Correct me, but if two people create a SAAS that can replace a 50 people SAAS, compete on price and the competitor is forced out of the market, wouldn’t this show up as an reduction in GDP? Efficiency (GDP/time_worked) should be up though, and AFAIK it isn’t.
Luthen: Turning back will be impossible. You knew where this was going. You've always knew. Has anyone ever made a weapon that wasn't used? The network has been built. It's up. It grows or it dies. We've waited long enough.
Mon: Do you realise what you've set in motion?
Luthen: It was time for that as well.
Mon: Palpatine won't hestiate now.
Luthen: Exactly. We need it. We need the fear. We need them to over-react.
Mon: You can't be serious!
Luthen: The empire has been choking us so slowly we're starting not to notice. The time has come to force their hand.
Mon: People will suffer!
Luthen: That's the plan. You're not angry with me. I'm just saying out loud what you already know. There will be no rules going forward. If you're not willing to risk your conscious then surrender and be done with.
In fact there are even more depth perception clues. Maybe the most obvious is size (retinal versus assumed real world size). Further examples include motion parallax, linear perspective, occlusion, shadows, and light gradients
That implies that the A/B testing will lead to a new version that is substantially more engaging. Maybe so, but it seems that the most successful social media platforms arrived at their optimal version more or less immediately.
For instance, I (naively?) doubt that much A/B testing went into designing HN. Yet, no other site holds as much of a grip on me.
Facebook seems to think it will, since they employ A/B testing across pretty much much every facet of the company. Check out Airlock for just one example:
Exactly. I also assume that the author was “writing” his stories in the head, while doing construction. He then just had to quickly put it onto “paper” in his breaks.
You can use 'circumvent' here, but the meaning is a little odd. That's more like heading from Mars to the Sun and finding a way around the Earth to continue to your destination. Usually, people use 'circumnavigate' instead, which is used to describe vehicles (boats, planes, bicycles, etc.) making their way all the way around Earth.
Try Viber out, I'm not that fan of Viber as a messaging app but for phone calls it was great value for the price.
I was looking for a solution when in Asia trying to call locally lines in Europe. I tried Skype first but the quality of phone calls was really deep shit. I was saved by Viber.
