Certainly Spotify has less staff per a station, but someone needs to keep the equipment running, ans I suspect more than one person is involved in programming their literally infinite stations, trying to keep the radio features, and the new music discovery better than that of Pandora, Google, and Beats. The app needs to be maintained and kept better than the others too. I could be wrong though, Wikipaedia says 1500 employees.
They are not one radio station, but infinite radio stations, and they need to negotiate for their music, in multiple jurisdictions.
The real problem they will have though, is that unlike radio, the [Spotify] stations are good enough that they replace owning a collection. Streaming services aren't a substitute for radio, they're a substitute for a music collection, and it's a business model that's having trouble taking off. Early systems were too restricted (both by technology of the time, and contracts) with too limited a selection, then came services that really work, but they provided it all for essentially free (less ads than real life radio). The internet streaming can't extract enough money to keep the labels happy, while simultaneously cutting into their sales. I don't know what the solution is, because people are going to be hard pressed to buy a track at a time when they had access to almost everything.
Nobody will pay Spotify to play this or that single, because Spotify won't generate sales for them.
I know I'm done buying CDs and tracks (I do pay for Google's service though), if they kill streaming, I'll be a pirate.
I'm not sure of you've used Spotify or not. I'm guessing not.,because Spotify is aot more than just servers. They most definitely need staff.,far more than a radio station. It's custom software.,it's not a bunch of tracks in a sub sonic storage.,it's more than that.
And playlists. My friend was using YouTube playlists when she hosted parties before Spotify was a thing.
I think if Spotify wants to succeed they need to find a way to entice more subscriptions, which unfortunately means lamer service.
Maybe an ad free version that works like the free one without ads (still not mobile playlists or caching ). I don't know.,I paid for the full service until it looked like they'd never support Chromecast and moved to Google play. After some time using it, I find google play better at recommending too now.,so I win. Better recommendations (in I feel lucky radio, the brows able ones suck), better interface (I think Spotify has a library style feature now too though),a nd side load what's missing.
I watch student teacher ratios dramatically fluctuate with funding and the number of students there are.
I'm sorry you live in such a shitty area that the schools don't have as many teachers as they can ( well.,a sane target class size that they can only ever get with small years and good funding)
They'll probably act like drivers at 1:30am January 1st. I was designated driver for a New Year's Eve party once, and it was one of the most pleasant driving experiences of my life. EVERYBODY obeyed all laws, and drove cautiously.
I've been driving 17 years and have had two fender benders, one was my fault (within my first 100 hours of driving, I got a lot more cautious after that), the other was rear ended on an entrance ramp that often backs up, and the person behind me wasn't paying attention (I was at a dead stop in traffic and they hit me).
I'm not saying I'm a stellar driver, but I think I'm average, if these cars are driving a lot, the numbers seem reasonable (I drive 15-20 thousand miles a year, I've had one not my fault accident in 17 years, and one that was mine).
What we don't know is the criteria for switching to Human control, the two autonomous accidents may have been easily avoidable, and all non-easy driving may have been under human control. Lack of data makes speculation almost useless.
Without a link to see what you mean, it sounds to me like English may be your second language and you misunderstood the intent of a statement.
If the statement was along the lines of (and this is how I parse what you imply was said) "Extremists include veterans, Christians, Survivalists, etc. etc.", it would assume they are saying that it could be anybody, and don't just think, oh that guy's not an extremist, he's just a Christian.
When more people stop cancelling service, I expect rates to go up. They're going to target $100/house average I suspect.
Your rates are similar to here, if I had phone it'd be around $60, and getting cable would be another $60, though I think there's a $30 cable package now with a few channels and the ability to add premium ones. almost al la cart.
Except I think I read about hidden compartment builders being targetted legally, which would mean they have fifth amendment protection, and don't need to say anything.
I suspect Internet will become more expensive. Currently they're trying to tack on Internet to cable, extra money from existing customers. Soon it will be reverse.
My Internet is $40/month, it was supposed to go up in February, but they didn't increase it after my intro rate. Adding cable would have be at almost $100, I expect in a year that the prices will be reversed ($60 Internet, $40 cable)

I actually find the psudo sudafefvery effective, but also makes me feel funny.

I did, has it still happened?
No, I've cancelled subscriptions through them and it wasn't an issue that needed me too.
Did I just take a time machine back to 2000?
The window has more space than the center too, maybe less leg, there's only risk of encroachment from one side.

The percentage of movies available vs total amount of movies I'm vaguely aware of is far lower than using music and Spotify.
Even Pandora has relatively way more music than Netflix has movies / tv
I'm pretty sure PayPal has a manage subscriptions tab that lets you kill any subscription you want.
And playlists. My friend was using YouTube playlists when she hosted parties before Spotify was a thing.

I always thought the model for the value of a company was 1x revenue or 10x net, with consideration for where it was expected to be in the future.
If I'm right (I may not be) , it's over valued, though I may be under estimating growth potential.

If I need full focus while it drives myself (or even half the focus of when I'm driving), I better get paid as much as a pilot.
If it isn't fully autonomous, with a long and obvious ramp-up to my control (for example pulling over to the shoulder), the tech is worthless.

Didn't it come out recently that they did have WMDs.,and the reports were burried because they were made in America.?
Not that I would consideassderyconsiderid similar in any way.
Can a system hibernate without swap?
I'd like to see a desktop mode for swap, that only uses it for hibernate, and when crashing is the other option.

We'd need some form of extreme socialism to do that (support such an old population).
And it is probably why pirated software are the main attack vector. Can't be scanned
Probably because the customers don't want keygens to flag unless there's an actual Trojan?
Modern? the stock market is far less gambling than it was in the 1600's.
