ShadowHawk posted:As bubbly as ad tech is it at least has the ability to target users. That's likely more valuable than the combination of television/print/billboard advertising and those are still somehow enormous industries. If tv/print/billboards were required to have CTRs, I suspect all forms of advertisements would've cratered by now.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I can believe two things at once: that Gawker were bullies who had it coming -- outing that gay executive is only one example -- and that it is a bad thing that Peter Thiel was able to use his billions to destroy them. If I want a test case to be upset about, though, I'll pick the multi-millionaire who tried to take down Mother Jones. That wasn't a libel case, although it was disguised as one; it was SLAPP.  Hulk Hogan going wild in the year 2016. What a time to be alive.

computer parts posted:Chicken Pox vaccine is a pretty big thing too that most people probably won't think about (because they were infected long before it was invented). I found out about this a few weeks ago and it blew my mind. Knowing there's a generation growing up without getting infected by an incredibly common (but hardly fatal) disease just baffles me, it's like someone found a vaccine for the common cold.

But both are unfair to non-SRE's, and it isn't really fair that a longer term SRE gets the same leather jacket as somebody who's going to leave next week, or one that's a semi-retarded SRE gets the same jacket as a good one. It's unfair that the homeless guys out on the street aren't getting leather jackets. It's unfair that I didn't get a leather jacket. Tax the rich so that everyone can afford leather jackets?

Rhesus Pieces posted:Nobody wants to hear "stop eating delicious junk food and exercise," they want organic health potion and bizarre diet rituals instead. Shortcuts always sell better then the hard way and they always will. Alternatively, if diet and exercise were covered under health care (gym membership, a diet food program, ect.), I think we'd see more people at least trying it.

DeathSandwich posted:That's my take away of it. VR didn't have a lot of games. They had a lot of game demos and proofs of concept, but they were sorely lacking on the 'actual fully fledged game' department. Granted, the new Resident Evil was 100% VR comparable and apparently worked really well, but that came out months after the hardware launched and after the initial hype had already faded. VR needed some solid actual games that took advantage of the hardware at release. They needed to have a really good racing game played up. They needed to really throw co-marketing dollars at House of the Dying Sun and really push for that as a 'better in VR' experience. They needed some sort of flight sim that wasn't DCS's "Oh my god this panel has 500 buttons and something is beeping at me and I don't know what and it takes hours of studying a technical manual or an actual miracle to get me off the ground" and more like a PilotWings or Microsoft Flight where you could chill out and drift around an island in a hangglider or cruise around in an ultralight with simplified controls or something. As bad as Mechwarrior Online is, it would've been cool to peek through the side windows of my cockpit, especially when twist blocking. Just not $600 cool.

Jose Valasquez posted:Technological progress creates jobs too. The call center jobs didn't exist 60 years ago but do now because of technological progress. Technological progress has been breaking down middle class jobs into lower class ones since the 90's. Up to 47% of all lower class jobs could be eliminated in the next 15 years. Systemic unemployment is an inevitability and a basic income will be needed to prevent suffering and death.

Rent-A-Cop posted:One is loving with a thing you own, and the other is loving with a thing someone else owns. Do keep in mind that the line between things we own and things we don't are slowly eroding away, so while it seems obvious to us now, all it takes is corporate lobbying to completely flip that expectation just because computers are involved. It wasn't long ago car manufacturers were arguing that car owners should be prevented from changing their own parts.
