Re:Amazon is filled with fake reviews and it’s getting harder to spot ... on Sunday September 06, 2020 @04:14PM (#24394308)
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.

Re:LinkedIn to cut 960 jobs worldwide on Tuesday July 21, 2020 @12:15PM (#23908091)
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?

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.

Re:Exercise as a treatment for depression: a meta-analysis (2016) on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @08:00AM (#19553094)
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.

Re:Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything? on Tuesday February 05, 2019 @03:11PM (#19089274)
"The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy

One of the most practical books I have read which you can easily implement in your real life to see positive outcome.

I don't see outline making money out of it (I can't see any ads). Plus it gives credit to the original page as a link on the top left corner (I'm viewing on mobile browser).

Speaking about the product -- doesn't the weight of the boots make the body unbalanced? I mean, weight of hands is an important factor while running. So, my guess is that adding wrist weights might make running with these boots on less uncomfortable.

Re:US shutdown: Flight delays caused by staff shortages on Friday January 25, 2019 @11:40AM (#18999637)
Why can't US government give an official statement to all its employees guaranteeing future payment of the work done during shutdown? And banks should be able to give personal loan over that statement. Interest paid over that loan can be reimbursed by the govt once shutdown is over.

(I am not an economist; It is just my opinion)

Re:How to Be Successful on Thursday January 24, 2019 @04:48PM (#18993350)
1. Be Healthy

Regularly get your vitamin levels checked and make sure to get adequate Vitamin D3

Regularly get your hormone levels checked for any imbalance.

Exercise, breathe, sleep well, and eat healthy.

Seeing dinosaurs could be possible if a 4 light year wide telescope is sent via a worm hole to one of the galaxies in the Virgo cluster (65m light years away) and live imagery of Earth (not via worm hole) is sent back via the worm hole to Earth.

You're right. My bad. I have added an edit to my comment.

Slightly off-topic but I'd like to mention -- I have never been happy by their decision of getting rid of the Headphone jack (and other ports).

Laptop is meant to be a portable device and it needs to be self-sufficient. But in case of the new MacBooks you have to keep adapters handy at all times. Using bluetooth for audio draws more battery than wired ones, though negligible, but still matters over long runs. Also, you have to make sure your bluetooth earphones/speakers are charged as well.

EDIT - Disregard my comment. I had Apple iPhone in mind while writing for MacBook. Guess I was misplaced in space and time.
