As usual, the ad matching is just bizarre. I mostly pin knit & crochet patterns, beadwork patterns, and recipes. I get ads for bathing suits and bras, and sometimes shoes. None are remotely interesting.

I also get ads for women’s swimsuits and bras.
I am a hairy man. I would not look good in that stuff.

I look for crochet mostly, but also recipes. Maybe that’s why I get a lot of weight loss ads. They are less than interesting, because when I’m looking for a recipe, it’s never for diet food. I do wonder, though, if the advertisers think vegetable-forward or vegetarian equals “diet”.

Ye gods… I pinned one, ONE, vegan recipe, and it wasn’t super-healthy (melt chocolate chips and almond butter, stir in rice crisps, place in lined muffin tins to make sort of home made candy bars — great way to use up odds and ends of ingredients).
I got absolutely bombarded with vegan recipes for a long time after that. Sheesh. Cross reference people.

Is that also when they started doing the deceptive link redirection? I seem to remember a mythical time when clicking on a pinterest image took you to the image or at least the page it came from instead of another seemingly-random pinterest page. Since they started doing that it became extremely annoying, to the point of worse than useless.

Hm. I always put that down to clueless users. For instance, if you pin an image from a blog or tumblr when you’re reading the whole feed, the link will be to the top of the feed. You have to view just the one entry to link directly to the pist the image came from.

Conversely, that never happens to me, and I’d love to get more vegan ideas for the one kid I’ve got left at home who is, in fact, a vegan.

In an interview, Nirmal Mulye, Nostrum chief executive, said he had priced the product according to market dynamics, adding: “I think it is a moral requirement to make money when you can . . . to sell the product for the highest price.”

No, starting the next before you finish the last leads to a weird overlap where you’re living 2 days at once and that doesn’t work out well. Besides, you need to sleep sometime.

Going to McD’s isn’t good at the best of times.
Today is not one of those.

In college days of years gone past, I worked at a fast food restaurant. I still refer to that place as a den of inequity.
Nearly everyone was sleeping with everyone else in that wonderful cross section of young adult managers, college kids making a few bucks and high school kids working their first job.

The title of the article is irrelevant.
Immelt:
No Jeff. “Winning” to attract talent implies finding someone with talent willing to sell you the fruits of that talent, then lording it over other CEOs, complete with a pimp dance. You can’t “win” that talent in the sense of making it part of your organization for the forseeable future because when it comes to the technical details of highly specialized not-fault-tolerant-melt-and-explode technology like jet engines, winning is irrelevant.
Owning technology doesn’t mean you possess it. The talent you “win” are the people who actually possess the technology. When you give those people shit tools for building, selling, and maintaining technology, you expose how useful “ownership” isn’t.
