You can delete things from your watch history to clean up the algo. If I ever let a TV auto play for too long or have kids over watching things I go though and delete things I think will negatively affect the algo. I feel like clicking a vi

I agree with you almost completely. I never used YT as a content source until a few years ago - I’d never open the app and only watch videos linked or embedded / looking up a specific how to video. Now it’s different though. I never go

I have a friend who this does not work on. In his worse moments he will continue on his phone like nothing happened and not even bring it back up later / forget that we were even talking about something if I were to bring it up later.

In Michigan lottery tickets have (used to?) a one letter code somewhere in the blank area that gives you the winning amount. I used to be careful not to scratch non-play areas back when my grandfather owned a store as it might reveal the wi

I had interacted with Pritt Kasesalu (PrittK) when I was very young. In the late 90/early 00s I played an MMO developed by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) named Subspace, released in the mid 90s. It was a top down astroids-like space g

This is getting down to speed of light and the distance to the ram. The RAM needs to be very close to the chip. This is also being seen in the X3D CPU's where the memory is stacked on top to reduce latency and as density was maxed in 2

Except stores aren’t banning the customers from browsing or building a cart. It’s only when someone goes to pay does the fraud detection run and block the transaction. What the US does allow companies to do, like Walmart, is run “background

Not sure if this was a slight but yes, payment providers and other services need to discriminate valid uses of their service from fraudulent.

I think your view on the world might be a little skewed. Every human in the world needs to know how domain names work? What?

While I disagree with everything going on, the cobol date time thing is just some myth everyone came up with. Go find me a single source to that claim because I can’t.

You can't live without food. Eggs are a food. So you can live without eggs, but when you have no other food, you can't.

They really did themselves dirty calling it a notch, drawing attention to the loss of space. They should have used something like "extra screen ears" - implying you are getting some extra space around the sensors.

Similar reasons people buy overnight sleeper tickets from the west coast to asia for sky-high prices. That person has to be there, and they have to be rested. If they are negotiating 100m+ dollar contracts its a no-brainer.
