YouTube has a huge monetization piece. If people want to see it, then Netflix would pick it up or the market will spring up a dedicated Netflix for this kind of stuff. The majority of foreign/local films aren't worth the bandwidth for the majority of people though. If your government starts requiring 1/3 of the advertising space (which is basically what putting it in Netflix' suggestions is) more people will be pissed about the irrelevant content taking up their screen real estate than the number of people interested in weird films.
It doesn't work that way on the Internet though which is why these new media are so successful. You can put stuff for free on the Internet and let the market speak. Even if it's a tiny market, I can switch my account from Netflix to just about any content provider.
The thing is that hosting that said "artwork" is practically free to produce and display on current media platforms. If Netflix doesn't find it worthy then put it on YouTube or FaceBook or WhatsApp or Mega or Reddit or... - people that want it can see it instead of getting it shoved down your throat at gunpoint.
Depends on the city. Where I live, even McDonalds pays their workers $15-20/h and their managers could make up to $25/h. Not because of cost of living (it's very cheap here) but because of lack of workers, partially due to the welfare state. If you pay people $10/h for doing nothing, there is not much incentive to get up in the morning and spend $10 in gas to make $12.50 for 4 hours.
Even if they can flip the presidency somehow, no sane person would ever vote for this bill. It is basically a communist manifesto. A tax on all business that employ the majority of the US workforce?
The other thing that could happen is that if this bill exists, is that welfare would be gutted to ~20-30% of the minimum wage (currently you can get said benefits if you make up to 150% of the minimum wage)
The thing is, this will affect small business a lot more. Amazon can afford a little bit of extra tax. Pretty much everyone that works for less than 150% of the minimum wage is included in this bracket, that's about 50% of the labor force.
You should re-read your SLA.
Microsoft only gives a 95% uptime guarantee for a 100% service credit and only if Microsoft agrees to the credit. They only 'promise' a 99.9% uptime for a 25% credit, that means you can be down for ~45 minutes/month before you get ANY credit and up to 1.5 days before you get a full refund.
I don't think it will have one iota of difference on the left which is pretty much the only users of Twitter.
We had a president and his FBI spying on the Trump campaign, spying on a president-elect and continue spying onto a sitting president and the left doesn't care, as a matter of fact, they support those traitors.
In many cases these people plead guilty to gain immunity while avoiding a trial in exchange for cooperating with the feds.
It's easier to get guilty verdicts on criminals if their cohorts (even if they did technically nothing wrong) pleaded guilty in exchange for immunity.
This is exactly what happened in the Manafort case. Mueller got a bunch of people to plead guilty on technicalities in exchange for immunity and then a jury trial on unrelated issues is primed to vote guilty.
There are people that make money of the software through services (eg. Canonical and Red Hat) and there are people that simply use it for free and perhaps even make a job out of it because they want to put the effort in it.
FOSS works, no need for SaaS models where everything interesting sits behind a paywall and you get a barebones demo version of an "open source" product that they still want you to contribute to.
If your software is interesting enough, people will use it, some people will make money of it. If a software project is so large that it can't exist without massive financial backing just to keep it maintained, your software has gotten too big and crappy and it should die.
Linux as an example exists regardless of the money that is being pumped in it. It would still exist without it. Android wouldn't exist because it's crappy, it's overly complex and most of the interesting bits (whether it's the hardware on virtually all ARM chips or the applications Google provides) are closed source.
Many European, Asian and others come to the US to get educated. Just as with healthcare, paying for it makes it much better.
You're also paying for your education, here you pay ~10% of your income for 5-10 years to banks and ~2-5% for healthcare. You pay 55% of your income for the rest of your life and both your healthcare and education is shittier.
The only reason tuition goes up is because the market pays for it. You're not obligated to go to a $250k/year college but plenty of people enroll, so much, even second rate colleges are picking and choosing students.
Colleges have seen a boom in the last decade and can't keep up their building expansion with enrollments. Even so, tuition only pays for a fraction of the cost of keeping a college running.
There really is no difference. GMO protects farming from diseases and organisms that are inherent to massive monocultures. We can't get off monocultures because we don't have enough farmland for everyone to eat cheaply with low yields.
If you want organic, nobody is stopping you from eating food that has "even more poison" than non-organic foods, it's also four times as expensive so you being rich has more to do with you being able to eat organic than either health or necessity for the rest of the world.
GMO's have proven to be safer and better yielding than non-GMO foods. Now we want to try that on humans too.

Without looking, it's posted by either BeauHD or msmash. Political hitpieces by the left have become par for the course here on /.

Definitely. In most cases/states $35k is the cutoff unless you're pregnant/disabled then it can be even higher.

You can get arrested on mere accusation.
Microsoft's SLA is 95%. So it's more like Office 346.

Welcome to /. slowly being destroyed by the left. Any "rape" allegation is true and important for the world to know about.

Remember when Obama did. Rules have changed since Nixon.
We did but then Greenpeace decided that "nuclear is bad" and so we're now stuck with gas, oil and other options that are way worse.
You could use the BootCamp method to install Linux. Nothing special between Windows and Linux on a Mac besides a different boot disk.

Tell that to the people who had their leg amputated because getting a surgery scheduled took too long.
Kids these days don't know but that game, music and sound effects all fit in less than 15MB and was infinitely more fun than whatever we have now.
Ever tried getting healthcare in Canada?
Why are you promoting genocide of leftists?
