It should be a two tier system. Click thumbs-up / thumbs-down, then pick a star rating. So you can mark it as "remember this, also remember a general bad/good" then say how much you actually liked it.
What makes me mad about Pandora is I can't mark "remember this" without changing the recommended songs given to me. I don't want to change my channel, I just want to be able to listen to it later.
That's a very interesting idea/application of the tech. Nice work. All those crappy convenience store robbery videos might actually be of help after that.
I get most everything except groceries from Amazon now. Once I realized it was cheaper to have two 20lbs containers of cat litter shipped directly to my door instead of driving 2 miles and buying it at Publix, it was over. (Still not sure how having that much weight shipped to me is cheaper, but it is)
I use Plex and really like it, but I am looking for an alternative because it doesn't work unless I can login into their server. So I can't watch movies on my TV from my computer unless I can verify my username/password over the internet. Really pissed me off when hurricane Hermine came through and after I got electricity back I didn't have internet for three days, so no streaming to the TV. Of movies I own. WTF.
Cloud? Why would I add even more layers of crap between me and a movie?
Nice! Now I can cancel my Comcast television! And pay more for Comcast internet. And pay $10/month for Netflix, and $12/month for Hulu because I want to watch recent shows, not just seasons from two years ago (without commercials, since I can't fast forward like my DVR can), maybe another $9 if I want Showtime. And then $8.25/month for Amazon prime to fill in some gaps. And I like John Oliver and Game of Thrones so just $15 more a month. Oh! And I watch Stephen Colbert on CBS which was free for like 70 years, but now I'll pay $10/month for that too. Although I do like football so I guess I'll have to find a friend who still has cable so I can use his account to watch the games.........
I agree with this. I'm about 80% google on my computer because I prefer chrome to Edge, but I'm 99% bing on my phone. No real difference on results, but the little extras are slightly better on bing.
My one cynical thought on this is where are all the people who always say "Microsoft just copies other people" and now here's something they've been doing for 6 years and now google is copying. And... silence?
We're not opposed to all this bullshit "everyone should code" crap because we're anti-social curmudgeons; it's because we all understand that it's just meant to try to flood the job market with cheap labor.
Well that's basically off-topic but anyways, do you have any sources for that? No? Is that because it's not actually going to happen and you just made up some bullshit?
Obviously I meant inside and I've never written down a password in my life since not all of us are idiots? Also, I don't really understand why everyone even secures their wifi. I leave guest mode open. You can use my bandwidth and my devices are fairly secured against attack already.

In case you didn't notice we have no choice but Tyranny. So lets make the best tyranny we can. The one we'd rather live under.
In Silicon Valley season one this was the app pitched by the guy Richard bout a Margarita Mixer from. Hilarious to see it become real.

I see the haters are already out, but it looks like we're closer to being the masters of DNA. This is f'ing awesome.

Thank you for explaining this. This one fact invalidates like 95% of the posts on this story.
Thank you for posting this. I just watched that episode and I think I'm going to binge watch the rest in the next couple weeks.
You're in for a treat. His entire catalogue is great.Even his early dimestore novel scifi trash is well done scifi trash.
So the Brexit vote was over whether or not to be nuked. Quite an exit.
"It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if pays off for them"
Regrexit just got a new meaning.

Eternal September was the death of the internet.
I too enjoyed telneting into text worlds and using archie to pull scholarly papers. (That is not sarcasm btw).
But the Eternal September is what brought us all the kickass internet stuff we have now. Without the influx of users it would be basically useless.

Why the hell are you linking to Godwin's Law on wikipedia? Do you really think anyone here doesn't know what it is?

and a less Open product.
nobody gives a shit if their phone is "open". Can I facebook and play candy crush? yes? I'm good.
The outrage is that they don't keep proper backups of their files
They should just redownload it from OneDrive.
Huh. I had assumed that channel encryption would be auto negotiated or something. Should have realized the default would be no security. Thanks!

Oh! That's an awesome idea. I need to put one of those up by my front door.
I actually liked this feature. I could go to a friends house and use their Wifi without having to type in their Kafkaesque 20 character password
This appappapp stuff is annoying. Can we get the cow/moo guy back please?
I don't know why I bother to read Microsoft stories on slashdot anymore.
IFTTT is basically ending and Microsoft offers a free replacement and all anyone does is bitch.
Fuck all y'all.
