This is a pretty cool technique but only one explanation is explored. What else could causing the dimming?

What do you do when you have close to 50/50 power dynamic and both sides think the other is stupid?

my system: 1. make sure you don't check all the time, set specific hours. 2. Skim, respond right away if possible. 3. If I didn't have time to respond or it was low priority i'd mark as unread. 4. If it was high priority and

The temporal color jitter is pretty bad, but the other processing seemed to crisp it up. Based on my watching two minute papers I have to guess they can do better on the temporal consistency of the color.

I agree that single sign on takes advantage of people not understanding what they give up when they choose FB/Google for SSO. What government policy could fix that? The fallback seems to be that people just re-use their email address

>You are assuming Facebook and the government are the same thing. (US I presume.) They are not the same. A government isn't a corporation. This is a totally different discussion. I'm saying that social media is a form of power.

The knee jerk reaction to this is likely one to push for regulation but I don't think that is the solution. We should keep in mind that we still have choice, we can choose not to use Facebook. That choice is likely to have a powerful

fair, but I had to lookup what ECS was so I though I'd save others a bit of googling.

You'd think so but they seem to be extorted the worst. Are the lawyer review sites run by lawyers?

The retailers are the obvious targets here but if you've ever searched for a lawyer you end up in a strange world of impossible distributions of reviews. This decision is typically much more critical than what fidget spinner you order
