Somehow the part about privacy seems to refer to a 'special' form of privacy... look at FF hello:

Mozilla about FF Hello [1]: "Firefox Hello is provided to you in collaboration with TokBox, Inc. ("TokBox") and sends data to TokBox as a part of the function of the service."

Please try to contact Mozilla and tell me who these 'trusted business partners' are. I tried and did not get anywhere...

I am a former customer of Telefonica and they sure tried very hard to appear as a 'will mug you for money' type of company.

Vigorous aerobic exercise does wonders for your mood and it doesn't have to be that long. Half an hour will do the trick. Make sure you raise your HR to above 80% of your HRmax. This does wonders for your brain, it makes it produce BDNF, which helps you learn and retain memories better too, and improves your mood.

I know it can be really hard to make yourself do it, esp. when you feel down, but after you are done, you will be asking yourself what were you objecting to in the first place.

If you want to learn more about the link between exercise and brain health read "Brain Rules" by Dr. John Medina or watch his Google talk by the same name:

He also has "Baby Brain Rules" on parenting techniques to help your new baby get a good start (some of the stuff you need to do way before you even get pregnant/decide to have a child).
They aren't in that bad of a position. They already have $8.3 million. http://techcrunch.com/2015/02/18/reddit-charity/#.nwugnp:l4S... It's just a matter of growing the community and not pissing them off too much when they are able to successfully do so.
Ellen Pao resigned under intense pressure from the site's users. There was a petition with 250,000 signatures calling for her resignation, and a board which (according to media reports) was essentially letting her take the blame for unpopular decisions she had not made.

Her position was therefore untenable, even ignoring the vile racism and misogyny directed her way by the worst of the reddit community.
Competition breeds innovation. Yes, we are one planet and one species, but our species is Human and we have an innate nature to compete!
Break the thing you want to learn into the smallest possible pieces, and set mini-goals of mastering each one.

The fastest way to learn, say, Python, isn't to read a Python book as fast as possible. It's a lot of little steps in the form of "be able to write an if statement without referencing the documentation."
A factor in any antitrust analysis is barriers to entry for new competition. In this case, those barriers are extremely low. How much effort does it take to whip up a dating site/app? Not very much. So even if IAC were to own nearly all existing dating sites (and thus in theory charging monopoly prices for date finding), 5 other people could start up competitors to undercut them on price in the next month without much trouble.

Weight lifting is rarely a sustained form of heightened heart activity in the way the other examples are. Yes it works your heart, but there are usually many relatively motionless pauses between short sets, as opposed to the constant push on your heart that accompanies more traditional forms of cardio work. Not a knock against weight lifting, just emphasizing a different type of heart activity.

From the outside it looked more like Ellen was focused on improving the monetization prospects rather than focusing on growth. In particular, placing limits on abusive content and users would make the site more attractive to advertisers.

Firing Victoria fit the same motive -- monetize the most popular product (AMAs). Reddit leadership wanted to explore ways to monetize that feature, and for some undisclosed reason Victoria didn't fit with that plan.

The return of Huffman signals a shift back to the Cult of Growth, in the hopes that investors won't worry as much about monetization so long as the site is growing. One thing the board won't settle for is neither growth nor profitability.
Do you realize that most of our trade treaties enact domestic law right? According to the current interpretation of article II, section 2, clause 2 the treaties are essentially a manifestation of domestic law (as was NAFTA, for example.) Where you are incorrect is in the assumption that it cannot be repealed. In fact, it is easier to get out of them than it is to approve them: congress can pass laws that repeal any aspects of the treaty (and no, a treaty cannot prevent a future congress from such action -- no act of congress is in any way binding on future congresses and only a change to the constitution would allow for such a restriction), the supreme court could declare any or all of a treaty as unconstitutional, or a future president can just declare that the US is no longer party to a treaty. The latter bit is still somewhat untested, but in cases where it has been used by sitting presidents it has not been successfully appealed.
"The costs of untreated sleep apnea reach further than just health issues. It is estimated that in the U.S. the average untreated sleep apnea patient's annual health care costs $1,336 more than an individual without sleep apnea. This may cause $3.4 billion/year in additional medical costs. Whether medical cost savings occur with treatment of sleep apnea remains to be determined."[1]

So if it turns out that this treatment of sleep apnea can offset those increased healthcare costs, I could definitely see insurance companies being interested.

Hey there!
Thanks for the feedback it's very helpful. Sorry for the confusion, I am working to make sure things are as clear as possible. The hits and popup are to demo the smart engagement feature based upon certain actions. In a normal case the popup would only appear after an employer looks at the resume XX times. I will work to make the demo easier to understand and if you are interested I would love for you take a look again after I make the updates. The signup is for a free a.i. RESUME and I use mailchimp to manage those who sign up.
Have an excellent day and thanks again!

