Plus, the news of this would already be priced into the stock, so if anything the price is already low and these companies would need to pivot their business (which would increase the value again) or die (which would lower the price marginally, to zero). Either way, shorting is a bad strategy in this case.

Lifter ,

Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.

"50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead". You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.

If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it's going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.

It's right there in the name . WINamp

I don't think n64 did. They even had major frame drops in many games.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

It's worth noting though, that Spotify has been bleeding money since the start. I know they may be wasting a lot of money on side hustles but still. They're not raking home any money. The only way the founders got rich is by the overinflated stock price.

But Jay Z made that version too, knowing fully that the distributer can choose which pegi-level they want to use - rather than blocking the song altogether, or worse bleeping the bad language.

You can choose which pegi-level you use in the software, maybe your system is set up to defaults?

I think it's weird to blame this on Spotify...

Solar power, yes definitely. Is power not a basic utility?

Lifter ,

Wasn't that the point though? You're arguing that small scale power doesn't exist when it clearly does.

Lifter ,

Put a solar panel on your roof.

Lifter ,

I apologize. I misread your comment!

Noobs don't know to avoid snaps... But that setup wpuld be good to recommend if a noob really needs to use arch, btw.

That's not how randomness works. You would want to randomize once, saving the number of steps remaining until the bullet is the next shot, decrementing the number of steps for each try.

Just get Krita already!

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

No software updates needed if there is no software to begin with...

That's not how Apple works at all. They have had iMessage for a long while now and refuse to open up the technology. They want to monopolize the communications so that they can keep controlling it.

My guess is they are just trying to sabotage any attempts at an open standard.

Lifter ,

I think the point is that if it can be sabotaged by a central authority, it sucks. Both Apple and Google suck.

In Sweden, it was mandatory for kindergartens to have "digital learning tools" up until a year ago. I wonder who came up with that brilliant idea.

Lifter ,

What I mean is that it might not be so simple as not giving them access to it if other institutions persist in forcing it on them.

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

"Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

Lifter ,

Music is getting worse though. Spotify is bloating all searches with stuff you don't want. The "Artist top songs" is rarely the most popular songs and is limited to 10 song. In the beginning you could list all the songs from an artist and sort it on "Plays".

Lifter ,

But it actually makes sense with technology. If you need help, you want there to be a large community and corpus of knowledge to draw from.
