You don't get to just pretend the service fee doesn't exist. I'm talking about the percentage of the money the Patron is charged that ends up going to the creator.
If someone was supporting 10 patrons for $1/month each, then Patreon would bill them ONCE for $10 each month and the single transaction fee was split between the 10 creators. The result being each creator would get around 90 cents. This is what made the ecosystem of small donations actually work.
Now that person is billed 10 times with 10 transaction fees totaling $14 and each creator receives 95 cents.
Before the creators were getting 90% of the donation. Now they are getting 68%. People are upset because it breaks the system that only existed because of the way the fees were originally structured.
And it needs an even later version of iOS. It is possible to get podcasts to play by downloading them on itunes and then syncing the ipod but that's a pain. Generally I'm doing something and I think, hey I could listen to a podcast while I'm doing this and I can't just get it right then so I never bother.
It's fine that you can't always install the latest OS on older technology. It's not fine to break the software on that older technology so that it now requires an app that only runs on the newer OS that you can't install. They broke podcasts on my ipod touch by moving them to an app that I can't install.
Your cut is the content on the website where the ads are running. When you buy groceries do you pay your money and then ask for your cut of what you just paid? I mean if it wasn't for you and people like you showing up to buy food there they would be out of business. They should really pay you for that.
The thing is people are really quite bad at driving. People who are bad at folding laundry just have wrinkled clothes. People who are bad at driving kill people. "According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.25 million deaths worldwide in the year 2010." How many technological advances have the potential to save a million lives per year?
We have no idea how closely they've been following what GRRM intends for most of the last two seasons. Yes, they've had to make a lot of changes because GRRM failed to move the plot anywhere in the last 2000 pages, but no, they didn't have to abandon storytelling for spectacle.
I've always felt with the LOTR movies that Jackson put all his energy into trying to make the difficult to adapt sections of the books work on screen. When it came to the big moments, the stuff that was supposed to be "easy" all the effort went into the technical challenges. So it all just feels empty. So I could get behind a tv adaptation the way that the early GoT seasons were done. Whern they didn't have the budget for spectacle and they expected a lot out of the audience besides the ability to suspend disbelief.
I guess since Game of Thrones is throwing away everything that made it different from all the other crap in the early seasons in favor of nonsensical spectacle it's only fitting to turn the nonsensical spectacle of the LOTR movies into a realistic television series.
I get a little money from YouTube ads. It doesn't come anywhere near to paying for the hours that go into making my content. I'm okay with that but the more money I get the easier it is to justify the time spent. I used to be like you and think I was cool for knowing what an adblocker is.
The fact that we have to go to a UK site to even hear about it because there's nothing on CNN or NBC about it makes this theory plausible. I mean there's an AP story about a suspected Russian-hacked voting machine being wiped and CNN isn't running it as the top story? I wouldn't expect to see FoxNews touch it with a 10 ft pole but if CNN isn't running with it that's very fishy.
You've had to pay to get your non-personal page posts to be shown to more than a tiny percentage of the people that follow your page for a long time. Which is why I don't use it. Every time I go to Facebook they try to get me to buy an ad to actually show my posts, that I don't make, to somebody.
They have been working on a new toy, precision guided nuclear bombs. They want to play with the new toy. If they can't drop them on somebody they can at least put it on the bombers and park them out where everybody can see them.
Also the New START treaty goes into effect Feb 5th, 2018. They may feel like with fewer missiles they need the bombers to be more ready.
I have an android phone and a pc so no, I am not an Apple user or fanboy. You missed the point of my example. Nikon is under no obligation to test its future cameras against existing Sigma lenses. They don't break them on purpose it just happens sometimes. Apple is under no obligation to test its software updates against third party hardware. The third party vendor can only test its hardware against existing software. They don't have the information to be sure their hardware will be compatible in the future. There are bound to be unforeseen compatibility issues and this is the chance you take.
Let's turn a story about Apple fixing a compatibility issue with non-warrantied third party parts into a story about how Apple is evil and could make phones that use third party parts not work!
You can buy Nikon lenses to go on your Nikon camera. You can buy Sigma lenses to go on your Nikon camera. Nikon never gave Sigma the specifications to make sure their lenses were compatible with Nikon's hardware. Sometimes when Nikon puts out a new camera body it breaks functionality with a Sigma lens. This is not Nikon's problem. When this happens you send your lens back to Sigma and they reflash it, or you buy a special dock that lets you do it yourself.
Making sure your third party screen keeps working when Apple does an update is not Apple's problem, but they did it anyway presumably because it was cheaper than the bad PR they would otherwise get. If it was a really complex problem to solve they wouldn't fix it and you'd have no right to complain about it.
You are comparing wind speed at landfall this year to maximum wind speed in 2005. For example, Katrina made landfall in AL with winds of 125 mph, not 175 mph. Irma sustained 185 mph wind speeds longer than any of those hurricanes. On the other hand it never reached as low of a pressure as some of those storms. So it really depends on what metric you pick to measure, but you've got to at least compare the SAME metric.
Just wanted to second the recommendation for The Talos Principle. It will make you think about more than just solving its puzzles, and some of that may be what you need for the experience to be memorable as an adult. Portal and Portal 2 are also excellent.
Etsy used to have a good community of sellers in the forums that, at least sometimes, kept them from doing stupid things. Then in their run up to the IPO they destroyed it.
1) Banned lots of sellers from being able to post. 2) Redesigned the forums to bury any real discussion with useless crap. 3) Moved the link to the forums from the header to the footer.
It was a clear message about the way things were going to be. We are going to start doing things you aren't going to like and we don't want to hear about it.
Flying these things around other people and their property without liability insurance is pretty foolish. It leads you to doing things like running away when an accident occurs and making everything much worse for yourself.
In the video he apparently acts surprised when he finds the gun. He doesn't tell anyone it's a "reenactment" until his statement and the video don't quite line up with each other and the prosecutor asks him about it.
I thought you meant to rename it to ISSA so Darrell Issa will make sure it gets extra funding. But boy is that the wrong guy to look to for science funding.
End screens are used at the end of the video to show you other videos you might want to watch. The video is essentially over at this point. The old way of doing this was to embed previews of the videos into your video and then put annotations over them so they become clickable. This was time consuming and there was no way to change what videos were being promoted once the video was uploaded. Now you can create an end screen with just a few clicks and swap out the videos if the need arises. They work, too, which is why people would go to all that trouble before. The click-through-rate on the end screen elements on my channel is around 2.5% overall. That includes the subscribe button that is hardly ever clicked. Some are as high as 10%.
I still use my Asus EEE PC. Most of the time it is a glorified mp3 player for my workshop that I don't have to worry about charging. It also runs the controlling software for my cnc. When my PC psu died I used it as my primary PC until I got the new machine together. It actually ran my CAD software (Vectric VCarve Pro) just fine, other than a long initial loading time. It has outlasted every other piece of hardware I had at the time I bought it. Ironic because I bought it since it was cheap enough I didn't care about it living in the dusty environment of my shop.

Right, because you are always hearing stories about Republicans ending weapons programs because they were mismanaged and over budget.

No Star Wars fan would want to come back to and enjoy a story-based linear adventure for a long time to come.

How do you know Kirk wasn't fighting back a regeneration the whole time? It's hard to get a sentence out while doing that.
