The most believable sense in which brand awareness is a thing is in the number of people who are passively aware that your brand exists. For example, if you wanted to visit a grocery store, you probably could think of a list of stores in your area that you might want to go to. If I were going to build a new store, I would want to put myself on your mental list of stores, so that if you ever needed something I was selling you would know to visit. That's more or less the quintessential example of advertising. It's also easy to measure in an objective way, because any given individual has either heard of Tesco or hasn't.

There's a spectrum of marketing that ranges from "how can I communicate the existence of my cheese spray product to fans of Cheese Whiz," to "how can I get every American to spray cheese wiz directly into their mouths three times a day as a meal substitute." Techniques for doing the first are about as well tested as Newton's laws, but techniques for doing the second are virtually guaranteed to be a scam where you're the mark.
Can you give an example of a strategy that dam it's course and reached a point of no longer being viable?
For some OFs (old farts), HAM is written as all uppercase because of the (apocryphal) story of the a station being operated under the "HAM" call sign by Albert Hyman, Bob Almy, and Peggie Murray that came to stand for all of "ham radio" because they made an impassioned plea against a bill in Congress that would have revoked the frequency allocations for all of amateur radio and given them over to the military.

Further, since call signs are always written in uppercase (WRR-FM, KIRO-AM, KBTC-TV), some hams are apt to write the name of the hobby as HAM out of habit/solidarity.

So while you're technically right that "ham" is more of "ham-fisted" or "what a ham" variety, you're not following the internal culture.
UC Berkeley was the subject of a Justice Department investigation which stated they weren't in compliance with the law, but never actually sued or subject to a court order to take down anything. They made a unilateral decision.

They decided not to pay for captioning, image enhancement or audio descriptions for their lectures for old content, even though the justice department letter said:

"UC Berkeley is not, however, required to take any action that it can demonstrate would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its service, program or activity or in undue financial and administrative burdens".

They could arguably have fulfilled their requirements by working to update material based on actual demand, and having a process to request updating such material. Court ordered consent degrees are negotiated and approved by a judge, and they could have attempted to negotiate something to address the complaint.

UC Berkeley is a public institution, with expenses paid for in large part by federal and state funds, and those funds come with requirements not to discriminate on the basis of disability, and instead of actually addressing that discrimination in a meaningful way for their content, they chose to simply stop providing the service. You can have your opinion on if that's the right decision, but they weren't forced to make one decision or another.

And per UC Berkeley, it wasn't just the Justice department letter, but also online "limited use" and to better protect instructor intellectual property from 'pirates'". https://news.berkeley.edu/2017/03/01/course-capture/

Really from what I could tell the news was always largely pretty crappy just judging by all of the stupid moral panics they were pushing along with the well known phenomenon that anyone who knew their field knew they were getting reporting on it deeply wrong and not just in a 'only knowledge of the basics' way.

The reason why bloggers could compete with them wasn't because bloggers were inherently awesome (although there are a few high quality writers) but because they were essentially crap.

The internet made fact checking easier and they didn't take the opportunity instead just keeping their pipeline of crap going.
yes. without background processing every web based service that has live updates would break. Email (Gmail/outlook.com/...) chat (slack/messenger/WhatsApp/Discord) SNS (fb/Twitter) even stack overflow and github have various forms of live update
I mean, haven't the authors shown that the problem is "worse" than NP-hard? They have shown it to be undecidable?
I put my start menu up the centre of my two side-by-side monitors. If I were using this, I'd use the dual 16x9 mode and do the same. It has a couple of advantages, despite probably looking a little odd on a single monitor:

1) It is central to the screen real estate, meaning that I'm not dragging my mouse across a suburb to get to the start menu

2) It frees up vertical real estate, which is crucial when working on two side-by-side documents on 16x9 res. Even at 16x10, there's an excess of width compared to 2x A4 sheets. Thus, I want to maximise vertical real estate in exchange for horizontal real estate.

Having said that, anyone who uses such a monitor probably just hits winkey and types their application in search because they're likely power-user enough.
Yeah, great, rather than just going to the .foo directory for the foo program to find user specific state for that program I have to first figure out where the particular distribution likes to put things by default and then hunt through something like 5 different hierarchies for the foo directory.

The "old" way forced program developers to put things in a very specific place. The new way allows then to interpret the XDG standard however they want and scatter everything all over the place.

The author really doesn’t have to move to undeveloped countries to stop posting online and developing tracking software... It’s not that black and white. We have a lot more freedom than he’s making it sound.

If you use a computer 24/7 you might feel oppressed by it. Like with anything.
I don't mind it nagging me once a day, I appreciate updates. I just want to do it at my own pace.

