1. Netflix used to have popular movies and TV shows that were either more prominent (unsearchable/algorithmically curated view is NOT advantageous) or simply are no longer available due to planning or competition from other services.

2. HBO Max is absolutely destroying Netflix (and other services) in quality content--both created as well as curated.

3. HBO Max started coming 'free' with my mobile phone plan whereas Netflix is raising its prices and offering me less quality content.

I realize it's not an easy solution on the content side, but there are other opportunities for Netflix to really make a dent in their losses, but for whatever reason they're just not doing it.

You're not wrong; however, no company is completely faultless in the asshole category. Roku is trying to squeeze more money out of their platform, including through monetization of their customers.

While I have no doubt Google is pulling shit, Roku is no better and we shouldn't believe a word they push out when they are in platform contract negotiations like this. It's not the first time Roku has been in this situation and it won't be the last.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

You need a defense against politicians lying? Like beyond just ignoring them?

I for one, welcome our new corporate sanitized Internet. Think of the children!!! LOL...

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Not arguing this method works; it does. Just know that Affiliate marketing tactics are generally a SUPER small portion of a marketing budget (1% or smaller in many cases)--because they don't really work all that well to do anything except attract new customers for a one-time purchase.

It also tends to do well only with retail marketing, because you aren't going to get promo codes for other types of businesses. There are many different types of marketing which go above and beyond the limited scope of retail.

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

WSJ: You wrote that value or creative worth shouldnâ(TM)t be measured by time and that youâ(TM)ve never paid attention to the hours people are working. Yet many people at Netflix describe it as a 24/7 lifestyle. Does the lack of work-life balance or potential for burnout concern you?

Mr. Hastings: Coming back to the athletics, think about a coachâ(TM)s view: Itâ(TM)s not how many hours you spend in the gym, but how well you play. But if youâ(TM)re going to play at an elite level, youâ(TM)re probably in the gym quite a bit. Itâ(TM)s just not the goal state. The goal state is the effectiveness.

He has the capability to change his thinking, as he's proven in the past, but he really needs to get on the ball and fast if he wants to keep his 'great sports team' analogy.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Oops. To continue: I'm just not seeing that it is so hard to access. But then, I use a Linux desktop, which has always come with a proper PDF renderer, there has never been a need to download "Acrobat".

Web pages use SVG to render vector graphics. It uses the exact same imaging model as PDF and is implemented in all modern browsers. The web in general has taken a lot of lessons from Adobe because Warnock and Geshke, in the PostScript Red Book, got so much right about how to build an image model that many GUI developers are still learning today. If you start with a PDF, it should be possible to machine-translate it to SVG and present it as a web page.

PDF exists because it is trivial to generate it from the document renderer meant for printing. Although I have once in a while run into an improperly scaled PDF meant to be printed 8-up, I'm just not
