Pretty much, yes. At its core this is following ONE account, then being recommended accounts that have interacted a lot with that account, and then being recommended accounts that have interacted a lot with those.
Instagram is not this massive omniscient AI that actually understands what is written on the accounts. Nor is Facebook. Nor is Youtube. It is just a collection of "People who liked this also liked..."
Not to mention there are roughly 55 million people in Britain, and the original vote was close to a 50-50 split. Until you show 30 million or more unique votes to cancel Brexit it doesn't mean anything other than "People opposed are still opposed, news at 11."
Look, if there was a costume party in Hollywood and Nathan Fillion showed up dressed as Captain Malcolm Reynolds, you tell me YOU wouldn't be signing the petition for a Firefly reboot the next day.
So you enjoy juggling all those subscriptions. Good for you.
Some people want to just sit down and watch something without first having to figure out which service is active today and what is actually on that service.
That's where torrenting comes in.
It's sad, really. Netflix was THIS CLOSE to winning over piracy because people don't inherently WANT to be criminals... but then everyone got greedy and wanted their own cake instead of a slice of the cake and here we are, torrents are once again becoming the optimal solution because they're hassle-free. For most people, avoiding hassle is the goal.
They don't need to compare to billing; they only need to compare to a map of the US showing where all the residential areas are. Wherever there are people but no telemetry it would be safe to say there's probably a lack of connection - at least to the point of going there to check the speed manually.
I haven't watched the speech, and I don't know how the watch works, but if it doesn't ring I assume it buzzes. He may have just moved to stop it, glanced at the display like you would a watch or anything you are about to interact with, and seen it as a robocall. I recall reading the Pixel will show a warning of SUSPECTED SCAM, so why wouldn't the iOS equivalent?
Not really. You also memorize a whole bunch of things for exams, but that doesn't mean you have actually learned how to put that knowledge to use in a real scenario. It's the whole problem at the core of teaching to the test.
And yet he might go, "Holy shit, we're all gonna die if I don't do something! What kind of fixes do I know about for electronics? Alright. Turn it all off and back on."
And judging from the summary that just might have worked.
The fact that you can only ever play the game through this service and do not obtain a permanent standalone version for your own machine, 'leasing' is the closest term we have.
Yeah, to point to those studies and say they PROVE that cell phones cause cancer is like pointing to people who died in a fire and say they PROVE that you shouldn't heat up your house.
Oh man, now I remember the keyboards at school had this cardboard cutout that fit over the function keys with an explanation of what ctrl/alt/shift/combo thereof along with each function key did in WordPerfect. I think... Shift-F7 was Save, wasn't it?
If it turns out that sound has a negative amount of mass, does this fix many of the problems with dark matter and the weight of the universe? Is dark matter just... sounds?
So this is why operating systems are getting harder and harder to use, with more and more obscure commands to remember and not a single way of getting a quick overview of the stuff you usually use and need?
My monthly possible download is around 100 GB, and that's maxing out the connection so I can do nothing else in the meantime.
This is absolute bullshit and a clear assumption that everyone is sitting on uncapped fiber connections today. If you don't then your money clearly isn't good enough for this company.

The problem with that is that we don't go to bed and wake up at equal times before and after noon.

Paper clip.
Bent out of shape.
I see what you did there.

Games on Steam are not equivalent to games streamed from someone else's cloud service.
Yeah. Back then we went, "But then the pirates will crack it."
Not sure how they're going to crack a game with code they can't touch.
They don't need to compare to billing; they only need to compare to a map of the US showing where all the residential areas are.

Easily. He should have upgraded to the broadband available in his area.

There's a lot of difference between what you tolerate hearing and what you tolerate seeing.
If Google has invented the ability to predict the next 30 seconds of the future I would LOVE to see the technical specs.
Not to mention that if you pause your movie to go make some dinner, visit the bathroom, walk the dog etc. then your download is paused.
If you pause your game for the same reason you stream the pause screen for that long.
As I seem to recall, pi to 12 digits allows you to pinpoint any point in the UNIVERSE to an atom's margin.
What bigger circle are you drawing that you need 31.2 trillion digits?
Yeah, to point to those studies and say they PROVE that cell phones cause cancer is like pointing to people who died in a fire and say they PROVE that you shouldn't heat up your house.
At least the big pharma and corporate overlords EXIST.

Which gravitational frame of reference are you using to determine whether the tree is falling, rising, or spinning in place?
