to:

Query: how do women have the upper hand in dating in your mind?
CrunchWeek: Facebook Home Madness
> The point was not "Nobody will ever beat Google search no matter how much time passes."

Well then I apologize--that's how I read it.

In terms of how Google might "lose", the real issue is their ad revenue growth, and I'll give an example. My employer (a nonprofit) runs online ad campaigns to raise awareness on issues. We used to spend a lot with Google; these days almost all the money goes to a combination of Facebook, Twitter, Outbrain, and Taboola. Every one of those performs more efficiently than Google.

Google could get beat like Microsoft got beat--not destroyed, but not setting the agenda either. It used to be that Microsoft could just buy or leverage their way into markets if they missed the boat early. They did it with databases, with business accounting, with the browser, with mobile (the first time around). They can't do that anymore.

Google is buying their way into the ISP market...they may not always be able to do that, even if they maintain a solid search market share.
Hoogle is down
Most of the time I do the whole get 4-5 hours of sleep. In fact, last night I went to bed at 3:30am and woke up at 6:00. I did have an hour nap during the day though. I normally like to go to bed earlier (12) and wake up earlier (4:30-5). I find my self a lot more productive early in the morning rather than late at night.

For me, it's not about "get 25% more done". It's more about being able to still spend time with family when I need too and get work done while everyone else is still asleep. It's very much a work life balance tool for me. I can't go weeks on 4 hours though. If I do 4 hours consistently in about 10 days I crash and need a full 8 hours for a day or two.

Completely agreed. Code I wrote with 6 months of programming experience has saved companies millions of dollars by reducing work that required ~10 expensive people to requiring ~1 cheap person. A real developer could probably further reduce that 1 to 0, but examples like these show that even basic automation skills can contribute huge amounts of value.
