> This is probably the most embarrassing feature missing on twitter, meaning the inability to click a notification and hide it

What would you do with ad? Probably hide it as so would do 95% of other twitter users? Sure, this would be sane behavior for me and a vast majority, but not good for the twitter sales department which is likely to have a hard time anyway.

There is nothing wrong to see actual people. What would you do with your free time gained from not doing "administrative" tasks like seeing the laundry / buy food?

From what do you come to the conclusion that older people are doing worse? Worse in respect to what?

The paper more or less confirms from the cognitive domain, that we are working to much. Upto 25 hours are the best. This interestingly coincides with claims from others, eg. UBI folks, to work less for increased productivity. Seems we are getting more and more factual prove that eg. redistribution of wealth should be done not by increasing taxes but by getting more people into the workforce in exchange of others working less (and earning less).

Companies have to understand that instead of mainly targeting the head buyers / CxOs reps in the companies they have to target the ones that really understand and work with their product. As big company investions have to be justified, CxOs can no longer buy what they want without justification.

They have to sell the quality of their products to the users which will then convince the CxOs who are going to do the investment.

What I can say is that SAS allows you to get quicker at visualisations and analysis without actually knowing what you are doing. R requires you to think before and ask the questions you would like to get from the data.

No example how it looks like?

> The language handler plandl is a DLL written in C, which calls a C++ function, which in turn uses COM to start up the CLR runtime and load the Andl Postgres entry point. Similar capabilities can be provided for Mono

Seems like a lot of boilerplate
