For MoviePass to have worked, they would have to had worked out a deal, before going live,
Really? You seriously can't imagine a scenario where theaters or studios are willing to make a deal once they see how much they could potentially benefit?
Your post is a non sequitur, emotional based argument. Notwithstanding, I would point out that it would have been better for the natives if the pilgrims had learned Abenaki.
The business model you mentioned is a valid plan, although the way you presented it is exaggerated. In the retail world they call them "coupons" and it's money for "free"
Unfortunately, there aren't many people today who can recognize a good design, let alone build one themselves. "Good" these days tends to mean "we managed to deploy it." Elegance isn't a thing anymore. (I should say, it's rare. Bitcoin was elegant.)
It seems reasonable, if they can get people (who wouldn't normally go) into a theater to see a less popular movie at a discount, then basically everyone benefits. The "any movie" thing was just a hook to get people in, before scaling back and hoping people will stay. Eventually they WILL be able to reduce service levels to a point where they are profitable, the only question is if there will be enough customers who want to stay at that low level.
Immigrants should learn English. I pretty much favor open immigration, but they should learn the language of the place they want to live. It's rude not to.
Nah.....there are too many people in the public who are happy when their side wins......even if they win by Gerrymandering. Some members of the public are victims, and that's unfortunate.
I used to get upset about Gerrymandering. Obviously it's unethical. Then I realized the real problem isn't gerrymandering, it's the general public who allows it to happen. Basically everyone knows what it is but apparently are ok with it for some reason? I would get upset about the general public for good reasons but there are too many of them. It gets tiring.
Law degrees aren't useless, at least if you pass the bar you can make more than most programmers. In any case, how do you distinguish between a useful degree and a useless degree? Where do you draw the line?
Most students don't get a gender studies degree. In fact, the vast majority of students don't get a gender studies degree. That's like a rounding error.

The actual problem is we have no clue how to calculate that.
Then by your analysis, they won't be able to find a balance that makes it work.
That's not the case for phones. People at least want to make phone calls with them.
tbh a lot of people wouldn't miss it if their phone stopped making calls.

It's not racist, at worst it's linguist. Anyway I speak Spanish, so your points weren't well thought out. Try again.

Why do you keep using a definition of democracy that is so narrow? If you're going to be pedantic, at least be right about it.

It's news because of the lawsuit. That's all.
Yeah, it basically creates areas of the city not even worth walking through. Those corporate areas are like hell-holes.
Apple keeps quietly incrementally improving products across the board and making devices better and better..
Is that what you call the bar that replaced the escape key? An improvement?

Windows 10 has ads, too. At very least the startmenu is filled with ads from the store.
I was never actually going, sigh, Obama or not.
Would you say they are...... Opportunists?

Well ok, I'd like to see what you consider a stylish microphone, then.
I really doubt that Obama had anything to do with your spacesuit problem.
Yes :)

To be fair, if I'd had points I would have modded you up.
Yeah but I'm trying to be polite here, come on!
