  1. Thats why a direct payment method away from politically active CC, banks, platforms, online payment service is so needed.
    More money and support direct to the content creator with no fear of not getting funding due to politics.
    Let the supporters, fans and users decide who they want to fund and why.
    A small number of near monopoly banking products should not be the funding method used.
    Time for some tech freedom and funding competition away from politics and virtue signalling.

    Why should a third party take money from people supporting the content they want to support AC?

  3. A study into how a comment will sell :)
    "Make" with "male" and enjoy the comments.

  4. That gives more money direct to content creators from their supporters.
    No need for 3rd party politicly active payment services.

  5. Re:So can any other prediction company on Google's DeepMind Can Predict Wind Patterns a Day In Advance (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The trick in the real world is the cost of energy when wind alters and the wind turbines stop working.
    Then the energy market has to find and price in other types of energy at great cost.
    eg at night if the wind stops and the sun is not out for solar.
    Power has to stay on and has to be generated.
    A correct prediction allows for better use of energy production that can take time to set up and get ready due to complex solar and wind energy production problems.

  8. Design software that does many things.
    Break up the software into shareware type products at a low price.
    That link together as a work flow but can be stand alone.
    Find the impulse buy level for each seperate software product.
    Sell as parts, as a bundle. Add in how to ebooks.
    Use version drift to further keep people buying back in with steep discounts for the next version.
    Discounts for buying into more of the software.
    Keep innovating.
    Listen to your users. Add features as needed due to OS, GPU, CPU support as needed.
    Always thank people for reported security issues. Tell them when the problem is getting worked on and when it is ready. Thank them again.
    People can only spend so much on software, find that amount and sell at the point.

  9. Make in Communist China for $300, sell in free West for $1000 plus, year after year.

  10. Art and what was a script created to keep people entertained was easy to review.
    The issue is people can see past the politics and want better/fun/art movies back.
    Not to pay for an hour of party political reeducation.
    Then have less ability online to tell the world about how much politics was used in the script and for other movie fans to avoid such a political product.
    To find a much better quality movie and support that.

  11. Don't let the truth get out before its global release?
    A great movie should sell due to the skill of the production, not the politics.

    Time for sites to put up reviews and user comments.
    Time for some competition to movie reviews.
    Let people see comments and find reviews of political movies before they go see the movie.
    Then spend their money on much better quality movies with plot, content, fun, creativity.

    The walking of a persons past is normal for most nations and in the USA when needing a security clearance.
    The CIA, NSA, GCHQ, MI5/6, US mil do not want another generation of security cleared people giving away US/UK mil secrets due to their politics again.
    Checking digital citizenship and US digital academic results is not a full background investigation.
    Someone actually has to go out in person and interview a persons life story.
    Friends, teachers, fellow students, past relationships until the full story of a person is on file.
    Local court records for past criminality that might not have been put on searchable national digital networks.
    Does it match the resume presented? The past work listed? What the person told about their life during an interview.
    Spending habits, reading material, internet use, debt, holidays, ideology. Contact with media. Faith and religion with connections to another notion?
    A split loyalty?
    Gaps in their presented biographies in digital form that don't match interviews done in person with mentioned people, friends, academics.
    What was that person doing at that time? Still in the USA at that time? Who was looking after them? Savings? Payments made?
    Political connections with any other nation, years of internet support for banned groups? Funding of banned groups?
    The people who can be trusted with US mil secrets can then be found and will be able to keep US mil secrets.

    Want to work for the US mil? The security services? Expect a presented life story to be looked over.

    The "not politically support" is one of the first things any nations security clearance should detect.

    Why would any nation allow people near its secrets who are not in politically support of that nation?
    What faith, political view or other nation are they in support of?

    First consider the needed security clearances?
    Workers for any part of any project for the US mil should not go full outcry.
    The background investigations should have considered the politics of all staff who could have an need to outcry.
    They never should have seen or been aware of any US mil project.
    Better testing and background investigations should find the perfect staff able to work on complex mil and security sensitive tasks.
    A democracy should be able to work with any company that has security clearances to work on a mil project.
    No outcry.
    Not expect to read about such mil work in the media in real time.

    How to fox this?
    Ensure a company is actually able to keep secrets. Test the staff with a totally fictional project that f they talk about is no loss first. See who talks to the media using fictional project terms.

    Do full and actual background investigations.
    Walk the backgrounds of staff. Their politics, education, skills, hobbies, banking, network use, reading. University politics, friends, social media use.
    Friends of friends.
    See who can be trusted to work on a mil project.
    Then talk about the real project with staff.

    Lots of speed and a less data is not a new way of selling.
