In counterpoint, a recent 60 Minutes piece on Paul MacCartney showed him playing an impromptu concert in his local pub. While playing one of his old hits – I can't recall which one – he suddenly started to stumble and couldn't remember the lyrics. Fortunately the audience was signing along and knew every word.
Well, I have to say though, those little influencers do deliver results.

I have spoken with many of them and they come up with ideas regarding gamification, retention and acquisition being far superior to the ad networks.

They have a community and I would hire some of them on the spot, no need, though, some of them earn my salary many times over.

The ad networks might be ok for flight by night ops like selling viagra copies on porn websites, but they will always be that annoying pop up, I am not sure it they count towards the result if people have ad blockers.

Or let me ask, which businesses can actually convert measurably from ad networks? Assuming life time value of customers being more than 50 usd.

Its always sold as for "brand propagation", an excuse to inform you ahead that no conversion at all will happen.

If you have a fast paces business which relies on large throughput and a constantl flow of new customers it is not very useful.

I know facebook could convert very well, but they will not allow any product.
This may make it easier to bottle up and sell the methane gas as fuel so it can be burned efficiently elsewhere, since transporting gas from remote locations is very hard and expensive, either in pipelines or chilled and liquefied. Still ends up as CO2 in the atmosphere, but that's drastically better than methane, which eventually reacts into CO2 anyway after decades of 10-80x warming.

This is especially true at the many sites that produce very small, but collectively significant, amounts of methane, specifically landfills (check Vespene Energy, a startup in California targeting this problem [0]).

So, this is potentially a fantastic development because it could create a profit incentive to completely capture waste methane rather than at best flaring it (which has been found to only be about 91% efficient in practice [1]) or at worst simply venting it. Right now, the only incentive to even flare methane is general goodwill or fear of the stick of regulation. A carrot to generate money along with the stick of fines would be a much more powerful force to actually reduce the impact, especially in most of the non western world that don't have a very strong stick.

What connection do you see between the company hiring and the course content? I don't think there is a closed-loop there.
> > The entire point of advertising is manipulating human beings.

> No the point is to connect products to interested consumers.

You're both right in identifying points of advertising, and they're not in conflict.

Advertising has _two_ points, which I phrase as:

1. Increasing consumer awareness

2. Increasing consumer demand

Increasing consumer awareness generally feels useful: that's finding out what baby products exist, or showing people a new invention or service.

Increasing consumer demand generally feels manipulative: that's showing sugary cereals and crap toys to children, or associating vaping with success, etc.

The two goals usually are working together — but I find it useful to separate which parts of the advertisement are doing what.
Being in the professional closet sucks, I'm over it. AMA if you are curious about my experiences as a trans woman in the professional world, especially as an entrepreneur.
As usual with matters of opinion, there is a positive and negative way to frame everything. You framed the negative. Allow me to frame the positive:

It seems to be a pervasive attitude.

Today a group of my colleagues received their grades on a linear algebra test. The class average was below the failing mark. One of my acquaintances remarked: "The professor is going to have to do something about these grades, they can't fail the whole class!"

Maybe it's the class that should do something about the grades...

I think you can both have true experiences when it comes to this. Some people enjoy the monotony of repetitive tasks, whereas others want to gargle glass after 10 minutes of it. I certainly know I don't want to work a job that physically exhausts me every day, but some people do enjoy that. I don't think it's romanticizing to say that good-paying warehouse work with proper benefits would be a boon to a LOT of people.
I'd really love to find something low power like this that can run 6-10 SATA drives without using USB.
The problem is that with something as contagious as Omicron, if you reduce transmissions by 10 or 20% you don't really do anything, everyone will get it either way, at best you bought a few days. So you need a materiality threshold.

A timely study, certainly.

It's important to note that risk factors for mortality overlap significantly with the risk factors for other serious adverse events (see e.g. disability status [1], or HELPP syndrome [2]). In a sense, mortality (although fortunately rare as noted in other comments) is therefore a useful proxy for other severe, potentially life-changing adverse pregnancy-related medical events which are much more common than just plain death. (As an analogy, something like 10-15% of heart attacks are fatal, but many more are debilitating.)

If "Settings->Theme->Dark" is a weird browser configuration, then yes. I see white font on a black background, which looks great on many other pages and doesn't hurt my eyes looking at sunspots while most of the page is basically staring at the sun.

There are dozens of us - dozens! - and Jeff's page looks uniquely bad. Something about the font weight, perhaps? The strokes are so thin as to disappear. Zooming to 150% makes it much more readable.
Actually, yes, some deaths and suffering would be preventable if doctors did not had to wait till the pregnant woman is septic or otherwise in acute life threatening situation.

