  1. Re:Monopoly won't help you now on Largest US Radio Company iHeartMedia Files For Bankruptcy (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Entertainment is not like making cars.

    -You wants cars of the same model/year to be identical.

    -If have 100s of stations that play the same EXACT songs you get ClearChannel / iHeartRadio. About 75% of the stations should go.

    And running the SAME advertisements within an hour makes that ad extra annoying.

    If you change your main WIFI name at home, after a while your GPS mysteriously turns on to report where the new WIFI network is located geographically. Then after a while it stops.

  14. Re:FMEA on Ask Slashdot: What Would Happen If a Hyperloop Train Failed? · · Score: 1

    I saw a YouTube video of a simulation of a few of those failures.

    When a failure of the tube happens, the air rushing in pushes the "train" inside.
    The hyperloop system is designed to have multiple "Trains" in the tube at the same time. So the "trains" closest to the rupture will be pushed towards the next closest "trains" and hits them. But this is just the beginning of the chain reaction.

    *THIS* is all I cared for.

    And if Disney had any brains, they would let Netflix carry their stuff in the countries that the Disney Streaming service doesn't service yet or never will. People will see want they want regardless of how many cottages the Disney board wants to buy.

    Disney should have just turned their stuff into an option to a Netflix subscription.

    While I agree that burning fermented dino and fish carcasses is not a good idea, many people will still want or need such a motor.
