What is the use case that requires AirPlay support to cast Netflix to a device? What AirPlay receiver doesn't already have a Netflix client?
My use case is streaming to other people's AppleTVs without logging them out of their Netflix applications and entering my own credentials. For me, this happens when I go to visit family (holidays etc), or houses shared with other parts of my family. It also happens on hotels - I'd rather not have to remember to log out when checking out.
It's something I need a couple of times a year, and unfortunately I needed it last weekend - first weekend by the sea this year, as the snow and winter are finally gone.
Just giving a couple of people some money called UBI instead of a similar amount of money as "unemployment benefit" is not "a test of UBI at the national level".
UBI in different incarnations has many implications, and without adding it all together the test doesn't really test UBI...
Most UBIs I've seen replace other forms of welfare, with a set amount. Thus, to fully test it paid sick leave, paid maternity leave, disability pensions etc. should go away - not just unemployment benefits/social welfare.
If benefits based on income are replaced with UBI, getting a child or getting sick would cause a huge drop in income for people working while benefitting people not working. If benefits are not replaced, UBI will become even more expensive than it already is.
To finance UBI, taxes must be increased - a lot. How would society cope with "you now get a nice income without working, but if you work, you'll have to pay almost all of it to finance UBI." - would people choose to work?
Definitely sounds like your average Joe cant afford those. @ $50k US?
The median salary in Norway is more than $60k USD, and both adult family members work - so $120k total, pre tax. Compared to fossil cars, you would save on fuel, road pricing and the yearly road tax.
Electric everything does not mean zero emissions if your electrical production facilities are pumping our emissions like crazy. Nuclear is the only current answer for this that is consistent and sustainable
Norway's electricity production is dominated by hydro power, with a little bit of wind - 98% renewable.
Wouldn't it be cheaper/easier to have the buses tow a trailer with their battery pack? That way they can swap out the drained one in a couple of minutes.
The total tax on 850,000NKR (around 100,000 USD) is 30.8%
Please focus.
It's slightly more than that... 31.8%. The marginal tax rate caps at 46.6%. Also, note that in addition to this there is VAT (25% on pretty much everything you buy) and extra taxes for things like gas, tobacco or alcohol. And cars, unless you buy electric ones. Plus taxes on your income which you don't see, but is paid by your employer.
On the very positive side: health care is free, education up to and including university level is free and kindergartens are heavily subsidized - so that people can work, and thus earn money to pay for all of this. These costs are often not included when comparing the tax rate to the US - the question isn't just what you pay in taxes, but what you get in return.
The left wing of the Democratic party (Berniecrats? Justice Democrats? Call 'em what you like) will do it, and they've been gaining ground since 2015. Trump has, if anything, been a huge boost to them. It showed loud and clear that the old school, Clintonian / Establishment Democrats are a dead end.
The only question right now is will the old money folks manage to crush the left wing. I honestly don't know. It depends on the Millennials. If they show up to vote we win. If they stay home we lose and everything the boomers said about them is proven true. Time will tell.
The bad part is, if the loonie left gets to select a candidate chances are Drumpf would win. 3% wealth tax and 70% income tax might be just what he needs to win. I'm not an American (I have worked there a couple of years), and I can't fathom how he managed to get elected. However, while almost everything of what he and his voters stand appal me if the opposition said "3% wealth tax, 70% income tax" I might just have voted for him if I had to select one of them.
That one side goes insane doesn't mean the other side has to go extremist as well.
So instead they should cater to the misogynist, historically challenged incel gamers out there?
I think you need to get a clue. Let me explain what actually happened.
EA claimed they were "telling the untold stories of WW2," but what they instead did was to rewrite history to push feminist propaganda. The game tells the story of Operation Gunnerside in which a team of Norwegian commandos destroy a Nazi heavy water production facility. However, in the game EA/DICE have written the Norwegian commandos out of history. Instead, the team who destroy the Nazi facility is a strong, empowered, educated mother and daughter team, who are not only scientists but unstoppable soldiers who can physically overpower any man. Clearly, this isn't "telling the untold stories of WW2," but rewriting history to push an agenda. There's a video here which shows the game scenario and then explains what actually happened during WW2. It's quite long, but you only need to watch the first five minutes and you'll get the point.
The whole game was a work of propaganda, designed not to appeal to gamers, but to force feminist propaganda on players. Then, despite completely rewriting history, they told gamers they were "uneducated" and said, "if you don't like it, don't buy it," which is why so few people bought the game.
But hey, don't let reality get in your way. Just keep claiming it's all the fault of "historically challenged incel gamers." Moron.
