Unless I misunderstood losteric, it sounds like all the names of people on a mailing list were automatically added as “signatures” to this letter even if they didn’t agree with the letter contents. That sounds pretty unethical.

Can confirm it’s still similar. Went through the same process 2 months ago.

Could you clarify? Is this markup only on card present transactions?

I can’t speak for others but I personally find driving a manual does help prevent accidents. Driving an automatic feels a bit mundane. Just hold the gas pedal in the same spot the whole time. It’s easy to slip into a boredom state (zone ou

You just need to look for flight sales (like you would for an economy ticket). Example: JFK to FRA, business class, A380 lie flat: $1,996USD https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/premium-fare-deals/1894422-s... That’s o

Wow I never would’ve thought this. As a Canadian, when I travel to the US for work / vacations I sometimes get my passport stamped with a B1/B2 visa (it is very common to cross the border with no Visa stamp in your passport). I fo

Seems I paraphrased the article poorly, here are the actual key points: 1. Never assume you know more about a design than the company that made it. 2. You don’t know the problem that the design is solving. 3. Don’t jump to conclusions until

I read a good article once (can’t seem to find it, I’ll link it if I do) where a UX designer had a similar reaction to a website. He was angry that he needed to provide an email address to access the “show me what this tool even is” part of

Precisely. I wouldn’t doubt there are algorithms that take into account general tone of tweets and news posts (using some sort of NLP) into a trading decision.

Yeah it probably is. I wasn’t commenting on the dark pattern though. I was surprised to hear that “common users” don’t just auto dismiss pop ups.

by Zombieball 8y ago
I never realized this. Any sources? A quick google brought me to this aritcle ( https://sumo.com/stories/pop-up-statistics ) which indicates a conversion rate of 3-9% for pop ups requesting info / sign-up. So you ma

If true, wouldn’t that just be a sign that AWS is not reinvesting fast enough?

I don’t think you have an understanding of the complexity behind Netflix. Their tech blog is a great resource that provides insight into some of their engineering challenges. I’d highly recommend. Edit: just realized I duplicated scarface74

But a lot of super heroes are just regular folks who gain their special abilities (super powers). Granted after being bitten by a radioactive spider (or something of that nature).

They shouldn’t. It was an unintentional bug

For what it’s worth Amazon HR specifically chose the term “superpower”. Not sure it needs to be replaced.

What tooling are you referring to? I skimmed through other comments and didn’t notice any concrete examples? Do you envision something like project planning software? I think a key point of a good manager is also people development. But I i

I am not sure I understand the proposal, it seems that you’ve categorized managers into 2 buckets: 1) Managers who add little to no value. 2) Sr. Managers who do add value (big picture roadmap, headcount balancing, etc. I don’t think you ar

Never knew about the Cadillac. Very cool, thanks for calling it out. I wonder how to truly tell if a driver is attentive? The Cadillac indicates it uses head tracking technology. I wonder if that is sufficient? Seems you probably need even

Regardless of whether or not paid time off is an incentive to vote, it seems crazy to not be part of the law. In my opinion paid time off to vote, regardless of which day you go (early voting, elections day, etc.) should be allowed. Period.

I didn’t know this was not already mandated by law. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but it seems to jive with the general theme of other US policies. To contrast, in Canada: “By law, eligible electors must have three consecutive hours to

I think you even cut the quote short... > In business, its not 11 abreast pack-em-in which is what the 787 has done “In business” as in business class? Most 787 I’ve been on are 1-2-1 reverse herringbone in business.

I know next to nothing about browser plugin development, but my guess would be the logic around preventing bots and click fraud? Maybe this wasn’t achievable without forking the browser? I’m curious because the plugin path sounds like a goo
