@Onethumb: I have ~150k photos on Flickr and a 10 year paid account but I stopped using it ~1.5 years ago when I got sick of their video upload timestamp issues. I have not checked recently if fixed.
When I upload photos, Flickr looks at the taken date of the photo and sorts them that way. When I upload videos from the computer (using the upload tool), Flickr does NOT look at the metadata to set the taken date. Instead, then taken date is set to the current date meaning the videos are out of order of the photos.
The biggest learning I had from this and watching Justin work is to be honest - don’t try to bullshit and pretend you know more than you do. Be honest what you don’t know - but then act quickly to learn what you don’t know and answer those questions.
IT Associate @ Atrium. At Atrium, our IT team is a core part of the business - supporting our lawyers and paralegals to more efficiently. We not only manage commodity IT, but select and implement the off the shelf tools that power the law firm; and we are the front lines of support for the tools we are building ourselves. We're looking for the second person to join the team and build out a department which will scale rapidly.
The worse problem is it also makes it difficult to change forms - or at least it creates the perception forms can't be reduced/simplified without 9+ months of process. *I work at USDS/SSA
Not sure why I have to "add" to listen to Prime songs. Can't I play the full song before adding it to my library? I want to be careful what I add - it's kinda like a bookmark. I should be able to try it first.
MIT took the opportunity to reconsider it's policies and ethics after Aaron Swartz (ie. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2014/mit-follows-up-on-questio...) This is the first test of those changes after Swartz. (Though as the others point out, Swartz's case was different, it was more clear that he did something illegal)
Also I think it's very disingenuous to say that deliberately thinking about your polices and then changing them is hypocritical. This is one of the reasons politicians in Washington can't get anything done - wavering from your past views = hypocrisy. If this was true, people could never change.
I had a internship directly with on of the VPs which I met at a recruiting event. It was pretty interesting - I got to learn a ton about Disney.
The problem is that Disney is missing the Silicon Valley style work culture and dynamism. Instead it has too many "pedestrian" positions, as you said, which means things get done slowly. I wish it took a page from internet companies (fewer, smarter generalists).
I interned at Disney last summer and met with 1-2 of the people on the list (after cold emailing them). I think many of the upper management of Disney are super-sharp.
It's interesting to see such a broad list of execs. I'm guessing not all are super excited about this (due to 100% participation), but I think the majority would be engaged.
I would add that you probably would not want to visit more than weekly - I work at a big tech company and the CEO (who is famously hands on and detail oriented) and SVPs only meet with key projects 1-2x/month tops.
