How's about I let the industry know when I need some part of my house to be "smart"?
I remeber when we something similar about cellphones. Not smartphones, cellphones. And yet here they are.
The same will be happening with houses. They will be pushed to us until we, as consumers, finally understand that we must have it. After that we will say how it was our choice and how great it is.
Many tears ago, I bought a DVD player for 400 EUR. It broke within a year. I replaced it with a DVD player for 40 EUR. Even if it would have lasted just for one year, I could have bought 10 and they would still not losing money.
I see the same with clothes. My mother always said "Buy quality, it will last longer." and she is right. But paying 3 times for something that only lasts twice as long is not worth it.
So buying a new electric carving knife often will be cheaper then buying one that lasts forever and a month. And it is not the snubbing, it is the fact that they make money. If people realy did not want it, they would not buy it. They are just delivering what the market is asking for and that is cheaper, not higher quality.
About knives. I know that they make patato knives with a brown handle. The reason is that you will not see them and trow them away with the potato peels.
Not the noise, but there is Torque Pro and several others that will diagnose your car with a OBD 2 dongle that will show whatever the car is able to show. So that should already help.
(I know he is trolling. Nobody can be THAT stoopid.) Mexicans working for a lower pay and take your job? That is how capitalism works. Are you a communist?
I am in Europe. I do not eat in a restaurant that does not have a licence, because reason. I do not fly with a pilot that does not have a commercial licence, because reason. I do not drive a taxi that does not have the apropriate licence.
If I can not afford the price difference, I will take the bus.
The thing is that they don't have to pay that much for the US content.
They make a show and they make a profit in the US. Selling elsewhere only adds extra money into their pockets without any of the cost. Any local costs will be handled in local tarifs that might be much lower.
The same happens with e.g. chicken production, where parts of the chicken make a profit. The rest is sold as scrap to e.g. Africa, which in turn means the African farmers have nothing to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Big movie prodcution capacity in Holywood. Almost nothing elsewhere besides India.
Not sure where you live, but where I live, taxi's have to pay taxes. They have to pay social security. They have to pay for meters. They have to pay for insurance with passengers. Also for extra technical testing of the cars. And also for the taxi stands.
If you cut all that out, it is obvious that itwill be cheaper. Illegal, but cheaper. Just as if I would run a sweatshop. Illegal, but cheaper.
That does not mean there are no problems with the taxi business, but running things illegal is not the solution. If anything it will enhance the problem.
I rember buying the tripple album of Emerson Lake and Palmer. 3 (three) albums. That was unheard of. I remember buying "This is my beloved" from Arthur Prysock where side one and side two had a meaning. I remember buying records for the cover, because if they have enough money to get a decent cover, they can't be rubbish.
Would I want to go back? No. The 4 extra pages mean nothing compared to the tons they can make available, if they wish to. The quality can be emulated. And this for both vynil and CD, where I can now download true quality.
That said, people will always be riding horses. People are still leaning how to shoot bow and arrows. Now there apparently is a 'peak' in the hobby of vynil records. Perhaps people who are able to afford it are at an age where it reminds them of their childhood.
This is the same excuse many people use about eating out in a restaurant or having a drink in a pub. Yes, at home it will be cheaper, but this is often not about just the money. It should be about social contact.
It sounds like this time somebody told me he saved 1EUR because he ran after a bus. I told him he should run after a taxi and save more money.
To me going to the movies with friends does not even begin or end with the movie. First we see each other somewhere, see the movie and have a drink afterwards. Perhaps even dinner. If I look at the amount of money, I get closer to 50 to 70 EUR.
It is the social part that makes me want to do it. I can just as easy download the movie for free if money is the problem.
Well, we have Google (including Gmail, Youtube and the rest) and Facebook. That is two already. What people call computers are basically terminals in the way they are used.

