The recommendation systems (i.e. Netflix) for movies and music are still just awful in terms of guessing my tastes. I still find that human based recommendations for things like music and movies consistently beat the algorithm at predicting

Of course but I don't think there's any debate about which side has been subjected to more propaganda over the years. Regardless this furthers my argument - that there is not enough research because of said propaganda for any clai

That's like saying Mississippi's republican policies have made it the poorest state in the country.

SF has problems like most major cities but your exaggeration is obviously ridiculous. Have you not traveled to 3rd world countries?

Can you blame them? Last time I checked ginger wasn't subjected to 70 years of war on drugs propaganda. Never heard of anyone thrown in jail for consuming ginger. Maybe people want to consume a drug without being labeled and stereotype

Quora is particularly annoying in this regard. I too refuse to sign in oftentimes when they force me to. When a service puts its core usefulness behind an unnecessary login then they are forcing me to sign in, they are not making me want to

High speed most certainly is a human right. The internet is now a necessary feature of everyone’s personal and professional life. It should be a human right and if governments were smart they would blanket their countries with free high spe

We have lawyers and industry execs to thank for that. They want to squeeze every less penny out of their content across the globe forever. It's ridiculous.

There is no comparison between paranoia from weed and a bad trip from mushrooms/lsd. One can leave you permanently mentally scarred and the other will make you paranoid for a few hours. I have stoner friends and lsd/mushroom frien

I have to disagree. While weed certainly can and does induce anxiety on occasion it is no where near as intense as magic mushroom trips. It’s not on the same level. A mushroom trip can leave you feeling refreshed regardless but if you have

Check out rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Brain stimulation has come a long way.

Another new and novel treatment for MDD is called rTMS or repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Its effects are probably more durable than Magic Mushrooms from the literature, up to a year or more in some cases from a single round o

Google’s different brands remind me of MSFT of the early 2000s. No rhyme or reason. More chaos and throwing spaghetti at the wall. No issues changing or deprecating APIs and products like this on a whim. They certainly dont inspire trust in

Even those hard and fast rules leave a lot of room for interpretation hence why many cases are decided in months and years and not days. Laws change and are updated all the time. I stand by my original assertion. Apple with its App store mo

I personally dont miss my nightmares of which I had many. In that sense I consider it a good side effect. It is one of the primary reasons I indulge.

Legal definitions change all the time and laws are updated. Monopoly means whatever the decision of the high court says it means and that is squared with the legislative. There are no hard and fast rules in litigation or civil law.

Out compete Apple? You cant be serious. Unless you have a phone that uses quantum entanglement to communicate at FTL no one is out competing Apple anytime soon.

I see. So Apple watches, iPads, and iPhones & other devices owning at least half the US market isn't a monopoly whatsoever? When does one qualify to become a monopoly? Must they own 90% of the market to be considered one? I wonder

by fjabre 7y ago
Please enlighten me. I would love to hear what your explanation of a monopoly is.
172.
by fjabre 7y ago
This 100%. Government needs to get involved. Apple is clearly using its monopolistic power as shield against any kind of accountability. Devs have absolutely no recourse against this monopoly.

Ah the joys of being subjected to a dictator's whim. Apple can do as it wants when it wants for any reason it wants to regarding that app you may have poured a year of your life into. Our profitable SaaS web app has 1000s of paying use

Yes but they are not all equally bad for you. This is not debatable. Its self evident. Cigarette smoke is not equal to pure tobacco smoke which is not equal to marijuana smoke. All these false equivalencies. Its irresponsible and flies in t

This gets on my nerves. There is a HUGE difference between cigarette smoke and weed smoke. There has never been a study linking marijuana smoke to cancer. Do your research before making off the cuff comments
