- nkozyra 8y agoIt's owned in part by a lot of media companies, primarily as counter-half-measure against YouTube and later Netflix and Amazon. It's not an end game. It's the proverbial finger in the dike, a way to buy time until figuring out the next great way to screw consumers.
- dayofthedaleks 8y agoFyi... for that expression you'd want to use 'dike,' not its homophone.
- nkozyra 8y agoThanks. I'd really like to blame autocorrect here ... yeesh
- teh_klev 8y agoNot sure if edited, but if nkozyra had said "dyke" then it's a perfectly valid (non-derogatory) noun for describing a levee or earthwork to prevent the ingress of water. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dyke https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dyke
- nkozyra 8y agoIt's not common usage in us and given its pejorative association I think the edit provides clarity :)
- dayofthedaleks 8y agoHuh, I'd never known the Australian use as a synonym for jakes/outhouse!
- teh_klev 8y agoI always thought that was a "dunny" in Australian parlance. You learn a new thing every day on HN :)
