So you don't die: The population in the regions where these subscriptions are offered. Every region where a streaming subscription costs $20 per month, 100% of the population has $20 in disposable income per month whether they actually

There's always competition for the consumer dollar, unless you are the only business selling necessities for survival such as electricity, gas, food, and such.

For me personally it is as easy as pressing one button on the remote. But I don't put on videos in the background very often. Worth noting is that there are thousands of high quality YouTube channels without any sponsored content. So t

You can cancel a subscription. That's how subscriptions work. That means that any future changes is not a concern for current offerings. And I can't understand why hackers never acknowledge this. I can put gas in the tank of my ca

YouTube Premium now has integrated sponsor block. At least that's something. And any ads underneath a video is at least not shown in the Roku YouTube player, nor are ad overlays as far as I know, since I've never seen one.

PHP is stil the backbone of the internet and a great tool. I don't think that anybody has to explain why people would want to use it. If somebody doesn't want anything to do with PHP that's their decision, but why clog up the

You have the money, you just don't have the contacts or skills to find a good designer which charges you a fair price. Big design firms will rip you off. Their job is to get corruption contracts from the public sector or big enterprise

If you're surrounded by fools, or maniacs, or any other adjective you don't like, then that's your clue to change environment and the people you surround yourself with. Most of the times it's really just that. Entire nat

Grandchildren. Maybe inheritance will have to start jumping generations due to how people die older and older. Nobody needs any inheritance anymore when they are 60 years old or more, unless they want to use it as blackmail to control their

If the entire company of thousands of employees stand or fall depending on your work alone, then you can find something which pays double your salary in less than a day. And thus pay your mortgage.

Do you mean that these point releases introduce bugs that break third party software?
13.
by carlosjobim 10d ago
You shouldn't have shipped that bug in the first place, I would say. If the bug comes from an Android update, I assume that developers have had access to betas long before the system update is rolled out.

Yes, but one week to wait for your app is nothing to complain about.

100% of the people who write "I would pay, if..." or "I would pay, but..." are people who are never going to pay even a dime. You might be the exception, and sorry for bunching you up with them. You have paid already by

Because? People wait far longer for much more important things in real life.

Why can't you wait for a week? That doesn't sound like a long time.

If you're donating, then you are evidently willing to pay without any "buts". So aren't you arguing against your own actions?

You'd pay the domain owner for it? How much?

by carlosjobim 11d ago
No matter what they did, you'd have a new excuse for why you won't pay.

Markets outside the industrialized world don't have the purchasing power for quality products from the industrialized world. That's why you have to reduce quality to reduce price if you want to sell consumer goods to them. Or wind

A bot is only economical by quantity. Do you think spammers are going to pay for having 10.000 bot accounts per website? Or you assumed that they pay for only one bot and that bot will be allowed to make 500 posts per second?

As long as they pay me, I have no problems with clients writing to me through any kind of third party agent, whether human or machine.

If your customer base is declining, your company isn't making money consistently. Revenues and profits will decline accordingly.

I'm a consumer of software, not a developer. And I can tell you that as a consumer I always prefer something over nothing. If you can do it better, you have a golden opportunity, which you should take, to deliver something better to th

It's because something is better than nothing when it comes to software. Which people always forget. Is eating spoiled food which gives you a disease better than not eating anything? No, it's worse, and therefore the minimum quali

Cars and motorcycles have massively increased in quality compared to before. You can't fix them yourself as easily as before, but also you won't have to. And this fact nukes most of the arguments made in this thread and in the art

That doesn't say anything about quality, except for "should not kill you or give you a disease". What shopper would be satisfied with the bare minimum of the minimum, no matter what they are buying?

Once they reach the limit of demand, then there's nothing more to be made in that price category, so they get more by selling out and lowering quality and price. We're going through massive global depopulation in the entire indust

The alternative to Windows for the majority of people is MacOS. Throw out or sell your old PC and get a Mac, they can be had for cheap in great condition second hand. Or an iPad with a keyboard, which is best for the elderly or other people
