The neural network takes into account videos that other people who watched the same one you did watched. It's quite possible that the movie trailer you watched was popular among demographics that also watched those recommendations. If

> Won’t youtube effectively shove the next recommended video to a user as long as auto-play is activated ? You can very easily turn auto-play off. There is plenty of opportunity to switch videos. It would be different if youtube forced y

To make my first point clear, here is a scenario: I walk up to you on the street and suggest you give me a dollar. vs I walk up to you on the street and take a dollar from you by force. Youtube is a platform, in order remain a platform it M

The semantics argument I was pointing out was in regards to "broader" vs "engaging". That's not what my statement was about, it was that no matter what the algorithm recommends to you, you still have the choice whet

Youtube is asserting on behalf of people who own the publishing rights and not on behalf of themselves. This is an important distinction. Youtube is not the same as a Newspaper in any way shape or form, I don't really understand your c

I personally think this has deeper political motives as well, but yes I completely agree with you!

I would argue that your point is semantics, but even so you still have a choice of whether or not to watch the recommended more "engaging" material. It doesn't change the overall point of my statement.

That is an apples to oranges comparison, Youtube is a platform not an institution. It is open to all videos, provided they meet certain agreed upon guidelines, and should not be responsible for censoring content based on individual opinions

I completely disagree, my children have a wonderful time following the recommended videos that youtube provides. I'm interested to hear your reasoning on why it is "disastrous".

I don't think this is incentivizing bad behavior. It's merely showing the viewer more of what they are already watching with a gradual introduction to broader material. The example of a youtube serving content to "pedophiles&

While I think the usage of a gif is awesome, I am a huge fan of actually allowing people to see what is happening. The purpose of the gif was to show how it works, but he moved so fast I could barely read anything or follow him.

Hey man, you are loved. Wish I could have said this to my girlfriend. She used to say things like this in passing. I can tell you that the pain of missing her never goes away. Just remember that you are loved and don't be afraid to rea

Keep in mind that 'Making a Murderer' is heavily dramatized for television purposes. Also the show purposefully leaves out information, https://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/evidenceagainstavery...

I don't think you understand what the environmental concessions actually were. The article tries to make it sound like they were related to the dumping of heavy metals, but in reality they are just for the construction of the site and

If you read the article it explains that Foxconn changed their plans after Wisconsin refused to subsidize a necessary Corning factory. I think that people are forgetting that this a subsidy to build. The state is not "giving" Foxc

To be fair, many of the problems you just described are specific to console games. But more specifically to your point this service would actually eliminate the need to keep the game up to date, as the centralized server would maintain an u

This is literally testing streaming to Chrome . I'm guessing that optimizing this required some serious client side support, so it would make sense why it would only work for Chrome. That being said if it takes off, I can easily oth

Well since this is a streaming service, there is no such thing as an "offline" game as you need to be connected to the internet to stream it. I"m guess they will have some sort pay for play time model rather than a full game

If this is what the author wanted, which I 100% agree with you it is, why didn't she just say that? Admittedly, I often find myself in the clueless husband role, but my wife has been making a huge effort to directly say what she wants.

I think you missed my point. You should not write a check for more money than you have, (you can but you are taking a risk that it will bounce). You do not need a buffer, you need to track your money better. The second that you write a chec

The metaphor was in regards to decision making and responsibility. It was not regarding being poor or in poverty whatsoever.

The flaw in your point is that you should not have $11 in checks clearing with only $10 in balance. This means that you wrote the check without enough money. People its your responsibility to keep track of your balance, not your banks.

A late fee on a utility is ALWAYS better than an overdraft or a bounced check. I see this argument so much. I can only speak from my experience, but if I was ever short, I would call the company and explain, 9 times out of 10 I would be gra
