They're opening the door to competitors who just do the "old Netflix" if they keep it up with their current "let's make original content" kick.
They're doing their own original content because licensing costs are going WAY up from when they first started. A competitor can't do what Netflix did at the prices Netflix charged anymore, because the content owners are asking for more money now.
They originally added streaming for free (or at least no extra cost) for disc subscribers. You were just limited in how many hours you could use it. It wasn't available to non-DVD subscribers initially. And then they removed the hours restriction to make it unlimited for no extra cost. They weren't available as separate subscriptions until after all that.
The justification for the rate increase is paying for the rights to stream content. Yet there's less content than ever to stream
The only thing surprising about that is that the rights-holders let it go for so little the first time around. It will lose its value over several years until it's almost as much as cable. DVD/Blu-Ray rental should rightfully make a comeback now for the more obscure content or the more expensive content. However, Netflix sold off a huge amount of their back catalog.
Also, Doctor Who went to Amazon. Netflix just lost the bidding war.
They should take that $2 price increase and apply a $2 discount to their shrinking DVD subscription library. There's less content, so I should pay less.
If they just made the privacy settings more prominent when creating a post, it will be easier to designate a post's visibility to different groups (and creating those groups).
They tried so hard to hide privacy settings, and this is the result.
And to add to that, "sex offender" could easily mean someone who urinated on the side of the highway. Calling out the name of the conviction category doesn't say whether or not they should get through a background check.
Way to miss the point. The "murderer" was called out in the article without context on their conviction. It could just as easily have been manslaughter where there was no intent, or self defense that wasn't ruled as such.
The job still belongs to the background check to clear them, but letting a "murderer" through is not a failure in and of itself without context.
Even someone who commits murder is not necessarily an unsafe driver. I think it's unnecessary to call out the charges without also giving the details of the crime.
Not that murder isn't bad, but I wouldn't fear for my life if my driver was convicted of murder when it was due to an abusive relationship that they couldn't get out of, for example. Generally only serial killers tend to murder complete strangers that they have no history with.
"Should of" is just people who don't know how "should've" is spelled. Illiteracy is not the same thing as a dialect. The spoken word is technically the same in that case.
If someone says "all intensive purposes" you're just as likely to mishear it as the phrase that makes sense (as opposed to seeing it in writing).
Forget whether it's grammatically correct. It's not literately correct. What's an intensive purpose? And if you only include the intensive ones, that's a different meaning.
A contraction is vernacular, but not wrong. "Should of" is a misspelling of should've without being literate enough to know better.
Slashdot Mirror
DaVinci Resolve installs Quicktime as part of the installer. Its main purpose is not an NLE, but it's a pretty major piece of software.
It's only been recently that Quicktime wasn't installed by default with Adobe Premiere Pro.
And what about ProRes?
QuickTime does power a lot of professional video workload
Yeah, and they want to power that on the Mac. What do they gain if other video editing software is built on their backs and they don't get a dime?
Don't you know how to Google? It's the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt. I don't know what this has to do with metrology, though.
pedantically referred to as gnu/Linux
FTFY. Typically, it's referred to as Linux.
There's also the case of images being on a different subdomain or CDN (all run by you)
I'm talking about full external links. One/ is not enough. Example - use //Google.com/file instead of http://google.com/file or https://google.com/file
You can do a full URL without specifying protocol. Instead of http:/// or https:/// you can just use //
What DVDs? I still have a disc subscription and now most of them are either Very Long Wait or no longer available.
If your TV wasn't from 1990, you wouldn't need to rent a cable box.
What...your TV has a CableCARD slot and your cable company hasn't moved to switched video?

They could have raised it by less at a time, over 2 years. But instead you get the lower price for those whole 2 years.

Please stop labeling or inserting political bias into any discussion. A discussion should NOT BE pulled to involve politic.
This is what's really wrong with Facebook.

And then they were punished properly through the legal system and are a free person.
Or a wide variety of opportunistic killers such as home invaders, muggers, mass shooters, etc.
Which should be accounted for in the background check.

O'bama? He's not Irish.
No matter what you think of illegal aliens, the kids should be fed. It's not their fault.
Until it's right, it's wrong.
