But they do already control what we see! The alogrithmic timeline is the exact feature that causes all this bollocks and its so mis-designed.

Oh man you don’t know the half of it. He’s been working on The Dambusters for years [1]. Also, he owns this incredible collection of old WWI and II planes, most of which have been restored from scratch! [2] [1] https://www.stuff.

I went to a lunch with Douglas Crockford in London and was lucky enough to be seated next to him. Got to ask lots of questions about what he thought of new JS and he was unequivocal: All the new class shit is a hack by people determined to

You can't accept bias etc and then make this statement "On an individual basis, every fuckwit locked up for violent crimes deserves to be there". It makes no sense to accept institutional racism at a macro level, because it m

Not this gamer. My dad got me a copy and I tried for a couple of hours to get past the first bit, couldn’t, and gave up forever. Evidently my brain is not suited to that stuff.

For side projects, I always try and get as far as I can with a CSS UI framework, then ask friends for help. It's much easier to brief people if you have a woring prototype.

Evidence would say this isn't the most secure form of defense for our societies.

Yeah, but in the wealthier countries, apart from Germany and France, it seems iOS is either almost tied or in the majority (I just looked at US, UK, Canada, Netherlands, Sweden)

Global market share. In most western countries it's around 50/50 or 60/40 one way or the other. End of the day, that's still where most of the purchasing power is.

Same here. Also, often if you call the hotel they'll offer you a better deal as they don't have to pay the big booking agencies.

We still have to maintain hope :) Personally, I subscribe to the Guardian (the weekend papers, I live in London) and the London Review of Books. I like this model as I'm not buying the individual content so much as I'm buying into

Surely micropayments work in the exact opposite way to what you describe when it comes to click-bait. Like every other market with abundance (e.g. music in 2018), I imagine it will be winner take all and the distribution of rewards will ske

Came to say this. I’ve lived in London for 3.5 years and first winter got really depressed - originally from NZ and we have more light. Tried meditation and exercise and it kind of worked, but still not great. Next one and all since just to

I don't understand why govt's aren't tasking their militaries with using their considerable resources to find solutions to climate change - they have, at minimun the following skills: science, tech, manpower, organisational a

From a biz perspective, yes, but it's different. If anything, IG works better for facebook and its users because it's more honest. It's a platform for photo and video sharing and loads of people just use it to voluntarily fol

Honestly, I feel the same a bit. Like the company itself is cancerous - their complete lack of regard with the way they let hate spread on their platform is shameful. But...I've been on since the old days. I remember when it was actual

Some of the American symbolism user by the Nazis is actually a bit more than coincidental: this New Yorker article details a lot of the American racism that inspired Hitler https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/0

Highly recommend Joseph Roth's The Hotel Years too. A series of his newspaper columns filed across Europe between the wars. It's in a roughly chronological order as well, and really captures the darkness and change that spreads ac

Cost of living in Auckland and Wellington is high (rent and food, mostly), but great fibre internet and huge demand for engineers. Big days rates from what I've heard (I'm in London now). Auckland is on two harbours, absolutely be

Really? I said it was expensive, and for equivalent it’s almost as expensive. It’s almost like they’re both premium machines with premium parts. £300 extra for a better OS is worth it.
