They only show ads for other shows on their own service (at least in my region), and they're skippable, but I'm not defending it, it's still bad and serves no purpose for the customer. What bothers me more with Prime is that

A couple of months ago I was sitting at my desk when the kids were asleep and was going to put some show on the second monitor while I was doing some boring admin. I open a Netflix tab on the same machine, same browser, same LAN, no VPN as

Actually answering the question you quoted would inform whether or not you're using "merit" in an unusual way. How does "meritocracy" exist as a term when "democracy" already encapsulates the political rep

1) DEI can be done badly, of course, and in an ideal world would be unnecessary, I think anyone on either side of any spectrum wants merit over anything else, but for various historical, systemic, as well as unconscious bias [1], this has n

In the BBB, they deferred tax hikes on poor people to after the midterms (we all know why, but that's an aside), meaning they didn't feel they needed the budget balanced immediately. Yet with USAID they cut it the next month, mean

You just redefined "merit" into a term that immediately invalidates their entire argument regarding DEI.

Meaning they have a lot of taxable assets, under current tax code. Otherwise they wouldn't care. There are estimates that every dollar spent on the IRS yields 6 dollars in collected taxes [1][2], without passing any changes. The only r

In this specific case I absolutely agree with you, but if going outside the thread on GPs point, I am way more lenient towards (non commercially backed) OSS projects. I'm usually using the product because no one other than the voluntee

If this was true there would not be millions/billions constantly spent on pushing for tax cuts and lobbying and hollowing out IRS enforcement.

In my region Premium is actually $0.60 cheaper per month, with the additional 3TB storage, and that's before yearly billing. Confusing indeed.

I don't think the issue is whether the history in the comparison is correct, but rather whether or not it is an apt comparison at all.

How would you identify an arrest by law enforcement to know whether or not you are obstructing it?

Presumably your goal is to extract some practical value from this and not just higher benchmark numbers. If you can get the functionality you need from last-gen, there's no point in paying for next-gen. YMMV.

Two scenarios here: 1) They don't react with anything, meaning the billions of tons we produce keep increasing. Forever. 2) They do react, break down, get into the soil, water, blood, people, and have studied detrimental effects, and m

It passed the house with 357–66 and senate with 98–1. That's well passed the required two thirds for passing an amendment if they wanted to. I'm as critical as anyone, but GP's point stands.
