For all of those that say walk away, don't buy it. They misunderstand the main purpose of this.
1) Those on leases will get the subscription
2) The used car market, this move will allow BMW to continue to sell features each time the car is sold, as "lifetime" subscriptions are ended when car is sold.
The upfront cost was already part of added packages and that has not changed, nor will it.

As of 2018, July, video games generated sales of US$134.9 billion annually worldwide

The video streaming industry reached $72.2 billion in 2021, with most of the revenue coming from the United States. It is projected to reach $115 billion by 2026
Netflix is smart to see this as a path for growth ...

I have seen more and more of these articles about how difficult it is to build in , how the cost of housing is so high because we can't build in , yet a simple google search of abandoned homes in the UK comes back with a staggering number ... It seems the issue is it has become very hard to build in park land, or to build whatever the whim of the builder is no matter how unsafe or unstable it is. I would feel these articles are more honest if they talked about how they can not revitalized abandoned homes and areas and that policies need to change, and how with housing cost issues, it is so difficult to develop these derelict buildings, except that builders don't want to do this since there is much less profit to be made having to dismantle a derelict building and build, rather than clear cut a forest and build.

IBM and Apple, virtue signal by banning something that might be illegal anyway in the USA.

In India will continue to operate business as usual.

Maybe they spent more time studying math, not charging 71M /= paying amazon 71M
The article, the summary ... nothing goes into the specifics of this deal.
The town gets 0 if the land is not developed. Also some of these NY towns the way property tax works is based on the development, that means if the warehouse cost Amazon 20 million to build, they would pay a property tax on 20 million. It doesn't matter if they chose to put in gold plated doors that cost $100k each instead of standard doors, the tax is assessed on the money paid out not the actual value of the property (and to be honest many people fight these and can normally win in court) Now there is nothing about how much Amazon IS paying in property tax.

so ... how do you explain the rest of the world?
You mean to tell me every country has an independent and unrelated low birth rate?

What is not mentioned is this:
When MIT students do borrow, their debt at graduation is considerably lower than the national average. Only 18% of the Class of 2021 graduated with debt. They graduated with an average debt of $26,160â"7.9% less than the national average.
People that go to MIT understand math and will not be suckered into the collage loan scam. Cornell is looking for new suckers to the college loan debt scam since it will be pulling for many students without basic math competency. That is the primary value to remove the test sores to get as many suckers, I mean disadvantaged students as possible

There is not much passenger rail service except for North/South (DC to NYC and that is very profitable) America is big, to get from DC to Pittsburgh is a 10 hour train ride, or a 1 hour flight. To get to Los Angeles from NYC is 3 days train ride. passenger train service really on makes sense as a commuter or luxury travel, that has nothing to do with freight service. If you want to have a sleepless night counting trains there is a campsite on the C&O canal trail and you can count a freight train pulling 50 to 100 cars every 5 min from 8pm until 7 am. That is the kind of traffic the rail service sees.

Or anyplace required by law.

Yes there are a few well known song writers, but it is the singer that sold the song. Having a good singer is what make people want to listen because they make it into reality.
It is the same in any industry. The inventor is only as good as the sales person. Yes some inventors will be successful because their inventions are just that awesome, but many are not even known since they could never sell their product, and others take credit for it (Edison looking at you).
Theoretical sciences are also the same, Einstein was just that awesome but there were thousands of pretty good people at his time that pushed theoretical physics forward.
The song writer sure they are important, as is the person that does the mixing, the teachers that gave the singers voice lessons, the teachers that gave the musicians their abilities. The people that feed them, clothe them, and raise them ... do their parents also get a return on investment?
Peter, Paul and Mary were far more popular in their time and were much more able to sell the songs of Bob Dylan than he ever would have, and most people have no idea their songs were written by him, in fact almost none of the songs were their own work, the music was however. Thus who really should get the largest share? not everyone is equal in making a song a popular reality.

Firefox with the right plugin takes care of it, or you can just get your host file updated search for no place like 127.0.0.1

Because you have google and can see your statement is false, and is taken from revisionist members to "debate" the numbers and start the discussion that it never happened.

The discussion is happening all the time with people trying to asses the numbers but it will never be exact, if you were actually curious you would have already known that and looked up the information.

I read the summary, and the actual article and I can not find the specific court case that this author is claiming makes it worse for the workers: Except to call out that it was a 5-4 decision but no reference to what that was.
They upheld (in 2019) in New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira that gig economy workers are not subject to arbitration clauses.
Two states have moved to classify gig workers as employees (CA and PA) this past year, none of them cited a problem based on some ruling of the supreme court. If anything this is establishing precedent the other way around that state courts are finding gig workers to be employees and therefore would have to be treated as such without major changes even then manditory training and such would end up having to be compensated for.
Does anyone know the ruling the author is referring to?

One word ... tires. They burn through them like crazy.
https://electrek.co/2018/03/08/goodyear-tire-electric-cars-reduce-wear-instant-torque/ Companies are developing new tires (clearly) however, those costs are as of yet to be determined.
Already finding that although electric cars save on maintenance, they end up costing so much more on tires that it can balance out, it is not so clear cut cheaper.
(tires can last 1/3 of the time, so 30k tires are getting replaced at 10k, thus at 30k miles you have spent 2k on tires, regular car spent 2k on oil, and maintenance).

So you know this is fake news when the first human trials are ALREADY started in the USA. This is not the only company ... Moderna, Inc. is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company that is focused on drug discovery and drug development based on messenger RNA. The company creates synthetic mRNA that can be injected into patients to help them create their own therapies.
