I use AdBlock Plus of course, so I don't run into this in particular, but I wonder if Amazon's product recommendation feature is relevant here. Notably, it recommends similar products rather than the exact same thing; that seems like it would be an improvement upon the ads in question. I can see how the two products are considered related, even if it doesn't work perfectly.
For example: "Hey, you bought this Flogging Molly CD; you may also be interested in this Dropkick Murphys CD"
As an aside, since I buy different stuff (at least as far as varied music tastes), the juxtaposed combination of recommendations is sometimes amusing.
I tend to keep seeding my uploads even after they've propagated the first time through, so this might fit my usual habit, if I ever got around it, and if my upload speed didn't suck so bad
I bought it in book form due to the movie's presence (especially since I heard knowing the book was useful to understanding the film), even though I never got around to actually watching Watchmen.
Was quite impressed. No wonder it's rated so highly, even amongst regular novels
Military is where the money is, where the magically-cuts-through-red-tape national-security rationale is most available. Seems like reasonable means to a good end though, in cases like this.
Prioritization/deprioritization if it's clear what the facts are before, during and after people sign up. the transparency does seem to help.
Also, reading TFA, this is partially about freeing up capacity on the residential network, and making good nighttime/weekend use of their relatively idle business network.
The suspicions of a smear campaign, but also the common sense "if in hot water or potentially in hot water for one thing, don't go committing unrelated offenses to draw *more* attention to the first issue".
One thing this seems to show me (at least the video does) the rate of completion - how much is sorted by each point in the process the algorithms seem to all do that a bit differently; some have most of the work completed in the beginning, some in the end. Most seem to take one piece of data and plunk it right in order; the merge sort seems to be the only one with intermediate groupings. and there's one final pass to make sure the data's in order.
I notice different sorting processes are appropriate for different RL sorting situations.
[The El itself could have run faster, but I was staying out in the Evanston suburb, and its affected by the bazillion-stops problem that seems to plague all local mass transit.] However, for me, the walking was not the problem, just the navigation of knowing where the stops were.
Yeah, Amtrak *really* could run faster. The wobble hadn't bothered me much. The trouble falling asleep on the overnight train may or may not have been my fault. (There was still a lot of room even in coach.) Yeah, it was late, but with sample size n=1, I can't personally say much.
In that regard, Boston was better, with the bus/train station in the same complex as local subway stops.
Was "NYC" a reference to local mass-transit systems? Expanding those might also be a key, to complete the picture in the manner you're describing.
I've never been to the Big Apple for any length of time, but I was fine with walking+subway/train when I took vacations to Boston and Chicago.
Train/bus station dropping me off in the middle of the city was in both cases easier than the airport. (Chicago was better than Boston at connecting the local mass transit to the airport(s), though.)
indeed, the one time I took Amtrak, the timing of leaving overnight and sleeping on the train was favorably comparable to catching a flight in the morning. Wish I had had better luck falling asleep though, but trying to sleep on an airplane is even less productive.
Same with music. It's hard for it to be *so bad* that I can't listen to it. However, bootlegs, already lower-quality source material, need the HQ help a bit more. [especially when you could choose between a HQ and LQ recording of similar concerts]
Then again, same content in better quality hardly hurts. The specter of inferior artistic content in higher technical quality is where the problem lies, though.

Though I can't/won't speak on this particular case, US antitrust regulators seem to be asleep on the job way too often.
"Dzhugashvili" was Josef Stalin's birth name.

that sounds like a rule that makes sense for purchase of most products. It is my answer to the Coke vs. Pepsi question, for instance.
There was Bruce Springsteen, Madonna; way before Nirvana, there was U2 and Blondie
Whitesnake, Van Halen, and Motley Crue too.
By your British/French phrasing, do you mean the issue of common-law systems versus civil-law systems?
Hey! I (kind of) resemble that remark!

Cool, I'm from Rochester, so that makes a mention of Graflex a local story.
Also, those who insist upon old cameras seem as stuck in the past as those who insist upon old music-recording media. :P
Maybe it's an outlet for any remaining desire to not "act like suits".

yeah, it does seem silly to assume that a sexual assault crime is *never* motivated by sex
yes, conspiracy theories seem to tend to violate falsifiability big-time
maybe *remembers to add Ender's game to book-favorites list*
P.S.
Though I largely agree with his religious skepticism, I also knock Myers for gratuitous obnoxiousness sometimes
I don't understand exactly what's going on here, but then again, I'm smart enough to know that I don't know what's going on.

Kurzweil ridiculously optimistic, Myers ridiculously cynical?
