as you have asked for feedback -

I think there is a fundamental issue with the flow. The first step should be to choose the fundamental benefit the person is looking to achieve

Upper / Back / Lower / Cardio or similar high level categories that even novices can understand. I hesitate to say push pull or as this is industry specific

   Upper - I want a bigger chest or more defined shoulders
   Back - I want a wider back or a more defined back
   Lower - I want bigger glutes, defined abs, clearer separation between butt and legs, bigger legs
   Cardio - I want better overall stamina
Next how much time I have

Next equipment that I have

Next a visual representation on the skeleton of what this looks like in terms of targeting

Next excersizes

I have tried it here is my experience: I am new user, I login and begin to search for content:

Whatever I search for does not match the content on any tweet equivalent either the text or meta information - like hashtags. Only the content of the users name and words in their Bio.

This I can understand for instagram where the concept is based on a stream of pictures that will be released over time. But how do I find within content ? - like breaking news items?

Beyond duplicating the accounts you follow in instagram. This only serves to find and follow accounts built around a single concept. Or a named celebrity.

But it does not work at the moment as a tool to find anything based on the content within a thread (happening now, or around me, or an upcoming event or a specific programming code example) - isn't this the main value of these kind of tools? Find content that is important or interesting to you and then follow them to hear more.

Am I missing something fundamental?

I am British and worked in central London for years. The idea of owning an 800,000 apartment in central London was a ridiculous luxury. Most people that I worked with had to commute like me for 1-1.5 hours a day from outside London commuter towns into work (some way more than this). This was the nature of the beast. Is it "right" no. I just do not see how 800K GBP apartments are a) affordable and b) practical - it would be much better to focus on decent commuter links, subsidies for travel and affordable housing around London - than creating token affordable housing in the centre for the sake of it. If you do not like the commute then move to another city. I did for this exact reason.

“Every click is scrutinised in order to optimise profit, not to enhance a user’s experience.”

So identical to every modern digital business then....

The key part of this is whole thing is the mechanism of enforcement - at the ISP. To do this UK ISPs will need increased government controlled infrastructure operating within their ISP core networks. This to me sounds like post Brexit GCHQ wants to significantly increase the amount of access and control it has to all UK web browsing traffic...

Have a google for: "can i lie to a employer about past salary" - it really really messes with people - people feel super uncertain about how to approach this situation. Throwing any confidence they have during the negotiation out the window.

Even now I hesitate to write this as a million people will come out and say never lie - what if they found out.

More than banning. There needs to be acceptance that if someone asks you. You are totally free to make any damn number up that you like. Seriously. Its a sales situation. It should not be like your under oath on the stand. Which is how most people view it.

Hi,

Love the site especially the speed. But disappointed that the search indexes the name of the container of the torrent only and not the name of the files within the torrent.

To date the only site I know that does this is "filelisting dot com" but their website is very slow.

Do you have any plans to extend your product to add this feature. Maybe as a premium option?

Super useful to find single documents contained within archived bundles of files.

Google "bendy buses" the design they are proposing between segments is exactly the same as this. Nothing magical or gelatonus about it.

People will no doubt come on this thread and remind everyone that of course the government always had access - you must have been a fool not to think so. But I just can not get over how angry it makes me. Honestly I thought that using google products with some exploitation of the contents for advertising was an acceptable exchange. This is just a total betrayal and I cannot believe that the Google board is not aware of this! and if it is not it is because they choose to be!

This dude looses me half way through - I think that adults can compartmentalise and choose between international news and hobby tech news. And lets not forget that modern technology is freekin incredible and Apple is the premier brand.

You can buy and modify a Toyota Supra to go faster than a Ferrari for much less money. Thats why nobody buys Ferrari's - there is just no point. And people buying Ferraris are just stupid for wasting their money when they could have a Toyota Supra instead.

Love the idea of these cloud based services and I also like the idea of a content management app that does not want to try and take over your application. However outside of personal projects at work I am scared that these cloud based blackboxes at the heart of my applications will mean that I have no control of bad performance, releases of their software or unplanned downtime. I wish that people gave me the option for a self hosted solution as well as the cloud (that was not a ultra premium we do not bother listing it on the website package)... plenty of enterprises are still self hosting.

When I see this all I think is that these are the requests from lower level agents who have to fill in paperwork to get their data. I just cannot now believe that upper levels of the intelligence agencies do not have complete and total access.
