Navigation decisions are choices where I really appreciate an automated suggestion. I'm willing to give up the human part of me that used to drive around lost in exchange for help with those choices.
With my boss reviewing my work in the same environment I'm in, and nobody else developing, the only other person that would be looking at my code is my replacement after they decide I'm not worth my paycheck. And fuck that guy; he's an asshole.
I'm aware that some people have a strong preference, but have never heard a satisfactory rationalization. I'm OK with being wrong; correct me. I'm a programmer by profession, but not by education or experience until recently. I'm actively learning. The only other person that looks at the code uses the same IDE and I'm the only developer. I inherited the 340k lines of tabbed C++ where I spend my days and see no reason to switch.
people (like myself) were taught to use two spaces after a full-stop for DECADES. The predecessors of ubiquitous computing were all taught like that as the only reference was typewriters and which were often taught to double-space.
I was taught this way. This was when fixed-width fonts dominated typing. Now that fixed-width fonts are no longer the norm, I've switched to a single space after the period. My inner pedant screamed at first, but he got over it.
Conversing better with text than phone is a handicap? OK. So, since so many of us are handicapped, why not let us use a tool that addresses that handicap? Even with close family members I use text much more than phone calls. Speaking on the phone, I sometimes forget a detail that's already been communicated or lose the original point when we get on a tangent. That's not an issue when I can see the whole conversation. Or I'll get bored with a 10 minute story about getting doughnuts. Not an issue when I can read the story in 30 seconds and type a 5-word reply that's 100% as insightful as the response I would have given on the phone. This post isn't exactly gold-plated, but it's better than a response I would have spoken as a reply to what you just "said."
You don't. You set the system to err in side of caution...
Each person gets to enter the venue once. If the same guy shows up a second time and can produce a ticket, you had a false positive and a ticketless person may or may not have gotten in.
Have you calculated a ROI for your investment at the gambling tables? You can find better investments, like putting the $$ in the shoe box under your mattress. I assume you find it entertaining and aren't planning a jackpot as your retirement strategy. I had a wife who really liked the casinos and I'd go occasionally, but I never got the bug. It seems like throwing away perfectly good money. If you leave the tables for the bar it's a sure thing.
Which you don't miss until it's gone. Trusting a video not to traumatize your kids while you're in the bathroom is invaluable. A hundred voices will scream, "the TV should be OFF," but I'm not interested; raise your own kids. My kids are old enough to be a little more liberal, but this seems like a valuable enough tool to be a prime candidate for a premium service. I guess ads are more valuable than subscriptions.
TFA says both that satire accounts are allowed and that users must use their real names. Google led me to a couple of FB pages citing their "real name" policy and their policy against maintaining more than one "personal" account. I couldn't quickly find any mention of satire accounts being allowed.
The US has a long way to go, but there are a great number of people in this world that would literally kill to be one of the American "poor".
The rich few have it good and everyone else is pretty much fed. It would be nice to see them sheltered and treated medically too, but there are worse places to be.
You type pretty well for someone "constantly murdered."
You never know. I'm not the original gnick. I murdered the original gnick after forcing him to turn over his slashdot credentials because I liked his sig.
In the blog post, Google also called out its anti-spam, anti-phishing, and Smart Reply features for Gmail -- all of which require the company to analyze email content.
I don't think so. I'm a gmail user and have been since before they stopped scanning for ad purposes. I was just pointing out that our mail was being scanned; I didn't mean to imply a negative connotation. For some people, that's a deal-breaker. If I receive an email that contains "Please RSVP by", a "nudge" might be appropriate.
If they end up being good at identifying messages that really do need follow up...
Which will be determined by parsing the contents of your email. They claim to have stopped reading mail for ad purposes, but they're still scanning our mail.
Archer would be pretty easy to profile. The first time a cartoon character is admitted to the hospital with cirrhosis, they just have to get him to speak. His voice will give him away. He sounds just like the guy from Bob's Burgers.
I can download all my Facebook and Instragram data.
I'm not an Instagram user, but I've used the Facebook "Download Your Data" function. It'll let you download a copy of everything you've uploaded (pics, vids, posts, messages), but it leaves out a lot. Facebook collects a lot of information based on Location Services if it's on and they track web activity wherever they're able. None of that is included in what they make available to download. The stuff that I suspect is most valuable is kept hidden.

you can make choices for yourself
Navigation decisions are choices where I really appreciate an automated suggestion. I'm willing to give up the human part of me that used to drive around lost in exchange for help with those choices.
"Where should I eat?" is something else entirely.

This sometimes leads people to write code with TABS in it, which is something that should be stamped out every time it is found
I'm looking at 340k lines of C++ with at least one tab on most lines. What's the problem?

How do you check for false positives, tho?
You don't. You set the system to err in side of caution...

That's the way I read it every time this comes up.
"Signal the complaints to start." (Cue)
or
"Line up the complaints." (Queue)
Both sound fine.

If you were Zuck or Sandberg, you wouldn't need to. The scam they've got going is much better and more-or-less legal.
...everyone else is pretty much fucked?

That's plagiarism. I don't like what you're implying.

Apparently HDMI 2.1 will handle 8k @30Hz uncompressed or 120Hz using Display Stream Compression.
an explanation about not buying a $14,000 television
At least hold off until you can buy Monster Ethernet cables so you get the bandwidth you need.
Where and when?
June of last year in a blog post.

What are the chances of you being able to find the control to turn it off again if you don't like it?
I turned it on, off, and on again without difficulty. The control is in the same place.
a user has NO clue how far (vertically) they are along the (page)
How do you determine that you're 60% through a page with no fixed size?

I can't imagine going to work every day with that mission.
To maximize the company's bottom line through whatever allowed means are the most effective? A lot of people have that mission.
