I think it's pretty clear that "trending" videos are manipulated. I've seen a video with 10k views and five times more dislikes than likes show up in trending.

I loved the first part of it but there was a time skip in there somewhere and I completely lost interest. I never finished it.

I canceled mine last year sometime, whenever it was they announced the most recent price increase. I thought I would miss it but I haven't really. I don't mind waiting a bit longer for the standard free shipping. In the rare occas

Mark Zuckerberg is appointed by Mark Zuckerberg. He controls a majority of voting rights in the company. If he wanted to he could completely ignore all other shareholders and there isn't a whole lot anyone could do about it.

They're doing this more and more in the Gmail Android app as well. First there were no ads. Then they added ads to the top of the mail list. Now they're interspersing ads between emails. I finally switched to K-9 because of how in

I recently used AAXtoMP3 to back up my Audible library. It worked quite well.

I don't know about Oakland but in Minneapolis the city will pay for damage caused by potholes. They are also very quick to patch roads after the spring thaw, normally within a day or two.

I set up a daily script to download new videos from channels I like using youtube-dl. It works really well, I rarely visit the actual YouTube site anymore.

It works great. With a 1070 as my video card I'm fairly certain the processor is not a bottleneck.

I think Seveneves could work as a movie, and actually be good. I don't know how they'd handle the story "transition" though.

I put a 2700X in my most recent desktop and a 2400G in my HTPC. For the price they can't be beat.

He's hilarious. I don't know how he puts out such high quality content so often, nearly every weekday. There's always something weird or interesting to talk about, and he does a great job of breaking down the complexities in

I've been using Firefox for ages, probably 2003 or 2004? When Chrome came out I gave it a try and it was neat, but it didn't have several crucial extensions so I stuck with Firefox.

How would a statistic like this be calculated? We can talk to people who were going to commit suicide, encountered an obstacle, and decided not to. How can we determine how many people decided to commit suicide, encountered an obstacle, and

I think part of it is that Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain (well, mostly, some specific story points are still off limits). Anyone can create a Holmes story in any medium and profit from it.

Windows on an SSD is pretty amazing when it comes to boot time. My computer spends more time on the BIOS splash screen than it does booting Windows.

That's been the case for ages, I've seen it across many sites. When it's discovered a site is distributing malware through ads they'll wring their hands and say they aren't responsible for the content their site dis

The variance is tricky because of the enormous time range and the huge number of variables. It's also impossible to account for any black swans, positive or negative, that might happen in the next 80 years. We have no idea if some mira

It's kind of a running joke. Any "in-game" footage shown at a conference like E3 is almost guaranteed to be running on a high end modern PC even if the game itself will be released on a five year old console.

I'm still salty about EA getting the exclusive NFL license. NFL 2K5 was a better game than Madden and they made the ballsy move of selling it for $20 brand new the day it came out. EA got so spooked they spent who knows how much lockin

Always on cell modems are eventually going to be installed in most electronics and it kind of terrifies me. I only want a handful of internet connected devices in my home and at some point that won't be possible. I can keep my "sm

Hanging can be pretty gruesome. In an "ideal" hanging the condemned is dropped from a height that snaps their neck and kills them fairly quickly. Drop too far and they can be decapitated, drop too short and they strangle to death.

I've noticed the opposite on #2, especially in the last year or so. I've been solving a lot more captchas than I used to. I run Firefox with a lot of privacy focused add ons and I don't stay logged in to Google, I wonder if t
