I sincerely doubt it. How many people keep open 50+ tabs, or open a page and walk away? I'm sure that time spent on a page, if it's given any weight, is given barely any. I'm sure returns to search to click a new link is a mu

I don't remember anyone ever saying that Google was promising strong AI? Just another case of wishful thinking by someone who doesn't like how the web works in practice?

Worse than that, there are rumors that he is relaunching a new company using the infamy he earned from crashing MoviePass into the ground. https://www.mediaplaynews.com/moviepass-founder-seeks-to-cre...

Agree. If anything, it made it seem like they don't really understand anything about MoviePass, or why it failed, or even what they were trying to do. It's like opening your example with saying you're going to talk about why

The article doesn't appear to know much about the real MoviePass story. In fact, the thing that the author suggests that they should have done was their actual business strategy: ramp up customer growth using other people's mone

Others have said it but it bears repeating: Entitled No interviews? No fixed hours? Maximum 10 hours per week? He'll refuse to do anything he doesn't think is interesting? Who would even want to hire someone like this.

That guys take was garbage. Do you really believe that github is required to solve police facial recognition issues before they do anything else? Why is Github on the hook for that? They have nothing to do with it.

I believe that the "unreasonable restrictions" are that the user needs to click "I accept" when they enable sideloading and see a scary warning.

If you go on Facebook and say "Hey, I'm going to go shoot up a school on twitch tomorrow", then Twitch can ban you. Previously, it was unclear that this was bannable because it didn't occur on site. Phrasing this as an a

This is not a conflation. Think it through: Google Play, YouTube, Google Music... these all perform advertising. And then look at the actual parent article that we're talking about. It's all about how YouTube Kids includes too man

If someone is a fiction writer, we shouldn't care what they have to say? Sure. Then let's agree his quote is worthless. But I'd still argue the opposite. This is a fiction writer who obviously is listened to. He's famo

The problem you have is that you created a Family Link account and thereby told google that your child was under 13. This is intended to meet legal liabilities, and the most egregious helicopter parents needs. And due to the Childs Online P

Are we going to offer a "bonus" to drivers that offer to drive old people, because they may take a little longer to get in the car? If the difference between profit and ruin is an extra 60 seconds for someone to sit down, then may

No. Because he opens his thought with saying that "Atheism" doesn't exist. Atheism isn't a rejection of "yearning" or "reverence". It's a rejection of religion. He's just playing word games,

The community has to choose where to spend money. So, they want a lifeguard because swimming makes life more enjoyable to live. That's fine. But saying something like "life is priceless" or worth millions or whatever, that&#x

by ggggtez 6y ago
That's silly. If we want to look at it in a purely utilitarian view, you could spend $8M per year and spend that on doctors and nurses, or EMT. Swimming is a calculated risk. While I appreciate what life guards do, that doesn't ne

By that sort of reasoning, when a nation rolls tanks into your borders, you should just let them do it because more people would die if you fight back. If a nation actually did that (release a bioweapon and pre-immunize their own citizens).
