I think the reference is to gmail, where Google famously placed ads based on the email's content and not search.

I see descriptions of how amazing the company is as being largely fluff. Every company thinks they're cool and amazing. Sort of like how every candidate thinks he/she is a 'great problem solver' and 'team player&#x2

Please no. It isn't the state's job to save us from ourselves. More and more of our rights are slipping away because we need to protect the children. If you're asking how can we dave the most lives, you're asking the wro

Where's the ceo and board in all of this. Someone must actually care about the bottom line.

It's an interesting experiment, but is that realistic? It sounds like the test account just followed the first n things recommended, then the next n, then the next. Sort of like the game where one clicks the first link in the wikipedia

I actually think the quote exonerates facebook. 3 million hours per year is a lot. There's always going to be something objectionable, even if we could agree on what constitutes objectionable. Facebook is getting pulled in different di

IMO the solution is simple: if you give an exception, everyone gets it. You don't need to prove your beliefs are bona-fide. That's just not something we want employers or the courts getting involved in.

The Satanists are a perfect poison pill to overbroad exemptions. They have all ready staged a figurative middle finger to religious carve-outs with their 10 commandments protest (disguised as a Moloch statue, of course). 'Oh, I thought

This is a great example of poor market/customer fit. He was giving what he thought was needed, not what was actually needed. Small-scale iterations and testing could have discovered these issues. Instead he wanted to make a big splas

I have been in the position of interviewing (though not hiring) internal applicants, and I certainly never regarded it oioe that. Its reaooy no different than regular hiring, where everyone is probably okay and we somewhat arbitrarily try t

I think it's okay to mention the effect Amazon is having without blaming them. Ultimately online person-to-person trading is making fencing items easier and the people buying probably don't know they are purchasing stolen items. A

Well I agree. It is the misrepresentation that gets them in trouble. The reason I bring it up is that it's a good test of what will happen if we do legalise drugs. So the claim is that there were a bunch of so-called pain clinics, bu

When I looked at this a year ago, I ran across this article which I saved: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra1507771 > Although published estimates of iatrogenic addiction vary substantially from

Yes, there are thousands of people who got addicted without any history of co-morbidity of addiction. But as a portion of people who were prescribed, they are small. Remember we are talking about a drug that had 245 million prescriptions in

The media has lied about opiods. Most people who take opiods do not get addicted. And most people who are addicted did not start with a legitimate prescription--they started using it as an illicit drug.

So when we legalize all drugs because 'the drug war isn't working' (something I agree with) who do we sue then? I just think the public is overly reactive to whatever problem is at hand. When the drugs are causing crime we wa

I dont see it working any differently than piracy. If people can hack the bytecode to appear as though the game has received a valid key, I dont see why they cannot do the same for these restrictions.

Hey sorry about the downvotes. I want you to know I appreciate the response. So if the criticism were simply his comments (which I dont even know what they were, but let's just say they are disqualifying) there wouldn't be an issu

Sure. Nothing wrong with that in itself. The issue I have is that he associates the choice of a white man with 'substantial lack of awareness of recent cultural history and the coming of age our institutions'. And in case you were

That is a shocking amount. Consider that google purchased YouTube for less than 2 billion. And while I know YouTube wasnt the behemoth then, I find it hard to believe that it is only worth 1 month of google being the default. And only for m

Yea so the Lebowski one was the only one I really agree with, and even that's is a stretch. We have to believe that the title is actually mistepresenting the genre... Maybe but it's still liated as a comedy. The other 2 examples d

I am not sure I understand what clickbait actually is. It seems to be a term a lot of people use, but in many different ways, and often in a 'I know it when I see it' sort of way. The author claims that basically any sexiness cons

I despise discord. It's bloatware. It has constant popups that are difficult to disable. I do read their tech posts on HN, and they are always fascinating. But it seems to me like a product that the MBAs have taken a over.
