@D20Nat1 This is true, and yet only a small percentage of people given this type of offer tend to agree to it. Which will also relate to who is being offered, how much time and effort is being requested in return, and who is offering.

@ishyamo Good Q. Generally I personally don't look for payment when assisting with research. For me it was just that Amazon was a deterrent in this case, as I realise how much will go there. But I do believe it's fair to reimburse people for their efforts, depending perhaps on context.
“[…] Can we interview you? To thank you for your time and insights, you'll get a $50 Amazon gift card. 🎁”
Honestly, I don’t believe that offer is as enticing as research teams seem to think it is.
And for me, it has the exact opposite effect. ☹️
To be clear: it's pushing money towards Amazon on my behalf, and as part of the research project on many people's behalf, that I would take issue with. It's fair to reimburse people for putting in time and helping out.

@vdignum Excellent stuff Virginia! Will add this to my ethics course curriculum. You're so on target with the complexities.
@vdignum With regards to the reproducing robots I was wondering who was buying filaments for the 3d printer 😅
If you work with web in any way you should set aside time to read this.
The @w3c's "spirit of collaboration has been under intense strain as the W3C has become a key battleground in the war over web privacy".

Are you using "tip of the iceberg"-diagrams in your presentations and explanations? It's very likely you're getting the physics all wrong and your tip may find itself under water.
Just published on my blog: The topple of an iceberg: You're drawing it wrong. https://axbom.com/iceberg/
With a link to the simulator, promising hours of fun.
Just published: The topple of an iceberg: You’re drawing it wrong.
It turns out all those "tip of an iceberg"-drawings are giving the wrong idea.

@imdoinfine Fixed now. With regards to stopping at two monitors I didn’t want to scare people even more than I already do 😂
↪ Replying to @unknown
@Hilaryonline Anytime. 😊 Long time no see. Just want to say I am loving everything that is coming out of @Nexer_Digital and the work you’re doing (which I think I mostly catch up on on LinkedIn). So much positive impact.
↪ Replying to @imdoinfine
@imdoinfine Right, thank you! I've forgotten to update that part. This was something Apple released after I originally wrote that post.
Will fix immediately.

Heads up I’ve moved my page with techniques and tools for teaching online to my blog.
I have too many spaces for publishing. So I am trying to consolidate but also make content more accessible.

Dagens industri fortsätter att lura in sina kunder i långa, dyra avtal. De försöker också luras när man vill avbryta avtalet. Har fått flera som meddelat liknande upplevelser som denna. Två år senare och fortfarande inga medier som vill granska Di gällande deras kundhantering. Vi det här laget har jag hört från kundtjänst-personal som själva ogillar sättet de arbetar på.
===== kommentar på axbom.se =====
"Jag ringde DI imorse och fick ett tydligt nej att det inte gick att säga upp pga att jag har haft möjligthet innan bindningstiden att gå ur abonnemanget men inte kan göra just nu.
Sedan skickade jag följande mail och då hjälpte de mig att säga upp abonnemanget.
Hej!
Mitt kundnummer är : xxxxx och min epost är xxxxxxxx
Jag vill avsluta min prenumeration omgående eftersom jag inte skriftligt gett mitt godkännande till att ni får sätta mig i 12 månaders bindningstid för ert abonnemang.
Jag hänvisar till denna artikel: https://axbom.se/dagensindustri/ Som visar att ni inte tillräckligt tydligt informerat mig om hur jag ska ge mitt godkännande och vad som gäller angående bindningstiden.
Om ni inte kan hjälpa mig kommer jag behöva ta detta vidare via ARN och konsumentverket.
Vänligen Fredrik
Deras svar:
Hej,
Vi gör ett undantag för dig och kringgår bindningstiden - din prenumeration är nu avslutad per 2021-07-15
Kundservice Di-gruppen Dagens industri | Bonnier Business Media"

Det har gjorts många "undantag" det senaste året.
