I think you have to hand it to Google, that is really next level deep analytics. I feel it would be hard for most companies without huge investment to do this (or maybe not).
It is like the reverse of a "customer survey" that instead of asking and getting an arbitrary number, instead of really detailed level of service performance.
People often consider to use this information for reliability and performance, but you can do much more with the data. For example, if a method has low latency, you can use short deadline with fast retry to improve reliability. If you see a sudden jump of certain usage, you can consider to use batching and caching to reduce your cost. If you see an unexpected usage of a service, you know someone introduce a new dependency in your system. Google teams often use the same data to understand how large services work and how they are correlated.
6% is pathetic increase and stronger sign how little people engage on the platform.
The engagement ratio of Instagram to Twitter is several orders of magnitude off.
You look are Redbull on both platforms.
Twitter they have average of 40 retweets and 150 likes/faves, plus some replies.
Instagram they have 50-80k likes and 100 to 1k comments.
Even if twitter had 1000% increase that would not help the platform where there is so little active engagement.
6% is a pretty substantial increase for just changing the icon and name of the action. Hell it's a pretty substantial change in general for a feature that is presented so prominently.
Either way, how do you propose Twitter gets to Instagram volumes other than through lots of incremental changes? Instagram didn't get where it is today in one fell swoop.
Comparing Redbull on both platforms is pretty meaningless. There are other users who have way more followers/interaction on Twitter. Redbull has a brand that fits nicely with Instagram (photos of extreme athletes), while something like @BreakingNews makes tons more sense on Twitter.
They also post a few times a day on Twitter vs about daily on Instagram, so the interactions are split between more posts. Other users post many more times a day (most likely because they are posting text rather than photos/videos), so they have more posts to compete with.
Yes, but photos of extreme athletes is literally perfect for Instagram. They also advertise quite a bit which is how I see their posts on their. Twitter isn't a great venue for sharing epic photos, it's much better for current events.
They are pretty different platforms. Twitter is mainly read-only and they will not change that, ever. They should start being happy at what they have instead of mourning forever.
Other example is being present if a close friend has something deeply emotional going on. Ideally you should try to stay present with the emotions both with the other person and yourself. If you kept feeling, "lets move on with this", that would not be supportive.
Do you have a partial trial to try using it first, or require a one year commitment?
I do lots of instagram & linking data for bloggers. This looks interesting.
Great work. Big innovation in taking a clunky method of crawling info and turning it into something extremely elegant with how its outputted and someone can work with it.
This is true, Amazon is moving toward more automated shipping. It will lower prices and improve conditions for workers that remain. One evil cured, eh?
That could be a negative since you removed a bunch of jobs. Also working in 100 degree warehouse isn't that bad, i spent many summers working on a farm in a lot worse conditions(heat, sun and ankle deep in pig manure). Using the same logic we should stop eating.
I don't see how jobs for the sake of jobs is of real benefit to society. Just as programmers tend to automate away humans with small shells scripts (costs go down, reliability increases), a robot automating away inventory picking is a good thing (lower cost, vastly decreased chance of injuries, possibility of "dark" warehouses, 24-hour operation, etc)
Maybe I'm being very 1% here (despite not being even remotely near that income bracket), but I'd be perfectly happy to see machines replace humans in nearly all unskilled labor situations. If Amazon is ahead of the curve here, good for them - it's one of the reasons I own [a tiny amount of] AMZN stock. Getting people doing something that requires thinking because we've eliminated mindless work is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. That won't require everyone in the world have a four-year formal education; there are plenty of opportunities that don't require years of specialized training where you're not likely to be replaced by a couple of servos or a few lines of bash.
I have travelled a ton with it and its help up the whole way for 14 months and 36+ flights domestic and international.
