I actually built a semantic engine for CV/job ad matching last year but I could never get over the feeling that it's not really what people want - so it's sitting dormant in my pile of ideas-I-never-launched.

Not like Google and the (in the UK) the coppers don't already track our movements - so it's nice to see what they can see.

The quality of quizzes is great, but this doesn't seem like a really great way of presenting them. Did you know that there's research that older people with dementia do remarkably better in an environment that reminds them of the

Not a new idea - but seems like a nice design; shame you don't have a video showing it in action, and I don't see why we need to sign up to try it - maybe move the sign up to later on?

FWIW I do this: gym 1 hour per day (improves health, skin condition, confidence - just don't run every day and do get good running shoes); plan my goals with GTD (listen to the original audio CDs - they are golden - online guides are

IMHO what's more interesting is how wealth alter the choices one might make. A new 4x4 because it's "safer" vs. taking public transport - when in fact a new 4x4 is costly to the environment and makes one less fit than p

In my experience those digital hotel safes that you set a code for usually have a standard override code (often 5555) - failing that a sharp ta to the top of the keypad gets some open. It's a kind of a shame they don't take this

At least one of these sites would do well on Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert site ... Seriously you should contact his team.

Sounds like you might enjoy freelancing more? Not sure how it works in the RoW - but in the UK you look for contracts, when you find one setup your Ltd Co and engage an accountant - and you're set --- with the added bonus that your wil

Pilot G-Tec-C4 Rollerball Pen is affordable and well regarded with a practical narrow stroke. Have used these for many years. Silvine pocket notebooks are affordable and well made.

Having spent several years living with a self-confessed homophobic person, I saw their attitude turn around (70%) when they met my gay friends. Maybe the people on the github discussion should try to "educate" the transphobic mai

FWIW I listen to the audio book every year and each time I learn something new. For me the author's concepts of the natural planning system, cranking widgets and rapid inbox parsing have been key to my work and personal life for many y

In another life I used to prepare Tc99m injections for various scans and we'd call the ligands by their intended target (e.g. lung, heart etc). We'd measure the dose according to the expected time of administration in order to acc

Sadly I believe this to be a hoax [0] but has been used several times as an interesting plot device - notably in G Benford's short story Time Shards (which I have not read). Similarly it has been proposed that stone stores electrical

FWIW I sympathise with Adria - she seems like the perfect geek (takes no bullcrap, sticks to her guns, overly logical analysis of social situations to the detriment of all); describes me some of the time, and the constant state of some of t

Looks a lot like the old workspot [0] which I really loved (when it worked) so that's cool. But why don't you lead with the Paperweight offering and just cut out all the other stuff? Just throw the lady's computer on the flo

"If it walks a like duck ..." ;) We none of us are perfect, we all have our flaws, but being tricky is not something we need to do; at the very least, it's not something I would wish to spend any time in my life doing.

I hate this story. I think it's important to differentiate between people who have the right knowledge to request a change and those that think they have the right solely because of seniority; but it's also rather disrespectful t

You get what people think you will take; agents don't bother offering me low-paid jobs because they know I won't take them and they save the big rates for me.

This looks so great: I've been looking for a martial art to supplement my daily workout and give me some strength and agility - and some fun - this seems a lot more exciting than the Krav Maga classes I was looking at. Anyone know if