Not having played the game, a historical representation of "Operation Gunnerside" would have been a poor match for Battlefield. No shots fired, no Germans killed. Just patience, a bit of stealth and coming in and leaving over the mountains in wintertime. Women being part of it is the least of the problems in a BF V representation... so why so much hate on that point?
You're assuming they will allow multiple people to use a premium package.
The packages are for multiple people in the same household. What all services like Netflix want to crack down on are people using family plans for non-families, and thus get a lower price than what they should pay.
Netflix doesn't mind me and my wife looking at different streams at different locations due to travel etc (e.g. I'm abroad, my wife is at home), but would mind if I did "Hmm, I've got a 4 stream subscription but my wife and me are only two. I should share this with my parent and with my sister's family, so they can cancel their subscriptions".
There is nothing in the source that hints that Netflix are at all interested in using this, and there is nothing at all that links them with Netflix.
Further, while Netflix might someday stop this type of activity, they already monetize it by charging subscribers higher prices if they want to be able to view multiple streams simultaneously.
They don't mind people having multiple streams at once - that's even part of their plans (basic: 1, standard: 2, premium: 4) alongside other benefits. What they try to identify is people sharing their accounts beyond their household, which is against their TOS.
Netflix charges per simultaneous stream, sharing your password either means you cant use it or you need a bigger plan which earns them more money.
They charge for simultaneous streams within your household - thus, you are not allowed to e.g. split the cost of one plan between 4 families and they'll just use the samme account. Note that the number fo streams is only aspect of their plans - my plan has 4 simultaneous streams, but we are just two in the household. The reason why my wife and I has the premium plan is UHD.
Does that count replacing the battery pack every few years? Don't forget, those things run on the same battery technology cell phones use, and a cell phone battery only lasts a few years.
Not to mention climate issues - you can't use those batteries in any place where it gets too cold or too hot, which is - well, basically, everywhere.
It was the first time in the history of the world championship, which dates to the 1800s, that regulation play ended with every game a draw," the report notes.
While that may be true, that is because until recently (1985) the match winner was the first to reach a specific number of wins - 10 in the first World Chess Championship. In 1984-1985, the winner would be the first to 6 wins - but the the match was cancelled after 48 games, including 17 draws in a row. After this, the match was changed to "best of x games" - in the restarted match it was 24 games, now it's down to 12.
Bobby Fischer felt the same way and proposed Chess960 which has a random initial board configuration for that reason:
In a 2006 Icelandic Radio interview, Fischer explained his dissatisfaction with the current chess:[575]
[In] chess, so much depends on opening theory, so the champions before the last century didn't know nearly as much as, say, I do and other players know about opening theory. So if you just brought them back from the dead they might not do too well, because they'd get bad openings. You cannot compare the playing strength, you can only talk about natural ability, because now there is so much more opening theory, so much more memorization. Memorization is enormously powerful. Some kid of fourteen today, or even younger, could get the opening advantage against Capablanca, or especially against the players of the previous century, like Morphy and Steinitz, easily. Maybe they'd still be able to outplay the young kid of today, but maybe not. Because nowadays when you get the opening advantage, not only do you get the opening advantage, but you know how to play the opening advantage â" they have so many examples of what to do from this position. So it's really deadly, it is very deadly... that's why I don't like chess anymore... It's all just memorization and prearrangement, it's a terrible game now. A very un-creative game now.
Their alternative is you pay a monthly fee for their exciting new subscriber service, to go ad-free and also have access to all of their exciting channels. I mean really exciting. Channels. Of fun. Woohoo!
The problem with that is that they only offer that as an add-on to their latest failing Spotify-competitor. You cannot subscribe to it stand-alone.
It is the usual argument from manufacturers, it is both right and wrong.
Most people really don't care, same for removable batteries, physical keyboards, styluses, etc... What people care about now is a good screen ratio. Manufacturers make phones for the majority and so, omit the niche features and go with the flow (i.e. copy Apple). But in the end, many people don't get what they want and all phones are the same.
It is, I think, a manifestation of Hotelling's law. A game theory principle that says that for every actor, it is more profitable to go towards the average, even though the net result benefits no one. It is the same law that can explain why the local McDonald's is right next to the Burger King.
It's not only that people don't care, it's that there are tradeoffs If you don't intend to use extra batteries - and most people didn't - a replaceable battery is worse than a non-replaceable one. It makes waterproofing harder, it limits the flexibility of component layout and it takes up room that could have been used for more battery capacity.
Physical keyboards fell out of fashion because they take up a significant part of the possible screen estate, they are less flexible when it comes to layouts (you have to make a lot of variants) and they're also not good for the emoji-craze. Also, with new input methods like Swiftkey, not using a physical keyboard is faster.
