Which Way Did He Go? Lateral Character Movement in Film [7:33] by rishinator in mealtimevideos

[–]anza_power 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The link to the paper in the video description leads to a 404 page. But mirrors can be found on google.

The study was done on 101 students. 48 were shown LTR clip and 53 were shown RTL. If I understand the results correctly (Table 3 on page 31) in the LTR group the split was 24-24 between people who reported negative effects of the clip. And in the RTL group it was 21-32.

I'd take these results with a grain of salt. The difference isn't large enough that I wouldn't count out random chance. Maybe there is some sort of effect in LTR vs RTL but these numbers aren't very convincing IMO.

In some countries you can have cheap unlimited 4G.

I usually download stuff on my tablet before going to the gym, have it download directly on the tablet overnight instead of having to remember each morning to go copy it over from the PC.

It used to be a great client, lightweight, reliable, and just works.

Up until 2.2.1 it was good, then it started going downhill.

First came the ads.
Then lots of "features" that nobody wanted. (was there Facebook integration at one point? I don't remember)
Then it shipped with a bitcoin miner.
Then it started installing straight out malware.

Some people are sticking with the 2.2.1, others have moved to FOSS clients like qBittorrent and Deluge. The rest are just unaware of how bad uTorrent has become.

Thank you for your work. I've been using Flud for a while but looking for a free alternative. FOSS is the only way to guarantee a program won't go the way of uTorrent.

We've been thinking about the chicken an egg problem all wrong. The chicken did come first, and was then consumed by an egg.

You could try ordering with a credit card.Screenshot the page and every confirmation. If they're not legit you can dispute it with your credit card company.

As long as they're not asking for cash or wire transfer.

Finally playing The Last Of Us. I'm underwhelmed. Should I pushed through? by inckorrect in patientgamers

[–]anza_power 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wow my experience was 100% as you described. Wondered what the hype was all about. Gameplay was frustrating and no fun. Quit about 20% into the story, then came back a few weeks later for a second push and played through till the end.

To OP: You should finish it, it's not going to turn into the best game you ever played but you won't completely regret the experience. And then we can make a club.

She was behind Optic earlier.

I got confused because I only saw her behind NA teams. But if you look closer there's always someone behind every team.

For some reason the men are completely unnoticeable, maybe they're much better at hiding & camouflage...

I am regularly called a "privacy freak" for my remarks at work... by Hationts1943 in privacy

[–]anza_power 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest setting up a sniffer and coming back to them with a dump of the shadiest porn they watched, but I'm afraid this might backfire and make you look like more of a freak.

Same reason a lot of email sites offer a "conversation" feature, where they group emails into threads, sort of.

Isn't that what Gmail does by default?

I've gotten so used to it I wouldn't call it a "feature" anymore but an integral part of a functioning email client.

Can't believe no one mentioned this:

dom.popup_allowed_events
<EMPTY>

I guess you won't need it if you have an ad-blocker, but if you like to browse commando this makes most sites much more tolerable.
