"Netflix built a great service, but increasing Netflix's dominance this way would mean the end of the Golden Age of streaming for content creators and consumers," Lee wrote in a post on X.
The golden age was arguably when Netflix had the streaming monopoly and everyone licensed their stuff to them, which ended long, long ago.

They weren't just wrong about consumption/demand. I've said before that the peak oil wikipedia article has been one of the more amusing ones to follow for a while:

Then Amex is a poor choice, since it's already not accepted anywhere near as many places as Visa/MC or even Discover.
Amex is likely to be the primary card choice for me if merely checking for its logo is still all I have do, but the VISA/MC logos suddenly lose this important, decades-old trait.

Or with AI I guess your data is the product, and anything you might incidentally accomplish (learning, working, playing, earning, etc.) is a waste product, to be minimized accordingly.

Do you think you were a victim of fraud? Or did you understand what was going on?
Half the time when you come across a picture of a room with digital furniture, the very next one is the unaltered, empty-room picture. So if this tech is intended to deceive, most realtors haven't gotten the memo.
Far worse are the fake external shots where the house is surrounded by an acre of grass or woods, when in reality it's packed like sardines with the other houses.

Vietnam's government said this week that 60 countries were registered for the official signing, without disclosing which ones. But the list will probably not be limited to Russia, China, and their allies.

You don't give a damn about "UX" to the extent it means user experience. You should be asking extension writers what they need from you to improve their work and truly improve Firefox users' experiences. That goes 10x for ad-block writers.
But it's easier to get TIME to jerk you off and Google to dump money on you with forgettable chintz like this.

I remember the article where I first noticed the chart:

ACT Test Scores For US Students Drop To a 30-Year Low
Scores have been falling for six consecutive years, but the trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
That pegs the beginning of the decline to 2017 (probably in the spring), before most of his first four years.
