I'd recommend that you actually try that, and then view it with a different logged-in profile. It's all still visible.

There's clearly sufficient demand for them to have settings to lock the profile down from search engines, and non-logged in users. I'd wager that most users who set the privacy settings (heck look at this post) don't realize

I have public profile visibility set to off, have had it for years. I'm pretty sure those settings just change how you look to people who are NOT logged in.

No one seems to complain about the environmental impact of home heating in cold climates. FWIW, I've seen a lot of material promoting heat pumps in colder climates.

There are two separate themes linked to soil in the article: the use of dirt for the shows; and the use of soil education in agriculture, that led to agriculture shows, that, in turn led to sideshows, that led to monster truck shows. I thou

How complicated is it to learn a framework like React (which celebrated its 10 years 3 months ago) if you have a background in software engineering and some basic knowledge of HTML/JS? Like an afternoon to read the doc? 3 days to prac

You’re assuming I’m an American. Regardless, this sort of pseudo-anthropological BS has been used to justify discrimination for centuries (and I hope we can agree it’s entirely irrelevant to hiring decisions: I accept that people will be as

If I were to share an anecdote about another group being subject to workplace discrimination and open bigotry; and then get a canned sociological treatise trying to justify it, that response would be, rightly seen as beyond the pale. So no,

Devils advocate: you're trying to justify some destructive (and presumably illegal since it's influencing his hiring decisions based on a protected category) workplace bigotry with a pseudo-sociological treatise.

U.S. high school math scores lag significantly behind other countries, even though scores in reading and science are above average How much of this math gap is because other countries focus heavily on test prep and exam performance?

I recall reading/seeing that a lot of standardized testing in the US is gamed by schools, which focus on “teaching the test”. Could the decline in test scores be related to a shift im how schools approach these tests?
