This documentary is great, I thought I knew the Tetris story, but this filled in every blank.

You can see the unregulated AI in the cryptocurrency markets.
I wonder what the profits have been so far. People have invested in faster internet trunks for trading ages ago, just for a few ms quicker trades.

jumpkickhit commented on People leave managers, not companies blog.intercom.com/people-... · Posted by u/theyeti
Hey all,
I'm the blog author, Rich Archbold from Intercom. Just to clarify …
I wrote this blog, with the exaggerated / cliched title, to try to speak to the large cohort of over-confident, under-skilled and often lacking-enough-self-awareness, managers out there. I was (and often still am) a member of this cohort. Being a great manager all the time is really hard and almost impossible IMHO.
The goal was to hopefully try and generate some more self-awareness and introspection and thus make life a little fairer, more pleasant, more growth-oriented and hopefully more successful for all concerned.
I wasn't trying to deny or downplay that people also leave their jobs for all of the other reasons highlighted by folks here.
Thanks, Rich.
I liked the "tracking the dust in your phone" part. Hehe

An interesting article for sure. I sure wouldn't have predicted what happened to digg.com.
Also with automatic videos playing on so many sites, mixed with bandwidth limitations set by telcos, some users might opt out of websites that do that to save on bandwidth.

Will Intel release it as a patch/firmware for those of us who have hardware by OEMs that aren't likely to offer anything?
jumpkickhit commented on Monthly Amazon Prime membership fees are about to increase techcrunch.com/2018/01/19... · Posted by u/el_duderino
Amazon has done what many others dream of: I basically forget that I'm paying for Prime every year. And I perceive that it gives me enough value that I don't mind, but I've never actually checked how many orders I place each year vs. the delivery cost for them if I didn't have Prime.
By comparison, Google sends me an e-mail every month reminding me how much I'm paying for Google Play Music. I don't mind it, but I wonder if it affects their retention rates to do that.
Prime is just a sunk cost. You think, "Hey, I have prime!" and order from Amazon. "I was going to anyway" you think.
You stop price checking. Amazon is far from the cheapest place to order things now. Depending on the item of course.
Next time price check an item before just grabbing it on Amazon, I did. Saved over 40% by doing so.
I have released a ton of digital pictures under Creative Commons, for damn good reason. However, this solitary picture was not released under CC. Google just helped themselves to it.
I know you Google guys are here, I've read your posts, I have nothing against you. You are walking over the line here, and i'm telling you now before a legal team does.
I hope you listen.
