Why would anyone pay 30-35/month to youtube aka The Google for those channels when Sling TV gives you all those for 20/month? And has been doing so for over a year? And threw in a ton of promotions almost constantly for cheap or free Roku streaming devices?

They do, when they feed them and let them grow feral in their backyards.

But then that just means you're being overcharged for Internet.

Seems like more in the realm of a want than a need if someone continues to live rurally and doesn't have a high speed service offering available.

You're comparing the population of the San Fran MSA to the 2005 population of NYC proper. Complete apple vs orange scenario. The NYC MSA is around 19 million.

Wow, your life must be pretty disappointing for you if it's important to take potshots at a kid who got arrested for no good reason.

I was with you until you said private streets. Fuck private streets. The public sphere is essential for a healthy society. We need public spaces, and we've generally stopped building so much of it since the civil rights era and peeps started getting uppity. The plague of culs de sac is bad enough. Private streets unless maybe one human person owns the entire surrounding land are bullshit.

voting should be at least a weeklong window. And Electoon Day itself should be a paid national/bank holiday. It should be more sacrosanct than Christmas Day; working on Election Day should be quadruple pay, to discourage employers from opening their doors.

I think part of hulu's problem is that the transition to commercials are harsh, not in relation to transitions in the story, way too repetitive, and you're immediately frustrated (at least on desktop) when all the controls suddenly freeze/gray out during the ad. At least spottily lets you pick your battles with a prescribed number of skips per hour. All these things seem fixable. Have seemed fixable for ages. Yet they're not fixed. Their model is to practically insult you with a very similar experience with Hulu+. It doesn't matter if there's more content if you're still put off by the UI and ad experience. I would have thought hulu'd wise up by now, but the fact that they never did tells you they're in this business for another reason. More of a denial strategy, or negotiating leverage when competitors come to universal for streaming content contracts.

David Gerrold, is that you?

Ah, yes, the New Yorker - when i need someone to cut through the latest scientific controversies, there is no finer swordsman.

They allow you to transfer lots of credits, to write essays to demonstrate life learning, and offer tons of independent study courses to top off any remaining gaps. The essays are pure gold though.

Just think of all the fold points it must have.

But this general domain in the realm of contemporary giant data sets is the basic science research of our times. To say that 'data scientist' roles are dead in the near future based on a ROI analysis is to suggest that all these huge data sets aren't likely to pay off for a corp in the near future. And that doesn't sound right at all.