In some cases, ending pregnancy is how you eliminate maternal death.
This is a great comment, I've found myself wishing for a work environment that provides us with these human elements. We are animals that are designed to move!

Walking meetings, some type of AR technology so we can perform email responses/research while moving, and physical interaction with digital systems is the future I want.
Two things helped me:

1. Simple organization

2. Laid back mindset

Organization to get clarity, not to be prescriptive. To easily see things like what’s going on, when deadlines are, and what’s involved, and what you want in the first place. Organization not to set a schedule, routine, time management, or anything like that. It’s about making things simpler.

Laid back mindset so I can take it easy and get things done at the same time. Like working smart, not hard. Instead of trying to be fast, productive, efficient, take your time, be more thoughtful. It helps to naturally avoid procrastination, because the thought of doing something you don’t feel like isn’t so repulsive. You can just take your time, relax, and get it done. If you avoid feeling pressured, it makes it easier to concentrate, and do a better job.

My goal is to wake up, and not care about what day it is. I really don't want to be stressed at night. I don’t want to dread Monday or look forward to the weekend. I don’t want to be so worked up that my brain looks for distractions. I don’t want to have to hype myself up to something.

Being organized helps me see what I might wanna do when I wake up, and be at peace when I want to get some rest. Being laid back helps me to actually start doing something and even have a chance to enjoy it. It helps me to take a break when I need it, and to pick it up again later. It makes it easier to be patient when something is challenging.
The "Gold" cards are rare because Creative paid off Yamaha to delay the release of the Gold's OPL chip for long enough to make Ad Lib Inc go bankrupt, so very very few Gold cards saw the light of day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Lib,_Inc.#AdLib_Gold_1000_(...
My understanding of a "conflict of interest" is that they happen when a personal interest interferes with a duty. Ex: a company executive receiving a gift from a potential supplier.

This situation would not be a conflict of interest because Apple has no duty to third party advertisers
If you gave a hacker space in town, maybe at your local library, and they have a decent CNC router, you can probably still get PCBs made locally. I don't know how the price would compare to the big bois like PCBway. They wouldn't end up looking quite as "professional", but it all depends on the price you can get and how much same-day and shopping locally matters to you.
What does that say about the west when they turn the lights off? I know the eco-commies around here have convinced the govt to turn off the street lights at midnight but I had no idea it was also a dog whistle for what they are doing to the economy.
Yeah, until mid-2021, I could reliably find the majority of Pi models in stock (usually with 10+ units) at my local Micro Center—and that was including CM4s, which quickly disappeared off the shelves and by September 2021 were unobtanium.
I don't understand what you're comparing Chromium to if you're saying it doesn't have features for business reasons, when the other browsers also don't have those features.
That's just the thing, it scales very well if you're only running first party servers for a _paid_ game.

Escape From Tarkov had a big issue with cheaters because they would farm ingame currency, then sell it for real cash (Real Money Trading - RMT). This was literally a job for these people. Everytime they got banned, they just bought another account (~40$) and kept farming. If a support person bans one such person per two hours (at a generous 20$/hr Russian salary), the company literally makes money off of cheating.

I get why Free To Play games have cheater issues (even though for example Fortnite is raking in cash), but for pay to play games, I just don't get it.
Yes. It makes a lot of sense.
Except that this isn't an alliance, and the point of the complaint is that they market themselves as pro-privacy when they are anything but.
Nice, I lived in Agoura Hills so I’m quite familiar with TO. I used to get more steps in too but you’re in a relatively nicer part of Greater Los Angeles to walk, and that doesn’t change the fact that your transportation options for things beyond a leisurely walk are limited at the end of the day.
It's not, if you assume the methane is burned completely. But it's being discovered that simply flaring methane isn't as efficient as previously thought, https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/09/oil-industry-flaring...

So, unless you're running the methane through a generator that burns it much more efficiently, like bitcoin miners are doing, we'd be better off bottling it up as methanol where it can be burned efficiently elsewhere.

The bigger impact is that it potentially creates a profit incentive to capture waste methane, so it's less likely that producers will cut corners and just let it vent. Why vent money into the atmosphere?

The open question is whether conversion to methanol and transportation will be cheap enough to actually generate a profit. If not, then it will be better off just getting burned on site.

Observe a trivia night focused on a specific TV Show (like Simpsons or Seinfeld trivia) and you'll see this phenomena en masse. People make connections based on plotlines, celebrity guest stars, or even head writers on episodes and then can drill down to a precise line of dialogue or gag.

The same thing happens with die-hard sports fans. You ask "Who was the rookie points leader on the 05-06 Toronto Maple Leafs?" and a sports nut can start piecing together how the team did that year, who was on their roster, and finally derive an educated guess.

