They aren't messing with anything other than saying if you pirate we'll nuke your internet so you won't be able to use all the internet things you like to use. All of this is likely covered in the TOS.
I do Hartford to Dublin fairly frequently on a 757. If it were another hour longer I'd choose to connect through NY/Boston to get on a bigger plane. 757s are not fun for more than 6-7 hours.
Not really, you aren't going to see small planes take over. There's simply too many people flying intercontinental for it to make sense. More smaller planes just means more congestion at airports. Not that too large like the A380 doesn't cause its own issues, but the 787 is a pretty good happy medium.
The 747 is gone and the A380 will not last very long because a 4 engined aircraft is crazy stupid expensive to operate. The GP7000 is about $15M a pop, but the real issue is in maintenance. The more parts the more to keep running, halve the number of engines and you save tons.
Enough said. Living in New England this is really nothing new. Granted its a few weeks earlier than usual. I just feel bad for the ski areas that can't catch a break going from too warm last year to too cold this year.
Exactly, the original project was between a select group of casinos. It wasn't about moving people around efficiently, It was about moving people from one group of casinos to ones owned by the same people, bypassing the rest. It was about making money for some casinos, not about moving people around.
I don't think the laws are very well suited to deal with this in the harshness needed. This sort of aligns with a bartender knowingly serving someone who kills someone in a dui. No, he wasn't driving, but he certainly set things in motion.
Typically in these cases the family ends up taking them to civil court as well. I don't see the book being thrown at this guy, although the fact he seems to have done this across state lines may give the feds quite a bit more ammo.
Ya, most people don't go to dinner theaters and it is hardly considered a concession. When you start adding that in the movies are no longer just the movies. And you likely don't do that for every movie you go see, or 2-4 times a month like many movie pass people do going to the traditional movie theater.
Or if you do you have enough money to really not care too much about the ticket price either way.
I mean I get that eventually it would be caught up but they are trying to make it sound as if this is some monumental event that has a ton of advantages, while failing to list any. I can't really think of any. It's not like anyone is running a pure 64bit system and kodi is not resource intensive either cpu wise or memory wise. Why should anyone care if its 32 or 64.
Not really, I seldom see people spending $12-15 per person on food. Ticket prices bring in the most cash. And people who go to matinees are cheap bastards.
That's not to say the food is super over priced, but it's not the lions share of revenue.
Ya, pretty certain they lose that battle in court just like AMC would lose if they refused mastercards. There's a reason the mafia isn't an actual company, what they do is illegal.
However, upon further reading it actually appears that the plan they've been pretty forthright on is to sell customer data to everyone under the sun.
How much does the theater get per admission? You can't just flash a card like Dr Who that says let me in. And for AMC you supposedly use it like a credit card which means AMC is charging these people full rate. So go once at ~$15 a ticket and they are under water.
I can make up lots of good deal plans and likely get 1M customers, but that doesn't mean its business viable.
You assume everyone that is mining is using the most efficient hardware, which all those people surfing pornhub and mining in the background for them aren't. Those people are mining in the most inefficient means possible.
The 58 was just used as from experience the typical age that people start to really consider retirement and those that have planned well or gotten lucky can achieve it.
Again, I ask what sort of crap places do you all work for if you are afraid to even discuss retirement. Any place worth its beans will typically give 1 week per year of service pay and health insurance during layoffs. Add to that unemployment and the company is doing you a favor if they lay you off anywhere along the lines of 1-1.5 years prior to when you want to retire. And if they just out right fire you? Well, lawyer up, you've likely won that case.
Christ, half of our groups staff meetings when we have them are BS'd away with people talking retirement plans, including our boss. And he's called into the VP of engineerings office multiple times a year to find out what peoples plans may be. You see, grown up places actually like to have plans for the future.
Retirement is not a taboo subject. At least it shouldn't be unless you happen to work in a crazy toxic work environment. And I work for one of those crazy giant eCopr conglomerates.
The only time I've seen people pop in and say I'm retiring immediately is because they've just found out they have cancer.
Exactly, goes to show how clueless so many on this site are. There is no reason not to discuss it, note discuss, not set a date. HR for each place can likely tell you what a good time for official notice would be.
If you're a year out the best thing to happen would to be put on the layoff list.
Retirement isn't a big secret. You think your bosses don't see that you are getting old? They know that anyone over 58 can go whenever they want depending on how they've planned. They'd much rather be able to plan a replacement assuming you fit a spot that needs filling.
Why would they fire you because you said that you were planning on leaving in the next 1-2 years? That makes no sense.
Alternatively, if they know you want to retire and they know a layoff is coming then that is a win win. They don't have to upset anyone, they get rid of someone who likely has a higher salary, and on top of it you get severance pay, insurance and unemployment.
Contact exams are not the same prescription as eye exam. You'll likely never find a free contact exam. They take longer, you walk out with usually a weeks supply of free samples, and get a follow on appointment.

Seriously, hardware design is so much more complicated than software its not even funny.

Vice will however be using their corporate tax savings to pay off more women they harassed.
2-5 movies a month is $10-50+ dollars out of investors pockets each month. 4+ times revenue! How is that sustainable?

Because the real money is when they start to sell all the data they collect on the open market. At least that's what they're selling the investors.
Personally I think this is a failed endeavor. I can easily see them bleeding 10s of millions a month at current movie prices.

make money. Pigs go to slaughter.
Anyone with any brains has pulled half their money and will let the rest run.
Shame no mod points. So far this is basically the only comment that hasn't been full of paranoia and crazy. There is nothing taboo about retirement.
