I have seen companies drastically reduce their spend on Facebook in the B2B SaaS space. The ones that are left are in the process of rebounding to the same volume as Q1, but something like 60% of advertisers went from tens of ads to 0 campaigns. A lot of it is likely due to the effects of the pandemic, choosing to focus on channels with higher signal & better returns.

This heats up the computer as well, just like the real thing!

Is this really a good idea in traffic?

Author explains the state of documentation / mentions name change:

  There’s a frightening amount of stuff to write, and it will take me a while to explain everything.
  My current plan is, I’m actually releasing it as I’m writing this answer. There is almost no documentation, but I’ll write it one page at a time in the next few days. I’ll also write a blog post tomorrow to explain what I’ve been doing.
  Oh, and after talking to Florent, we have finally decided to change the name. More on that in my blog post tomorrow.

An interesting trait of the balkan languages is the perceived link between the spelling and phonetics, resulting in the phrase "Piši kao što govoriš" / "Write as you speak"

I have seen men over-generalize things just as much as women. Case in point: your comment.

Have seen a dozen of these ads this last week on YouTube, with new illustrations. I wonder what it's going to be like when they actually make the game they're selling.

I made a similar data-vizualization inspired by Tim Urban's Life Calendar:

Here's a screencap of Philip Kaplan's newsletter from 2017 where he claims a friend at Instagram helped him get @DistroKid, which was registered but inactive:

You might be thinking of the Princeton study which determined that policy is mainly influenced by wealthy interest groups[1]. The conclusions rang true with how a lot of people see the system operate in the past century. Interestingly enough, this was ranking higher in search results, when I was looking for a link to the study itself[2]: "Remember that study saying America is an oligarchy? 3 rebuttals say it's wrong." Worth noting that the VOX article finds high agreement between the rich and middle class, while the lower class appears to get their policies enacted in less than one fifth of the cases.

Facebook hate groups don't need Twitter accounts to operate. Regardless of the presumably positive outcome for the mainstream timeline, this is likely a futile whack-a-mole move that only benefits Twitter. Hate groups organize in private and output the vitriol with whichever fake accounts they have in possession. The way to definitively solve this societal problem is to help the people caught in the self-radicalisation filter bubble to overcome their real-life problems that fuel the hate. Banning them from the services that played a part in turning them seems a bit hypocritical.

It'd be interesting to find out what sort of impact the COVID situation had on chargeback rates. I don't have the data, but it's rational to assume that the numbers grew across the board. Stripe doesn't have any obligation to hedge for that risk, but having a quarter of income staked so they have no downside probably erodes infinite amounts of brand value in the long tail of their customer base. Hope somebody at Stripe is still able to reflect and see this perspective because it seems like their mission was always to make payments accessible to those who can't secure a merchant account. It'd be a shame if this type of approach to payment processing proved radically inferior to the old ways.

I think you're going to need a unique name for the app. Google and Google Drive are protected trademarks, so they wont let you use those. You're allowed to list the compatibility, but you have to make it crystal clear that this is an unofficial client.

Once I had to reconfigure some Airtame devices out in the field. They couldn't connect to the cloud, but I made a hotspot with the same SSID and credential settings as one of our guest networks at work. The devices were able to connect to it, and I successfully reconfigured them. Some time later at work my phone was feeling warm. I was surprized to see I was subsidizing random office internet traffic with my cellular data plan.

Access protection is usually done more diligently for important networks, but the simplicity of a MITM attack makes it apparent that all corporate networks need RADIUS or similar protection.

The "mentions in literature" chart that's posted in the article is comparable to "volume of searches", because they both pertain to societal change. A data-centric evaluation of the phenomenon would focus on actual "occurrences of hiccups".

Unnecessary borders create visual complexity that increases the load on perception, which reduces cognition. It's not a fad thing. It's usually covered by visual communications curriculums with regard to Gestalt principles, and is well researched by cognitive sciences.

The article omits the size of the company. Apparently 54 people were employed at some point[1]. LinkedIn now lists 36 employees[2].

Search volume for hiccups has tripled since 2005, eclipsing the interest in skunks. Confusing article.

The article ignores the data.

> A twistlock and corner casting together form a standardized rotating connector for securing shipping containers. The primary uses are for locking a container into place on a container ship, semi-trailer truck or railway container train, and for lifting of the containers by container cranes and sidelifters.

I usually try to flatten the branches, using `else if` when a `switch` statement isn't viable.

  if (A && B) {
    return 1
  else if (A && !B) {
    fix(B)
    return 1
  else {
    return 0
  }

Love their work, but the new website sucks. Let me look at things on my own time. But I guess a person who's tired of being worshipped for things they did twenty years ago would prefer you don't pore over them.

To those who find the concept hilarious.. The specific value proposition of this app is "automatically turn off notifications when screen-sharing." Automating everyday tasks seems like exactly the type of thing we use computers and software for.

Given that they keep postponing the transition to PoS, wouldn't it be smarter to remove the artificial difficulty increase and make the network more efficient?

Innovation comes from experimentation. It's useful to have hypotheses and quantitative/qualitative data to back the assumptions up or disprove them.
