People often don't know what they've been missing out on until you show it to them.
It's nothing new. For instance, face unlock was available on Alienware laptops 7+ years ago and has been common on Samsung devices for a while. The fact that Apple users "discover" that in September 2017 says a lot about this brand and their customer base.
Can you not just let things happen without being an arsehole about it?
No. The proper way to deal with this nonsense is to be passive-aggressive and constantly throw tiny rocks at this Wall of Mediocrity until it crumbles. Not that it needs it; idiotic dogmas built on the shaky foundations of mindless followers (i.e. you) never stay in place for long, they're usually soon replaced by some other flavor of shallowness and hypocrisy.
Google already got caught with their pants on their ankles, positioning themselves as Saviors of the Ostracized IT Minorities, just to get slapped with lawsuits and soon class actions because they pay women less than men. Which paints their whole "let's hire women" thing in various shades of greed.
My current beef with him is that Android is still total crap on the tablets
I have the latest Samsung tab (10 inch) and it's a magnificent device. Snappy, polished, free of bloatware. Menus are friendly and convenient, the browser (not chrome) is fast and has a sensible adblock ecosystem, gps is great, cameras are great. Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't do wireless charging, which is one of those things that once you've tried it you don't want to go back to what you had before.
So yes Android can work on tablets, just not on google ones. Stil I wish there was a more open solution like plain Linux on mobile devices.
they probably bought diversity since the billions they poured in "girl code" bootcamps didn't deliver the right kind of females they need to fill their ratios (i.e. non-white, non-asian).
It's becoming increasingly expensive and difficult to live up to their level of phony.
There's no such thing. Metrosexual means "a young, urban, heterosexual male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste".
Most are limp dick clintonians, so there's no way they could be a top. Why do you think dildo sales are breaking records in blue states?
people go to brick and mortar stores to browse and see product in person and then go online to buy it from a cheaper source
I don't get it. Spend an hour to go fuck around at Best Buy touching shit covered with the sweat of countless strangers, then head back home to order the same thing online from Amazon (which will probably be a refurb), then wait a couple days, and either be home to receive the package or head to the UPS dump with a delivery notice to get your stuff.
Your time isn't worth much if you do that. But again, some people make their own deodorant and toothpaste to save money so maybe it does happen.
If true, this story would be disappointing, because of the hypocrisy if for no other reason. I've searched for articles or photographic proof of the claim but not found any yet...
None of the two Youtube links offer proof. They both manage to talk about it for 18 minutes, repeating over and over what is basically already in the title of their videos, and one of them is mentioning the other. But no evidence is offered.
Not only that, but in both videos they assume the guy doesn't use Linux at all, based on the alleged fact that he did a presentation using an iPad.
I guess we'll never know if it's true because now the the focus is not on facts anymore, every source will just start quoting each other.
Webvan were right. They just came in 15 years and 15 billions too early. If they had launched a year or two ago during the startup gold rush they would have enjoyed unlimited funding. It would have failed eventually but they could have published their story on medium.com and they would have been heroes instead of losers.
"Dollars in, dollars out" doesn't tell you you which ads are more cost-effective
You have a specific landing page for each ad. Then you track that contact through to the purchase
it works if you do CPC only, which not only is costly, but is also a dying vehicle.
See:
Google’s CPC fell 23% in the quarter, compared with a drop of 7% in the same period a year ago, while TAC increased to 22% of advertising revenue from 21% a year ago, a combination that could be worrisome for Alphabet.
We're in year 3 or 4 of this constant shrinking of CPC, which is not surprising since it doesn't work. And now even Google is struggling to attract business.
Not if you value your money. You should analyze it yourself. The most important metrics being dollars out, vs dollars in.
"Dollars in, dollars out" doesn't tell you you which ads are more cost-effective, unless you only pay for CPC ads, have a very limited number of ads, and have no other source of revenue
Given that this advertising is usually targeted at the 80% or so of the population that barely know what an internets is, I wouldn't agree with you. I still come across plenty of people that install stupid shit like Honey or coupon printers, so SOME advertising works, you just need to target it in the right way.
The same could be said for Nigerian Phishing scams.
Than those phishing scams are amazing, because on my domains I see a lot of traffic hitting tracking URLs that are not indexed and are only linked to garbage ads for which I pay pennies.
I don't know why, but a lot of people click on ads.
Correct, you should know to the penny, to the minute how effectice your online ads are.
You mean that you should get from Google metrics about how effective are the ads Google is selling you, or that you should get from Facebook metrics about how effective are the ads Facebook is selling you, without in either case having access to the information needed to verify the metrics they give you?
KDE Plasma is very nice. It is currently the most advanced and polished desktop, of all o/s (not just Linux). Little annoyances (like incompatible clipboards) are a thing of the past. It's a very pleasant environment.
Between the old school GNOME and the buggy Cinnamon, KDE is a pretty good option.
Why don't these chicks just identify as male if they want higher salaries? Problem solved.
Only men-born men get higher salaries. Womyn-born men lose on all fronts because they miss out on both cisgender privilege and systemic paternalistic privilege, while being victims of industry-wide sexism and unsafespaceness.

hiring people enough to replace mom and pop stores
Yeah, they're "gig-economying" jobs that were already low-paid and uncertain. True pioneers.
They could call it something like "web van".
Webvan were right. They just came in 15 years and 15 billions too early. If they had launched a year or two ago during the startup gold rush they would have enjoyed unlimited funding.

Honestly I'm not a fan of Surface because the keyboard sucks and I'd rather chew glass than use Windows. But it's not a device with decade old specs.
What laptops 10 years ago had quad core processors, 8+ GB RAM and 512+ GB PCI-E class SSDs and a higher than 1080p display?
Are you talking about Surface or Macbooks?
So you must be visiting Pornhub for the articles.
