Is your original Google search done in Chrome or via the Google "app"? I guess that's why your result opens in a WebView? I usually just go to google.com in Chrome to search for things, and the amp link in the address bar is

I sure hope it is the end of AMP (even though it was launched by a close friend of mine at Google). Quite honestly, the concept never really made any sense to me, and often the load speeds were just as poor as the original website itself. O

I find it strange that for one of the largest transactions most people will ever make, they choose to use an advisor with little or no real education in the subject, with whom they have a relationship that's steeped in moral hazard.

Don't forget to throw in a bit of machine learning and deep learning. And issue some sort of cryptocurrency while you're at it. That'll really bring in the investors. /s

But why? Why would any government want to justify longer than needed lockdowns?

It makes your tweets nicer, but also an echo chamber, which will unfortunately be exploited by those you follow at some point.

Facebook, when I used to use it, felt like a reasonably structured glut of content. Twitter on the other hand feels like a poorly structured glut of opinions. I sometimes can't even differentiate between the original tweet, the reply,

On Amazon, they could just make the refund/returns rate for a product public. That would probably be a pretty good quality indicator for physical goods.

And they keep getting awarded contracts despite their continued poor delivery. I really don't understand how their terrible track record never seems to impact their ability to win more business. I can only assume corruption, but I have

For me, agile is synonymous with a common sense approach: take small steps to your goal, and don't be alarmed if you need to pivot your strategy along the way, as no one has a crystal ball. Having said that, I've seen a lot of agi

Not true. We have actively sought the cheapest electricity sources for our rigs. I guess it depends on the scale you're operating at, but you're not going to be too profitable plugging into your apartment wall socket here in Centr

But does the standard make sense? What's the rationale for not using an IP address?

If they're unbanked, how do they buy bitcoin? You can't just hand over notes for bitcoin in that many places, can you?

The question is why is BTC getting so much interest, when it serves little real purpose to most people. Facebook on the other hand, is deeply entrenched in half the world's daily entertainment routine. I understand the hype around BTC,

I think BTC energy consumption is a major issue, as is speed and capacity. I'm actually not sure what real problem BTC is actually solving currently! Also, I don't quite understand your first question. Care to elaborate?
436.
by osrec 6y ago
I believe Bitcoin is the experimental precursor to proper distributed money. For some reason, even though BTC was meant to be "money", it is now being treated as an asset (at a basic level, an asset is something you hold onto, as

How does that tell you if the product is any good though? Popularity doesn't automatically imply quality.

To me, that's actually the correct use of the system. I was thinking more in terms of people deliberately gaming the review system.

Disruption often means to offer an alternative, better solution to a poorly solved problem. You seem to be suggesting we don't try and solve the product validation problem at all!

I would presume that most people that buy reviews for their own products would ask for them to be 5 stars. I wonder if anyone is deliberately paying for bad reviews of their competitors' products?

I lived in India during my childhood and thought nothing of the lack of safety on the roads. Then I moved to the UK and learned how to drive in the UK. When I went back to India, I felt terrified on the roads. For example, in the UK you wai

Back in the day, Dyson vacuums were supposed to be the best of the best. I think they lived up to that reputation to some extent. But now, everything they produce is a nice looking pile of barely functional junk, with a ridiculous price tag

I don't know exactly what she does, but she always turns up and doesn't mess around or offend people, unlike the rest of her family. She's like a grandma the nation respects, even though you suspect there might be a sinister

Perhaps, but let's sort the problem at hand first? The monarchy in the UK only seems to benefit themselves and tabloid newspapers. While the Queen has been a dutiful monarch (whos work ethic I happen to respect), the rest of her family

But you're certainly persistent in trying to get others to agree/see to your viewpoint on here. Perhaps you want to influence opinion more than you think?

To influence others? To express an opinion? Or just for fun?

I don't know if I will have a meaningful impact or not, but my intention is certainly to impact the rating. Otherwise, why rate at all?

by osrec 6y ago
I think it depends on whether your experience was positive or negative. If positive, I think your description applies. If negative, I think people really do want to impact the rating negatively.

So only big shot hedge funds are allowed to manipulate the market and get away with it? How dare the common man shift the balance of power, that too by playing totally within the rules!? Seriously, if a fund did this, they'd be patting
