These folks seem to have a different understanding than you.

Specifically:

Since as many as 10 percent of the lowest-wage workers leave or start jobs every month, any decrease in the number of full-time equivalent jobs will mean that some workers will take more time finding a new job, or will work fewer hours. But many of these workers may still see their annual earnings rise because of their wage increase.

Summer Glau: Am I a joke to you?

Tomorrow: 3 Million hacked smart fridges were used to spread misinformation that the 3 million toothbrush story wasn’t true.

Even in financial terms “sustainably” always pisses me off. None of these companies are trying to sustain, they demand constant growth to be happy. Never ending growth is never sustainable.

I’d argue running a laptop from the 00s is the least boomer thing to do. Buying a new Macbook every two years while complaining that you don’t have enough money and joking about how you’re spending your kid’s inheritance is the boomer thing to do.

Bummer. Not because of the extra $3, honestly I’ll probably just pay it. But because until now Prime programming has been able to operate with a certain freedom. I know 0 people with prime for the video (as opposed to the free delivery) so they were willing to take risks with the shows.

Solos and Tales from the Loop are both amazing works of art that would never have shown up on network TV, or Netflix which would much rather make cheap mass appeal shows with little depth. Even more shows with wider appeal (e.g. The Expanse) might not survive the TV Executive mindset now that they have a reason to care about the number of views as a primary metric, over user happiness.

And honestly, it all baffles me, I will gladly subscribe to a streaming service for one great show. Produce 3 or 4 a year and I’m subscribed for good. If I wanted an endless string of medicore baking reality shows, I’d get cable again.

CEO of public company actively makes product worse because of business dealings at a seperate private company owned by said CEO. Not that Tesla shareholders don’t already have enough reason to be pissed, but good lord.

And it’s not a “feud” that would imply Disney is being petty instead of making the fucking obvious business decision to pull advertising spend from the dumpster fire of racism and controversy that is Twitter.

I see it an more an inability to analyze, evaluate, and edit. A lot of “creativity” in the world of musical composition is putting together existing elements and seeing what happens. Any composer from pop to the very avant-garde, is influenced and sometimes even borrow from their predecessors (it’s why copyright law is so complex in music).

It’s the ability to make judgements, does this sound good/interesting, does this have value, would anyone want to listen to this, and adjust accordingly that will lead to something original and great. Humans are so good at this, we might be making edits before the notes hit the page (Brainstorming). This AI clearly wasn’t. And deciding on value, seems wildly complex for modern day computers. Humans can agree on it (if you like Rock, but hate country for example).

So in the end, they are “creative” but in a monkey-typewritter situation, but who is going to sort through the billions of songs like this to find the one masterpiece?

My cat is adorable, but if she doesn’t know you she WILL cut a bish. We warn everyone who comes in, but the number of times we’ve had to intervene when a landlord’s agent, repairperson, etc was convinced they’d be the first stranger she liked… Look, but do NOT touch.

Wow, the Lord’s truth right here. I never saw it that way, but it absolutely explains why the last company I left put me through 4 reorgs in 3 years. So many middle managers with nothing better to do while an increasingly smaller handful of people kept the place from burning down.

It’s like a hurdles race for toddlers. Its literally just a bar on the ground to hop over, and they still sometimes fail.

Absolutely no self-respecting Londoner is accepting those pints without asking for a top-up.

For anything that is short measure, and particularly anything more than 5% short, we recommend that you ask the bar staff for an immediate top-up.

ETA: Just realized this is at Fourpure, likely when they did that stupid photo op holding empty 30L kegs to celebrate passing duty relief for beer sold in 40L packaging or greater.

As the “techie” guy on the marketing team, this offends me on so many levels…

Everyone knows it’s “C://>”

Im at a stage where I am more than happy to pay for really good shows. It really isn’t about price, just value. It’s just been ages since NF made anything stellar.

They said about The OA (I loved season 1)…

Neflix describes The OA as “a big creative swing we were proud to take,” but says that when it comes to deciding what to renew and what to cancel, “viewing versus cost” is always what it takes into account.

This philosophy means we get loads of average crap. They aren’t a regular network, why the hell are they acting like it.

I’ve said before, because it’s linked with delivery, Prime seems to be the only service willing to take risks, and they make some great stuff because of it. HBO seems to be a distant second.

Ah yes, because derivative reality shows and bottom-of-the-barrel adult cartoons are so expensive to produce.

What the hell happened, you used to be good.

Just cancelled, haven’t touched NF since I subbed to HBO (and even that is getting cancelled next month). Maybe its time to try Hulu.

“[This could] go on and potentially hit other satellites, causing yet more debris and potentially cause a cascade reaction.”

“Just like the…”

“Sigh, yes like the Sandra Bullock movie.”

What if I mix in some flaming hot crumbs and deep fry?

(Disclaimer: Don’t do this.)

I’m in

Not any more, but yeah, most of the trains were suspended. I paid about $80 to get home to Brooklyn.

A Co-op Ride to anywhere you want in NYC
$1,000

Honestly today, this was competitive pricing against Lyft…