Yes. As is apparent, I am NOT a fan of on-line anonymity. I truly consider speech that you can't be personally held accountable for to be the words of true cowards who have nothing of value to contribute to society. I will continue to rail against it.
I like anonymity, and use it in most circumstances except here. I don't mind that someone who sees something that I've written can see who I am, what I mind is someone else can look me up and find out what I've written.
Intel has effectively missed it's 10nm die shrink when Samsung and TSMC are on 7nm. Intel better have 5nm in it's back pocket because it's pointless building any 10nm CPU's now (maybe other chips instead.)
These values (14 nm, 10 nm, 7 nm) are notdirectly comparable. These days, the values seems more like marketing numbers.
Intel does need to focus more on innovation and implementation and less on customer segmentation, though. Intel used to be so far ahead that even an inferior processor design was on par with the competition, due to the advantage in fabrication.
Total iPhone units sold between 2007 and 2017 worldwide is 216.76 million. So not literally a billion; in fact, the article is specifically about iOS, so we can leave out macs. An iPhone will stay in use for about 5 years so let's assume that half of those 216 million devices is still using Safari and will get the search provider pushed. That's 9 billion for 100 million users, or USD 90 per IOS user. Assume I made a mistake and it would only amount to a third of that per user. I would still be worried if Google would pay my phone manufacturer that for providing me ads.
That was a lot of words to argue semantics before agreeing with me, but if "his businesses" went bankrupt and he is the owner, then that is what people mean when they say he went bankrupt.
I just don't agree with the people he's a bad person because some of his companies had some bankruptcies. There are a lot of reasons to think he is a bad person, a couple of failed businesses aren't.
I always love these "Most people don't understand that Trump just sounds like a moron who went bankrupt several times and couldn't even make money with a casino, but really he is a negotiation wizard and very stable genius who went bankrupt several times and couldn't even make money with a casino" comments. Pure gold.
He didn't go bankrupt. A couple of his companies did. If you're involved in many businesses of that kind - hotels, restaurants etc - some will go bust.
If you want to criticise his business sense, better to focus on the con Trump University. Or that if he had put the money he got from his father in stock market - index funds and thus just get average returns - he'd have more than three times as much money. In other words, he's been doing way below average with the money he got - not exactly a huge success or a good businessman.
Apple prices may increase because of the massive Tariffs we may be imposing on China - but there is an easy solution where there would be ZERO tax, and indeed a tax incentive. Make your products in the United States instead of China. Start building new plants now. Exciting! #MAGA
Good lordy Trump is such a moron.
Does he truly not realize that consumer prices will rise with either model?
1) Build in China with tariffs: Consumer prices increase.
2) Build in the USA with American wages. Consumer prices increase.
Tariffs are bad, but do note that prices on iPhones etc. aren't set to match production costs - it's not exactly the marginal cost of producing one more device. The prices are set to what Apple believes will give it the most profit, given the current market. So for these products, the end result of such a tariff - all the effects on world trade, people losing their jobs etc aside - could just be a lower marin for Apple. If they could have raised the prices 100 USD without tariffs, they would probably have done so.
What does Photoshop do with Windows 10 that it can't do with Windows 7?
Exactly.
As much as I may hate Microsoft, they have always done a good job of maintaining backward compatibility. My copy of Microsoft Office 2003 runs just fine on Windows 10. But Windows 10 is broken, unusable shit, so I went back to Windows 7.
If the latest version of Photoshop runs on Windows 7 today, the only reason it would not run on Windows 7 tomorrow is if you deliberately change Photoshop for the specific purpose of breaking compatibility.
You're confusing backwards compatibility (apps that work on Windows 7 work on Windows 10) with forwards compatibility (apps that work on Windows 10 work on Windows 7). I don't know Windows that well, but it's perfectly possible for Microsoft to have added capabilities and features that are useful for Adobe and are present in modern Windows but not in Windows as release a decade ago.

Tell me again why the browser matters?
Because you do not want a single entity which makes its living from tracking and selling you to be in control of all web browsing.
A donation is not a sponsorship. They also need the monies and where unable to get it from users, something they would have referred.
So you and I (as a matter of speech) did not do enough. According to Wikipedia, 99% of the users gave nothing.
So now I know what being a 1%-er feels like.

Not to mention climate issues - you can't use those batteries in any place where it gets too cold or too hot, which is - well, basically, everywhere.
You do not need to replace the battery pack every few years. Also, batteries work just fine in cold temperatures - sure, they lose some range while it's cold, but not permanently. You can also preheat the car to avoid the problem. In Norway, home of reindeer, snow, ice and skiing almost 50% of the car sales in September was pure electric cars. Granted, the last month of a quarter is higher than usual but on a normal month, like November, it was 41%. In addition to this, hybrids are another 25-30%.
