We don't have a good way to measure the effectiveness of web ads. It's just that we have SOMETHING we can measure easily (clicks), so advertisers have latched on to that and pretend it's the only thing that matters (or at least the only they they'll pay for).
The other major problem I see is there are no numbers on this thing so it's not alpha-numeric, just alpha.
That's standard for mobile keyboards for some reason. Even ones that claim to be "full-qwerty" keyboards leave off the number row and make you use the symbol modifier to access numbers.
Hopefully the people writing the algorithms put minimum prices on things. With stocks there's no clear minimum price that you'd want to cap trading at, but selling physical goods, you don't want to drop your price below what it actually cost you to provide the good. If you have to sell at a loss to undercut your competitors, you probably want to let them take the sale. You're not going to make it up on volume.
And if the algorithms go crazy and prices on everything drops to zero? Well, good for the buyers! Bad for the sellers, but they should have been using non-stupid algorithms. I doubt the failure of a bunch of Amazon affiliates will be that significant to the rest of the word
"In a speech Wednesday, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson acknowledged that burning of fossil fuels is warming the planet, but said society will be able to adapt.
Yes, I believe we'll be able to adapt. But we need to actually do that. Partially by limiting our fossil fuel consumption, partially by taking other measures. It's no good to just say "we'll be able to adapt" and then just carry on, as we were, and not actually do anything to adapt. Whatever we do, it's going to take time.
And I'm sure that the minority who weren't drunk will be satisfied to know that you think "the majority were drunk" is good enough reason not to overrule their convictions.
It wasn't around for 4 billion years. Probably only a few hundred between Creation and the Flood. And it didn't "just decide" to collapse, God made it collapse to punish all the wicked creatures he created.
There's no science in this "theory" of the hydrosphere. It's just handwaving explanations necessary to take the Bible as literal Truth
Sabet says she later called Apple's corporate customer relations, where an employee reportedly apologized and told her she could buy an iPad online.
Isn't that nice. She gets "an apology" from some guy on the phone. Not from the employee who refused to sell to her, or anyone involved at that store. And then she's told "Well, just buy it online, what's the big deal?"
Apple's doing pretty well financially, it's failures can't have been that awful. Same with Google and Microsoft (Though MS's big failures seem to have been rather larger affairs. When an entire generation of your OS is generally hated, that's a bigger failure than a web service not being used.)
Call me an "Apply zealot" if you really want to, but the media didn't make a big deal about the failure of those products because they never made a big deal about those products to begin with. What are they going to say. "This product never interested us enough to cover it when it came out! But let's laugh at Jobs because of its failure..."
You'd think his first goal would be to get a couple of successes under his wing. Be able to point to a case that he won for his client, "see, I can make you big bugs, just like these guys." Then it doesn't matter how many cases he loses, he'll still have that one case to show people.

Well it has worked for years outside the Internet, and it's still working there.

Just wait till I tell everyone at school that you posted "OMG Love this!" to Rebecca Black's Friday

Who is claiming they deserve lighter sentences?
So because other protesters where doing worse things they have grounds to punish minor offenses more harshly?
Especially if you don't actually want to read everything. It's easier to skip over questions that don't interest you in text.

Sorry, Apple has a patent on innovation.

You asked why Microsoft requires secure boot, not why Microsoft's users require it.
If we're at step 5, well it's too late, not much left to do.
Yes, I believe we'll be able to adapt. But we need to actually do that. Partially by limiting our fossil fuel consumption, partially by taking other measures.

It's incompatible with IPv6.
Leave sex-ed to the parents (so they can ignore it), but leave discipline to the schools!
I imagine your customers will get a bit annoyed if your great them at the door and ask them to sign a contract.
Well, sleeping in your car drunk is less likely to get you or someone else killed. So that's an incentive.

Some dinosaurs still exist! Therefore No Evolution!
Wait, was that supposed to make sense? The discovery that Coelacanths were not exinct didn't shake anyone's belief in evolution, did it?
