It's very similar to Enterprise. The big difference is that for Enterprise you need to have a big enough user base to sustain a community.

Channels is geared towards smaller orgs, with more hooks to get Qs answered and built into the core stackoverflow.com experience.

Sounds like you guys should check out Stack Overflow Enterprise then! (could host it on-prem)

Full disclosure: I'm the PM on both Channels and Enterprise

for whatever it's worth--we call woodlice "roly-poly's" in the US. which now sounds silly typing out. jiggers are far scarier parasitic creatures.

in Montana, many people who are lower income are partially or heavily reliant on harvesting big game for food.

if you're a felon, ironically, often times this need is compounded because you might have limited job opportunities due to your status as a felon.

This one is a big deal in states like Montana, where you can no longer hunt for food as a felon. And Archery is now in a gray area too, where they aren't letting felons hunt with bows either.

I meant prevalence in the context of total people affected by a disease, regardless of whether or not they were diagnosed.

increasing in prevalence? or increasing in diagnosis?

You raise a good point. I guess my frustration is that there basically is no good way to have truly private/encrypted email-Google aside. Ironically, having your own email server in your closet (a la HRC) might be the most private option.

I share a similar discomfort. However, between Gmail and Google search, they already have all of my data.

ditto. I live off of it.

Does this mean that Sparkling Water makes you fat?

Here's some reading on the alternatives I was thinking about.

This is really exciting! Quick question for you.

Have you experimented at all with using the Apple Watch to measure blood pressure?

I have done some reading that suggests the optical sensor could measure blood pressure with some accuracy, but that Apple is hesitant to release it as a feature due to regulatory and accuracy concerns. It's my #1 wished for feature.

Anything in particular that they are doing with their user data? I am curious.

Square Cash has made a really interesting play at the underbanked market too, with its virtual debit card. But without all of the borderline predatory fees.

I find it fascinating that there is enough human introduced radioactivity in our atmosphere that it's measurable in steel and even problematic for the creation of some medical devices et al.

Yeah, I see what you are saying. In that case, I am simply not qualified to answer your question.

In short, because they think you'd engage less with Scott Adams' content.

Filter bubbles are an algorithmic attempt to give you the content that you want the most. For example, Twitter might have identified at some level that you like and retweet sports related content more often than political content. Or even further, that you like left-leaning content more than right. So, they'll do everything they can to serve you what they think you want. If it keeps you scrolling, then they make more ad dollars.

All of these nuanced inputs impact what you see on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

The problem is, there IS a difference between what you want to see and what you should see. Just because you love cat photos, doesn't mean that the NY Times should be filled with them.

If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend this (9 min) ted talk on the topic: https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_b...

Just to be clear--I too am pissed.

Beware the filter bubble

My mistake ;)

Conservatism in the US hypothetically is supposed to encompass the preservation of people's privacy from the interference from others - including by the government, individuals, and companies.

But I think it's very telling that when companies interests and individuals interests conflict, then the favor recently has been towards the "freedom" of the companies at the expense of the individual. It's a shame.

I'm so glad you agree. I've been dying laughing over these posts. They're gold.

For what it's worth, it's a horrid interview question. But I'll put that aside for a second.

Having candor and talking as though you were the interviewer can show empathy for their thought process while deliberately disconnecting you from the answer. This can kinda disarm the awkwardness of selling yourself so blatantly.

Example:

"If I were in your shoes - I would be looking for someone who would be the best fit for the team and can demonstrate X, Y, and Z skills [Note: great time to demonstrate understanding of what they're hiring for and pander towards your specific skill set. The real important thing here is knowing what X, Y, and Z should be]. Hopefully I have demonstrated that I fulfill those requirements through our interview, but certainly let me know if there are any areas that I can provide additional clarity. [In a sales interview, sometimes someone goes for a close here. Asks the interviewer if they have any objections about moving them forward to the next step. That's too aggressive in an engineering interview, but this might eek out an additional question or two. But in all likelihood, they'll just move right along]".

I don't think this is necessarily true. Much of the VC dollars Uber has are currently being used to enter new markets. It's primarily used as growth dollars, as it should be.

They lost $1.2 billion this year and spent $1 billion on trying to capture the India market alone. In several other markets they were taking a similar strategy.

My suspicion is that as a rider in a primary market, you are paying a "sustainable" (for the rider) rate. Maybe not so much for the driver. But that's a different topic.

ah interesting! I stand corrected. good to know

No.

But there is a >0 number of people at late stage companies who effectively cannot leave without losing lots of money.

Following FB having so many shares on the secondary market, some companies restricted the sales of their shares.

Usually, if you don't exercise shares within 90 days of leaving a company, they disappear. Let's say you have $100k in shares at your strike price and you exercise them and have the money to do so. Great!

But now in the eyes of the government, you owe taxes on the money you "made" even though they are illiquid. So, you could theoretically be forced to pay taxes on millions and millions of dollars of shares, for which you have to date received $0.

In a lot of ways this sounds like a rudimentary solution in which it hasn't become economically viable to instead solve with technology.

In other words, the eye as a light sensor to match a color in the physical world is the most efficient solution we have, no?

I'm flogging a dead horse here, I apologize. But doesn't a color simply consist of levels of Red, Green, and Blue and the Pantone is essentially directing the user to achieve those levels. And therefore, couldn't that be easily achieved through something like RGB?

I understand that the answer is a "no" and that I'm wrong. I just don't know why I'm wrong.

so, humor me this. I understand that a Pantone color is definite. A designer with the swatches should be able to expect that matched outcome in, for example, a manufactured textile.

In that scenario, what is the deliverable to the manufacturer or the printer as it pertains to a specific color? What specifications are they using to match against a defined pantone? Is it too a matter of matching against a swatch? That seems arduous at best!
