I do it for all three reasons, but habit most of all.
But thanks for the links. There also seem to be (other?) lawyers on this comment thread who have pointed out how useless such notices are for enforceable copyright protection.

Interesting indeed, that goes against the grain of what I read here in opinions and links. So maybe it does matter? Thanks for the list.

That's right thanks. Yes, only the first year when published serves a purpose for copyright reasons. You just see so many of (c) boilerplates that give a year span. Or are there for not copyright reasons at all. But right, having a single dynamic year is not good for copyright reason.

That's it. I had to read this far before I realized that's exactly what their core is: "trying to normalize liquid diets" (as in make them normal, acceptable, approachable, I think?). There's nothing natural (as in biologically normal, desirable or standard) about a liquid diet, so that's going to be an uphill battle.

It wasn't "up to". It was those amounts stated in the docs, using only the number of founders (from one to three) as the proxy.

Re:San Francisco zoning: Needs more density and tall buildings

There's tons of space to do this in without compromising the quality of the city. Bayview and south from there, all the way to South San Francisco where there is tons of undeveloped space, and where the combination of new large developments with high-speed commuter rail (i.e. modern fast BART, with a couple of branching lines - CalTrain is decades past prime) could end up being cheaper and faster to build. It doesn't have to be the heart of the city, nor does it have to be the suburban sprawl you commute to/from +2hrs per day. It should be a menu of options.

Again, there are sides to that. Paris is one of the few places more expensive than SF, and the quality of the density can be a subjective one. I for one dislike Paris and the kind of density it creates (comparable to London, just smells worse).

I tweeted @hiddenapp 20 minutes ago to ask if this is legit or marketing. No response yet, though I'm pretty sure they're looking at their feed to capitalize on the publicity. Most likely a marketing stunt in my opinion. If turns out to be that, very dodgy.

As an employer I would want to block this in an instant. It's the perfect addition to any social engineering arsenal. If it works, great for finding out little details about a company that only an insider would know, to support a more thorough corporate espionage or hacking attempt.
Also, given that out of the volume of incoming queries that companies get only a tiny fraction is related to potential employment there, you'd have to figure out how to filter out people looking for 1) sales leads, 2) customer support, 3) freebies, 4) a direct line to the CEO for their complaints, 5) a direct line to the CEO for their charity sponsorship, etc.
Sorry about being harsh. I just think it could be a bit of a Pandora's Box.

This is such troll-fodder. I'm not even a militant atheist, and still just looking at the front page pisses me off. That and the design, which jars my brain and hurts my eyes.
Re:The Most Terrifying Drone Video Yet
on Thursday February 21, 2013 @05:48AM (#5256707)
The blogger who wrote this up as terrifying isn't really with the program. With a friend of mine building laser-guided mosquito zappers in her backyard, drones like these are relatively easy to deter. Of course it leads to an arms race, but maybe we'll eradicate those mid-summer bloodsuckers while we're at it.
Drone proliferation, military and civil, is unavoidable.
