I’m having this idea —

Amazon should allow only bad reviews or reviews that speak negative points about a product. In addition to that amazon should show only the number of purchases made.

Fake (paid) reviewers usually write good about the product to support sales

As a user after reading the description of the product i would be interested to know where the product fails.

With this model, fake reviewers will have to write fake bad reviews on other rival products which is expensive to do and easier to spot them based on patterns.


LinkedIn would be investing in other parts of the business which would result in some job creation and the firm would "work with employees impacted by today's announcement to explore these opportunities"

Good to know that they will first consider rehiring/interviewing the laid off employees and they are public about it.

Curious question: does the employee get to keep the severance package if rehired after being laid off?


I don't know how linked in is handling it, but in a typical layoff situation (I'm unfortunately familiar with several personally, and many more corporately) if you are rehired after your official termination date, you get to keep whatever the termination package was. The company considers you a new employee.

It needs to be this way for certain legal reasons.


Usually the way it works for our company, they give you a 2/3 month grace period where you stay on the books and get a chance to interview externally or internally and you only get the severance (in addition to the 2/3 months no work period) if you move out of the company.


Usually there is a wording in a papers that need to be signed in order to get severance - if rehired, severance won't be paid (plus reject the right to litigate). This is easy to implement as severance might be paid in be-weekly cadence (like salary).

Interesting! I had forgotten this was possible. Thanks for the suggestion

Making use of colors in architectural diagrams really add depth to the information. Often applications involve internal and external (out of scope) components. Using common colors for each group of components really helps in the readability.


‘poor UI design, accidental inputs’

I use webpages for most of the social networking platforms such as Facebook. I am left handed and scroll with my left thumb (left half of the screen). I have accidentally ‘liked’ people’s posts, sent accidental friend requests only because of this reason.

Guessing along with language selection, it might be helpful to have a selection of hand preference for mobile browsing.


Vitamin D3 is essential to fight against depression. Low vitamin D levels is one the major contributors toward depression.

Many of us work inside office with hardly any sunlight coming in. Going out under sun in the morning for 30 minutes will be helpful.


People say that but the drops and pills make zero difference. Sun sure does feel good, but the vitamin additives does not have the same effects. Based on that one could make the conclusion that it is not vitamin d but something else with sunlight that is beneficial.


Yes, recent studies have shown that Vitamin D is the marker that's associated with whatever process sun exposure induces. It's not the vitamin itself causing the benefits. Get some sun, just not too much.


Probably the light itself, light therapy has anti-depressive effects even on non-seasonal depression.

How does this work on devices with touch screen?

(My apologies if this question has already been raised)


(Your apology was rejected as it's clearly stated in the ultra short OP)

It prefetches on touch event while a "click" is normally triggered by a touch release.


> It prefetches on touch event while a "click" is normally triggered by a touch release.

So now I can't even touch my screen without being taken somewhere else, because I don't know where all the active areas are.


This is addressed in the article...
