1. Stop trying to grab every last scrap of information from your 'user'. Stick with only what you actually need to provide the service. 2. Stop routing all the data through your servers. Keep it on the user's cell phone.
Some francise-oriented work goes on for 14 years. Not a lot.
And they aren't going "well, this first one bombed, but we'll go ahead with the other 6 anyway".
The first one makes a jillion, then they go ahead with #2. And sometimes, if #1 is a really huge hit, they'll go ahead and film #2 & #3 at the same time, particularly to make the movies cheaper and retain the characters at the same age. If #1 bombs, the rest don't ever see the light of day.
The VAST majority of the money received for 99.99% of all movies are received in the first couple of years after the movie is released.
Past that, for movies, music and books, it's a lottery ticket. Every once in awhile, it winds up being popular for longer than that, or it comes back into vogue. Basically a fluke.
Nobody OK's a movie based on the financial returns of a 90 year copyright term. They go ahead if it projects to making a good profit inside a couple of years. After that, it's straightup gravy.
Well, that's really the same as the US then, just a different way to generate press coverage. If you can do it loud enough, long enough, you can reverse/fix that one specific instance.
There is NO chance of actually fixing the problem, namely the H1B program.
You'd still lose, because Disney can easily outspend the plaintiff's, for no real payout [ok, you can get your jobs back for 6 months until we lay you off! + lawyers fee's]. There's no penalty for violating the law.
Two screens? I guess I'm lucky enough that my DVR [as I DVR 99% of what I watch on TV] has a 'jump 30 seconds ahead' button. Hit that 5 or 6 [all too often now, or 7 or 8] times, and commercials are over.
Shaw Cable still sucks shit, because you can 'buy' hardware, but it's just a paperweight unless you have a valid cable subscription [you can't watch stuff you already recorded and it doesn't work on other cable systems, all the software is loaded from Shaw when the thing boots].
No you thief. You didn't pay Sling for the box. You just paid for a license to use it.
They deserve to track what you watch, rent your statistics to whomever wants access to them and to sell advertising for you to watch, because clearly you didn't pay nearly enough for an ad-free experience.
He CAN'T really side with the Disney employee's, because he already has been paid to vote for increasing the H1B cap.
He knows the law was sold to the public as not permitting this, but was written to permit it, because that's what the people who paid for the law demanded.
"Oops, the law we passed lets companies screw their workers. there's nothing we can do about it. sorry."
No. The 'rule of law' has only been 'brought back' IF the UK and the other governments actually stop doing it or a bunch of people start going to jail for violating the law.
Sure. Blindly trust in diplomacy. Appeasement has successfully worked in the past, and there is every indication that Iran will be another success for it.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, every year there are close to 140,000 jobs requiring a CS degree, but only 40,000 U.S. college graduates major in CS, which means that 100,000 positions go unfilled by domestic talent."
Of course, there are not 140,000 new jobs. There are a whole bunch of layoff's, office closures that puts a bunch of programmers out of work [like, say, Microsoft did not too long ago].
There are a whole bunch of already-graduated programmers that are explicitly rejected from these 'new jobs' because they can't afford to work cheap enough.

You are an unconvicted criminal living in the community.
Thank god google images has a penis filter.
My understanding is that the best you can do is to find and cut off the antennae that OnStar uses.

Are you kidding? Most of that 10 billion will go to corporations, and the profit from that will be WAY more than any tax cut.
Of course, they'll probably double-down and do both as a "compromise".

Pics or it didn't happen!
They were there to keep spirits up back at the hotel?

So there.

So, you want him to move into your home, where you'll be happy to bang him, but refuse to marry him...
just walk around, choose one you like, and stuff them into your boot.
Guys are too stupid to be able to separate things in this way.
Women, of course, have no problem doing this.
New jobs for US IT workers as greeters for Walmart. "Yes, what you are looking for is in Aisle 32."
This amounts to "we'll give you a bunch of money if you stick to just killing a bunch of people using conventional weapons".
And way to extrapolate my argument for one specific situation to every situation everywhere.
Finally, just over 50% of all email is now valuable marketing information, because you have a business relationship with the sender!
No. The 'rule of law' has only been 'brought back' IF the UK and the other governments actually stop doing it or a bunch of people start going to jail for violating the law.
Neither appears imminent.

H1B's to the rescue!
As well, how many people have they actually prosecuted and convicted for this offense? Is it even 10 people a year for the UK?
