And now, instead of us having to actively install them, they're just forcing them on us every time we go to a page! The EU and their stupid cookie warning laws don't help either. "Close this footer bar so you can see the nex

That seems like a ton of effort. I know coal burns well but is it really worth that kind of effort in that quantity? (This isn't scrutinizing I'm just curious if this was a practice that was fruitful or if it was just kids think

I think the biggest problem Swype had (once it published) was probably ignoring its user base. I was one of the early adopters when it showed up on the play market and I loved it. It was one of the bigger available apps at the time so I g

Yeah I get a lot of mistypes but it still feels a lot faster than peck typing. I can also do it while I'm not really looking which is nice on a non-tactile keyboard.

Sorry for this I am not experiencing it so maybe I'm completely wrong but these people seem to be overblowing this a lot. Health effects? I mean, it's a hum. Sure you can't find the source but heaters hum, ACs hum, cars go

Seriously! It always drove me nuts that they sent emails when you didn't check your facebook regularly too. I used to get so many damn emails. "This person shared this." "This person liked this" etc and I didn

Yeah I'd say that hurts the people who want to stay there too. If I search for a specific town I want places near the town not places near the biggest hub.

This please. I was expecting an interesting article about why pixels are outdated and possible new displays or something and it turned out to be some huge piece about CSS?

It's funny you say that because when you see deletions of it it's typically a copyright claim. I'm not sure if they're claiming ownership of the person's face or using the face that they're typically stealing a

If it can be faked, is it really evidence? I mean, you're worrying about people not believing assertions at that point. This is already something that can be faked just not by the masses yet and not easily. You should always look

Something that comes up a lot on the deepfakes sub is the notion that this should make people more skeptical. They use the phrase "If anything can be real, nothing is real" and I think it makes a lot of sense.

I'm sorry I believe my initial understanding was wrong. The time frame is still correct but I thought it was feeding but after you asked this it made me doubt myself and upon looking it up it's a different reason. They feed immed

There is also a window of time between when a tick attaches and when it can transmit disease. The ticks don't transmit disease until they have spent some time feeding so if you catch the tick within the first 24hrs or so you should be

I agree I was just trying to understand it further. I've always thought the idea of modeling the world was really interesting but it's always been a tad abstract to me so I was trying to get a little insight into it.

I really think it'd be more fun to watch it in some ways. Like in FPS I'm typically "anonymous guy" or "random name given by the creators". If it was me watching myself in some random movie I think it'd

Wow! I never really thought of Medium in the same realm as Xanga or Livejournal but you're absolutely right. It's crazy to think that people are moving to it. LiveJournal and Xanga were always kind of a stepping stone back in

Can I ask what your goal is when highlighting? Is it based on the word or is it so you don't lose your place or what? I only ask because I don't do it but I sometimes find it difficult to read large amounts of text on screen and I

I agree with this a lot. I barely take note of the author or their site when I read stuff on Medium. So it makes a lot of sense if you want people to read the stuff you write but it seems to make much less sense from a marketing perspecti
