I love this sort of thing, but like many heatmaps, I wish it had a color blind toggle.


I have to wonder if this is on the front page as part of a marketing campaign for the new Showtime Docuseries.


I wish it were although I had no idea. If it is then you've just contributed to it (seriously thanks for pointing me to it - I'm a big fan and most likely going to watch).


But when you’re in advertising all that matters are the results.


Very interesting read, but as more of an analyst, I kept waiting for the ‘meaning.’ Maybe I missed it, but for anyone else who may be considering reading this, it is more about ‘giving business structure’ to analytic events.

Good article none the less.


I bought my Toyota for the motor, so I didn't pay a lot of attention at the time of purchase. I wish I had though. Entune is absolutely terrible. I'm still mind boggled that a quality manufacturer like Toyota would allow such a terrible piece of engineering in their vehicles.


Panasonic makes them, which made it click for me. Both Japanese companies, both titans. No betting on scrappy startups.

But I agree, I bought mine for the motor as well, and really that's what's important to me. Would I like a better head unit, sure, but I'd make the same choice again.


Unfortunate as it may be, sometimes in large corporations, it takes paying an outsider to identify and document something, before anything will be done about it.


Not sure who said it first, but "a consultant is someone you pay to take your watch and tell you what time it is"


That's not what it takes: it's what they prefer to be done by the kinds of people who won't disrupt them too much with reforms. There's been many internal assessments in companies that did even better. Usually just have to survey and interview the workers to see what's going on. The supervisors and managers, too, but the big problems usually start from them on up.


What an interesting take away. This is why I like online forums, because I would have never expected such a response.

For better or worse, I read the headline and hoped someone had made some progress that would make those dealing with ill babies, lives just a little easier.


Not much people are thinking like you. Received 10 downvotes in 2 minutes :)


Think much harder about power and cooling. A few points:

I've only ever built desktop machines, and this top comment drew a surprising parallel to most help me with my desktop build type posts. Granted, I'm sure as you dig deeper, the reasoning may be much different, but myself being ignorant about a proper server build, it was somehow reassuring to see power and cooling at the top!


This list of known browsers(cookies) would be worth well over $1mil to US advertisers right? I can only assume they're selling it, according to the privacy policy.


Someone at work was recently giving me the slack pitch, and mentioned the cool bot that be configured to announce people, answer questions etc...

It made me very nostalgic for my old IRC friends, both people and eggdrop bots alike.


I have long held that IM (in particular MSN Messenger) was what killed community usage of IRC.

Before XP shipped with Messenger bundled, and aggressively pushed (i recall you would get a big window in your face on first login "demanding" you set up an account), basically everyone with a net connection in the local area was found on one or more regional channels.

After IM came however, things became very "cliche-y" as people were "approving" each other over IM and then dropping off IRC.
