Re:In China, Women Hired to Motivate Computer Programmers on Friday August 21, 2015 @09:42AM (#10097347)

Where is the source? The article links to nothing but a Facebook post. The whole thing was a joke that several Chinese companies made during this year's Apirl's Fool Day.

It is a very lame joke, though.

Me too. It seems to depend on browser. I did not pass on Chrome but pass after switching to Safari.

Re:MovieLens – Non-Commercial, Personalized Movie Recommendation System on Monday August 17, 2015 @03:58AM (#10071756)

It seems that recommendations by the "wizard" mode are updated daily or so. I signed up yesterday and got nothing with the wizard mode. It starts to show promising results just now I checked.

Re:MovieLens – Non-Commercial, Personalized Movie Recommendation System on Monday August 17, 2015 @03:14AM (#10071664)

Have you tried selecting the "warrior" mode? The same thing happened to me but after I selected "warrior" mode, recommendations popped up.

Edit: It seems that the "wizard" mode is updated daily or so.
