That's pretty much in a nut-shell. The superhero movies are so popular and prevalent right now because they essentially are marketed for everyone. They try to make it appeal to the largest audience as possible, and it seems to be working, at least for the time being. Which also explains why there are so many of them: they're profitable and network execs are becoming increasingly risk-averse. Why take a chance on some new, fresh idea when we can just make more sequels, tie-ins or remakes of established IP?

Having read the books, being dropped by Syfy and picked up by Amazon was probably the best thing that could have happened to the show. They'll have less restrictions placed on them (language mostly, but also pacing and episode length) and possibly a bigger budget, plus they'll be in 4K.

Season 3 of The Man in the High Castle really kicks things up a notch too...

Altered Carbon was incredible and completely unexpected.
Counterpart on Amazon Video was also great, and the second season just started.

It's one of my all-time favorite shows, and it's incredible how it evolved over the years. A lot of shows tend to lose steam or go off the deep-end the longer they're on, but Person of Interest is one of those shows that only gets better.

I would assume it is stored in both places. I didn't see any language suggesting that the data needs to only be stored inside the country. Seems logical that a transaction crossing borders would be logged on both ends.

Not necessarily, especially if they were going around and stealing packages from multiple houses like some of the thieves in the video were doing, He purposely put a fake label with fake names and addresses on it, so the thief might not remember which house he stole that particular package from.

I used to hate Comcast with a passion after I had used them many years ago, but when I moved into my house about a year ago, Comcast was my only option. However, I was able to get a gigabit connection for $90/mo which was cheaper and faster than the 75mbps Verizon Fios connection I had prior. I can't really complain about that.

That's not a very good example, because all of the streaming services aren't really competing in the same sense. There is very little overlap of content between Netflix, Hulu, etc and each service has their own exclusive content which they view as "premium content", so they charge premium prices for it. If these streaming services were all forced to license their original content to the other services for a reasonable fee, then we could see real competition.

This new game store will be closer to real competition, since there is nothing stopping the developers from publishing their content on both platforms to maximize their audience. This competition likely will improve things for consumers.

My guess is that they wanted to test the equipment to gauge NATO's ability to deal with the disruption. No point in using jamming equipment if it's not going to be effective (i.e. if they already have redundant systems to prevent this kind of jamming), and you'd want to go back to the drawing board and come up with something more effective.

It makes perfect sense that Russia would run their own exercise to test their jamming equipment and gauge NATO's ability to deal with it.

To some extent, that is true, but the reviews mean that a lot of seller in fact do care a great deal about product quality, and making you happy. If they get bad reviews on Amazon, they're not going to sell very much. Unless it's some sort of really niche product, people will tend to buy a similar product that has better reviews.

My wife reviews almost everything she buys on Amazon, and as a result she gets contacted by various sellers who offer to reimburse her for the cost of their products if she writes a review (and it doesn't have to be a good review to get the reimbursement). She once wrote a bad review of a product that she bought herself and the seller contacted her and offered to refund her if she removed the bad review, but she declined.

But when they ask him silly questions like "How do you make money if you don't charge users for your service?", I can understand why he wouldn't want to waste his time flying around the world...

I imagine cat hair clogging up the air intakes on the servers would become an issue...

So what are visually impaired people that rely on screen readers supposed to do?