I think you're falling victim to confirmation bias. I've seen lots of talk about ESA in relation to Rosetta, with a lot of pictures of ground crews cheering.
The media seems to like the gender war angle - the cynic in me wonders how many news stories have been written about the male employees who have left.
What you seem to miss is that Americans chanting "USA" is so frequent and so common even in situations that wouldn't be considered to warrant any nationalism by anyone else that it's a point of ridicule by anyone else.

Are you talking about CIA games dating back to something like 70 years ago, during the cold war, to fight against USSR influence ?
I don't think it's that relevant, unless you're willing to accept every pretext told by Iran.

The first consequence of having the nuclear bomb would not be for the Iran/US relationship, it will be local for the region. It'll mean that Iran will have an even bigger local military influence, knowing that no one will be able to attack them on their territory. Aka a highway to a full war between shiites and sunnites (which are probably starting their own nuclear program right at the moment).

Hearing the declaration of Iranien leader with respect to their neighbors, and seeing what's happening right now in Yemen, i wouldn't be surprised to see a new country vs country war coming in the next 5 years.
Thanks so much I will fix it!

There is a mission study which says it's feasible to orbit Pluto. http://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/doc/PRO/ACT-RPR-PRO-ISTS2004-Plut... . It requires 4 RTGs, nuclear electric propulsion, and 18 years of travel time.

You might be dead by the time that actually happens, so better to be killed by sorrow of only getting fly-by data than the agony of having only what Hubble and its successors can resolve.

I would venture a guess too that the AMA platform may start having sponsored content or there was some element in the shake up regarding that and people not wanting to take money for AMA's.

When you see celebs and other note worthy folks on there, they casually mention they have a new movie|book|thing coming out and they're there to AMA.

But as a PR tool, AMA can only go so far. How many rounds of anonymous internet questions can someone field before the audience exhausts anything interesting?
So, a few things here that I've discovered in my own fight against this kind of lethargy & depression.

1. Eat food. Eat good, healthy food on a regular schedule. The willpower center of your brain takes a LOT of calories to run, and if you don't fuel it, you'll find yourself paralyzed by laziness. Make sure the calories you ingest are solid ones - protien, fat, sugar. Not HFCS or other forms of fructose, since it messes with your insulin and makes you feel full even when you aren't.

2) If you are male, check your orgasm and pron consumption. For myself, if I've orgasmed in the last three days, I get a kind of empty, grey fuzz feeling that feels a lot like depression. As someone who's fought mild depression, one of the best ways for me has been to regulate my sexuality and orgasm only when I know I don't need to do anything the next day. Track your energy and your sex drive, and see if there's a correlation - I bet the results will speak for themselves.

3) Sleep on a schedule. Caffeine doesn't count. It's painful and it takes willpower and it sucks but that's life. I solved this one by getting married to a woman who keeps a very strict sleep schedule (ymmv :P )

4) Organize your time. Follow pomodoro or a one hour on-one hour off time. If you find yourself "half-working" (sitting at your computer pretending to work but really browsing HN and Reddit). Get up. Go outside. Walking and standing are good for your health and your creativity.

5) Find a friend or partner who energizes you. Someone who you can hang out with and have crazy ideas and good conversation. If you don't have someone like this, start by making acquaintances at a local club or meetup.

6) Rest. Understand that recuperating your strength for a day isn't going to wreck your chances at becoming the next great startup CEO. It's okay to give yourself a break, before you break.

Hope this helps :)

Aren't those pauses usually people standing around trying to catch their breath, with their pulses coming down from the 180 they hit while doing a set?

Isn't weight lifting more like doing a 40m sprint, then slowly walking back to do it again?
"was one of the most appalling, jingoistic, alienating spectacles I've ever seen." If no one died, then that is demonstrably not true.
So, now if you have a user who doesn't want a "read later" service, they have to take the extra steps to disable the button and go into about:config to completely turn it off.

Actually the user would do absolutely nothing, and presto, no read-later service. You have to create an account with Pocket before you even have the option of saving anything.
Disclaimer: I am affiliated with Mozilla. I am not a Mozilla employee. I also care very little about the Pocket situation.

Pocket was massively mishandled. You should have seen it coming from a mile away. And when you didn't and it happened anyway, you should have backtracked a lot faster and released a public statement.

