The proposal calls for a yearly 2% rate on asset values, not on transaction gains. This means that they would pay taxes on "unrealized gains", which is extremely stupid. If they wanted to do something really actionable, they would work on global cooperation to close the actual loopholes. This a a pipe dream proposal that will amount to nothing being done.

AFAIK the limitations on the bundled Prime Music were: 1) Only one device could stream at a given time 2) Smaller catalog without the "latest and greatest", which, let's be honest, should probably be considered a premium feature. I guess this was more than enough for a lot of people, thus Prime Music Unlimited was not that enticing. Now that the interest rates are going up you need to pad that bottom line somehow...

Brazilian here. Yeah, Bolsonaro is a disgrace of a president, but let's read beyond the partisan reporting. Illegal logging, mining and deforestation has been going on since forever. A previous governor member of the party of the soon to be elected ex-convict ex-criminal Lula even got to the point of selling fake logging licenses to illegal loggers. Indians set up illegal tolls on roads that crosses the reserves, and also illegally charge for farmers and miners for "land usage rights", which of course they are not allowed to do. The Indian chiefs drive top of the line pick up trucks.

What could possibly go wrong? Surely nobody uses their Netflix accounts while on the go! This change of policy will be completely accepted by the customers! By the way, how Qwikster is dois nowadays?

Has anyone actually tried to access www.duck.com? Come on, try, i'll wait...

youtube-dl FTW. Hint: it handles more than youtube, and has one cajillion command line options to suit you necessities.

I have been using RSS since 2005 it is is still provides 99,9% of all the online content I read. I am using Inoreader which is amazing. All other media delivery options are sub-optimal. I was impressed when I discovered that people use Facebook to get their news. They *deserve* to get fake news

Brazilian here. This is what they tried to trademark (The last sound in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

In Brazil, This is known as the "plim-plim". They have been using the sound for many (30+) years. I don't see how this can be compared to the sound of a ringing phone.

Brazilian here. This country is a dump.

3-5x the initial estimate. If the team is good.

USD 280 + USD 15 a pop per app, per device + extremely curated user experience - no thanks. It seems that Hauppage has a similar offer. Don't know how it compares to the Slingbox, though.

Please let me know when they start making a web browser that whan updating does not disable half of the user extensions without warning.

. The interface is a mess. It is counter intuitive. I can't believe there aren't better options around.
