It is short-sited to say advertising eats into the profit of the company. When done successfully, it allows for more goods to be sold which increases profits and in turn allows for more research and development and thus better products.

Advertising doesn't necessarily make a product more expensive except where something like cost plus pricing is used.

iOS 11.2.6. Its up to date. I can download it if I search for the app from the app store.
Re:Show HN: Mindset – Self-Improvement Hypnosis on Tuesday March 13, 2018 @07:00PM (#16580655)
Downloading the app doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone 7. Just keeps saying it’s connecting to Apple Music.

Wonder how this compares in size to Dubai's flying taxis. This one seems like it takes up more space.

Based on what?

I used to feel this way until I started telling FB to hide or stop certain notifications. Now, most all my notifications are useful.

> If all giants agreed to open source under the “BSD + patents” scheme, cross-adoption would grind to a halt. Why? If Google released Project X under “BSD + Patents”, and Amazon really liked it, rather than adopting it and losing their right to ever sue Google for patents, they would go off and build it on their own.

This seems like a reasonable argument, but it doesn't seem to have deterred several big name companies from using React. Airbnb, netflix, and dropbox for example.

As someone who played 3 years of football in middle school and 3 years in high school and sustained 2 concussions along with tons of sub-concussive hits, I just hope that by there will be a cure for CTE sometime in the next few decades. Crossing my fingers for Johnson's Kernel or Musk's neural lace to succeed.

How old was he when the early signs began?
This doesn't address parent's comment at all. You act as if there's no difference between calling people out for irresponsible behavior and Orwellian policies to control that behavior.
Re:Google to add 'news feed' to website and app on Thursday July 20, 2017 @01:30AM (#14810201)
The difference is personalization. I never would visit a portal site like yahoo, but every morning I look through my Google Now feed. Relevance matters.
Probably appeals to people with different learning styles than you. Doesn't take much effort for you to stop the video from playing.
> Just hanged out.

Just FYI, this isn't typical usage. People say hung instead of hanged in this instance.

I played around with Watson's visual recognition api and thought it was decent. Care to elaborate?
I'd say AI as a service or cognitive computing.
> Through an opening in the skin, the patient “clicks” the prosthesis onto a metal rod in the bone.

So he has a flap of skin that just spreads apart and reveals this metal rod? How does he avoid infections?
