One of my favourite movies.

"each new connected TV platform user generates around $5 per quarter in data and advertising revenue."
Fuck me, this is the amount of money that's enough motivation for them to ruin my experience and make me angry?
I guess regular users have much higher tolerance to ads than me, but our home has a strict zero ad policy.
That's "crowdsourced", i.e. manually done by volunteers on per-video basis.
I haven't signed in with the Microsoft account in the first place.
"Chrome users" or "Chrome under windows users" would be closer to the truth. Still, quite a screw up.
I expect this to proceed similarly: many companies and funding dollars will burn in flames and still, the world will be a different place in a decade thanks to this technology.
Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.
I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I'm just old and used to better software.
I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.
Nissan also detects you having sex in the car and phones the info home.
NY Times has a freaking great data visualisations, they are (were?) employing a wizard in this space, doing custom extensions on d3.js.
Ads are just pure negative. There was even one study that calculated this as a direct financial negative, although unfortunately in narrow circumstances: it was calculated that for mobile users in the US, paying for the data transferred to display the ad was more expensive than what the site owner got paid for including it on his site.
If boobs don't have their emoji, bitcoin doesn't deserve it either!
...in 2030.
That's one big difference between the US and the EU law. In the EU, they can't.
In our language "sitting" is a synonym of "meeting". So in the office setting, I always say "I have an important sitting coming up".
You could also think this applies to all corporations in some degree. But no, there's a fresh batch of bright eyed optimistic people out of school every year.
Same thing happened when Kia entered Europe. Unusually low pay combined with mandatory morning employee marching and exercising in the factory, combined with threats of physical punishment for "under performing" workers.
On the lunch long time ago, I was complaining to my colleagues about surprisingly expensive pizza: "20 euros for the pizza! In some countries you would get a blowjob for that kind of money!" Few minutes later, another colleague joined us and I immediately told him: "This is 20 euro pizza!". He answered: "What?? Did you get a blow job with it?" One female colleague noted: "I see you both visit similar kind of .. restaurants".
It doesn't matter if it is intentional or not, only the result matters: TikTok gave them boost in the visibility. Whether it was "an algorithm" or any other aspect of the company is irrelevant.
Voice recognition is “AI“*, it even uses the same technical architecture as the most popular applications of AI - Artificial neural networks.
* - depending on the definition of course.
Mozilla's analysis if the policies, see my other comment in the thread.
Oh no, I love Alice :( She just moved, relatively recently...
I guess I can finally stop reading RPS now.
... like Windows, or Office, or Google docs, or Search, or Gmail, or Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube and all the others...
I hope HE dies before that happens. And wish you well.
Some drugs are just stronger than the others.
This is just freaking adorable!
Take care of your body and keep it healthy. You have plenty of time to acquire habits helping that and slowly get rid of those damaging it - use that time before the issue is forced on you.
Also, let's not forget they are the DLC pioneers and inventors of the historically important Horse Armor DLC.
Got uses Git repositories to store versioned data. Git can be used for any functionality which has not yet been implemented in Got. It will always remain possible to work with both Got and Git on the same repository.
Very smart move!
When I was a kid in a second world country, you would put yeast in his latrine. That would teach him.
Unfortunately, that is probably no longer applicable.
Hmm, I sometimes do this, when tackling a particular problem, along with some notes. It is often nonlinear and branching. I use it to construct a problem-solving script in the end. And it's markdown file.
Are we OK? ;)
"lacking podcasts" is a plus for most people, I think. But Tidal's interface is a bit worse for me in one thing: it lacks the "remote control" Spotify has: controlling playback from any device on any device (e.g. playing on the computer and using the phone as a remote) and also the ability to transfer the playback from one device to another - like pausing it on the computer, picking up the phone, connecting it to car and resuming playback.
Enough of this BP propaganda about personal footprint.
"defense"
Remember when videos had to be at least 10 minutes long, so more ads could be added to the play time? Now they don't give a fuck.
Mezzanine
Ideally, frothing, bubbling and overflow :) Or at least vile gases.
I mean, that sounds completely horrible, but it says something about the world of web, when it is not that different than any regular frontent/backend web stack. I.e. HTML + CSS + javascript + backend language + sql + random shit on top of it, all in the single project. And that's even before talking about native apps for mobile.
1 hundred cups of coffee, of course.
No Futurama love here?
Will there be a modding support at all?
