Similar story here; they weren't recruiting but showed lots of interest in a certain device an eventually bought the thing, while we have no idea what on earth they are planning to do with it and they of course wouldn't tell.

So it seems that behind closed doors they are reseraching a lot of different areas, trying to figure out which one to explore/exploit. That sounds logical, Microsoft/Google/... do the same, but funnily enough I never looked at Apple that way - I always only saw the shiny end products. Must be their marketing.

Increased consumption does lead to higher levels of cholesterol, but the link between high levels of cholesterol and heart disease is (at this point) questionable.

Most of the studies about the latter link have been done around the time when scientists did not distinguish between HDL and LDL, and currently the scientific status quo progressed towards recognizing two sub-types of LDL - big fluffy one (harmless) and tiny one (plaque-forming and dangerous). As there's no good way to measure fluffy vs tiny LDL, there's no good studies on it either.

The book "Good Calories, Bad Calories" provides a good overview.
There is a difference between "being as simple as required to reliably function" and "being as simple as possible".

False activations of things like alarms are dangerous because it conditions people to ignore the alarm or react slowly.
In the (democratic) Weimar Republic, the authorities collected "pink lists" naming homosexuals. Homosexuality was technically illegal, but not prosecuted, and in fact, the Weimar Republic was known for its tolerance.

When the Nazis came to power, they used those previously obtained lists to round up the homosexuals and send them to death camps. A lesson that privacy matters even if you think your current government and/or its use of data is benign.

Hey nickreese;

the data is way off. not onlt is basing it on zip not sufficient; but the data is not consistant with actual provider data. I put in my zip; was told I have WAVE as a provider in the area. 'thats news to me' so I go to wave and enter my zip. 'yup; they aren't in my area'

I think you need more accurate data before you can put 39mil in your title! the situation is _much_ worst!

And in the "pedantic++" category: check out flag proportions, too. See for example https://flagspot.net/flags/nl-lu.html, which explains the difference between the flags of Monaco and Indonesia (buried in a discussion about the flags of the Netherlands and Luxembourg): same colors, but different proportions.

So, Belgium should be 13:15 (https://flagspot.net/flags/be.html, for US flags 10:19 seems best for all uses (https://flagspot.net/flags/us-size.html#prop), etc.

Why? Precisely because of this: there are lots of perfectly legitimate situations when a third party sends email on your behalf.

Moreover, if LinkedIn signs their outgoing emails with DKIM, that would be a positive signal for a spam filter (and e.g. Gmail would show such mail as "sent via LinkedIn" or something to that effect).
I can not believe someone went out of their way to put a spoken "Can not be hushed" response into those things.

> I started rebuilding my life overseas

Doesn't Bunnie now live in Singapore, not exactly a place known for freedom and empathy for the common man? What does he mean rebuilding his life?
Sorry, we are getting off track here. I apologize for my tone if it aggrieves you. It is obvious we have different values and considerations. No-one is a true scotsman I suppose :)

As I stated the main value proposition of LinkedIn for me is that most of my connections are there.

Replacing the said connections would require work and time, which I would rather spend on other things. The problem with an email list is that there is no automatic update if the email address changes. Therefore, changing to a email list would lead to a poorer result for me.

I prefer introversion to extroversion. Going out to meetings would therefore be a) mentally exhausting b) take time. The former is doable but the latter is really hard to come by with a 9-5 job and kids.

Now, as to the proposition of spending my energies trying to invent an open competitor to LinkedIn... Building communities takes a huge effort and seems to happen mostly by chance. Also, while being a technology professional my core skillset is in CAD and maths and I'm clueless when it comes to web technologies.

So, in order to do a fancy LinkedIn replacement would require a) time to improve on my web skills, which is really wasteful considering lots of people are good at it already, b) create the product c) move all my dear colleagues to the new network.

The last parts are actually the hardest, I have no idea how to build social sites or how to motivate people.

