I was just talking to my paid investor who knows about this shit.

She said to avoid it like the plague. Sure you could have made some money at one point. But now it's just a bubble waiting to crash. There's no regulatory backbone to the thing.

4K in 24 hours... at least with tulips you could eat them.

At least they have an idea now that there's a problem somewhere that needs fixing, and it's not hidden for an actual launch.

Good test. Try and break it.

Found the optimist!

meh, as it was explained to me.

Publishers don't really care who sells their books... as long as they get sold.

When Borders closed down, the Industry didn't get any smaller. B&N and Amazon just took up the slack.

Electronic or Physical, it doesn't matter.

And as far as distribution, it's quite a bit different than what it was even 10 years ago. Pubs used to send out thousands of copies of the latest and greatest. Only to get thousands returned. Now they are more picky about placement and quantity. And their turn around when from a week or 2 shipping, to 2 days.

That is encouraging to hear. I've had mixed results.

The Users will never do that.
My code doesn't need documentation

I haven't seen any Nvidia driver install adds with mine as well. However I did just start seeing One-drive upgrade adds in my File Explorer... which I immediately disabled. Under the File/directory options checkboxes, there's one there for Sync service notifications.

But that was the only place I've seen them to date.

I started at 36K in 1998.

Nowhere near 160K now, but a lot closer to it than 36K.

Also it helps to work in the Mid-Atlantic region and not bay area. The dollar goes quite a bit farther.

I often think about what working in the Bay area would be like. I may make more, but at what cost.

yep,
1. update makemkv
2. rip movie
3. handbrake to convert.

or

download already ripped/converted file.

I hate forced previews as well. I want my device to do what I say, not what some movie boss wants.

Seconded!

any external calls weren't coming in. sound like they're starting to get it moving again.

Streaming Services are by definition a Service. Other Services in the state are taxed at 6%. Streaming services can be considered a Luxury item, nobody needs netflix to live. You won't die without it.

the Vaping taxes are essentially the same thing. You don't need to vape. It has health issues just like regular smoking. Kids pick it up as being "cool". Tax it like cigarettes..boom done. I can think of about 5 Vape stores in my town, why on God's green earth do we need 5 in small town? Survival of the fittest, some will close.. I'm sorry. oh well.

Do I like taxes...no. But Wolf also got passed a decent Education budget, finally after years of crap from Rendell and Corbett. So if you are going to tax me 6% for netflix and Amazon Prime, oh well. Maybe my kids will get a better computer system in their school. Or maybe their teachers will get a better contract and be more engaged in the class room .

State taxes don't necessarily suck 100% of the time. there are real benefits that can happen. People need to get their heads out of their asses and realize we all need to work together as a community to keep things from going to total shit. Taxes are one of the ways we are able to do this. /end rant.

What's the real difference between buying a membership somewhere in state and paying 6%, and paying for 6% tax for your Netflix membership.

This is all just making a mountain out of a molehill.

Besides the taxes aren't hitting Netflix, they're hitting us the consumers.

in the end it's going to be just another line on the bill every month.
