The canonical source for info would be Cinefex issue #55, which came out at the time and went through all the special effects shots. I think you can get it for $5 through their iPad app. Apparently it is four minutes of CG out of fourteen

I think it was mainly about th trending topics section. People were complaining it wasn't showing up there, but I'm pretty sure that is algorithmically driven based on your interests. So if you don't post about politics and n

Gawker is terrible because they over cross-promote. Sometimes you go to deadspin.com and barely any of the stories are actually about sports.

If Youtube wants to make people choose between two options, that is Youtube's choice. That doesn't mean those two options are the only possible ones though. They could have gone with a new contract that was much like what they h

If Foxconn is essentially the "low margin" half of Apple, then it wouldn't really unskew it totally.

It's a weird metric, because 1 guy at Apple can hire a firm of 100,000 employees at FoxConn in China to do the actual work for Apple. If those employees instead worked for Apple directly, the end result would be the same but the amoun

Has there really been 0% inflation since 2011? That part of the chart seems pretty iffy.

So current investors will get stock in Yahoo-Alibaba, a company that exists only to own Alibaba stock, and then they can sell their stock in that new company as if it they owned the Alibaba stock itself?

My guess is that he turns "possible strategic plan for 110k layoffs over the next five years starting in January 2015" into "110k layoffs in January 2015."

By definition, it's going to be a true analysis of the drives when obtained the way Backblaze obtains them and when used in the environment Backblaze uses them. Both of those may be different from Joe Random consumer.

The article shows that a dispatched taxi is still much slower than Uber/Lyft. Whether that taxi is dispatched by phone or app doesn't seem like it would affect things much. I think the heart of the problem is that if a taxi igno

I still don't understand why people hate Messenger so much. It works fine for me, indistinguishable from when it was included in the main Facebook app.

I can't stand Paper, and would have rated it poorly, but instead I just deleted it and use the normal app.

To be frank, if someone is rating the entire Facebook app as 1-star because they are forced to use the Messenger app, that's a bullshit review that I put no stock in.