It can, but usually doesn't do anything but make your system less secure. I'd have no problem with anti-cheat systems, but they by and large don't work.
Apple's news app is unusable for me because of the ads. Their app store is just this side of unusable because of ads.

To be clear: I have adhd. Ads are intentionally designed to catch the attention of your average person with reasonable control of their attention. I have no chance in hell of keeping my attention on the article when I have to blast past 6-7 unblockable ads per article.
The methane won't spend all that time in the atmosphere acting as a GHG much more potent than CO2.

> Furthermore, methane collection from the atmosphere is critical for mitigating the negative consequences of climate change since the gas has 25 times the potential to contribute to global warming as CO2, for example.
No, it’s not a general point, they’re making a specific joke about a specific video by a specific guy.

Who isn’t one of the liberal arts degree blogger types who wants to replace game reviews with leftist politics lectures either. He writes for a business journal.
Did you actually read the article? He's probably the one person in tech that is directly aware of what it's like to work at a warehouse because he actually did it for real. He's not claiming to be "making the world a better place" by working at Facebook. He's telling the story of how he got burned out from that world and sought out a real "honest labor" job that he'd heard a ton about in the media to snap out of it and get real.

What more could someone possibly do to wave off the label of "tech bubble non-awareness disease," in your opinion?
IMO this is just an indicator of a bunch of incomplete policies, usually something you see in smaller immature companies. I would think apple would've tightened that up by now, not being allowed to look up info for people you know or personal things is usually explicitly against the rules and can get you fired at most places!

The only time these rules might be able to be 'broken' is to get data to fix bugs with the person's consent.
Often the tradeoff is not worth it (as in I've seen situations where people were working way more stressful situations for like 20%-30% pay bump), not just talking values, but if it's really high stress it better be paying enough to be able to retire in 10 years because constant stress will kill you faster than repetitive physical labor.

It's complicated indeed. A simple "clear browsing data" would make him lose the data forever hehe. And if you keep the key in the server, it would be "hackable", which is what I was trying to avoid. I haven't looked at it but https://solid.mit.edu/ looked promising.
I too had many shitty jobs in my early 20's and reading this article kinda triggered those job's bad memories and how much I hated working at those places. I remember even after getting into tech many years later I would sometimes have dreams where I would be back in one of those jobs having a minor case of PTSD.

That being said there are other ways to do the type of career shift that the author wants. My Wife's cousin who worked as a electrician near SF mentioned to me one of his co-workers was a former sr. director at Oracle who got burned out and wanted to try something new. I asked him how they liked the new career and he said she loved it. That job payed well and didn't require the forced degradation seen at amazon warehouses, plus you get to interact with interesting people and travel to different locations frequently.
Surprised that there is no jailbreak for PS5. Congrats Sony Engineering!

That is only a few markets, in one of the wealthiest countries of the world. In the rest of the world android is pretty much +%90 and iphones are luxury goods, like a designer handbag or a porsche.

in general, Tina Fey overdoes Tina Fey, I wish she'd stop trying to make Tina Fey happen, but she is associated, like as a writer, with a lot of really funny stuff. edit: acting, Amy Poehler(sp?) really inhabits her comedic roles, whereas Tina Fey is always Tina Fey.

related to the overall thread (rather than directly to your comment), "chick flicks" are in general quite well made, or at least I find that formula far superior to the male equivalent of action films which have fewer meaningful standouts.

I hope I'm remembering this right, and please correct me if my memory or interpretation of this isn't correct.

When Covid first emerged and people were diving deeply into all kinds of mortality statistics, one story I saw that was kind of shocking is that there's been no genuine system for counting flu deaths in a normal year. You'd think flu deaths are basically counted by doing something relatively sane such as tallying up deaths in a database labelled with flu (more or less), but it's actually sort of a statistical guess based on number of deaths in a given time period, subtracted by other causes (accidents, cancers, murders, etc), and whatever's left over is labelled with flu.
They didn't block targeted ads based on collecting data. Facebook can collect all the personal data they want and use it for advertising.

What they can't do w/o consent is collect data from third party apps and use that to target users in other apps.
> Apple limits third party tracking without user's consent by both calling it as third party tracking and having it opt in, while Apple's tracking is "personalization" that is opt out.

You just seem to be skipping over the fact that Apple is not a third-party here. The user has a direct relationship with them.

> the only real way to advertise on it.

The advertising industry has existed for over a hundred years without pervasive third-party tracking. Pervasive third-party tracking is not “the only real way to advertise on it”.
EDIT: nevermind, I misread the post.
I’ve never encountered someone who is pro-abortion that believes a late stage abortion is “business as usual”. It’s usually considered a tragedy because rarely does a mother get that late in a pregnancy and want an abortion. They get them because something terrible has gone wrong.
