Perhaps these regions are not accurate. For example:
"frog-drowner," which Americans might use to describe a torrential downpour of rain; "brick", which means "very cold" to residents of New Jersey and New York City;
I live in New Jersey, USA, and have never heard either of these terms. How far down the rathole of subculture usage are they going to go?
perhaps the problem lies further down the pipeline. Google can't hire third graders, yet. There's not much Google can do in a year if the hiring pool they are pulling from has been limited before they get there.
I read here and there about parasite therapy for Crohn's for many years. I keep expecting to hear it is being used but for various reasons still in trials.
You may be right about data pollution, although I have often wondered how easy it would be to tune out what you suggest. If my device randomly visits a needlepoint site, then a site about making home made sake, then FIVE sites about playing chess, it's pretty easy to figure out I like to play chess and the other ones were red herrings. My point is things that are true would rise above the noise of various random hits and would be easy to figure out based on timing, frequency, etc. Now, if I could create various fake personae and have an AI add their activity in the background to my own, probably better. If AI existed. On the other hand, what if there is something you just don't' want them to know? I may not want them to know I like chess, regardless of whether or not I fool them into thinking I also like needlepoint.
If all the startup has to offer is an idea like group video chat, it is going to fail. Ideas are cheap and easily copied. That's always been the case, there is nothing new in this "kill zone." There are reams of analysis on how and when first mover advantage translates into long term business success, and one common thread is that you need a lot more than just an idea.
As you say, this is a problem that has already been solved. There is stll no problem mentioned that benefits from an append only distributed ledger where additions are made by consensus. Except cryptocurrency designed to have no central management. We already have digital signatures and other solutions if we need to implement an integrity control.
The problem is that very immutability. That works great for cryptocurrency ledgers, not so great when the bank or credit agency gets something wrong. (And yelp is already full of garbage reviews.) Since you need to be able to edit the information in every case, it isn't adding anything we don't already have. Unless you can guarantee it will be right the first time and will never need to be changed.
Despite all the hype, I still haven't seen much to convince me blockchain has any sort of really new applications other than the original intent to support cryptocurrency. All the other pie in the sky speculation boils down to applications we are already supporting with existing technologies like good old databases.
According to the article, Ukraine claimed the campaign was in preparation for an attack on Ukraine, not any security firm. Bit strange that the summary claims otherwise
The article wasn't at all clear about what "code written by the Moscow-based security company is embedded deep within American infrastructure, in routers, firewalls, and other hardware" means
I've read about monkeys who have a genetic component providing for fear of snakes, but they never develop the fear unless they learn it from an adult. Monkeys without the genetic component never learned the fear regardless of exposure (Sorry no online citation, I am fairly sure it was in The Tangled Wing by Melvin Konner) This seems like a similar sort of thing, where an external stimulus is simply turning on or reinforcing a built in tendency. Not the same thing as injecting some RNA to introduce a wholly new piece of information Sorry, we still have to learn kung fu the hard way.
That's a good point. I used to always order salad dressing on the side since it was simpler to add the amount I wanted than try to explain it. Another thing I noticed in the video, they have some sort of buffet of various other things you can add to it, so the human is still doing a lot of the work.
"Many users want to continue consuming media while they interact with other content, sites, or applications on their device," Google software engineer François Beaufort explained this past January when he proposed the idea of a browser-specific API, different from the existing OS-level implementations.
"The proposed Picture-in-Picture API allows websites to initiate and control this behavior," he says.

let's hope "stream" isn't too literal here. Dare I say, two girls, one pill cam? It seems I do.

It's possible those are a small minority of the tractor/trailer traffic, so OP might still have a point.

That meat grinder is only turned on every other day, so they have a good sporting chance.

Firefox can do this already, but it's not that effective unfortunately.
Could you clarify why you say this?

Two and a half hours? That's a pretty crappy assembly line.
They had the primary braking system, otherwise the car wouldn't have driven as far as it did without incident.

Actually, I think I saw in the video there is some option to save your favorites so you were on target with that prediction.

I'm not sure I agree that stir-fry qualifies as a "complex meal."
More than that, since the Earth only qualifies as a temporary shelter
