Companies are trending towards data about you to find out how much you will pay for an item you are or will be searching for. These two companies specifically. They are attempting to combine forces to learn more about you and to help companies who sell you things set the price for as much as you will pay at the time you will be paying for it. This will in turn allow them to predict stock price rising and falling quasi-accurately and will attribute to the downfall of "capitalism as we know it" and the rise of "algo-capitalism" where computers (soon, AI) will make money for people who can afford it, and not for people who can't. This is a massive combination of workforces who produce a massive amount of content consumed by people on the internet, in games and on television. The data generated by those consumers is what is being collected and distributed. You all "know" this, ye who reads the comments. What's it going to take for a person like you to stand up and do something about it? This to me isn't an antitrust issue. It is a play on the economy, nay, the system of the world.
Just my prediction(s). I'm hoping I'm wrong. Maybe I read too much/.
This is the way we like it. One person's chronic inability is another person's cornered market. You're playing right into our hands.:shiftseyesleftandright:
Totally agree with your first statement. I never would have approved this for front page material, the information is not useful in any way.
OMG the phrase just went up % in my house only 2 weeks after I got my glasses. To/. with this amazing maths!!!!
I would like to set up a wall around the UK isps. Instead of sending all our web traffic out of the country or to places like the EU, let's keep our traffic British.
The algorithm is built to provide maximum "nofuckery"... after a certain period of time looking at the content it generates for you, you start to "give no fucks" about whatever is on the page and go do something else. Right?
At my secondary school (circa 1996) - unisex bathrooms. For the faculty and the students both - although the faculty had their own bathrooms away from kids). Same story.
I don't get why people are so obsessed with gender segregation. I guess it's because the females have couches and candy dispensers in their bathrooms and they don't want to give them up.
right,... lol teaching an AI to social media based off of the blabber and horse shit on social media is wrong.
I honestly don't understand the push for AI. Companies should be working towards expanding the human mind, not the robot mind, imho.
They should add a research and development branch to create a new interface - merge data with consciousness, to speed up analyst intelligence gathering.
Alternatively, they could open a pirate bay mirror and host all the data over bittorrent.
as a small business owner i can tell you all yelp is a disgusting piece of shit, worse than facebook, all they want is money for basically not removing you from any and all search results, they have no interest in helping consumers find what theyre looking for.
This. Yelp is a horrible business model run by horrible people. They're sucking up their funding from small businesses, creating a business model out of something totally unnecessary. They're the cigarettes of the internet.
Sorry for the long URL but this is a page where you can file a public complaint about Yelp, or anyone with a business license really.

You think people with a BA in English are lower class? What an asshole you are mschuyler. Enough said, what's that supposed to mean? This person is a human being. Thousands of kids graduate with BA in English every year, yours could be next.
I think it works on pages with the word the letter combination t-r-u-m-p on them. Like you don't even have to comment about trump, you can just be having an in depth conversation about the game of bridge when all of a sudden, your browser goes blank.
Totally hides not only trump content, but the whole darn page. Slashdot was completely blank, except for the header assets. No words at all. Truly a vanilla web experience.
I'm the child of a muslim... personally atheist but reasonably scared by this headline...
Watched the video and it's just some jargon about a wall and immigration. Of course he's advocating for nothing in particular, probably nothing congress would pass, but what we're seeing here is sensationalist nonsense from a journalist. Trump is obviously not listening to him, or barely listening to him.
Thanks white people for wasting my time. I thought I was going to have to arm myself to defend my constitutional rights against fascism. Turns out the media "GOTCHA"...
They still can't mark them "wild caught" unless they are. I wonder- do they still get labeled as "Atlantic Salmon"?
Not only can they not market them as "wild caught" but presumably they also can't market them as "GM free" unless it is true. Also, presumably, other companies are still allowed to market their product as "GM free" so from this point on if you care about this you should just assume that anything not explicitly labelled as "GM free" is probably not "GM free" or inversely, if you want GM fish then look for companies that do label their fish as such.
Better yet, catch it yourself. It's quite an enjoyable and delicious hobby.

Congress needs to shut up and start doing its job
What job are they paid best to do, exactly?
Argue about raising congressional salaries, or sending billions in cash to Iran, or not doing either of those things.
Leaving tax burden on the working poor (your CUSTOMERS) is such a dick move. Pay your damn taxes.
no money no problems.

damn you Gandhi!
But it would explain to the customs agent why you have no social life that would require social media.
That's not one of the multiple choices they offer you.
no mommy! I can't go outside, I have to learn for one more turn!!!

How do I post a review of Yelp?
I posted one on Yelp!, but it was soon deleted.
