Just curious: how is this any better than an analog circuit (possibly an IC) solving the same problem?

The article does mention that they studied subjects who had their "first episode of psychosis". You could still argue a person predisposed to psychosis can become a cannabis user as self-treatment even before their first episode h

True, and the English one is not a literal translation. I wish though the English version had a greater quality.

No wait, those aren't the same URLs actually if you look at them. So that explains it ;)

Timing and luck. It is more important though that a good link eventually gets the exposure it deserves.

I think the primary suspect today is app analytics platforms, especially the free ones like Facebook's and Google's. Just looking at how e.g. Intercom pulls additional data about users that your app didn't provide (full name,

Oh please, not the Knuth's "principle" again. Optimization is a skill, it's not evil. A skilled engineer can build sufficiently good systems without wasting much extra time on optimizations.

Exactly, that's non-EU just like the UK is about to become.

Or a shortcut for non-technical people: outline.com. Works perfectly even on most paywalls, not just annoying popups.

Doesn't always work though, some web sites also manage to block scrolling of the main content which may not always be easy to figure out (esp. on messy web sites with megatons of JavaScript code, HTML and CSS). And surely there are bro

I'm sorry but you keep lecturing everyone here how big and sophisticated the ad industry is. Nobody denies it, no doubt there are billions in circulation and no doubt you can build something and sell it upstream to one of the giants (n

Interestingly enough, both Oculus and Pebble were started by sole founders. Others even though officially titled "co-founders" joined later if I'm not mistaken.

Skimmed through the sample translation and to my surprize not everything said there was as obvious as I was expecting it to be. Thanks!

It's not just a one-off gamble but more likely a plan to become the world's offshore and money laundering heaven. Well, relatively of course. This is why the emphasis in the early Brexit debate was on decoupling the country from t

Good question, but I think the pay-per-click model should solve it?

I like DDG, but claiming that their ads are based only on keywords is just not true. They are at least also based on location. I just tried "dishwasher" and it brings up ads in French from local stores. But this is natural, becaus

Don't think so, no. Making the Maps Search more sensible requires the app to know the current location which it does anyway, plus maybe your search history. I'm sure a lot of people would give Apple permission to store search hist

Search is never easy and Google has raised the bars in a lot of small ways so high that you have to be a search company to match the level. Apple is not a search company, it's not in their DNA as they say. Look at App Store search (and

Agreed, generally class factories make little sense in languages where a class reference lives at run-time in some or other form. Even some static languages have this, e.g. ObjC. I would even go with a broader generalization and say that ex

Another personal observation. I have an Instagram account that I thought was fully incognito. I never connected it to any other social account, I used a separate email for authentication etc. Just days after the Instagram founders left Face