So, to rephrase why I use LinkedIn: It currently provides me value, and I do not see sufficient benefit to spend time changing mine and my colleagues habits when it comes to networking. Most things in life are morally ambiguous and all one can do is to try to do more good than harm within ones limits. Sometimes all an individual can do is go with the flow.

People have different internal motivations. Mine run completely against social things. I prefer to twiddle on algorithms, draw, play the guitar and play with my kids. I use the social frameworks that exist because I see the value they provide but have no energy to change them nor am I motivated to design alternatives to them.

Yeah, middle age, definetly :)

Most peoples are not motivated by ambiguous "this is evil because..." arguments. Most behavioural changes are best driven by positive motivators - one cannot drive people away from anything by saying "the thing is evil". Eating meat is evil and still people do it, including me. What needs to be done is to provide better alternatives that wean people away from option a) (the evil) to option b) over time.

I don't see why a time crunch is an appropriate reason to ask for help. As a junior, there's little responsibility you have to assume w.r.t. the success of the project. If it fails for some reason that may be related to you, you were probably poorly managed. A competent boss would notice that you struggle and give your task to someone else in order to meet deadlines.

Hi there, this is James.

Whenever I skim through a book that I've read a couple of months ago, I realise that I can barely remember it.
Same thing happens for blog posts, presentations and even movies.

- Does it also happen to you?
If your answer is yes please keep reading.

I am currently building an online application to help people improve their learning abilities up to such a point that they could easily remember what they learned in the previous weeks, months and years.

Currently the product is in early beta stage and will only be available to a small group of people(no more than 20). I am looking for people who would like to be one of the first users to get involved and give some feedback.

If you are a self-learner who enjoys learning new stuff please feel free to fill the Contact Form and we'll be in touch shortly.

The difference between your example and the Weather/Climate example is that coin tosses are based on a mathematically random premise, climate change assumptions are based on giant, complex models with a large number of subjective inputs, many of which can trigger significant or subtle changes in outputs.

A climate model is not proof and can not (yet?) be reasoned about mathematically.
That doesn't have anything to do with my argument, which describes a scenario in which there is a user who took some program and adapted it to suit his or her needs, running on his or her own equipment.

In this situation, the program has additional users. However, they equipment doesn't belong to them. They are only visitors to someone else's private property. Even if they had the source to the modifications, they would not be able to make further modifications and put them into effect on your server, since they don't have administrative access.

There is no run around the GPL; the GPL is simply not applicable. It can't give people the right to tinker with your private property.

Never mind not having the GPL-granted rights: if the users are getting a free service, they don't even have any right to expect that it will continue. Tomorrow you might pull the plug on the server (perhaps forced to, due to economics) and that's that.

The issue here isn't whether or not there is a GPL violation. There clearly isn't; the GPL simply isn't applicable.

The issue here is that gullible users make uninformed choices such that they throw away freedoms. The "takes away your freedom" rhetoric therefore rings untrue. That's like saying a contract that you irresponsibly signed without reading it has "taken" your freedom away. Where is the personal accountability?

The only genuine freedom-related problem is that widespread use of anything creates pressure on people to become users, simply in order to interoperate with the majority. The naive lemmings who unknowingly give up their rights create pressure on others to knowingly do so. I certainly don't want to be coerced into signing up for some SaaS just because it has turned into the only way of doing business.
Here's an example [0] where Googles showed they preferred their ICU implementation over system, in effect, remaining self-sufficient & neutral of the embedder's concern. And as an independent embedder with a non-public project (as of yet), I prefer that neutrality.

For other embedders, however, like TeaJS, SilkJS, v8-juice/cvv8, narwahlJS, this was probably their undoing, at least in my opinion. Stephen Beal considered it lack of documentation & support [1]. I have seen a concerted effort over the past 12 months to improve that.

Sounds like you know more about this than I do. I will defer to your greater knowledge.

