Harvey-Specter

My brother is 19, he basically only uses Instagram and Snapchat. He even uses Snapchat as his primary messaging app, which is infuriating.

Instagram stories are great for sports. Team stories are usually a series of highlights from the previous game.

I don't have access to the full article, but

> lowering the rate to 7.25%

> repaying his $600,000 in student loans at a rate of 4%

These two things don't jive. Did he have the option of a loan at 4% at some point?

> this guy has the financial acumen of a brick

Sounds like he's doing the smart thing at this point, doesn't it? He borrowed over $600,000. By the end of the 25 year period he'll likely have paid back less than the original principal.

You need to take them out of the original packaging and put them in a greyscale container as well.

I'm not making any assumptions about anything, and I'm not attacking any company. I'm addressing the point that jamra made above, which is a general commenting stating that publishing a list of addresses is harmless because addresses are public data.

I don't think there is any requirement to use real names.

mTurkers get to pick and choose which hits they want to work on. They see a list of available hits, and each has a title, description, submitter, estimated time, and reward. The submitter matters to mTurkers because this allows them to see the hit acceptance rate (how often the submitter pays out on submissions, or how often they reject submissions).

So it's simply a fact of the platform that mTurkers know who they are working for.

I've mentioned this in a few places but it seems to be ignored:

The account that posts the addresses is assosciated with some company. If that company isn't just 'Generic Consulting Company' then there is some context derived from the account name.

ie: This account is owned by 'XXX Toys', and they're asking me to clean up this address information. I guess someone at this address ordered some adult toys.

That information wouldn't be directly included, but some account has to post the hit. That account is either associated with some company or some person who works for some company.

I would consider that to be an 'existing WMD' rather than some new 'virtual WMD'

How would either of these be worse than a nuke going off in Hong Kong or NYC?

I'm having a hard time imagining a virtual WMD that is worse than the instant obliteration of millions of people.

You would still use mTurk to recruit participants, so you still benefit from their filters for acceptance rate etc. You would just implement the survey (probably with some attention checks to weed out people who just randomly answer questions), and at survey completion you give them a code to submit to complete the mTurk hit.

Then you would only accept the submissions that have passed the attention checks, and pay those mTurkers.

In the case of a list of addresses, just knowing the company or person associated with the Mturk task could be enough context to reveal information about the person(s) living at that address.

This doesn't have to be the case. For example, if you're paying mturk workers to fill out a survey you can give them a link to some third party (ie: Qualtrics) which will generate a code upon survey completion which the mturker enters as the answer to the only question on Amazon.

If you're really concerned about a third party having access to your data, you could just host the survey yourself.

I haven't stated that I think it's a good idea. You've stated that you believe the government (presumably) should intervene and not allow retailers to have their own brands, I'm simply asking you to explain your position.

Basically every retailer has a 'house brand' of products that are manufactured by some third party. This isn't new or unique. Why do you think this is bad?

A tad off topic, which password manager would you recommend?

Are you also creeped out by your cellphone?

mobilefriendly is implying that aircraft mechanics in El Salvador are somehow less qualified to maintain Southwest's fleet than (presumably) American aircraft mechanics.

There are obviously people out there for whom this is new information.

My partner was born in Germany and most of her family still lives there so she keeps up with German news. She is under the impression that the scandal is getting more publicity and generating more outrage in Germany than it is here in Canada.

> the quality of the textbooks on the Chromebook are terrible

Would you expect the textbooks to be better quality on the iPads vs on the Chromebooks? Why?

So this thing was launched in December, and news on whether or not it was successful?

Memory

No, there isn't. Please quote what other information is provided.

I read the article. The question is stated to be

> "If a ship had 26 sheep and 10 goats onboard, how old is the ship's captain?"

What 'clue' did I miss? The only other information is some speculation from a Weibo commenter who thinks that 26 sheep + 10 goats = 7700kgs.

I supposed you could argue that these 5th grade students should know the minimum age required to have a commercial boat licence, but I couldn't tell you that answer for my country (and we don't know that this is a commercial ship, could just be someone taking his livestock for a jaunt around the lake).

I don't feel the need to purchase every book I read just so it can sit on a shelf in my house when I'm done. So I use the public library unless it's a new release that I want to read right away.
