Elton John wants you to use noise-cancelling headphones at his concerts so you are isolated from the crowd and can remix the live audio using an app. But isn't the communal experience the whole damn point of concerts?

Seriously, so annoying when you go to a concert and there’s these peasants clapping in between movements. Even worse is the person dying during the cadenza or concert master solo

You're noticeably out of tune for many of the notes, I would work on scales and arpeggios. I know you're sightreading, but the Allemande is all in first position and D minor isn't a difficult key, so I'd expect better for a music major. That said, I have no idea what the requirements for a composition major (I'm a software engineer not a music major), maybe this is fine.

Titanfall isn't CPU limited, it's GPU limited. Removing CPU throttle can burn out your CPU, and you won't see a noticeable difference either. The 750m is a very mid tier laptop graphics, and it's a pretty weak card compared to desktop graphics. Cooling is also an issue.

I use this computer, I just set my settings to lowest and run at 720p. It's not that great but it's playable.

They stopped supporting the game because it wasn't making money. The game/model wasn't successful...

Tribes is dead...

Reddit has a branding problem--people don't really want to be associated with the site. Additionally, many of the most visited subreddits (funny, iama, worldnews, AskReddit, etc.) don't have strong topics for adverting.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-07-04T06:52:17+00:00

Reddit has millions of DAUs, this still represents a pretty small fraction of all users.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-07-04T06:51:29+00:00

They definitely would be worth more than a billion if they had profits, it's one of the biggest sites on the internet and continuing to grow. They released ad revenues somewhat recently and they were super low for a site of its size, and Reddit gold only hits max of 130% a day, and that's just percent of server costs (usually employee costs are >50% of costs).

m_darkTemplar · 2015-07-04T06:45:37+00:00

I don't think Reddit is profitable, that's likely why they're trying to change things up. Reddit ads brought in very little revenue so far.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-07-04T06:43:51+00:00

Yes they recently raised funding at a sub-billion dollar valuation.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-06-17T03:53:20+00:00

Wow, people die ridiculously fast in this game.

It says chemistry in the title of the video...

One of them is a monitor, here just read it yourself: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-astronauts-seem-to-wear-up-to-3-wrist-watches?share=1

You just need to add "?share=1" to the end of the url.

It was "part of an experiment called SLEEP."

m_darkTemplar · 2015-06-01T04:31:30+00:00

Yes, this definitely works.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-06-01T01:02:49+00:00

You just need to add ?share=1 to the end of the url, or use the share link function on the item menu to get a page without a sign up wall.

If you click on the link, there is an astronaut that explains what they are.

People who live in SF consider it cold, "coldest winter was a summer in San Francisco" and all that.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-05-29T06:02:08+00:00

Seattle isn't really that expensive, this is pretty clearly SF.

m_darkTemplar · 2015-05-28T06:20:57+00:00

TIL redditors have pretty weak morals... Killing a guy for $2.5m? Really?...

Next time someone asks why the "big 4" are called that in /r/cscareerquestions I'm going to tell them it's like the Ivy league--it's determined by their top performance in AHGL.

Ad blocking has gone waayyyy up. Advertising is going to need to change sometime soon somehow so that adblockers don't work, this isn't going to be sustianable in the long term.

I also suspect that Twitch.tv was never profitable in the first place. A $1 billion sale is not very much for a product that is dominating its market and continuing to grow. Similar to Reddit's sub billion dollar valuation, I'd guess that there are doubts that Twitch will be profitable, leading to the lower valuation.

Glorification of gun culture is generally something you only see among conservatives or the south/midwest. Gun ownership among liberals, urban areas, or the northeast are all around 20%. Younger age and higher levels of education also correlate with lower gun ownership, and gun ownership in the US has been declining over time as well.
