My problem with paper is that I can't keep up with paper. I will lose it several times a day, and inevitably, I will lose it permanently after a year or two. I need the sync and findability that an app on a device affords.

Yes, I realize that is the contract. But are they allowing their view counts to be audited by an unbiased 3rd party? I wouldn't be surprised if they are using "Hollywood accounting" to calculate those revenue shares.

and then, after all that bad leadership and bureaucracy, one of the top executives (Schmidt) blames google's lost lead in AI on the workers who don't want to work anymore and are just concerned with getting all the perks and work

75 cows is a small hobby farm. I can only speak to beef cattle, it's possible that dairy cows are much more maintenance, but for beef cattle, basically no one needs any kind of tech help to keep track of the health of 75 heifers and co

yes, according to Google, that's the split. But you are relying on Google to correctly report the revenue and correctly report which videos it should be attributed to. How sure are we that Google is being honest with how they are handl

Something interesting that I think will come of this is that Google will no longer be able to pay companies like Apple for their default. The $20B a year they pay Apple accounts for about 20% of their net profit. I'm confident Apple wi

I'm sure, like anything, there is incentive and opportunity to manipulate the numbers. but I don't think it would be easy to do without being found out. Police precincts do a lot of paperwork and behind any statistics, they are go

the jury is still out on whether COVID originated from a lab. it seems very possible, but there is still little evidence that proves it was created in a lab.

Sadly, they discontinued Mindstorms a few years ago. Though, I'm sure you can still buy used/new kits from 3rd parties.

I would much rather Stripe had bought it than PayPal. I'm still mad that they purchased Braintree and ruined it.

you can order through Alibaba, but there are so many suppliers and not all are reputable, so it's a good idea to search around on some of the solar forums for recommendations.

Regardless of whether you think vaccines should be required or not, the mRNA COVID vaccines have objectively proven to be both safe and effective. Though not as effective as everyone would have liked at reducing spread, it certainly reduced

I think your assessment of the efficacy of masks is a bit facile. From what I understand, most airborne viral particles will tend to float on aerosolized matter, much of which is over 2.5 microns. Filtration is a statistics game and so is

if you have a bowl of candy on your desk, do you eat more or less than usual?

it's certainly not a bad economy right now. Record low unemployment, record high stock market prices. Inflation is back to reasonable rates. Prices are inflated, but that alone does not define the economy.

I mostly agree, but I would like to see the full context of the hitman stuff. My understanding is that it was a law enforcement plant that encouraged him to hire a hitman and then referred him to one, which was of course also a plant. Still

I would never trust a drive bought on eBay or Amazon unless I could verify the specific seller. There are a lot of Samsung fakes out there.

the simplest explanation for what spinrite does that I have heard is that on spinning rust drives, it simply tries to access the same bad data over and over until it finally (sometimes) gets a result. which makes sense that it would work (s

I suppose on a very complex system, that could be a big deal. But I think the last site I did it on was running on AWS so all ports were closed unless I specifically opened them for a specific purpose and it was just a few tweaks I had to m
