You know the concept of "conversion". So, so, so many people don't. Idea of ROI is foreign to them. Facebook is going this whole "be your own advertiser" thing and ... well, it's working. They see the pretty gr

It's my pet name for "User experience". Because that's what UX is. My sources are: any book on UX or website design :). In it's good form it's learning how to design interfaces that are intuitive (i.e. they lea

Well, yes. But while the targets used to be people employed by companies dishing out company money ... now it's A LOT small time advertisers. Like civil society. You would be surprised how few people, who advertise on Facebook have hea

I keep warning small time (ie most) FB page owners who advertise on FB to be very very careful as they are being subjected to a beefed up version of the psychological manipulation that regular users face as they, not the regular users, are

A very good comment. I would like to point out to everyone that the correct expression to use in these discussions is rights holder NOT author . Anyone still imagining this as a fight between pirate and "author" is strongly mis

And Drupal 7. What is old is new again. Laravel has also joined in on this train. But from what I remember ... I hated this technology with a burning passion back when I was still working on D7.

The First result for me ( https://www.trophi.com/page/600eb2036c0b5800157eb041 ) is proof why this idea of "all opinions are equal and should be given equal opportunity to be heard" is bunk. Politics is a serio

Honest question: why don't you ban such users? I used to be in non-main-stream politics, and we had the same problem - people coming into the group who were toxic and made our lives hell. It took me far too long to realize the followin

No, it's not :) Where would you get the energy to split the water? Why not just use that energy directly :). The idea is to use the water as an energy carrier. You split the water into H2, than use that to power a car producing water a

I'm fine with this. It costs me almost nothing, but it means something to some people and I see no reason to block them from getting it. And its gonna be juuuust a bit easier to explain git to non native speakers who understand 'm

Damn that link made me happy. Was wondering if anyone has done to hearing aids what they did for glasses. We just brought my father progressive glasses for 100usd (would be 400+usd here at a 'normal' store). Now he needs a hearing

I think your unecesserally criticising the person your commenting on. They never said free/unregulated market. They just said market driven. Markets and market forces are tools. If left unregulated they, as you pointed out, devolve int

Maybe because at the time they were modeling Covid for a few months. We've been modeling climate change for something like 50 years and have seen our best models confirmed by reality.

Or we could just finally admit it: markets/buissness needs to be regulated. And markets/businesses with a high risk of negative effects for society (and software already belongs in this category) should be strickly and proactevly

I don't get that logic. So what if they have liabilities? They also had experiance, proprietary knowledge, tested supply chains, tooling etc. etc. I think the problem is that everyone is buying into the Musk==SpaceX story, which I thin

That's why EU is so important. Its the only institution with even a chance. The US is far to captured to ever start thinking about basic anti-monopoly regulation. Because that's all you are describing is: basic antimonopoly regula

I would like to challenge the idea of "being informed". So I went through some health issues in the last few months and I had to radically lower my stress (used to be in politics - that thing will kill you ;) ). So I "unplugg

Solutions to the stated problems are, from a technical and policy stand point very simple. Yes, we know how to solve all of this - it's called market regulation and we know it works reeeely well. But it's politically hard. What we

I do envy you. Been busting my brain with French for years as its always been my dream to speak it. But coming from Slovenian (slavic) and not having an ear for languages does not help. So, congrats!

There are other, such as capital, cash flow and licensing requirements.... As far as I can tell. I was very disappointed when I found this out too. Fail. There will probably be resellers offering api access to our own data (I think that&#x2
