  1. That should be "when Disney launches their streaming service." Stupid voice dictation.

  2. And as a follow up, neither Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or any other service is going to lower their prices when Disney watch as they are streaming service. In fact, most will probably raise their prices within the next couple years.

  3. Bullshit. There are multiple video streaming services and despite this all of them have raised their prices on multiple occasions. Both Netflix and Hulu, as examples, are more expensive now than when there were fewer options.

    What a silly statement. The Amazon of 2004 is nothing like the Amazon of today.

    Amazon of today has makes around $170 billion in revenue and has over 600,000 employees. Back in 2004 it made less than $7 billion and had less than 10,000 employees.

  7. And even in 2020 most people are still unlikely to have much 5G coverage to soeak of.

  8. Sundar Pichai has set Google on a very dark, and very evil path in the pursuit of profit, something all the previous execs like Schmidt for all their mistakes never did.

    This is just an elaborately subtle troll, right? You can't really be that dumb can you? Schmidt didn't pursue profit? How fucking stupid are you? It's so quaint how so many people like yourself fell for that "Do no evil" thinking that Google was different than other corporations when they never were. Schmidt aggressively pursued profits and if you remember, Google used to run a censored search enginer in thr PRC from 2006 to 2010... under Schmidt's reign as CEO.

    And yet people in plenty other industries can provide estimates even when unforseen things pop up. That's why it's an estimate not a set in stone price.

    Then you didn't actually read the whole post.

    The contract is up at the end of the year, and she wants to find a new consultant. The company owner however, doesn't want to switch because all of the work the consultant provided is covered under a "warranty" for 3 years

    Unless the wife has split personalities, it's quite clear she is not the owner.

    Just to add when Disney made Snow White in the 30s it had over 750 animators working on it.

    So from where did you get this nonsense that Disney was making full-length movies with anywhere near 8 people?

    A surprisingly large company can have 8 full time staff

    Name even a single example.

    Disney hasn't had anywhere near 8 employees in numerous decades. What a stupid statement.

    So, I believe you either need to change who is making the decision (delegation), change how they are making the decision (evaluation),

    The decision maker is the owner according to the post, so.... good luck with that.

    Linux has nothing to do with why no one will stand in line to buy the next version of Windows, or even why they won't pay lots of money for it.

  23. Couldn't care less what Apple's motivation is but warning banners are less than useless.