This! With a well focused product, you may get customers on very small but focused websites. Also on most ad networks, on which site, the user is matters less and less due to heavy user tracking.
I will not be installing your app and I will advise all friends, family, and aquaintances to do the same. Native apps are 1000x worse than the web in the risks to users. Even if I trust you I also have to trust the authors of every library your app uses not to pown my computer or use my camera or mic, scan my network, capture my screen, read the clipboard constantly, read and/or upload all my files, etc...
Agreed, and we’re now in serious danger of “Okay button fatigue” or whatever you’d like to call it.

If every normal app has to ask for permission to use your disk, you’re just going to click “Okay” when malware asks. Then the whole system was for naught.
Cost cutting at Google is definitely a real thing and people who’ve been there have been feeling the downward slope for a while now (on a relative basis to Google itself in the past, and doesn’t say much about Google relative to the market), so it’s natural that some people are unhappier and some have left and will leave for various reasons including compensation. However, what’s media reporting here is the result of annual employee survey and the answer to a question along the lines of I’m happy with my comp at Google, which may or may not be a reliable predictor for actual attrition due to comp.

That said it’s amazing that the CEO pay at Google LLC is so high. He’s paid higher than say, Tim Cook, who runs a real public company with significant operations that need to run on time that require management and operation skills, not merely a LLC subsidiary whose operations are nowhere close to Apple. It’s not clear that the company gets enough bang for the buck.
Ada is also interesting in the fact that it has evolved a lot since its inception, e.g. Ada 2012 added design by contract and new concurrency constructs.

It is a very peculiar language.

Before that time frame, PC hardware vendors had little incentive to make stable hardware. It was easy to blame crashes on Windows. If the hardware itself made a few crashes per week, that wasn't going to be enough to be noticed.

The early 64-bit PC hardware was server grade, intended for NT and Linux. That set a standard, and then gradually people moved away from junk like Windows 98SE and Windows ME. Hardware bugs no longer had such an easy time hiding in a flood of software crashes.
You might be surprised at just how much news is little more than slightly rehashed press releases.
Peer reviewers are not ever paid, making this whole arrangement somewhat bizarre and unsavory to reviewers and authors alike.

No, no one’s going to watch that (“goddamn it, Bob, quit mixing formatting commits with functional commits!”) So the director takes a few liberties, we shut up, eat our popcorn, and pretend it’s perfectly reasonable to knock that out over lunch.

The smart-aleck answer would be "with a Fourier transformation". But yeah, I think you have a point.
Other framework, like Ember, uses so called Run Loop to solve these problems. Quite similar concept, but it is not only for UI, it is for the whole app (route, state management, interactions, etc...) Maybe it could be interesting if someone would like to dig deeper in this topic.

If it was really open source the source files for compiling the ttf would have been published. And the repository would be under the Microsoft organisation account, not some random user account.
Wait a minute, react isn't great because they came up with some ground breaking new concept in ui programming. It's popular because it allows for component based design and updating only what it needs to by diffing. These aren't really novel concepts. It's just a good implementation of ideas that's really helped by mass adoption and the overall community converging on one particular framework leading to lots of tutorials, guides, etc.

Even before react, I had webapps where I'd cobbled together helper objects that did things pretty similar to react, although obviously not as robust.

Yes, you can name one time that that happened. But do you understand the types of strategies RenTech is using? They're diversified across thousands of equities on the long and short side. They're market neutral. Taking on amounts of leverage that seem crazy to you is actually very reasonable in this setting, and it's very easy to show that this is reasonably safe.
> What must the Aztecs thought of the Spaniards whose holiest emblem is a man being publicly tortured to death.

The meaning and symbolism would have been blindingly obvious to them. In general, Christian and pagan theology is basically the same. Christianity is a direct development of pagan thought.

The modern thought framework for 99.9% of modern people is Gnostic, not Christian. Both Christianity and paganism is thus completely impenetrable and incomprehensible for pretty much every person alive today.
There's a strange thing, there seems to be a universal rule of Open Access discussions:

There will always be someone who defends publishers based on not knowing anything about how scientific publishing works.
This is interesting... I love the notation, but mainly because how upper and lower indices make it easy to distinguish vectors and forms (not that it matters in ML where everything is "euclidean").
Maybe the problem is you imagining hypothetical pasts where newspapers acted like you want them to act.
YES - I hate Google, their AMP team, or anyone else trying to tell us how to "fix" the web.

