His choice of words is not very fortunate. If webpage A has an underlying conversion ratio of X, and webpage B has an underlying conversion ratio of Y, then if X is not equal to Y, in theory we could always find evidence that X is "sig

What's next? All the interviews have to take place in a dark room so that the interviewer can't see the color of the interviewee's skin?

I guess we can call that the 90's heritage of Booking.com. Naturally we can't use the same explanation for DDG, which launched less than half a decade ago.

Same here. I used DDG a couple of years ago, for about 2 months. I also ended up going back to Google for at least 30% of my queries. As a result of the reduction in productivity, I decided to switch back to Google. Besides the anonymity th

I don't know if there is an imbalance either, I do know that in certain circles it's culturally unaccepted. Many people I know consider online dating to be something for losers. Interestingly, this can easily be turned around: ch

I agree. It seems better to spend your time investigating the company and to try to obtain information about the interviewers with the purpose to discover some common ground, rather than to learn dozens of algorithms by heart, just to forge

I'm surprised, and also quite disappointed, that only Germany (that I know of) takes the spying on its citizens so seriously. I wish more governments would inquire the legality of the NSA programs, and would dare to take action in case

And here in Holland. It even stimulates tourism. I wonder what would happen to the Amsterdam economy if legalization of softdrugs and prostitution becomes the global norm.

At the same time, giving Tesla the privilege to sell directly because of their absent legacy relationshops would give them a unfair advantage. I like Tesla, but they shouldn't gain this advantage. Society could simply allocate its reso

Next up, Loon servers? I can't wait having my torrents served from the stratosphere. I believe TPB was already considering having drone-based servers - balloons just seem so much cheaper.

You're right, and I believe you pinpoint the problem with the US political system. It's pretty much impossible for anybody with out of the ordinary political views to be represented at a high level in the US democracy. It will tak

The first stated purpose of copyright in the US is "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts". Keeping this in mind, first we can ask ourselves whether the current system does or does not significantly limit progress by

Relatively, we probably have the highest number of phone taps in the world. In total there probably are over 25.000 phone numbers being tapped. Also, metadata of different types of communications are stored.

Perhaps a comment on the original article rather than this response article, but by "beating Wall Street", you're not just beating Goldman et al., you're (for a large part) beating the pension funds that hard working citizens put their savi

Let's assume wages are sufficient, the prices that we pay for products are apparently still too low to ensure humane working conditions. And frankly, if a government would ensure humane working conditions wages would have to rise because pr

I am a strong proponent of gun control, but I often hear opponents say that the lawful possession of guns to a certain extent ensures freedom of government oppression. Probably it would be a lot messier if citizens in a situation like this

Given the level of attraction of SV, the number of talented people from outside the US would be much greater if it wasn't for the way the US government treats foreigners. If the government doesn't become more receptive to foreigners it is q

I think there's quite a strong divide between the creators and the consumers of (low level) technology, even in San Francisco (even though I've never been there). From what I can tell, there is a shift going on in the sense that the number

Hasn't the 1 year in Java made you a better Javascript programmer? I assume you haven't just been learning language syntax, but have been developing patterns that are deployable across languages. Of course, you would have been a better Java

Nice article. Unfortunately we see that in big projects there may be too strong of a reliance on specialists performing certain tasks. This isn't only because of the potential specialist nature of the task, but also for an important part be

With this new move, it seems that Flickr has made a turn towards the domain of 500px.com, also known as providing a stylish way of showcasing your photos. 500px actually used to have a design that was almost an exact match to what Flickr ha

> How a company treats people during interviews is a huge indicator of how they treat people in general. I fully agree. I think a possible fix is to publicly share the experiences people have when interacting with HR. If this is done ce

Getting Marissa Mayer is the best thing that happened to Yahoo. Regardless of some of the mistakes that may have been made (thinking of one acquisition in particular), she surely is putting the company back on the map. Personally I still ra

Inflation rates, also in the western countries, are messed up statistics. Many 'corrections' are taking place that seem pretty much unjustifiable, lowering the reported inflation rate. Governments are selling inflation indexed securities, a

I like the idea, but to be honest I think this is the wrong approach. People are not engaged with their consumption to the extent that they will go scanning all the products they purchase. What would work, though, is if you could inform peo
