I read this book after I divorced, and I remember seeing a lot of my own relationship in it. Bottom line, everyone is not you, and to make the most of a relationship you need to understand how they see things, and accommodate.

I was wondering if he wears shades so you can never know for sure if it's him or a stand-in.

"- however, passwords are visible to customer service via a "secure, non-public tool"" "- so if a user account database is stolen somehow, the malicious thief would not have access to convenient info like email/username/cleartext password."

I was actually wondering that today with Lead Nuke: http://www.leadnuke.com/signup Their free and $10/mo plans both include "standard security." The $30/mo plan includes "Enhanced (SSL) security." Specifically I was wondering if the cost

Thank you for writing this, it's great food for thought, especially as you're under no obligation to either write it or to write to a particular level of detail. Reading this was time well spent in the ongoing adjustment of my brain.

A problem that exists, and is easily handled by the young, even to the point of not noticing it's a problem, could be insurmountable by the elderly.

Not to quibble, but lawsuits are also not bureaucracy.

I think bureaucracy had little to do with it. As I recall, the first Netflix contest did indeed expose private, and sometimes embarrassing, information. This was a privacy issue, and something legitimate to address.

Plus one to Netflix for making this the first sentence: "This is Neil Hunt, Chief Product Officer for Netflix." No vague hiding behind an unidentified team or blog. A person has chosen to identify himself with the decision, and the company

It's almost always surprising just how much private data can be exposed after data has been "anonymized." When you're using private data in any public way, or even with "partners or affiliates," you need to be very careful, watchful and res

"Later, the voting records were checked to determine the proportion of people receiving each type of call who actually voted." Wait a minute. People who have nothing to do with running an election are able to check to see if you voted? I th

It's great as far as it goes. Would be better if the sum were greater than the parts, i.e. more than a static list of interesting site/blogs. There's the obvious "if you liked that, here's something else you might like." Set the WayCool to

Wow, lots of non-database comments (not that there's anything wrong with that). Design your systems flexibly, with a reasonable lack of assumptions. If society moves past your system, fix it. I have one name. Very few online forms have ev

Someone in the marriage breakup industry told me that 75% of all second marriages fail. I think we should have five and ten year civil contracts, with options to renew. What you do religiously is your own business.

As I understand it, Amazon and others are required to collect purchase summaries and send that to Colorado, so that Colorado can collect (or enforce?) sales tax for online purchases. So, it looks to me like Amazon is objecting to collecting

"non-truncated location descriptions" Click on each, and you go to that flag on the map, with a text box containing the full text. Not ideal, but I think that's a google thing.

"First, you don't need "leader."" Unless he wanted to find a page writing about "leader," like a review, or even an ad, rather than the top google-ranked used car page itself.

"... I'm thinking if you even have to say "OpenID provider" you've already lost." Yeah, I've tried to explain the OpenID idea (just the idea) to people, and I just get crickets.

"But with the UX failures of OpenID ..." I see this often, and I don't get it. I go to a site that accepts OpenID and click the button. If I'm already signed in to OpenID, I'm in. If not, my OpenID provider's page pops up, I sign in, and I'

Maybe they outsource to a service, and that service is purely demographic based.

+1 to you and the parent that you replied to. Good points in both.

The amount of intimate information necessary to prevent ads served to existing customers would put me right off the internet.

by nfnaaron 17y ago
Really? Is this really necessary? Are competitors seeing/clicking/copying your ads and landing pages really a problem?

Wow. I would never buy a kindle or nook, they merely reimplement paper books, and poorly at that. This I would buy, use and love.

Some would say (have said, actually) that we never got them in the first place; we have them by nature, and we can only keep them or lose them.

In the US, isn't this exactly the sort of data that, when a bank or other entity exposes it in a "breach" (lost employee laptop), is required to be reported to the government? My understanding of this law is common knowledge, not lawyerly a

Why is IP being allowed to take precedence over civil liberties and cultural inheritance these days? WTF?

You know, that is a great format. I had to think for a few minutes what's going on. They just print his answers, and leave the questions out. It works amazingly well.

I've read (from memory, sorry) that almost all survivors of suicide leaps regret it and want to take it back the instant they commit to gravity. I don't recall irony being reported.
