Good insight. I think what might help them a little bit, however, is that the features they're sure to add in the coming weeks are known commodities at other networks, so people will already be aware of the value the features add, such

Love Soulver. It's such a well-made app. My problem is that I use it so infrequently that I often forget I have it.

Small world. I, too, attended that event in Chicago and it's there that Twitter was the buzz and I first created my Twitter account, nearly 15 years ago.

That's a clever approach to the situation.

Correct. This is the law in the United States. But would it apply to someone working outside of the United States?

by deepfriedbits 4y ago
Absolutely. Comments are sometimes critical around here and could maybe arrive softer but this is one of the few remaining spots on the internet to read largely civilized, high-value discourse on a topic and related context.

Can't imagine this is a practical solution.

Sure. It is presently.

Snapstream employs similar tech. It's how shows like The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight can quickly and easily find segments where certain words or phrases are used on television.

I appreciate your positive reply. We could all honestly use more of that.

What? How do you make that leap? The Taliban were infamous for this type of stuff well before 9/11 or OBL's capture.

Eh you can say as much in a more delicate way – deliver every one of those points. I’m not going to feel bad for thinking we can all be nicer to each other.

by deepfriedbits 5y ago
I think you make very good points but wonder if you could have softened the delivery a bit.

My hunch is that Shopify is seeing surges in some areas because Amazon has been picked over for many items and can no longer adequately stock what consumers are looking for in some cases. Many small Shopify retailers have pivoted quickly an

It really is impressive. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif of the Kansas City Chiefs is a similar story. He completed med school and his residency while playing football at the highest level. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl

The beauty (curse?) of his case is that it will likely be a long time until we know for sure. If he’s half as smart as a lot of people give him credit for being, it will take even longer to get to the answer.

Different agency, though, right? NASA’s ethos predates the Matt Taylor situation.

It is steep. Not saying it will make a huge impact but I’d be surprised if they didn’t sell 10-ride, weekend, monthly, etc. passes at a discount.

Chicago has 11.4 miles of underground subway tunnels in use. That's larger than what is described as Cincinnati's abandoned subway in the article.

Chicago certainly has a subway. Sure, only a portion near downtown runs underground, while the rest is elevated (the L) but their system is the second-largest in the US.

Seems like a nice feature for something like Little Snitch.

Wikipedia says 200M (which is still an insane number). Typo in the parent comment?

Reminds me of Zuckerberg's famous quote about Twitter: "... a clown car that fell into a gold mine."

Every hotel I've stayed at in China that caters to Westerners had a VPN in place. You could check your Gmail at the hotel but not outside of it (unless you had your own VPN).

Really love Bryson's writing style. He manages to convey a lot of information in a way that makes it easy to consume. Great rec.

Great point about Firebug. I can definitely remember using Chrome for pleasure and Firefox for work for a time.
117.
by deepfriedbits 10y ago
Interesting. My memory is probably hazy, but for me, Chrome took off because the choices at the time were IE and Firefox, which used to be an insane memory hog.

Twitter's real value to Google is real-time search, in my opinion. They already license results from Twitter for search results, but having access to all of that sweet, sweet real-time data is nice. The social graph is nice, but betwee

> Also the Google+ API is still read-only. Which means you can only use Google's official tools for posting content. There's no way for example to cross-post on both Twitter and Google+. Apps like TweetDeck aren't possibl

Nukes were strongly considered during the Korean War due to the massive number of Chinese fighting on the side of the aggressors in that war. MacArthur wanted badly to nuke China or more specifically, Chinese divisions and the threat of nuk
