Why is Quora more popular than Yahoo Answers? What elements make it the more popular Q&A site?
A couple of years back, early 2015 I guess, I wanted to know about the basics of big data and its importance in industry.I googled “What is Big data”The first link popped up was Wikipedia - I opened in a new tab and set it aside.The second link was from Yahoo answers. I opened and was looking for some useful information.There were answers like:I was confused, irritated and most of the answers didn’t answer the question.The next link which popped was from Quora.I could find answers like this:Answer was by Balaji Viswanathan (பாலாஜி விஸ்வநாதன்) sir. That is the moment I followed him and read his other answers too! And that was the moment i decided not to refer yahoo answers for anything in future.Unlike Yahoo answers, Why was the answer better?It summed up all the information - technical explanation with real life examplesPictures made it easier for me to connect with answerThe credential “Ran a Big data company” made me believe the answer is from someone trustworthy.Upvotes and comments of appreciation from people in related field made me feel secured about the answerComments were healthy and was debating its future application.So, with no further discussions, Quora is always better than Yahoo answers.

How do I know if my Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient? I've already sent it without doing anything special; is it too late now? I've heard that Windows Outlook could do something like that. If so, how?
It is never too late to find out if your Yahoo! email has been read by the recipient. Send the recipient a second message, and ask if they received your first message, for example.Standard internet e-mail does not contain mandatory read receipts, so tracking if a message has been read relies on side-effects of reading the message. Sometimes, such side-effects are provided by the mail client software explicitly (e.g. Outlook allows viewers of messages to return a read-receipt, if the senders of the e-mail requested one), and other times such side-effects are provided implicitly (e.g. an HTML-format message being parsed that includes resources such as a CSS or image or JavaScript routine from another machine).You have already sent the e-mail message; if you retained a copy of this message, it can be analyzed to see if it contained any trackable elements, and then logs of the system which serves those elements may contain information allowing the deduction that a message has been read.Alternatively, if you have a legally compelling reason, then a suitable legal document (e.g. subpoena) may be served against Yahoo!, whereby their own logs indicating that the mailbox they host can be acquired to determine when the message you sent was fetched by any mail client. Note that this does not indicate that the messages was opened or read. However, depending again on the mail client software your recipient users, there may be logs that can be viewable that you can access (e.g. if the mail client is web-based, then the web server may have logged the request to view a particular mail message).

What has been the internal reaction at Yahoo to Marissa Mayer's no-work-from-home policy?
Another current and longterm Yahoo developer here, who is extremely happy that the WFH shenanigans are being put to an end. I too have seen this abused far too often, although IMO it's usually not by full time WFH, but more often the San Francisco city dweller who just happens to spend two, sometimes three, days of the week working from his house because "the commute to Sunnyvale is too tiring". Hey, clue people.. nobody made you live in San Francisco.A lot of the negative commentary from external sources has come from non-developers. People who work in solitary jobs doing rote-work with little need for new knowledge acquisition are fine candidates for WFH. In fact, the biggest complainers on the internal mailing lists seem to come from Operations types, which, given my general experience of Ops at Yahoo, unfortunately does describe their typical role -- a poor reflection on the way Ops has been managed at Yahoo.But developers, at least in my experience, understand there's a difference between working hard and working smart. Yes, you may be able to work hard at home and get a lot of coding done, but it doesn't help if you're coding something in an inefficient way because you didn't overhear the conversation at lunch about this neat new open-source library someone in your team found.Or, you decide to code up a new utility package at home, only to find someone else in your team has already done an equivalent, only you don't know about it because you were not in the office on the brownbag lunch day where they described it. I think (and studies show) full-time WFH people may be more "productive" in terms of raw output, but whether that output is the "most effective" output for the company/team is a whole 'nother question. The other shoe that I also expect is about to drop is a deliberate move to colocate project teams in the same office, rather than having distributed teams across different offices. The amount of time wasted going back and forth with 12 hour differences is a huge drain on everyone in a project. A recent high-profile project within Yahoo included physically relocating core (Yahoo pun intended) engineers from Beijing to Sunnyvale for 2 months to sit alongside the developers on the new personalized Frontpage. Expect to see more of this.