Although "there are lots of perfectly legitimate situations when a third party sends email on your behalf" strikes me as being rather wrong. I cannot think of a single reason why anyone else should be sending email that claims to be coming from my email address. Sending email that lists me as a reply-to, sure. But as the sender? Not a chance.
The thing with rockstars is that they typically don't need the help, and can figure things out eventually. It's not because they've got some ideal that they're trying to fit into that says "real rockstars don't ask for help" because that's totally maladaptive. Rockstars get shit done and don't care what they have to do to get there. And sometimes that means asking for help.

I thought LinkedIn has always marketed itself as a professional networking service and thus perceived it as public area open to corporate scrutiny... it's not healthy to mix "social" with "professional" in situtations dealing with corporate employers.
Not sure what you mean by a new classification approach. There is no classification here, since there are no labeled documents. This is purely unsupervised topic modelling. The topics are mathematical objects. How they are later named or grouped for better human readability is a subjective matter.

Some of my friends who develop for android say that API's and functionality can sometimes just get dropped from version to version especially in things the Nexus. Without warning. To the extent that there are threads with 100/1000's of developer woes going to deaf years wrt un-planned degradations/api changes/ and deprecations. Bugs/defects leading to phones getting bricked are also not un-common.

Apple api's and documentation and deprecation - are more deliberate. and gives me more confidence that i won't end up with a bricked phone.

tldr; i'd still trust an apple EV over a google/android one.

> Experienced purchasing professional select items we currently hold as inventory and purchase any missing items to make each gift unique if needed.

You need to push inventory back to the suppliers but centralize the location where suppliers store their inventory.

You need suppliers who hold their inventory at single location/platform. Which platform has the highest number of suppliers storing their inventory? Amazon.

Another option, make agreement with a warehouse service provider where suppliers can store their inventory for you as well as suppliers' other customers. You can make agreement with warehouse service provider to discount inventory storage fees for your suppliers to encourage suppliers to switch warehouse and shipping service provider. Offer suppliers discount on warehouse storage fees in proportional to the inventory you use from them.

Find a warehouse service provider that also does shipping.

Now what left for you on logistics side to monitor the suppliers' inventory and mix-match products available in their inventory to create gift box before placing order and get warehouse service to ship the box.

You challenge will be to find a warehouse service provider and find incentives for suppliers to use warehouse service provider specified by you.

>Non sequitur. African Americans are a protected class, so paying them less is against Federal law.

But, you have no moral issue with such practices?

Being restrained only by the limits of federal law is essentially a sociopathic value system. Bigoted behavior didn't become wrong because of various legislative changes in the 60s. It was already wrong, as is systematically underpaying former criminals who have already served their time.

It's also worth pointing out that this country imprisons millions of non-violent offenders, and those people are disproportionately likely to be black and male.

"Might is right" pretty much sums up the global legal infrastructure everywhere. USA is not party to some special case here, I think all hacking activity should be high risk for the individual(because all hacking is not ethical) and it is right that the law protect citizens from the unethical hackers that are able to affect us all in bad ways. For every Robin Hood there are many more who just don't care. I do think that hacking is required, simply as a check and balance against large institutions - but as an established practice like journalism, which is subject to special legal cases.

As with drug misuse, the penalty for me is the issue here. It's a lack of understanding about the causes or reasons behind the crime, a blunt response. Rethink or reduce the penalties and the practice becomes more attractive to people prepared to take the risk, for the right reasons.

This is a moral issue that will only become more complex, but embattling the issue into camps of the individual against the corporation will only serve the legal industry, not society at large.
Well, the BSD and MIT licenses are named after institutions that are in the US of A. Many popular software licenses are American, and are based in American legal doctrine.

Liability related to something which was "free" makes a certain amount of sense. Something given away from free could be harmful. Just because the giver didn't take compensation doesn't mean it's not their fault.

Basically, when you give something for free, you're implicitly making a representation that the thing is good. If you don't make any disclaimers, then that representation is all there is. And so if that something you gave away causes harm, your representation now looks like a misrepresentation: you tricked someone into being harmed by your gift.

That's what I think is the general idea.

If your country doesn't have this sort of concept among its legal doctrines and statutes, that's kind of bad!
