Other than Captian marvel and endgame(I waited for infinity war at home) I have been to less than 1 movie a year for the last ten years in theaters
The only reason I am not waiting for those 2 is I don't want to deal with spoilers for 4 months waiting for the streaming rentals to be released.
What gets me is that producers are blocking streaming rights for various sites. Amazon doesn't have a star is born, or Aquaman yet. But other places do.
With diseny + the situation is going to get worse. As companies are created subscription services after binge watching became a thing. So you will sign up binge watch a month and disconnect. They won't get the revune they are used to or forcasting
Never assign to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Most people do not realize the amount of data that is recorded about them. I learned the lesson hard in 1997when my college teacher compared emails between students to prove cheating.
It was then that I realized that my data was out there and freely shared unencrypted
I was about to sign up for a Facebook account in 2007 when I saw reports of people who "deleted" their account and when they reactivated it 2 years later had all the information still there.
Every thing online is there for all time. Get used to that fact.
That's called cable, and it fails as your provider makes choices and contract bundling to save money, thus limiting your choices.
However if you want to do that get subcriptions through Amazon. I pay Amazon for my HBO now subcription, and thus don't only have one place for my card.
Two problems with universal basic income. The money has to come from some where, and the goods have to come from somewhere.
Ubi is economically impossible until we improve and fully automate manufacturing. That will finally lower the cost of manufacturing that Ubi becomes practical. We have 50 years from,3d printing will take that long for enough market saturation for product manfactuting.
Just look at the automotive industry. Robots are slowly replacing more and more workers. Once we have completely automated car manufacturing can we talk about UBI. Until then we have to make it work other ways.
I do not minimum wage as the lowest paid employees get acrewed. What is needed is to bring executive compensation down to merely 500 times minimum wage from the 5-10,000 it currently is.
In the east coast USA. Twith out dst the sun will set at 6pm by labor day.
That leave 6 weeks were high School sports are played in total dark.
Heck just driving halfway across one time zone can have amajor effect on outdoor activities. Near Boston the longest day of the year is done by 9 pm,. Without daylight savings time it is done by 8 pm.
Yet on the other side of the same time zone it is 10:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Respectfully.
Yes the time zones are bigger than an hour difference. Only basement dwelling idiots haven't observed that fact.
Try spending time outside morning and evening and you too will be pro DST.
The official Leave campaign was stupid, and believed the EU would cave 100% and give the UK everything including a fake membership in the EU but still let the UK leave.
That is like a divorce attorny saying you get to keep the house, the kids, the cars, the vacation homes, and 100% of his income for all eternity and he has only random visitation rights.
Life doesn't work that way.
The whole leave Campaign was stupid Britian is going to be a shell of it's former self inside of 30 years. I say britian, as Scotland and Northern Ireland are gone within 20 years.
Both of them know where the future lies and it isn't with backward thinking close minded idiots that voted to leave the EU.
Notice how everyone wants their own crypto. The jp Morgan coin the Facebook coin etc. They all want total control of the entire block chain so that the can run 51% attacks and roll back transactions. They also get the issue ipo coins for the Most wealth too.
No one wants to use an existing chain but everyone wants their own gift card currency they can manipulate.
And that is what will kill crypto. Incompatible coins that need constant conversions to from dollars to be useful.
Like instant messaging incompatibility will make life miserable and medicore
I just want them to pay their share. If they have 90% of the income then they should pay 90% of the taxes.
If we each pay 10% of income in taxes and my income is $100 I pay $10. If your income is $100,00 then you should pay $10,000. Currently you are only paying $1,000 and complaining you pay $990 more than me.
Amazon is paying zero coropate taxes this year because idiots like you keep making excuses about how high corporate tax rates are.
You say that and it could be true but it still isn't actionable, or you choose not to take action.
You would think that if users quickly hit the skip now button on ads for your app that you would show less ads not make the skip now button longer than the ad.
Same goes for large whitespace and tiny moving X's for ads too.
You are taking the wrong Info from your app feedback.
Not reply Thom is a hypocrite. Never practices what he preaches. He would rail agsinist apple and iOS, or macos , and then mention how he loves his iPhone.
Got into an argument that 10 years ago with Thom and stopped reading. Came back every once in a while to see 10 day old reports of arstechinca articles. And 1-3 comments.
The bigger issue is it is Thom baby and he can't write, review or articulate.
small businesses spend a lot of time and money protecting and dealing with cash. and incurr significant losses due to employees.
larger chains have enough people to employee to be able to handle for it, and if cash goes missing to fire the offending party.
The whole article reminds of 20 years ago when I was working night shift at mcdonalds. My cash drawer was always accurate except for one night when it was mysteriously $40 short. before the manager even mentioned it to me, they mentioned it to the other employee and how strange it was. in 5 minutes the money was "found" and within a week the other employee wasn't employed anymore. It is easy to make cash disappear.
In one small store i worked the cash drawer was usually pretty close, but every couple of days would drift up. the extra was put into a "tip" jar in the office and was used to help keep the drawer balanced. About once every 4-6 weeks we emptied the tip jar and bought lunch for every one. That would be money we didn't give customers in proper change.
Cash sucks for everyone. businesses, people, employers, employees. yes I can see the value of preventing it from being banned or shunned, but like cashier less checkout lines, times are changing.
Low wage jobs are dead end jobs without future. No pay raises, no bonuses, most if the pay health care don't pay enough to cover the high deductibles and high copays of the coverage provided.
Low wage jobs are a dead end and everyone knows it. Who wants to be stuck in a dead end job never earning more money?
It is why the trades are suffering so. Everyone needs HVAC or plumber. However those jobs are basically mean food stamps for life unless you are the owner.

