Netanyahu finally speaks his mind
At his Friday press conference, the prime minister ruled out full Palestinian sovereignty, derided the US approach to Israeli security, and set out his Middle East overview with unprecedented candor. His remarks were not widely reported; they should be

So try to eat as naturally as you can and in moderate amounts is the healthiest for us. It's about time we acknowledged there are no magic bullets and no one easily scapegoated food. Just be sensible. How fucking hard is that?

If I Could Do My Marriage Over Again, This Is What I'd Do
If you're really contemplating divorce, take the time to think about all the consequences. Think about how your partner will feel, and how you will feel. Think about what you're leaving behind and ask yourself the tough questions.

Blockbuster is an example of how a company can kill itself by squeezing their customers for everything they are worth. When you make your customers hate you, you will eventually be abandoned by your customers. This is especially true if your business model is outdated technology. When Comcast finally implodes, I'll be as sorry to see it go as I was to see Blockbuster fail.... not at all. Good riddance to short-sighted, predatory companies. May their executives rot in hell.

The average person is really terrible at managing other people. It takes developed skill, experience, and a certain amount of talent to be a good leader/manager. Most of the mods are just average people with the managing skill set typical of the average person (i.e. - next to none) so it isn't any wonder reddit is becoming a cesspool.

This is an excellent article. Most people really suck at listening and it screws up a lot of attempts at communication and conflict resolution.

USPTO is a case study in idiocy in action and shame on Amazon for even applying for such a stupid patent.

Exactly. They have too much money and don't know what to do with it so they bought a company that is just a version of themselves. Apple's long but steady decline has begun.

First off, you guys and gals who design snapzu have always been simply amazing at slick visuals. I'm hard pressed to think of many other sites who do what y'all do as well as y'all do it. Even the inevitable glitch are few and far between. Your team always does a super excellent job.
I have one suggestion about something I've always found somewhat confusing. To me, there seem to be too many "rankings" of stories on the front page. You rank the popularity of snaps by size, position, color, and vote count. The amusing part is that sometimes these different ranks seem to contradict each other. I suggest hiding the vote count until you hover. It's too conspicuous and distracts from the pictures which are the main draw of the front page. I also suggest changing the color bar for the snaps back to the original idea of having it indicate a topic area. It was cool to scroll through to see that all the yellows were tech related (or whatever the old color used to be). Having the color indicate the primary subject area provides more useful info than the current system of indicating popularity. Let the position/size handle showing us how popular something is.
Other than having too many ways of ranking popularity (especially when they appear to contradict each other), I think the changes are great. Keep up the good work!

According to an Amnesty International employee interviewed by The Guardian, the defense in the execution cases were not allowed to present evidence or call witnesses, and many of the accused were not in court. And then of course there are questions regarding how hundreds of people can be equally culpable in the death of one individual.
wtf?

I think if everyone knew how old-school and ad-hoc the government is... well... there'd be a lot of surprised people. But I think that's true for the majority of companies too. It isn't that it's amazing how the sausage is made... it's that it even works at all.

What's interesting is that this is how the internet was when it first started. Groups of knowledgeable people getting together and doing work for free that benefited everyone. It made the internet special. The fact that these types of collaborations are dying out is sad but to be expected when corporations, governments, and basically anyone with an interest in money get involved with something new and cool.
