This is not really "huge", sorry. For one thing, it's still an intrusive method which requires brain surgery . I expected something like radioactive isotopes but no, this is easily summed up as "better electrodes".

But sadly this is not something Google and Microsoft would collaborate on. I would rather expect them to ready the lawyers.

Depends which users. A lot of teenagers are "mostly on Instagram" or "only use it for Messenger". And teenagers are apparently an important population to marketers. I know FB owns Instagram but the point is, Facebook as

Wonder where this title comes from? What makes a sense of achievement "false"? As far as I can tell, this isn't defined in the article. Is climbing mount Everest a "true" achievement? What about winning a chess matc

Just to counter-nit-pick, the word "bible" is very often used as meaning "the most popular book about a certain thing", the book doesn't have to be accepted by everyone in the movement. And Atlas Shrugged is almost

I've had a very similar experience on Linux. Love to build projects with Python, hate to use other's Python apps (unless they're packaged, in which case I don't even have to know).

It's weird because it's a valid point, but they go on to elaborate using absurdly misguided arguments. They're mostly developing on the importance of being smart, all the while misunderstanding what being smart is (it'