Google had bypasses for 2fa for companies.
I have 2fa setup and recently aithoriZed a third party to access my Google photo albums.
Did this on purpose so I can dymaically update my digital photo frames. However that company now has a unique password only.
Facebook also can get such access until you revoke it in Google.

Yes it is fragile it also won't disappear. People will remember the good old days

The best part of crypto coins is anyone can have one.
Me I am only putting my money is the slashcoin. Where you gain value by posting + comments and lose value with - comments.
As the moderation needs block chain.
To date every single coin has fallen by the way side. Their ideas and reasons for existing as stupid as the number soft people paying for them.
Investment? Nope not unless you can deal Keith gold Rush. But long term all of them trend downward unless you get a big enough Spike to prop them up.
I get spam calls on my cell phone daily.
I know they are spam as they start with my phone's area code - and three digit exchange.
I don't live in that area or do business there. So it is automatically spam.
The best I got was when my spam spoofing caller used my number to call me.
We are 20 years from having engine nosie low enough for it to be practical.
Decades before flying taxis we will have point to point helicopters lowering the costs drastically.
Flying cars are 20 years after that point.

Sounds like a typical base!ment dweller.
Some of us enjoy the evening hours after work.

That isn't hard. Use a Roku, Apple TV, or firetv as your source inout and the tb itself doesn't have to connect.
I use Roku. While Roku wants a credit card I used one that was expiring, and haven't updated it.
If I want new subscriptions I subscribe either directly or through Amazon.
Directly has the benefit of cancelling easier
I am actually getting to the point of setting up a dns whitelist for ads. Block every viral ad at the router for all my guests.
Think of the bandwidth savings.
I just want them to pay their share. If they have 90% of the income then they should pay 90% of the taxes.
If we each pay 10% of income in taxes and my income is $100 I pay $10. If your income is $100,00 then you should pay $10,000. Currently you are only paying $1,000 and complaining you pay $990 more than me.

Actually hpv can come from any fluid transfer. Not just sexual.
Kissing the wrong person can be enough
What about mobs weaponizing the like button to generate fake data?
Notice how Facebook and you tube never talk about fake impressions when it appears positive?
You say that and it could be true but it still isn't actionable, or you choose not to take action.
You would think that if users quickly hit the skip now button on ads for your app that you would show less ads not make the skip now button longer than the ad.
Same goes for large whitespace and tiny moving X's for ads too.
You are taking the wrong Info from your app feedback.
Except that at the rate foxcon pays workers 12,000 of the employees would be on food stamps and other public subsidies to make ends meet.
Right because cable TV is totally free by using advertisers to pay for the shows.
Using advertisers just mean you get paid twice. And the people who watch the ahows have to pay twice. (Time and Mone y)
You can test it but only with a Hardline network cable. My samsung would connect to WiFi even after I turned off the wifi in settings.
I only found out once I switched to a commercial wifi AP system and noticed the random log connections.
I then blocked it's Mac address.

Sad to see it go but it is time.
Why just one?? Saving labor. Saving labor, saving chemical costs, saving feed for animals, and still maintaining a viable yield is the goal.
It is also a lot harder, and varies by location which is why commercial standardized farming companies don't like it.
actually it is just the opposite.
