No, another link to 3Blue1Brown was posted earlier this week and hit the front page. My basic assumption is that when a topic is posted, people will explore that topic and, if it's interesting enough, post further content about that topic.
Ah I get what you're saying. So FitBit doesn't allow other sites to access your data stored. What the heck, I feel like that would damage their utility.
The charge 2 is the same price as the old one -- but I'd agree if they could put an actual gps tracker on a $150 watch -- like with polar m200 -- it'd be a better competitor to other fitness bands.
I can see why there's no direct integration -- isn't it better for a company to ask permission for your data before using it? Like how if you want to sign up for a website through Facebook or Google, they ask first.
I've had mine for more than a year and a half -- my charge hr hasn't failed yet. But my cousins' have, which leads me to wonder what if the issue is user-caused.
I have a charge hr -- mostly for silent alarms to wake me up without disturbing my roommates, and timer function in case I need to track something. Oddly enough I don't care about the step counter or the heartrate sensor.
I feel like buying a Surface just to have drawing capabilities is expensive -- why not just make a screen ascessory that lays onto of your keyboard (or not) and plugs in via USB-C?
Bought out by Facebook -- which is not the norm of most crowdfunded companies. In my personal belief, the crowdfunding model as it exists now is not a form of investment that will scale well. When a kickstarter company fails, it's not liable to all the people it took money from unless by fraudulent circumstances. What I believe will be more viable is a crowdsourced capital fund where an executive acts as a trustee representative and makes investing decisions for us.
I'm going to guess that the person also uses Google docs and or slides which is mostly web-based -- yes you can download it for offline use but that's a hassle.
Yes, Bitcoin has many competitors but it is the only cryptocurrency to have achieved 'mass' adoption. When you think of the pinnacle digital currency, it's Bitcoin -- that has value to consumers and merchants, more than other currencies regardless of their features.
I'd admit that Medium has occasionally weird stuff on its frontpage -- but doesn't every website where content is written by its community have that? Just create an account and browse for a few days to get stories tailored to you. Honestly, I'm fine with Medium as it is because it exposes me to stories I wouldn't have else read.
Would people still have problems with advertisement if it was extremely tailored towards them? I'd presume Medium already collects data on their users and their preferences -- does Medium sell that to ad. companies, and is it effective in its current state?
Maybe Medium can still expand outwards, such as if they created a Google chrome extension or browser annotator to save all the highlights I have on other websites that I read (e.g. NYtimes, Bloomberg); and later using that data to give better ads -- I probably wouldn't mind if it wasn't intrusive.
Slack: used it at a hackathon and found it better than Facebook or Skype or whatever groups use to organize; happy that the club I joined recently as an officer is using it for communication
Uber & Lyft: haven't used it personally because public transportation is cheaper and I can wait, even though they were giving out free credit on my campus; I think carsharing is here to stay, especially if selfdriving cars become mainstream.
AirBnB: surprisingly cheap, found a $200 a night place in downtown LA for 6 people; I enjoy the concept of people sharing their homes and introducing tourists to local culture; however, some regulation is needed to protect both homeowners (from issues like squatting), customers, and renters -- no home should be used for the sole intent of renting to AirBnB and acting as a hotel.
Dropbox: I only use Google Drice so I can't say.
GitHub: hasn't this company been around long enough so that it isn't just hype -- anyhow they should find a way to stop burning so much money.
Stripe: I've heard their API is easier to use than competitors, and it seems they launched Atlas this year to diversify themselves from process payments to include business incorporation.
Last sentence was a bit caustic. Should WikiLeaks even be considered as a reliable source after Assange demonstrated his political bias against Hillary? Also, can you provide a link to NYT admitting to publishing a fake story? Thanks.
