I thought Hellboy was a bad movie, because it’s more tell than show. I think voiceover is appropriate in special cases like Dexter’s inner monologue, because it shows separation of his public and private persona. I wouldn’t mind exposition

I read less books than when I was school age. I have a couple that are sitting in Books app that I read a few pages at a time. I think the “problem” is twofold: 1) phones are too much 2) too many books 1: using a book used to be easier tha

I like my Netatmo. I see that it costs $200 on Amazon for main module + you can connect 3 additional ones for other rooms — they cost $86 each. It shows CO2 (notifies when it's high on smartphone), temperature, relative humidity and no

I'm not a techie, but I think iOS already has similar technology: Camera detects faces, Photos can recognize people and objects (or cats) — all with help of AI (or ML). I think they are just expanding this and combining with "shar

I don't think so. I've read it is removed from app stores in Iran and China. A few other countries like Egypt try to block it.

I guess it would be a win for Android - if Signal is removed from AU app store and/or blocked by local ISPs (like in Russia), the way would be to sideload and use VPN.

I bet they have some visualization to show in court in case of a discrimination lawsuit. Also why bother with discrimination if your goal is profit increase?

It protects the company when you fire minorities, because you do it base on data. It's like proving that you've bought stock fairly (not according to insider information) by showing research.

I wonder what would the body of this recommendation be? "Worked poorly by our standards, but maybe will be more enthusiastic in your company. Otherwise great dude (AI-rated at 78% "great" and 87% "dude")"

I gathered that he finds his business special and lucrative, especially by his native city standards. I think he presumes that even a "bad" employee at his company will find a nice spot in a more ordinary one.

I have a software idea that can change the world a little and I could use help. As for your question: I think building a company that makes a lot of money requires a vision. If you are very good at making software maybe employment at a weal

But isn't it a different license like consumer vs business? I mean when OEMs are used for pre-built PCs or when it's activated by end user.

I've read that these cheap OEM licenses could be cancelled after some time. Dunno if true or not. Could you give a link for EU courts' rulings?

I think it’s similar to analogue vs digital filmmaking. Analogue is harder to do, but can be uniquely amazing.

I agree in some respects. It's hard to leave Google and Facebook because their accounts are used to login to other sites and services. Also when you buy apps and switch mobile OS you don't have a right for a free copy of this app

They don't have an ownership right on attention. Railway company might have some unique long term lease on the land. Each user can extract their data with takeout, delete account and if they must – use another service.

I'd say not monopoly, but anticompetitive behaviour like leveraging company's size, reach and cash to "forcefully" acquire competitors.
