Ironically, that series is one of the cultural artifacts of the late-90s that fueled the growth of e-commerce. I remember ordering a copy of the first Harry Potter book from Amazon just for the novelty of shopping online.

LinkedIn was always a recruiting/contacts database disguised as a social platform. So while their UI was never great, the new UI is particularly horrendous (and surprisingly, its performance seems pretty poor too.)

OP: you may want to post this to /r/musictheory on Reddit. I have a feeling it will be appreciated by the music geeks there. That said, it is fantastic.

Some good suggestions in the thread, but I hope you are an avid reader of the genre you wish to work in? Good writers have to be keen, discerning readers.

J.D. Salinger, Harper Lee, Margaret Mitchell, John Kennedy Toole - these are just some of the great novelists who found massive success at their debut and simply couldn't repeat it.

> So presumably the purpose of this experiment was to quantify just how bad algorithms can be at inferring meaning? That's a bit harsh, but I agree. Words & music are both key to understanding a song's "mood". Onl

Thanks - will certainly have another go at it.

While your premise is indeed sound - and let me say I'm not taking away any credit for what you and your team have built - but we did evaluate Usetrace last year and found several basic issues. The system simply wouldn't record se

I work in that very field, so I hope this input will be useful to you: There's no one thing called "SAP" anymore. It's many platforms, ranging from the old ERP (with its ABAP programming language) to CRM to HR to E-comme

The titular poem is so quintessentially Neruda. Thanks for sharing this article.

Community moderation is no joke, but the gold standard for sustaining an incredibly civil, intelligent community is probably Metafilter. Then again, their size is tiny fraction of Twitter's or Reddit's.

I use google keep for this. "Read" book-lists, "to read" book-lists, pictures of book covers that I want to buy etc.

> deny the substantial character of reality It's a popular belief but neither Zen nor Theravadan Buddhism makes any claims about "Reality". They only talk about the lack of a substantial self. (After all, the only "re

Re "samsara", I am sure you know that in the Hindu/Buddhist sense it is more than just the physical samsara, whereas idleness necessarily refers to inaction. By avoiding action and therefore responsibility, one could still be

The author conflates procrastination, idleness and perfectionism, as if they were interchangeable. I would argue that they are not, even if they appear to be similar, at the surface. While perfectionism CAN sometimes lead to procrastination

A slightly different model, but Meetup.com lets you do this for free.

Thank you. So what you are saying is, the psychs view the workplace issues as exacerbating factors.

Serious question: how would a psychiatrist distinguish "workplace depression" from your garden-variety depression that strikes people outside the workplace?

Spot on analysis. WMT is really doing a talent acquisition here. Jet.com differentiated itself from AMZN through concepts like "happier work culture", which, given WMT's reputation, is rich in irony.

An absolute game-changer of an album. One can argue that "proper" rock begins with Revolver (and Blonde on Blonde). This is where the image of "a rock band disappears into a studio to write personal, political and important i

Absolutely. I'm training for a half-marathon and the Hal Higdon program has worked well. Same principle as C25K.

Many responses here about exercise. (Not surprising, because I suspect many of us here were NOT the most physically active types in school or college :)) But yes, I too discovered running rather late and realized it took me only about 3-4 w

How do you mean "hard time reading"? Attention span problem, comprehension issues or lack of interest in reading?

That makes sense actually. Marketing automation is very hot, the bigger players are not going to bother building that service - not because they can't, but because they can't cater to SMB with their cost models - and hubspot has a

Yup, same space as NetSuite. Dynamics gets into pretty much every SMB ERP evaluation in the market. (MSFT does have a massive partner network to serve that market.)

Absolutely. Bring in 100 sales reps and suddenly SaaS pricing starts looking horrendous. The large enterprises complain endlessly about their SFDC bills.