It used to be innocuous when Google had 20% browser market share, but now they act like they own how users should experience the web. Like the uBlock origin guy said... if Chromium keeps heading down this path it should no longer be called a "user-agent" because it's no longer acting on behalf of users.
Immediate mode UI systems are p nice.

I don’t really get the “older people are more expensive” argument for outright rejecting older people. Just offer them what you want to pay and if they accept, you got an experienced dev for a price you want to pay. if not, look for a less experienced one fo less pay.
Did Finland’s basic income experiment work? [video]
but that isn't "fact checking" - it's a very limited promise (of being well-sourced). and even then it is debatable. objectively true and as-good-as-neutral is exactly the claim being made, at least implicitly, by the fact checking hype.

the ultimate effect of fact-checking will be to reinforce the power of mainstream, well-established news sources, which is all well and good unless you think they consciously choose which facts they share and how they frame them in a way that goes against your interests, which I believe is often true (and plenty of people agree with me). then it falls back to being a failed technocratic solution to a political problem very suddenly.

If you still work “harder” than everyone around you, you’re probably not as good as you think you are.
I'm not booing them myself, I'm talking about the (non-universal!) cultural subtext of those words. "Wage" has a negative connotation for being lower status than "salary," and appears in terms like "wagecuck." "Capitalist," is absolutely a boo word around leftists and was actually coined by Marx specifically to name his enemies.
I think that the scientific community at large is so frightened of the shame of being wrong that they cling to obviously flawed concepts like dark matter (how come I never got to just add in a chunk of invisible theoretical force whenever my equations were unbalanced in school, eh?).

The fear of embarrassment is a large part of the inertia against scientific revolutions. Furthermore, men hold an inordinate amount of their masculine confidence in their correctness, further exacerbating their ability to admit to being wrong.
I tried to do that for smtg I can't remember. Turns out that it added a lot of deps and compiled the app. I didn't liked it and uninstalled it and brew kept all the deps installed.

It seems it misses an "automatically" installed flag in order to remove the deps I didn't have specifically installed myself in the first place. Would be very great for brew to have that.

Now I avoid trying new apps through brew.

An indication of the formula downloading a pre-built binary or compiling it would be nice too, btw.
I'm 27 and its never occurred to me that people swallow toothpicks... I don't even get how they manage that in the first place.
It’s a facts and circumstances thing. Yes, it’s possible to do. It’s not possible in some circumstances. (Not possible for S-Corp, not possible if the company will be buying assets [inc IP] from the IRA holder, probably not possible if the company isn’t profitable enough to pay a salary from operations [you can’t work for free for your IRA holding, it’s legally risky to use your IRA to funnel you current salary], etc)

GP’s lawyer could very well have been right in advising that GP couldn’t do it under that specific set of facts.
Adding highways isn't the only tool available to transportation planners. Isn't it interesting how some intersections bog down at any capacity, while others are busy and still keep moving smoothly?

There are types of lane and intersection designs which never seem to work well, and I'm surprised that more isn't done to avoid or eliminate them.

There are many instances in history of “embarrassingly,”:

• The theory that the earth is not the center of the universe - people persecuted sometimes killed for different assumptions.
• Spontaneous generation, the idea that life just arises out of nothing, at the time period this was accepted and other ideas disregarded which led to many lives lost due to disease.
• Mental illness assumptions in the past led people to view people with mental illness as possessed by demons, etc. leading to cruel and unusual confinement for these individuals
• Lots of other examples

I would also propose that when observing our primate ape cousins even the smartest monkey to us appears to be “embarrassingly” putting together a coherent picture of actual reality.

Then that proposes an interesting thought experiment. If we encountered an alien species with as much intellectual distance from us as we are to the monkeys, then how would our most innovative theories fare against theirs? I would imagine we would be seen as “embarrassingly,” able to put even a fraction of the puzzle together.

We have our senses, and therefore we design our materials and probes to match our senses. Sometimes we can imagine high dimensionality in say the form of a tensor? Sure. Maybe we don’t have a complete picture so we build and optimize tools only related to our own sense processing. What if there are more than our senses, and we are incapable of seeing a deeper image of reality? What if have the senses of a snail as a comparison to an even more advanced species.

If your equations don’t balance because of a lack of a coherent and falsifiable theory for why they don’t, I guess you’ve stumbled across one of the big open questions in science. Which is fine, it just means there’s still white spots on the map. Granted, they’re enormous. Still better than jusf giving up and attributing it to a deity.

Tapentadol isnt a standard opioid. Its an upgraded version of Tramadol that required millions of dollars in funding to research and discover. It is by the same company, Depomed, who discovered Tramadol. Tapentadol is an amazing drug with better pain relief than actual standard opioids like morphine or oxy.
