People create new content because they expect revenue from ads. Without ads, the entire content creation industry would die.
If you watch and enjoy YouTube in any capacity you should be ensuring that the creators get paid otherwise you’re robbing yourself of content.
I have extensive experience bidding on eBay auctions, I probably engaged in 10 auctions a month for several years in a row.
The first few times I definitely encountered winners curse. But the real/only solution is having accurate price discovery and having a game plan. I will do research to find the current market value and bid in the bottom end of the range. If I miss it, the market is liquid enough such that I can try again and if i hit it, then I am happy because I got it for a low price.
On items with lower liquidity and availability I still need to be patient and disciplined with my bidding. This is the only way to do online auction bidding.
Oh and also sniping in the last 30 seconds.
The solution isn’t to celebrate how families need to live in tiny apartments. The solution is to expand new housing outside of the main areas into new developments, and create new business centers or allow for remote work.
I freaking love new ideas like this! This is the beauty of computer science, anything is possible if you’re smart enough and willing to work hard!
The whole online ad industry is based on users honestly clicking on ads so that advertisers get some sort of feedback as to its effectiveness. If extensions are silently clicking on ads, it renders ad metrics and tracking completely irrelevant.
I love it.
I’m 100% sure this is one of those “joke” papers that show how bad pest-reviewed papers and journals are these days.
In college, I was always the first one out of my friends to “get” a concept, like fast Fourier transforms, anything with signal processing or even coding or any labs we had to do etc so I would spend time teaching them in the library. However I never did any of the exercises, mostly due to laziness and not arrogance. They would get A’s and I would get C’s and D’s.
I emphasize this story to my kids because knowing isn’t important because everyone eventually figure it out. It’s the ones who can do the problems and get good marks that succeed in the end.
Does anyone honestly care? I can’t think of anything less important than any tweet that is more than a few days old. Literally trillions of tweets could be deleted and no one would care
What is zoom’s definition of End-to-end?
Who has authority to investigate the police department for this obvious corruption? Can anyone be held accountable?
Please provide sources for all of your claims.
A more recent and substantial study disproves that idea.

Workers with heavy exposure to asbestos have a similar risk of lung cancer as persons with low or no exposure 20 years after the exposure has ended.
mesothelioma is very bad and does not require heavy, prolonged exposure — brief or low-level exposures have been linked to mesothelioma.
Link?
People with heavy, prolonged exposure to asbestos have up to 13% chance is getting cancer.
People with prolonged exposure to sawdust have a 16% chance of getting cancer.
Asbestos is dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as most people think.
One of my friends told me at one of the FAANGs, some of the employees were openly asking on financial-planning internal mailing list in how to qualify their kids for financial aid or grants because they made too much.
Here comes the coordinated media campaign trying to tell us that WFH is not good for businesses…
I wonder how much corporations paid to get this article planted so that CEOs can point to it as the reason they want RTO?
It seems like signing up for globalization means having to accept consequences like this. You can’t bemoan when invasive species affects local ecosystems when you also allow unabated global transport with absolutely no security or inspection for diseases or insects etc.
You can’t be lazy with inspection and then be shocked when an extremely global eceonomy introduces Bark Beetles and decimate your trees. Either accept this outcome or spend more money at entry points or stop globalization with countries that don’t inspect their exports to avoid the situation completely.
Every Uber driver I’ve had in US and Canada are happy with driving for Uber. One guy I had the other day drives under as his second job and He says it pays his rent, his car payment and gas and his primary job goes straight to savings. The idea that these Uber drivers are slaves is a lie.
That doesn’t make sense, they can’t assume the lock is freed after the timeout. They have to retry to get the lock again, because another process might have taken the lock. Also, redis is single threaded so access to redis is by definition serialized.
Japan needs to move to a 4 day work week. Their culture and lifestyle is sucking the will to live from their young people. Moving to a 4 day work week will help the kids loosen up and feeling confident that they’re not bringing kids into a dystopian matrix-like world where all you do is work and then die.
How can data collected by the government be private? That should all be available to the public since it was gathered with public funds. Has no one issued a freedom of information request?
Basically, decompile the Facebook and Instagram apps, and any tricks they are using to circumvent privacy should be squashed.
I genuinely hate responses like this.
For some reason, there’s a contingent of people that think that by poking holes and pooh-poohing things, it gives them clout. It happens far too often in tech and I hate it. Look how often the post has “can’t” or “couldn’t”.
Instead of giving reasons why something sucks, how about being supportive and talking about why it’s awesome and what possibilities this opens up?
He replaced Keith moon first on Face Dances, and you’re right, he is nothing more than a metronome.
Keith Moon was a one-of-a-kind drummer. He pushed the drums up from the background to a first-order instrument. He didn’t keep time and didn’t maintain a steady beat.
I recently started teaching myself drums and when I listened carefully to Keith Moon, he doesn’t maintain any semblance of repeatable beat. But it’s beautiful and intimidating and ferocious. I wonder why others haven’t tried to imitate him because it’s so much more interesting than a regular drummer.
I think you deserve help as well. This is why I suppose universal basic income, because for someone like you, an extra $1000/month would help tremendously.
I hate Newsom but I think this is a good idea. Education and support should be 100% free for those in the more difficult economic situations.
Yup. Change your title to Senior Manager and be done with it. I don’t know why you would stick with VP of Engineering when everyone including yourself knew it was BS. There’s no shame in correcting the title.
One of my former coworkers is objectively very, very handsome. He looks like a blond 6’4” model. On top of that he’s young, very smart and a genuinely nice guy too.
Whenever we went for lunch together, it was like I entered another world and it was fascinating to me. Girls would walk up to him and say “hi”, stand around and make awkward conversation and then leave. This happened ALL THE TIME. I can say that this has never happened to me not even once in my life. I’m the type of guy where a girl will ask me where I work, and I’ve been working with her for a year. It doesn’t bother me one bit but I’m also in my 50s.
I’m not particularly handsome so sitting with him felt like I was gaining a secret pass to the lifestyles of the beautiful. When we were in line, I would look around and see girls just staring at him without him noticing.
The complete contrast between his life and mine in terms of how women treat him was really fascinating to me, especially since he’s a good guy and a rising star because he’s smart and hard working.
This. Statins claimed to be free from adverse reactions, but it turns out that about 30% of the participants were taken out of their clinical study because of “non-compliance”. However, if you dig in further, the non-compliance was because of adverse reactions.
You can’t trust pharma companies if their data is secret.
Only 85%?
