Yeah, the video was shocker. It’s amazing that a company as powerful as Google can be so hopeless at PR, and it’s a shame in this case because I think they are in the right.

Google’s PR on this whole thing is a mess. There’s no explanation of how this fits in to their previous ads and videos that threatened to pull search from Australia. And even that was badly explained. I wish they would pick a stance and cle

I’m curious as to why Twitter chose to do this as an acquisition rather than build their own. It doesn’t seem particularly hard to build from an engineering perspective, and I doubt Twitter needs to acquire the Revue user base given their e

I think the difference is in how extensively you broadcast it. I like gardening, but I don’t care if nobody knows that I do. I think this is evidence that I’m not doing it for signalling reasons. So in that sense it’s falsifiable.

Could you explain in some more detail how you know you have lots of internal damage?

Yeah, the headline is very misleading.

I’m trying to understand this, do you mean that edges in the graph are not upvotes but rather A —> B means B voted similarly to A?

I don’t think this is the same. We’re not increasing influence based on the reputation/amount of upvotes of the user, but rather based on the similarity with known-good actors. The user might never post themselves, and therefore have n

In case others are wondering: > Q: Is this related to Bitcoin? > A: No. Satoshi Nakamoto is the pseudonym used by the person who created Bitcoin, but it’s not the same Satoshi. Weirdly this apparently pre-dates that other Satoshi puzz

As another point of comparison Apple Maps works very well in China whereas Google Maps is completely broken (even if you have the data offline the GPS location is usually wrong). Apple have obviously put a lot of focus on making it work the

Your second point is a good one. Discipline is superior to motivation for getting things done, but not for deciding what to spend your time on (which is probably more important). Too much discipline can lead to putting up with bad situation

This is so annoying as a user! It’s like you’re making me do a password reset every time I want to log in, and I have to sit there and wait until the email arrives.

BAT has always seemed fishy to me. All the crypto advertising inside Brave asking users to connect wallets has nothing to do with the BAT rewards system, but they present it in a way that implies it’s somehow related. BAT itself is not real

In the episode “Fifteen Million Merits” the main character is fed ads on the walls of his bedroom and his eyes are tracked. If he wants the ads to stop and close his eyes in peace he has to pay a small fee each time.

The thing about juggling is that technical difficulty doesn’t map super well to how impressive the tricks look to untrained crowds. Beyond a certain point the extra difficulty is only really noticeable to other jugglers.
