The setting for disabling screen shake doesnt seem to actually disable it. Its really off-putting.

Its inevitable in public spaces, especially when there is an ounce of anonymity.

And it was immediately fouled by racism.

You could set a short timer on your phone. On an iphone, its two clicks away.

I see you chose the superior version of 43% Burnt by Dillinger. It blows my mind that he never became the new vocalist.

> These generative UI capabilities will be available for everyone in Search this summer, free of charge.

This is the end. The fact that they had to say that this is "free of charge" means they are thinking about cost. Both to them now and us in the future. This sucks.

You're missing the point. What incentive will websites have to create that content in the first place if you never visit? This was the contract with google adrev and website owners -- google would direct traffic to your site and hopefully they click around.

If google is now actively keeping you away from content, whats the point in creating?

During the beta, the only consistent HITs were to identify an album based on a picture and 4 or 5 choices (if Im remembering correctly). These paid pretty well since the workforce volume was very low and the service was brand new. Well, I noticed that the image link contained an ASIN. So, I wrote a greasemonkey script that would look it up on Amazon and highlight the most likely correct answer. I then turned around and shared it with the forum I frequented. It became extremely popular and spread to other forums before we moved it to a private forum. The damage was already done though.

People kept asking me to automate it, but I felt it was against the spirit of mTurk. So, another member would take my updates and add an auto-clicker. That lasted for a couple of weeks at most before the HIT volume dried up and very few would be released. I guess Amazon caught on to what was happening. But before that, several forum members made enough to get some high dollar items: laptops, speakers, etc. Eventually, I relented and created a wishlist. Thats how I ended up with the box sets for the first run of Futurama seasons.

That is mostly correct; immigrants account for about 3% of a total 123mil population. Your point does stand, but we are quite visible in Japan -- especially in Tokyo.

You are correct that we do not threaten jobs either. A large majority of the foreign population is working low/unskilled jobs. Generally, the native population is not wanting those jobs.

I can confidently say yes. Choosing between working in two different countries separated by an entire ocean is an option. Moving to a different state is expensive for many, but moving to another continent is only afforded to a privileged minority.

Did you have to choose? Or did you have the option? I would wager to bet that a significant amount of people in the US cant afford to move to another state.

Are you unemployed or just not trying? After 13 years, I think its the latter.

Is array_map and array_filter the common argument? One works against a single element, whereas the other works against multiple. What would you suggest a better param order? Do you know that array_walk exists?
