  1. Pay per view, Advertising on Slashdot Asks: What's Next For Netflix? (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    They need to find more revenue to pay for their original (and non-original) content. I foresee subsciption levels. Basic (cheap) for all your 10+ year-old movies and syndicated tv, so go ahead and binge on Star Trek and Simpsons. Regular, for their current geo-fenced content. Premium to unlock geo-fencing and perhaps some GoT. Perhaps a discount for all your packages if you select advertising. As more eyeballs opt for cheaper advertiser-subsidized content Netflix can squeeze more from the advertisers.

  2. Re: Mall shooting in Germany on Microsoft Can't Shield User Data From Government, Says Government (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a lie, you're parroting propaganda that is not rooted in fact. Most likely, you were referencing back when the CDC was punished for lobbying congress with a political agenda promoting gun control What is the difference between lobbying and telling Congress facts? If the DoT told Congress that seatbelts saved lives would the DoT be accused of lobbying for the pinko communist seatbelt manufacturers? More plausibly the conclusion, more guns=more death, is blatantly obvious but the NRA doesn't want the weight of science behind it.

  3. It will happen when the upper middle class is auto on The Case Against a Universal Basic Income (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    UBI was never discussed when the cotton ginny was invented. Never mentioned when the steam engine was invented. Nowhere to be found when the tractor was invented. Not on the radar when the word processor became common. But when the upper middle class jobs (doctors, lawyers) are set to be automated with AI there's all kinds of interest. That's how this time is different. Previous rounds of mechanisation and automation replaced low skilled, repetative, physical labour. AI is set to replace mostly cognitive occupations that only the upper middle class could access.
