But 10% of 63,000 is 6,300, which are the ones affected and probably on the receiving end of severance pay.

I don't think there's a problem with automagically inferring the language. It sounds like the problem lies in not being able to override that decision.

Still, this is an easier way to apply that filter. I've found filters to not always be that easy to set up... so I can only imagine how average users deal with them, aka probably not at all.

They just moved into that office less than a year ago. I can't see why they'd be moving again so soon.

My philosophy is that stock photos are bad when you could be using that space to visually give visitors information about your product/site/organization/whatever. I work on software for apartment communities, and a huge offen

No systems I've seen use that specific data point. Sadly for communities (and probably good for prospective renters), the third party sites you might find listings on (Craigslist, Apartments.com, ForRent.com, etc.) don't share tha

A few other products out there apart from YieldStar include LRO and Rent Maximizer. It's fascinating how much goes into the pricing. It's all based on quite a few variables, ranging from availability (like you mention), competing

I'm curious about this too, especially since OP says they'd like to continue scraping. I've heard of other people crawling craigslist getting banned pretty fast and even one site getting slapped with a lawsuit [0]. (Which loo

I run a help site for an online game, and I used to use CAPTCHA's on our various forms. We had tons of bot problems. So, one day I switched the CAPTCHA to a simple trivia question that only people who play the game would know the answe

We use Chatter where I work, and I think it's used pretty successfully. It's not exactly a "social network" because, let's face it, when you're at work, you're (hopefully) going to be a lot more profession

I am a UX/UI guy, and I wish it would be used properly . What a lot of parallax sites like to do is mess with the scrolling of the page. ("Scrolljacking" is a term I've thrown around for stuff like this.) Don't do

Not just you. I was traveling internationally the last few weeks and was using the phone calling in my iOS hangouts app the entire time! So, this announcement must be either slightly belated, or they've been testing it on iOS beforehan

I've always thought that Netflix was in a tough spot when it comes to cutting consumers off, because (1) they'd be losing money, and (2) they'd need to responsibly refund those consumers or else they'll look terrible. Ho

If you're using it to measure solids like flour, you're actually using it incorrectly. The OXO cup is really for measuring liquids. To measure out solids (flour, sugar, etc.) you should be using solid measuring cups.

Doesn't sound like you may necessarily want to expand this funding source, but if you do, I also run a content-heavy site that currently runs on donations. I've been doing it without paying a dime myself over the past 8 years or s

I'm sure the end goal is to actually be able to plop down a car anywhere and have it go, doing all of the data processing in real time. Even if Google could map out all those details, the world just changes too darn often. Feels like i

I'd also point out--for your benefit if you don't know, or for anyone else that reads this--that Google is an investor in Uber.

I took a geology class at Stanford when I was an undergrad, and we went to that deposit/mine on a field trip. My professor claimed that the type of asbestos present at the mine was harmless since the mineral structure was a large fiber

It sounds like the "innovation" is that the new razor handle will use blades from existing P&G blades, as opposed to them using blades designed specifically for this handle. Feels like another example of this would be HP makin

Because it doesn't happen on a regular basis, and they seem to have reasonable blockers in place to prevent it when they can. But, their drivers are people, and some people will do anything they can to get around that system. If I had

That's good to know. Just to be clear, I don't fault Uber at all for this happening, and it's nice to know that they're attempting to put limits in place to prevent it. But it was aggravating in the moment.

A month or so ago, I made the mistake of answering a text message from my en route driver asking where I was going. I thought, "Oh nice, he's plugging it into GPS beforehand." But I was wrong. He must have not liked my destin

In my experience at Stanford, this usually wasn't the case. Most people started looking for internships around February-April. Obviously not the case everywhere... but it's the case at arguably one of the closest talent pools to Y

I'm not implying I have a problem with Mozilla including these ads. If it helps them out in the end to keep the browser field competitive, I'm all for it. I also won't argue your point about calling the pre-installed search e

One of the biggest nitpicks I've always had is the calendar. Whenever I click the quick link from the home page (Chatter summary + dashboards, after logging in), it takes me to the last calendar page I viewed. I don't use the SF c

That feature was released on iOS a week (or so?) ago already. I haven't had a chance to play with it myself, though, so I'm not sure how it works.
