They probably do a lot of vanity searches, hit their own website as well as focus on news from their home. Though their staffers probably behave similarly.
They already aren't. Frankfurt has held that position for a long time. London is more than that, though. It's the financial market for the entire world, where all of the regional financial markets (like New York, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and Singapore) meet. That won't be disappearing any time soon. If anyone is losing access to important financial markets, it's the EU with their reduced influence in the London financial markets.
You have a drastically inflated notion of the importance of the London market, if you've followed the news you may have noticed that a number of the banks have already announced they're moving positions out of London.
And they're gaining much freer and better access to the markets of the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, China, Brazil, India, and numerous other places that make the EU look insignificant from an economic perspective.
You aren't gaining additional access to these markets which you did not already have. Given Trumps protectionist notions its more likely that he will further restrict trade in the future.
UK is losing free access to a market 6x their domestic, and won't be the financial market for Europe. Hard to see how that won't result in a slowed economy and they'll certainly have less political influence as they can no longer affect EU policies.
I suspect if you looked closer, a lot of the power sucking attributed to flash is actually due to bloated advertising stacks. The advertising bloat hasn't gone away, they just converted it to javascript.
An unfortunate aspect of games this generation - virtually every game needs a large update to make the game playable. The size of the patches and installs means you probably don't have sufficient hardware space so once Sony & Microsoft stop providing online services for the console those disks will effectively be unusable.
As complexity increases it becomes less likely we'll see emulators thus many of these games will be lost forever in ~10-15 years.
Netflix is making content, but personally I wouldn't call it good. While I can't think of an example offhand, I've also noticed a number of things which they've labelled as an original but they've simply purchased regional exclusivity for.
In the land of comic book readers Deadpool might have a sizeable fanbase, however comic readers make a tiny portion of the movie going public and virtually no one else had ever heard of the character.
You say that, but scroll through their list of content - for me probably less than 10% is even slightly interesting. If it weren't for letting family members use it I'd probably have canned it years ago.
The gander I'm wondering about are people who have hacked US government systems while not on US soil. Seems like the US should not be able to extradite them either....

Funnily... if you think about it, Facebook, Google, etc. are attempting to morph messaging into this too with bots from companies.
Its basically the same thing as postal mail was, occasional correspondence from someone you don't talk to regularly and otherwise bills or junk.

Usually you'd listen to what your QA team has to say, not complete ignore them and allow major bugs to get released.
it's not going to be easy to retrofit the proposed resale mechanism in because of all the existing contracts of sale.
The government can (and should, though its not likely to happen) change the law to require it.
They may have been slightly early, seems like quite a few gamers simultaneously watch twitch streams.

The funny part is Microsoft watched Sony botch their launch of the PlayStation 3 identically the generation before.

From a money perspective major sports contracts are several orders of magnitude over the costs for the content Netflix makes.

Don't forget, it doesn't need to be consumer hardware. We could be talking about data center hardware.
Also break electronics

Heck look at them today - they still want to force their belief system on others.
Its not really site developers for the most part - its f*cking ad networks, content networks, user tracking, etc.
No, you could make the same argument in the physical space. Outside of your borders the US court has no authority.
The reason we have competing message services is because everyone wants to own your eyeballs. Not because of technical reasons.
It tells you they're splitting into two companies...
In Canada the norm is that co-ops are paid.
