Disney To Acquire Remaining Stake In Hulu For Expected $8.6 Billion (cnn.com) 31
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNN: Disney will acquire Comcast's one-third stake in Hulu for an expected $8.61 billion, the company said Wednesday, in a deal that will put the streaming service entirely inside the Magic Kingdom when the transaction closes later this year. "The acquisition of Comcast's stake in Hulu at fair market value will further Disney's streaming objectives," the company said in a short statement. Wednesday's deal brings to an end long-running speculation about the fate of Hulu, but still requires an appraisal process that is expected to be completed in 2024 to further assess the streaming service's fair value before a final sale price tag is agreed upon.

Here in MA 1/1000 people have died already due to COVID-19. I imagine a lot of elderly don't have to look very far at all.
That can't be right. Massachusetts has ~7 million residents. There have been ~7,500 deaths. That's 0.1% of the population.

Read the article, they were free and trying to monetize the collected bookmark data. A number of responses to the blog post suggest willingness to pay... but they never approached the users before deciding to close up shop. A shame.
