the talent deficit posted:cause i hardly ever decide on a restaurant and then want to see it's menu. i go to doordash, search for sushi and then pick the place with the prettiest pictures isn't door dash and ubereats just delivery apps though? do you use those if you go out somewhere too? for me i just pull up google maps, search "sushi" and it will show me close lcoations with pictures, reviews and their menu pulled from whatever website seems to have it all in the info box

LanceHunter posted:In the early days Yelp spent a lot of money throwing parties and other events or their “most valuable reviewers”. It was the saddest goddamned thing. i had a friend who would take me to these and they were usually pretty fun (in the sense that there was generally a copious amount of free alcohol). made a bunch of friends shortly after moving to a new city at them, and now none use the site at all. i won't deny that it's p sad, tho

oh hey i hadn't heard anything about the google walkout in awhile https://twitter.com/rj_gallagher/status/1074718903190896640 https://twitter.com/rj_gallagher/status/1074760378079416320 The Intercept reported in November that privacy and security employees working on the project had been shut out of key meetings and felt that senior executives had sidelined them. Yonatan Zunger, formerly a 14-year veteran of Google and one of the leading engineers at the company, worked on Dragonfly for several months last year and said the project was shrouded in extreme secrecy and handled in a “highly unusual” way from the outset. Scott Beaumont, Google’s leader in China and a key architect of the Dragonfly project, “did not feel that the security, privacy, and legal teams should be able to question his product decisions,” according to Zunger, “and maintained an openly adversarial relationship with them — quite outside the Google norm.” so it turns out they've been whistleblowing, or leaking

It will be funny if it turns out they just reassigned the project to a different group or subsidiary.

Penisface posted:also as north korea illustrates, you really do not need a lot to keep up a functioning military apparatus, all the russians had to do was mostly to keep the soviet machinery running, and a lot of that stuff is really bullet proof and you have 40 year old tractors still in good repair and use because at some point the russian factories were KPIing produce by the ton, so to meet quotas they made everything from iron and steel forty year old tractors in working order are extremely common in the united states and canada just, they are collectors items for old men to putter around with, not working implements. actual farms use much newer equipment to enable vastly higher productivities this is one of those comparisons where real gdp is a more valuable figure than ppp gdp all of the former ussr is marked by lousy agricultural productivity

this is p fascinating https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/why-536-was-worst-year-be-alive one of the worst years in human history was 536 - europe was covered by darkness for 18 months, it snowed in china through the summer and massive famine and plague scoured the known world. they never knew why (there were some guesses), but now they're pretty sure (based on evidence extracted from ice cores) that it was a series of icelandic volcanos going off in rapid succession that hammered the northern hemisphere they also can track the precise moment the economy recovered - when those same cores show an uptick in lead, which meant smelting and casting new silver coins was underway again (that took about 100 years) the dark ages loving sucked it was also the final death knell for the restored roman empire - emperor justinian, working out of constantinople, had reconquered most of the old roman territories around the mediterranean, and was about to push forward and retake the rest. and then this event hit, and the black death (called the plague of justinian) hit the capital city (probably the most populous city on earth at that moment) and killed 40% of the population in a single year. welp, there went the manpower pool and economic base to launch any further conquests. the plague bug originated in equatorial africa, and it never made it up the nile to europe, because passing through the desert would kill the rats and fleas that carried the plague - at least until those volcanos in 536 dropped temperatures by 5-6 degrees in the hemisphere and for a year or two the plague carriers could pass downriver and make it to the mediterranean boy im sure glad we arent changing the way deadly but isolated diseases spread by loving with the climate on a macro level. that would be really stupid! also once all that ice loving melts, there goes all that fascinating historical evidence

I travel extensively for work and often use Yelp to help pick where I'm going to eat. The google maps thing when searching for food or restaurants is a bit wonky, from the interface, to how it renders and displays and navigating through pictures and comments. Yelp is not great but I was agnostic before I began traveling a lot and I've kind of gravitated toward it as I think it's a bit higher quality than the lovely review integration maps has. I enjoy how I can easily control for distance and other parameters in search such as open now, liquor and other stuff. The map display is very nice too of the hits. I only use yelp for restaurants and bars never services. Because I'm not a turbo nerd I also often ask people but usually cross reference w yelp E:I do like how maps colors the entertainment or bar areas a beige color tho Waroduce fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Dec 18, 2018 |

Plank Walker posted:yelp sucks and yelp users suck more. imagine being such a big loving nerd that you voluntarily write book reports on your dinner as a grown rear end adult About 18 years ago I worked at a car company with a lot of retired guys (who all retired from said car company) who were just working part-time for something to do. One of the guys was someone who meticulously detailed everything he did. He kept a report of number of red traffic lights he hit, green lights, time to get to work. When he went out to eat, he'd record what everyone had, whether it was any good, etc. When he went on vacation and came back, you could ask how it was, and he'd hand you a folder that had a full report.
