So at what point does the metric used for user engagement cross a threshold for 'addiction'? Wouldn't incentives to drive this metric up across the board to increase revenue outweigh the pressure to maintain a healthy relatio

Google is the default search engine on iOS because they pay Apple $7 billion annually for the privilege, I don't think they're going to be strongly motivated to pull the plug on that

Aren't you concerned with hardware degradation with your GPU running at 100% most of the time?

Absolutely not. Could you imagine the backlash if it's found the first person who tweeted the correct number was passed over for an influencer, or a more popular account?

Limitations on hardware one can run a lambda function on and constraints on execution time mean they are "underpowered" compared to other options, like ECS Fargate tasks.

Obviously, but the real issue would be figuring out how to tweak our genes to do so. Figuring out how to enlarge the brain of a monkey would've been much easier, because human genes provided a ready-made template for these researchers

Interesting analogy, because a growing trend in Seattle restaurants is eschewing tipping entirely for a fixed % gratuity included in the bill. I agree with the other commenters in the thread - if you're peeved because you didn't g

I've played a LambdaMOO based MUD off and on for about 10 years now. Players would inevitably quit or transition to working on the game core, such an awesome community to be a part of.

Definitely not. The manager should be proficient enough to manage, but their main responsibility isn't to code, it's to... manage.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why Jody seems to be... betraying Paul's legacy, for lack of a better word? The only eccentric public indulgence of his that looks like it's going to survive is the MoPop museum, but that's be

Because the users who were less clearly fake would still degrade the experience of the rest of the users. To use an analogy, consider currency counterfeiting. The government doesn't just look to see who is spending lots of cash without

I can't find anything specific about the survey methodology related to this data, but there being an 'a lot' response implies to me the existence of answers like 'a little' as well that convey trust

Addressing your second to last question, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, though the more likely solution for the government is throwing money at compute power to break encryption which is reasonably secure if m

Either you missed the point of that survey or you're deliberately misrepresenting its results. Did you miss the sentence that said 'This ranking is determined by share of "a lot" responses.'? Amazon is the 2nd most

On what basis? I see operating income between AWS and retail being relatively similar. The margins for AWS are much better, but retail is still driving a huge amount of profit for Amazon.

The examples specifically used above (garbage removal, plumbing) pay very well. I'd say they're valued appropriately for how little training they require.

And even more importantly this will eventually foster more palatable/unavoidable kinds of advertising to avoid the arms race entirely, e.g. product placement and endorsements.

The above poster is still technically correct though, getting the cert is just 1 more obstacle in the way of the attack, which isn't as much of an obstacle as one would think for some actors(see China).

Yes, but AlphaGo can't be used as a metaphor for a lot of the algorithms/automated trading strategies which were implemented based on research done by people, and carried out by computers. AlphaGo only trained against itself.

It's possible there is something the data is missing, like like the time of the crimes committed. I'm not invested enough to make a point by creating multiple queries against the available data sets. You and the other posters in t