And damn it, priorities. You talk about partnerships creating opportunities etc; you have plenty of opportunities already. How about Persona, for example? How come it got moved to community support and got sod all marketing behind it, despite being a technology the open web direly needs and Mozilla being one of the only entities that can pull it off? The tech is good, too! Where's that commitment to the open web now?

How many people were complaining about their bookmark management before Pocket was introduced? Was it ever an area of firefox that needed dire improvements? Not since sync was introduced.

You have nobody to blame but yourselves. Users are hostile to change by default, you have to be able to back up the change with solid reasoning, and you have to be able to sell it to anyone who doesn't actually read what you say. You should have known better; don't be surprised about the hostile reaction now.
There's an article in the May issue of Monocle about the luxury fashion market in Iran. There's a vibrantly growing middle class and a surge of interest in luxury clothing and goods. However due to politics, major brands are kept out, and the stock is seasons behind and has to come through non official channels.

I can imagine business interests looking at the huge middle class market in Iran and putting pressure on governments to change the approach and open up the market to the west.

Neither of those is a good choice. The custom Firefox-only would be a waste of developer resources. Similarly, picking a winner is also a waste of developer resources: there were already extensions that had far more functionality. Firefox should have added a more general "Experience Enhancements" feature that suggested great features that could be enabled and offered a few options. This same concept of periodically offering enhancements to users could be presented periodically and offer any number of things over time.

My complaint is the Mozilla folks missed a more general, better capability they could have built.
Go for a walk. When not enough energy for that, draw something, create something, that takes no huge mental effort, just a wandering mind.

Given the ongoing narrative of a push for growth, the sacking of Victoria Taylor seems like even more of a bungle to me.

Last I heard the AMA mods are going it alone without admin support. The mods themselves previously said that the subreddit couldn't continue as it was without this support. Even if it somehow does, that leaves probably THE biggest growth tool at their disposal in the hand of unaffiliated volunteers.

If it flounders or doesn't operate as smoothly as they need, whats the next step? Try and reintegrate into the mods workflow?

Or worst case scenario, take over the subreddit entirely, which would be a massive change for the community in some ways, to have a major subreddit being run by employees.

Both Ellen Pao and Bethanye Blount mentioned the demand of growth, I just can not see a way the fallout from Victoria can be managed from this point towards that goal. Seems like such a colossal mismanagement, unless AMA's aren't part of their strategy, or they're planning on really shaking up the user/mod/admin dynamic.
Lifting doesn't burn the muscle mass though.

You know how good tech companies feel like they're run by engineers and not MBA's? You get the strong sense from these charts that Disney was run by artists and not MBA's. Any other company at the time wouldn't stand for the frivolity of doodling cartoon characters on this kind of document, and even today it would come across as forced, but it comes across as genuine here. It's even lettered like a cartoon. Companies always feel more "real" when the people running them can also do the actual work. Could you imagine Bob Iger or Michael Eisner doodling a cartoon like this to explain their business strategies?
"Sometimes" not always.
The thing with autonomous ride sharing though, is that the car has to make it from its last stop to your home on its own. And there's any number of scenarios that can happen on its way... a traffic light could lose power and turn into a 4-way stop, for instance. Or a big event at a large venue where hundreds or thousands of pedestrians are crossing the street and you kinda have to inch forward and wait for some of them to wave you on to go forward (basically everybody jaywalks at that point.)

There's a million different 0.01% scenarios that could happen, and if you ramp the usage of a really really good autonomous car up to scale, you'll see them every day. Unless it can handle all of them without intervention, you simply can't ditch the driver, or you'd face huge PR nightmares when you either hit a pedestrian or you block an intersection and cause huge traffic in a major metropolitan area ("Mayor bans autonomous cars due to one too many gridlocks caused by them", etc.)

I really think it's down to the PR issues and the fact that one too many mistakes can really kill the idea, that companies will be cautious to just not need a driver altogether. And for autonomous ride sharing, you must be able to do nearly half your miles without a driver. Hence why that last .01% is still crucial.
So the main idea is to cross-promote the same IP (e.g. Mickey Mouse) in many different media (films, TV, music, comics, books, merchandise, Disneyland). Kinda like superhero media today.

I'll posit Occam's Razor here and say that it is likely just children being children. From what I have seen on the /r/subredditdrama board they really are just sniping each other. It's like Mean Girls and these people really need to get out more. I have not seen this level of immaturity in a long time.

However, my BS klaxon is screaming. These are major players in a top 25 website. They should be more cautious, or have people around them that will urge them to be more cautions (like some 'Memento Mori' roman serf). I feel they should know better; it all seems TOO childish. So, possibly there is an angle being worked here we are not privy to see as of yet. This one is going to take a few months to play out, but not before Halloween I figure.
