He's about right but it's not really a ground breaking observation.

The author was lucky to have a half decent experience on the train given the appalling state and cost of our rail network.

I think I might be Finnish

also think they cracked music discovery. Their discovery weekly playlist is stellar.
Love Spotify, disagree strongly with this. My experience is terrible music that doesn't seem to have anything to do with any of the hundreds of songs I have on my playlist. I get this curious Millennial mix of soft rock music with long, boring instrumental guitar strumming, a disco beat and a sleepy, sarcastic-voiced gal (sometimes guy).
It might be because I live in Brooklyn.
And there's no Like or Dislike button like (beloved) Pandora.
edit: Don't think anyone compromised my account.
I've found more recently that the discovery playlist that I also loved is churning up more and more of the same stuff now. Not even a good mix of songs from artists I definitely like - just a very small set of songs from them.
I do love it though, generally speaking although being a heavy daily user I'm not sure the discovery part is actually as good as it initially appears.
welcomebrand commented on Google AMP Is a Threat to the Open Web socpub.com/articles/chris... · Posted by u/zodiakzz
Genuine question: Why do people view AMP as a threat, whereas many Apple's formats/compatibility are non-standard? Is it because many accept privacy over openness?
Example: Apple news or iTunes or Messages
I think there's an element of them forcing an entirely new Google standard (then favouring it in their results) on to something they could just as easily punish (slow sites) directly.
Slow sites can be sped up quite often with small optimisations and improvements and those improvements can be guided by Google tools but instead they're forcing their own new format in the name of speed.

Hey, I'm part of the team that made this, and you have the wrong link. This is our new mobile app: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/mobile/
It's powered by deep learning, and it's way better and more accurate than the current desktop version that's linked here.
I just tried a couple of photos of websites from my monitor and it's really nowhere near close to identifying. One of them was roboto from the play store which I'd have hoped would be an easy one.
Does it struggle with photos of screens in particular?
