  1. It it really doesn't fucking matter what you think. You're not a scientist. You're not a researcher. You're not tasked with understanding climate change and the drivers of climate change.

    FYI the weather channel are not climate scientists. Just ass-holes that want to make a buck by playing on people's fears.

    Actually they have jackass. When you develop a model, you need to be able to predict current and past events. Then to be useful, you need to be able to predict events that current models do not. You can fuck off and die now...

    So it's not surprising you came up with a result that supports that conclusion. It would be more convincing if you were looking for something else and then came up with that conclusion, when you eliminated other explanations.

    Why China was involved is curious thing...

    So basically it doesn't care what the content is, just that people are watching it, hence it recommends it. Yeah real threat to Democracy....

  20. Somebody didn't read the article.

    "Economists have been puzzled in recent years by the so-called “productivity paradox,” the fact that the digital revolution of the past four decades hasn’t resulted in big gains in output per worker as happened with earlier technological upheaval. Many developed economies have actually seen productivity stagnate or decline."

    "Microsoft identifies a number of possible reasons for this negative impact, including: workers who are too distracted by a constant influx of e-mails, Slack messages, Trello notifications, texts, Tweets – not to mention viral cat videos – to concentrate for sustained periods; workers who aren’t properly trained to use the new technology effectively; tech that isn’t adequately supported by the business, forcing workers to lose time because “the computers are down;” and workers who suffer burnout because, with mobile devices and at-home-working, they feel tethered to the job around-the-clock."

    Did you see web browsing in there? Did you read the part about distracted by constant interruptions or the bit about lack of training. Jackass.
