This comment doesn't make any sense. The critique was of the description of Project Veritas, not the facts of the case or anything else.

Hmm, I do think it matters though. Alot of people read news/articles on the web and then they'll be abandoned when they try to click through if they're on a desktop. Meta needs to figure out a web solution but it's not

I mean, I myself will never use a Meta product but most users don't care and this is what Meta's customers (advertisers) are paying for so I don't see any reason they won't succeed.

There was/is whitehat SEO: properly creating links to relevant content within a site, using keywords that help bots find relevant content, traversing your own site to make sure there aren't dead zones with content that will never

yeah, this seems like a mark to market change (the market just isn't paying as much as it used to) and is lagging by a few months. The impact of the blackout hasn't been quantified yet by investors and probably not even internall

Haven't logged into reddit in weeks - how is it these days?

At that point the numbers are so small that yes, the rule breaks down.

If they're unsuccessful they can declare bankruptcy and let the FDIC fund cover the gap. If they're successful they get big $$$!

DRM is fine if you're just renting the content ... but yes the consumer needs to know that DRM for buying is an (entrenched) anti-pattern.

Tethered to a desk is useful though for fixed assets where there are multiple users on the device (post-production studio, etc...).

Same thing for menu design. That $150 seafood tower??? That's just there to make the $47 steak ($5 extra for the au poivre sauce and $7 more for the creamed spinach) look like a deal. Sometimes people order the tower but it's ju

The typical formula is that it costs double a person's salary for the total budget. So really you're saying 5.5 years and 2 people is a low number so maybe you build a team of 4 and then the runway is an excruciatingly short 2.75

I have YouTube premium and overall probably spend $100/mo on digital content. What bothers me is that even when paying full price I'm getting giant banner ads on the top and a slower experience.

Yeah that really sketches me out because people log in to Youtube but that's their main gmail (or worse, google apps) account usually. I know Google probably requires re-auth if somebody tried to use that session token again from a di

ok - I thought you might be using one of the newer engines that allows one to add custom dimensions or exclude sites with wildcard lists (basically uBlock Origin 'score' for lack of a better word).

Do you have a search engine or other mechanism to make it easier to find these sites or is it just hunt and peck?

I can't downvote this enough. Sure, it's true that experience is the best way to learn but that method leads to alot of dead ends that society then has to deal with. Saying that parents can self-learn and self-evolve totally dis

Actually seems pretty strong and I really like that it's a memo and not a deck ( I guess that's the Amazonian in me speaking). Fundamentally they are aiming for billion dollar valuations and the company and the initial investors

That would probably be no-fault in most US states (meaning both people are at fault). Basically unless you are hard stopped, each driver has some fault in any given accident.

Actually US freight train system is ahead of EU. It's just the passenger system that's broken.

Here in Berlin plenty of people work on Sunday (service industry, gas stations) but all grocery stores are closed and the number of people working is significantly less than in NYC for instance. I like it this way ... but do kind of miss N

Reddit will take over the subreddits and a few moderators will lose their privs. About 25% of users will permanently leave. Reddit will go on but it won't be what it was unless the board takes drastic action but even then it's p

The proof will be in the pudding. Reddit will survive but unless they back down, alot of people will leave permanently. What surprises me is how lackadaisical the board appears to be - so much money is being left on the table. I would be

The problem was that almost nobody was saying the source 'might' have been a lab leak - they were saying that the source was 'definitely' a lab leak and then usually adding that Fauci sponsored gain of function research

I believe all Macs are fully recyclable with very little waste in the process. Repairability comes at a cost that most customers don't want to pay (any one of: more $$, heavier, thicker, more prone to breakage, etc...). In the end th
