The problem is also that the rate of, and ease of production of terrible content far outpaces good content. So it does matter that there’s loads of junk because finding something worthwhile gets hard very quickly.

Guess my RGB 2 years ago

So far I’ve gotten to the end for a few colors. Quite fun, took my about 20-30 guesses!

Sure the customers decided, but what about their relatives? If any of my relatives uploaded their genetic info to this, it by extension has a huge part of my genetic info too, and my consent was decided without my knowlegde...

What I'm trying to say is: I don't think comparing it to equifax is reasonable in that regard.

I typically associate in-app video ads with C-tier mobile games that are a few steps removed from a click farm. None of those has a home on my device.

I’m glad and feel lucky to live in a city with good public transportation, guess I can go back to the old call restaurant and pickup order method in peace now.

It also seems that they are planning on adding tablets to the cars to play ads? We’ve come full circle to taxis…

Certainly, but without knowing the workload that was used for the benchmark it’s a meaningless marketing number.

up to 4x

Thats not a minimum performance guarantee. They’re talking about an upper bound. It’s possible that the 4x is some niche benchmark.

I’d bet that’s unlikely. A lot of if Rail’s power comes from the meta progamming (convention over configuration, was it?) which would be needlessly hard in extension land.

Extensions shine brightest on CPU bound workloads by doing away with a lot of the intermediate Object allocs/frees. The gains tend to not be worth the investment in IO bound settings.

This doesn’t mean Rails won’t benefit from extensions.

Python's type hints are undecidable. You cannot know, without evaluating the type-level program if it will halt.

The only way around this would be to set a recursion depth, which changes the semantics.

Some of you mention dislikes help you decide what to watch,” said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. “But dislikes were never shown to people on the homepage, search results, up next screen, where users were most likely to choose a video

Well I click the video and back out as soon as I see dislikes approachung likes in quantity.

Was that really so hard to come up with for said CEO?

I think you're overthinking. I had the same fear when I first started going to the gym.

So far my experience has been really positive, I find it hard to put myself in such situations as long as:

1. Always start with low weight and try to check if you're "feeling" the right part of your body, sort of like a form + mind-muscle connection check

2. If you plan exceed a previous maximum, try to

2.2. Do it in really small increments
