Alright, thanks! One more thing to add to the future tech list.

For what it's worth I have really appreciated this thread. I 100% agree with the comments that you have made and try and do the same. Unfortunately I doubt I will ever make the time to create a project like yours and just ignore certain media instead.

They get added to the carousel if they are AMP pages which for breaking news stories is life and death now.

Thank you for this site the collection of data here is amazing!

At what percentage would you allow an AI to consider a game unwinnable? While an AI that behaves erratically when the odds are low might be worth allowing it to be considered forfeit worthy, but the thing about humans is we make mistakes. Therefore an ideal AI that can continue to execute reasonable moves should have a lower percentage threshold where it decides to forfeit. See this match[0] for an example of a spectacular comeback that I feel an AI might have considered forfeit worthy if not well defined.

That's great I'm always glad to hear about the progress updates from them. Setting there service up on my personal website was one of the easiest improvements I have ever made. Thanks mostly to the fact that I have shell access to the server I host on. The auto renew works perfectly haven't even had to put thought about renewing my cert since last year and Let's Encrypt Certs don't last that long. We are getting very close for there to be no reason not to have an HTTPS connection to any website which is a great progression.

Thanks For Everything You Guys Have Done To Accomplish This Let's Encrypt!

That is interesting to me I haven't actually read anything that can be considered a modern best seller on my Kindle, so the books that I generally order are cheaper to get the Kindle version. That being said I do agree with your point if I had to pay more for the Kindle version I would immediately buy the physical book.

So my experience with an e-reader has varied over the years and I had essentially abandoned the idea of an e-reader over the past 5 years. However, I have been in NYC for this summer and riding the subway everyday so I eventually dusted off my Kindle and have loved it! I still think that you are right that a physical book provides a better experience, but the ability to pull out a book hold it in one hand, highlight passages I like, and take notes has been amazing. Not only that but I have enjoyed the fact that once I finish a book I just download a new one and don't have to wait for Amazon or find a bookstore(not that it is difficult to find a bookstore in NYC though). I do believe from my anecdotal survey as well that more people have physical books, but that does not mean that the kindles are nonexistent either I have seen several people with them as well. In reality it is probably closer to 60/40 because the vast majority of people I see on the subway are playing smartphone games or watching Netflix.

Yes I do think this is a tremendous PR campaign.

I agree as well the Intercept post has way more content.

I like the intent behind this idea and think that it is important for ethics to start becoming part of Computer Science. I'd be curious if someone with more knowledge about medicine could explain how those publications handle these dilemmas. Especially with regards to CRISPR Cas9 as that is probably the most famous recent discovery that needs some serious ethical considerations.

My fear is that if Computer Science doesn't start acknowledging the ethical consequences of the work being done that it will lead to a sharp increase in regulations. This fear is primarily held with self driving cars which some seem to have been rushed into production and have lead to some serious consequences.

Alright fair I'll admit I barely touch any editing tools and I only have a laptop to run Linux on right now so I personally enjoy it tremendously. Apologies for letting emotions boil over.

What are you talking about?!? I have to say that is a pretty poor argument. No the gaming industry has not moved to adopt Linux as a platform but that is largely in the AAA games which barely seem to give Windows the time of day as well. No more desktop software?!? What are you looking for in desktop software? The open source alternatives to Microsoft Office are not as nice to put it lightly but there is still enough desktop applications that aren't trapped in the terminal. Yes I still would more so recommend Linux to people that are comfortable with the idea of running things in the terminal and expecting more text based interfaces, but the software does exist.

Thanks for the clarification I can see that is indeed the problem that can occur. I was speculating around the idea that none of these disputes are solved until those who have grown up scanning the world on Google maps are in power. In which case it would be both populism and to some degree world view.

If you want a quick at a glance visualization a bar chart of your calories per dollar amount would help users directly compare two items.

Yes, but what I think OP is more so referring to is the idea that if an international organization tried to solve the dispute most would be in favor of what they have seen for the longest time. Which brings the question of how does Google decide which map it will show the rest of the world?

Wait really?!? I'd love to see a link to that, so China has more knowledge about how the services that control everyone's digital lives function then we do in America. While I see the totalitarian effect that can have the lack of knowledge and trust in these brands is slowly turning me away especially since alternatives exist.

I'll admit the mobile version of uMatrix on FF could work a lot better especially considering I have to disable and enable it in order to get it working at times. That doesn't diminish the fact that I like having the option to do so. Most of the time if I don't want to spend to much time configuring a website I just open it in Chrome.

I was interested in comparing what you are building to the loop habit tracker that was linked in the parent but all you site has is a text description and a sign up link (at least on mobile). I'd recommend adding some images so people know what they are signing up for since we all have more accounts then we are aware of anyways...
