Meh. "all extrapolation" relates to discussion about population. His meta-comment was simply a description of how humans handle (or fail to handle) stress.
You got it. Most of the other comments are comparing apples and oranges (pardon, not intentional). A lot of folks aren't realizing the difference between their handheld and a server farm.
Also a useful caveat: “These things are a bit difficult to tease apart,” Terhune agrees. “In this study, we certainly were not able to do that, so we definitely want to be kind of cautious.”
TFA: Terhune says that it could be that people saw the blue circle on the screen, they perceived it to last longer than it did, and that’s why they held the space bar down longer. Or was time perception affected at a different point—for instance, when they were holding down the space bar?
...and if they were to do all these experiments in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in Psychopharmacology, we would find out an incredible amount of verifiable data about the brain (and LSD, ofc).
...I had Fox headline news on my radio the other day and was surprised to hear one of their normal "invest all your money here" ads, except it was promoting marijuana.
Or the mesothelioma lawyer fishing expeditions. Maybe if the ads weren't tending toward so damn gross?
Or frightening? How about the "help I've fallen and I can't get up" people. The fairly recent one where the camera slowly pans through the house, and then you hear the calls for help fade in from the basement. It was done so well that some people wrote in to have them removed. Devastatingly effective in this case.
Absolutely. We will need several or many tools to take care of these problems. Economic carrots and sticks are only one method, albeit a proven one, that can help.
This is how HBO/et.al. started: q. People said "Why would i want to PAY for a TV channel when I can watch it for free?" a. Well, exclusive content and no ads....and then there were a few ads for a few HBO shows. Ok, we can accept that...sorta like movie trailers. And then you had "This show presented by Proctor & Gambel", but that was just at the start and end, and we said..."ok, that doesn't hurt much"......and shortly after that, the frog was boiled.
PS: from an old rant: "Who needs all these channels? Who the heck is going to watch a channel about the WEATHER?"
I don't understand what all this hate is about commercials. Without them, I'd never have seen the Geiko Gekko story. And they brought back the Caveman episodes, gloriously spread across my 72" screen!

Governance by assassination! What a novel mode. We haven't tried that in forever.
Again, the device is not the cloud.

Ha! Had to google that, but I did get a Ha! for my effort, so well done.
I can guarantee that you're the only coward that "Wudda guessed that!". Troll, BeGone!
Why don't you read the actual link instead of asking rhetorical questions that are literally answered in the article, dumbass?
Whut he said.
Exactly! Fuck, you got it!

How is this news? ... Did that need studying?
It's the difference between an anecdote and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in Psychopharmacology.
Science works.

If you grow it, they will come.

Thanks, your insight has helped to make this clear to me. Every time I've seen those ads I've been so...disturbed.
Funny, thx.
Thanks Bruce. About the only non-troll to respond. Trolls can be fun, but most fail at it nowadays.
well that was interesting. thanks for a new rabbit hole to get lost in.

For everything produced, here are a series of questions that must be decided:
1. Who's going to pay for it?
2. goto 1

a. Well, exclusive content and no ads.
PS: from an old rant: "Who needs all these channels? Who the heck is going to watch a channel about the WEATHER?"
I wonder what TV/radio/etc is like in those special places around the world where that is not common or allowed?

Exactly. If you have to "go home" anyways, might as well "set for a spell and take a load off".
