Looks great, an “email sign up for updates” would be valuable as I’d give this a go once you announce an iOS mobile app. As it stands I’ll have no way to know when that happens.

I'm interested to know more, do you have any sources on this?
Yes, the link in the article to the research paper isn't working.

The title of the article could be misleading, really comes back to interpretation plus the idea of correlation vs. causation.

For example these paragraphs in the article tell me I would want a "conservative" working for me given they are more likely to methodically do something correct the first time. If you apply these behaviours to "thoughts" does that also mean a "conservative" would also not so easily believe a statement, regardless if it is media, government or otherwise - and would mull it over and apply some logic to it instead of just going along with a crowd?

Easy to draw pros/cons from these things and project your own views.

"" In some cognitive tasks, participants were asked to respond as quickly and as accurately as possible. People who leant towards the politically conservative tended to go for the slow and steady strategy, while political liberals took a slightly more fast and furious, less precise approach.

“It’s fascinating, because conservatism is almost a synonym for caution,” she said. “We’re seeing that – at the very basic neuropsychological level – individuals who are politically conservative … simply treat every stimuli that they encounter with caution.” ""

Well put, the fact this is required is IMO an indictment of what Facebook has turned into. FB are not alone in this.
Re:Tesla Model S and Model 3 comparison on Friday May 26, 2017 @09:09AM (#14423728)
That makes sense, seems they want to avoid (stem?) people not buying the model S and waiting for the cheaper model 3.

I find it interesting that there is no mention of autopilot.
Given he acquired this prior the election could it not have been because he thought Hillary would have won? There is usually more than on "angle" to these stories.

PageSpeed Insights has a banner stating to use this new option, indicating it will become the only option in the future.
Re:Mobile Website Speed Testing Tool on Tuesday January 10, 2017 @05:56PM (#13370024)
The PageSpeed Insights[0] tool is better. Less scrolling to see results, actionable steps to fix issues and no scroll hijacking. Also seems to scan websites quicker.

Re:How we structure our work and teams at Basecamp on Thursday November 24, 2016 @05:48PM (#13033281)
The concept of large and small pieces of work, and having developers rotate between them in naturally forming teams I found to be excellent for morale and hence productivity.

Also once a cycle is locked in, it's rarely adjusted. And no timesheets.

Really basic things that IMO Basecamp is doing a great job advocating for in an industry that still needs it.

Re:Why I'm not a big fan of Scrum on Monday August 08, 2016 @08:34AM (#12247196)
This is so spot on. Use the parts that work, modify to suit the teams needs. I've seen this done to a massively productive and happy team.

I watched that a few times, thanks for the share. Beautiful use of technology.
Agree - Xero, Intuit, MYOB, Saasu etc. Lends itself to more than just banking data plus becomes an audience to market directly to.

Re:Meet the new Asana on Wednesday September 30, 2015 @10:37PM (#10308882)
I feel there are too many controls without a sense of hierarchy. I get lost knowing which sub list of which task under which project I'm looking at. Plus with the amount of controls there are I'd expect it to be more powerful.

Likewise - I really want to like it.

Re:New gadget on Indiegogo aims to kill roaming charges on Monday September 28, 2015 @07:39PM (#10293885)
Matthew from Strone here. Yes - while your SIM is in the Roam all incoming & outgoing calls and SMS flow through the Strone app. Basically the Strone acts as your messaging and calling apps on your phone for that SIM in the Roam.

Matthew from Strone here - I run Product. Feel free to ask questions, I'll check in regularly!
Re:New gadget on Indiegogo aims to kill roaming charges on Monday September 28, 2015 @05:39PM (#10293406)
Matthew from Strone here. Yes just use the supplied ethernet cable to connect the Roam to the internet!
