I find it interesting that the value of the ~18% of market share is $15B to google. I'm sure there's a further breakdown to ascertain the value of a single user.

The problem here is that if there was one single company that wanted to exit the standard approach and create less engaging content they would be more likely to fail. The companies that are creating content which optimises to the most engag

I've got to say that this is a problem with relying on the UI itself. When working with a development team I always provide as many options as possible to automate that worklflow. This might take the form of integrating bitbucket with

I ask myself, is there a School of Russian Math but for adults? I don't mind starting with the basics at all.

I'm in exactly the same position at the age of 40. I've attempted to memorise the times table to no avail. It seems to me one of those things that you need to know cold. And then from there you can look at other things. To me math

It makes good business sense. As a platform you want to maximise the number of purchases an individual user makes. They might have found out that the average user will buy one or two of the inferior versions before finally buying the origin

Similar to how broadband is charged? On the flipside of that, energy users could also have their energy throttled based on the number of consumers in the household. You have x energy credits as part of the package, if you don't want to

The line I draw in the sand is that of thinking that work _is_ the place where one should talk about social issues. To my mind it most certainly is not. Everyone in that organisation has been employed to a single end (hopefully) to create a

One of the major issues I've seen while working with large organisation on software development is one of mindset. These are organisations who predominantly think: "We are an 'x' organisation that happens to develop soft

I would absolutely love to work _for_ my country as it were. And you're right the salary packages aren't great. There are arguments as to this kind of thinking "You should be thankful you are working for your country" et

This seems like the exact use case for an ILO. An Initial Legal Offering I was reading about that will now be easier for defendants to access. The linked service allows you to use the blockchain to stake your currency against the legal proc

I wonder what the opposite of that is. Is there text that’s so well written that it’s like looking at silk flowin through the air?

I’m someone who never really internalised nor had use for any arithmetic, let alone mathematics, at all in life. And yet I see mathematics like this and I’m blown away at the apparent beauty of it. I look at equations I just _want_ to under

A much larger number of much smaller bubbles whose edges didn’t touch each other. Now we have a few large bubbles who insist that the smaller bubbles become part of them or else...

This deserves far more attention. Perhaps even a post on its own. Ever since the rise of the attention economy I've felt more and more disillusioned with the way the internet of information has evolved. With each of us being a commodit

Is the person in the car moving away from or towards Andromeda? The example you gave can be interpreted two ways and my intuition tells me that the example is only true in the case that the car is moving _away_ from Andromeda. Is it also, w

On passing around objects, would the gravity wave create an interference pattern that we would be able to detect given enough detectors? Also I feel that sentence structure is horrible. If anyone can offer alternatives that are easier to re

As a couple of other commenters have already mentioned, a CoC seems to be equivalent with an HOA. Is the best option just to not engage with an authoritarian organisation?

A few comments (if memory serves from my earlier reading of this thread) the faculty job market is a pyramid. With the number of people exiting the pyramid being very high due to the few positions at the top. Is there another structure that

Does this mean that space time is ‘bent’ and objects follow an apparent parabola along that bend, or that space time is flowing towards a mass and the object is following a straight line on a ‘moving’ space time?

A knife is a tool and a weapon. We teach our children to be careful with such things. At large social scales we really don’t have the education to talk about implementations of technology and whether they are dangerous or not. For example:

As a proposal, would consciousness not come about once a species starts becoming _maladapted_ to its environment? As the population dies out only those with consciousness and... I hesitate to say... smarts survive. This would have to happen
