My only interpretation is that google is using a intentionally narrow definition that is misleading. I could certainly be wrong, but it seems preposterous to me to claim that google never uses information related to users clicking through t

Lucky for you, FB doesn't care about PCVR either. They are clearly all-in on untethered consumer devices. PCVR will remain for the enthusiests with various smaller companies providing more impressive headsets than FB.

Sure, but how? What physical processes are being used? Most of us can understand how hot fision encased in water turns to steam and runs a steam engine (even if the reality is still quite complex). But how does the thin-plasma get converted

I realize you didn't invent these terms, but is kW/h the right metric? A plain reading of the units provided suggests 700 grams of CO2 is released every hour for every kW generated, but that seems unlikely. Where does the per hour

I don't have links handy but Sweeny directly addressed this. Sony and Microsoft are willing to negotiate with Epic. They get to find a middleground that both sides are happy with. Apple does not negotiate, a developer that has $5 in sa

I'm no expert, but is that really a consideration for modern launches? I'm not aware of any space agency that is currently limited in what they can do by orbital debris. Maybe it changes the launch windows, or they adjust an orbit

IMO the solution is at least releated to ranked choice voting, where people can vote for people that will never win (at least this time around) without their vote becoming meaningless.

I'm sure I have a biased view, but i hear people care about privacy in the same way they care about leaving facebook. They would like to, in a purely theoretical manner, but they aren't willing to change anything about their life

Gold bullion has a healthy market to sell back into though.I don't know the numbers, but i wouldn't be surprised if I could easily sell gold for 80% of "market" value, whereas probably closer to 20% for something like Ir

the lights are actually what cause the crash. Some drivers just drive straight into the lights. This is part of why police, at least around here, have particular protocols around how far they stop behind a car, and never standing between th

It may not be open source, but it still offers much of what I think is important. Development is done in the open, very much following the bazaar model. Users of the software are free to read, modify, and release forks/patches of the s

Can you tell us about your scoring function? Selecting 40M results from a dataset of ~1B and returning the top 10 based on some trivial scoring function is easy, any reasonable search system will handle that. The problem is when you have to

Sure, but I think it's more that it seems incredibly rare to write month/day without year in strictly numbers. In almost all cases i would write 15 Jun/15 Jul. I can't think of anytime i would intentionally write 15.06&#

Regarding the closing lines, focusing so specifically on stock buybacks is looking in the wrong place. Intel's goal was to give the money to the shareholders. Currently the most tax advantaged way to do that is with stock buybacks. If

Perhaps particularly interesting about this approach by AMD is that the typical memory on a CPU die isn't as dense as it can be, because of the processes they have to apply to the wafer to also build the CPU transistors. With AMD movin

The general idea is average people don't make 500k/yr. What they might do though is have a one time event that earns them 500k in a single year, like selling a small business or a house. In that one year where they finally did wel

Honestly, I have no clue what you are trying to say. Clearly we have different definitions of anti-semitism? To me anti-semitism is a form of racism. By definition being opposed to the political actions of a nation is not racism. It could h

Those mean completely different things to me. To me legalize it means there can be no punishment for the substance. Decriminalize it means sales and distribution are still illegal, the profits are still going to organized crime.