Apple Pay For the UK
·
· Score: 2
Not sure about the UK, but in Belgium what the Credit Card Company collects is: Merchant. This can be a store in city A, while the transaction is done in the headoffice in city B. Transaction number, because the merchant is not allowed to store the credit card number. Time and amount.
In Belgium it is not even allowed to do an analysis of the data to do e.g. a directed offer where you say "I see you buy a lot online"
As the collected data is basically to assure a good transaction and followup on that transaction, I would not know why they would be worried to get less information.
What they most likely are worried about is that Apple takes more information then is allowed and that, if they play along, they are at risk to loose their licence or at least pay a very heft fine.
I do work with these types of companies and they are not happy if partners want to go above and beyond the law when it is about consumers.They will make it very, very clear that they do not agree with the practice, so that when (not if) a lawsuit comes, they can proof they did not had any hand in the practice. Apple has been shown not to care about European (or any other) laws and they do not want to be dragged along.
Remember that Europe is more on the side of the people then on the side of companies. Especially when compared to the USofA.
It is just standard mathematics. If I previously bought 2 books for 10USD each and now buy 2 books for 10USD, there is 10USD less to devide.
I doubt that people will start spending more on books. It is just that a lot more people need to get money from that amount and that the money for the middleman has gone to a much more powerfull middleman.
Although it might be interesting to know what they use, it would not mean that it would be safe for others to use. They only need to be concerned that others can't hack it, and read their messages. I am sure they will be happy to read their own messages.
Life in space is so complicated that a lot of logistics have to be off-loaded to the ground if astronauts are to actually do anything substantive. Just building the schedule for the astronauts in orbit on the U.S. side of the station requires a full-time team of 50 staffers.
I do not think this will be a standard 'Person A starts a shift at 7AM and person stops at 11PM' kind of sceduling. Most likely this will be about what and when and will need 50 people due to the task, not due to it being in space. And this because of the fact that it is not a routine job. It is research and the ISS is just a far away branch. I have worked in companies where scheduling was done away from many places and where a lot of things have been offloaded to places where I did not work. So to me there is nothing special going on. The only reason we are not going to Mars is because we don't want to. We do not want to invest the billions it will need. We don't want to sacrifice the people that will die.
So now we know why they didn't want the movie to be shown.
And isn't is per violation, not per sale. So they must pay for the billions of illegal downloads that get the song as well. They were the ones distributing it.
But in reality what will happen will that either they win (After all it is their law. They bought it fair and square.) or they settle out of court. This will be some minor sum in the 6 figures and the deal never to talk about it. Then it will go to another court where Sony will claim the money back. After a few years the artis will give up or re-settles for an extreme low amount. (5 figures that she will need to pay the lawers AND give up her rights in the process.)
I like it, but I am used to it. For me what is much more important is using a trackball instead of a mouse. The only one however is the Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 as it is the only one (that I know of) that uses the thumb for the ball and that you can still buy.
Fear of real punishment is great if you also do other things. e.g. in Belgium the first time you get a very seriosu fine (and removal of your drivers licence). The second time it is even higher. After a few times you could get a jail-sentence.
When you get a test, there is no subjective test like 'walk this line'. Just an objective alcohol test, followed by a blood test if found positibe. That second test is done by a doctor. It can not demanded by the police, the police needs to ask a judge to write out the order.
OTOH there are regular campains and "I am Bob" means "I am the desginated driver." That is how succesfull the campaings are. There are also anounced and unanounced alcohol checks that are both there to let people know they should NOT be driving drunk.
There is also Responsible Young Drivers who you can call and will drive you home in your car. With all the people doing work for the community, this should be a great way to do something similar in the USofA.
In Germany people who drive drunk (repeat offenders? Only sume bundeslaender?) have to follow a course that explaines both the dangers of drunk driving and treatment for alcolosm. This is followed up by a shrink who will decide if you get your licence back or not.
If putting fear into people would work, there would be no people in jail in the USofA for e.g. drugs, murder or anything else. (It seems to work only for White Collar Crimes, as almost no bankers go to jail.)
They do that in the supermarket as well. They hang items around unrelated items. e.g. peants in the soap section. It is not so you would buy those that are hanging there, but to make you think "Hey peanuts" and then later go to that section.
Inderect sales are a very important part of advertising. It is all about return on investment. They do not really care if you think it is random or not. They just look at if they get enough sales, regardless of what you think.
I could come up with several reasons that a lawnmower would be marketed towards a pregnant women. To me the most likely one is that they had the place and were thinking thye could sell enough and make a nice profit. X cost. Y sales Z profit.
And most of the times when I see real directed marketing (ok, make that all of the time), I think it is shit. Why would I want to buy a new product X when I just bought one?
If so many are copies, would it not be possible to turn them into a cloud service? That way if one or 10 get taken out, you still have the service available.
And if this is done in many countries, taking it down would be nearly impossible (till the US abuses their power over the DNS)
(And I can't post within 4 minutes of a previous post? I thought this was a discussion site)

The social part takes place after the movie when we talk about the movie. We have experienced something together and then talk about it.

I am glad that the governement is protecting what is important to them.
Seriously: they payed for the governement and the laws. All the people do is vote.
