The news they want to see, not whatever news the Facebook algorithm is feeding them.

You see this all the time with startup news. Read a mainstream article about a startup you know personally. Sure the main details are all there, but the small details are changed/ omitted to fit the mould of the story the author had in

The user review system for games is the best I know of and arguably more useful in deciding what to buy than critic reviews. Steam is also constantly promoting new games to you and making suggestions based on what you currently play. There

Regex is interesting because almost anyone that works with documents and spreadsheets would benefit from it. Similar to programming though, even as a non technical person at a tech company you would definitely encounter situations where som

The ones in supermarkets in Australia started off with a lot of weight related issues. Seems to work fine now, not sure if they have gotten smarter or just less picky with weights.

Similar at supermarkets in Australia, one staff member could be watching over about 12 self checkouts. They still offer regular registers for people with a lot of stuff and people that don't like self checkout. The machines are good en

I think adwords is likely heavily dependent on what you are selling. For example trying to make money on a popular travel term is going to be impossible, but selling a niche long tail product with little competition and cheap cost per click

Sponsored articles from pages I have already liked I sometimes click on. Retargetting works okay for us, nothing amazing but at the same time it isn't throwing money away.

Sennheiser 363d, really comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Headphone sound quality and microphone quality are both great.

Depending on where you are in the world living solely off benefits isn't very appealing to most. Much more likely that most will be forced into it rather than choosing it.

Not hard to imagine that there would be a lot of work out there of marginal economic value but not enough to employ someone at the minimum wage to do.

Yes, in small groups such as tribes. There is reciprocal altruism at play, where helping other members of the group can reasonably expected to be repaid in future, so it can be a win win. In our modern world it is often going to be the case

Sure that happens to a small portion, if the result is close enough though you can go back over them by hand. The difference is that the voting machine makes it possible to hack the paper trail.

I suspect a lot of people that never replied would be people the signed up but never got around to trying the product properly or people that immediately saw that it wasn't ever going to solve their problem. Would be interesting to cor

Sure, write the same thing out as a programming language function and the CS people should understand fine. I think even when I was spending a lot of time on this in my CS degree that kind of notation gave me issues.

From a viewers perspective this is great. For past World Chess Championships you could watch ex pros/ high level players commentate on Youtube and Twitch.

Best would be if they had a language model, but no memory of communicating together in the past, so each game the AI would have the additional hurdle of building up communication.

There is a lot scope for mimicking a human player in terms of how long it takes to react and how the APM is actually used. I think the more effort they put into the AI restrictions, the more interesting AI you will end up with. Having an AI

Yeah it becomes about the averages for the retailer, rather than building in the actual costs for any one order.

In Australia it is pretty easy to get a feel for what low volume retailers are paying, eBay sellers will usually charge about $7 for an auspost parcel under 500g. A little above the rate for sending to the same capital city or other major c

Yeah and you are subsidizing places that cost more to ship to, and depending on the average basket size of the shop you are likely paying for shipping for each item individually. Often shipping rates include a flat per package fee with a sm

They are likely aware of this but know it would be too hard to get enough traction for a new brand. If they were really serious about it they would probably have to buy something with traction. They actually already run one via Oculus.

Facebook made a lot of its early revenue off games people were playing via their platform. Over time that dropped off and now they make the revenue pushing ios/android apps. I guess that it is a long term play to try and get some of th

People that need more memory are most likely to be the ones commenting regarding memory. I suspect that the majority of developers aren't going to need more memory, at least not for 99% of their job. Also no doubt people want a bump on

It is mostly just an arbitrage, the site advertising their click bait content just needs to get more money from the numerous ads on their page than they spent on the outbrain click.

Presumably though, if you put full time hours in now and obtain a certain amount of revenue/ growth, cutting out those hours would likely see revenue fall off over time, at least from where you would be working full time.

Sounds pretty risky, even if they solved the technical side of it there is by no means a proven market.
