The percentage of people who would pay for it, probably wouldn't make up for the dev time to implement it. Once upon a time the HN userbase and the reddit user base weren't a million miles apart, those days are long gone, reddit i

Seems like the real answer is, you have to pay for ongoing support or the base cost of the device has to go up a lot or you roll your own with pc hardware and you're responsible for updating and making sure everything still works.

They realise it, they created britbox which has the BBC, ITV,Channel 4 and Channel 5, basically all the historic over the air tv channels in the UK. Anything they can legally get away with licensing to international audiences is in it I thi

MMT is wrong in the sense that it's unimplementable. If you need to curb spending or raise taxes to slow inflation in the latter half of a cycle a politician can run on a platform of not doing that thing, get elected on that mandate an

They presumably had existing supply agreements in place. Some companies would've expected demand to increase due to everyone being at home during the pandemic and planned accordingly.

The monarchy is an old institution, a bit like an old historic city, cathedral or museum. The British are very distrustful of knocking down old things to replace them with new because once they're gone they cannot be brought back inste

It got too big. It's the internets default forum, it's actually a testament to the subreddit model that it actually has been able to keep growing without completely going to shit. I know there's people who think it has but th

None of them surface the specific article (which had the latest and largest number published by EA in it) near the top, some did have it towards the bottom of the results. In fairness, it's possible google has me so trained to expect t

Cigars aren't a million miles away from pipe tobacco, you don't inhale them either (some do, but they're lunatics). Larger sizes will probably take an hour, the largest closer to two. Power wise, it very much depends on the c

Nicotine seems to vary depending on the delivery mechanism. Cigar (not inhaled) do not seem to be addictive at all for most who use them, more of a hobby. I've used the little Swedish "packets" you slip under your top lip and

It's not crap, it's good enough. Like wordpress is good enough. That's really how life works, subject matter experts look for perfection while the average person is happy with good enough. Do you buy the best dishwasher or do

Cloud is just a big toolbox of premade tools and resources that you can play with to your hearts content with much of the friction taken out, both technical and bureaucratic. You pay a higher price for what you use than if you maintain thos

Well from my pov just because there's lots of it doesn't mean it's interchangeable? I think legal protections on what you create gives you an avenue towards making a full time career out of what you do. And I don't think

Then what's the issue with copyright? There's more art than ever, but yet the ability to have a legal protection in order to make money on your art is somehow a problem? How?

Your spouse works so you can write your book. You publish your book and it's a success, you die the next year. Work is immediately public domain and your spouse gets nothing? I don't think so.

The biggest IP is Bond and the Broccoli family own 50% of it and have creative control over the movies (and whether or not it can be a tv series). I imagine that's the complication, you buy MGM but don't really have full control o

Futon, for sleeping on. Used to wake up in the middle of the night with agonising cramp in my back, it reduced it by maybe 95%. Granted a new good bed might have achieved the same but I don't think I'd ever go back to a bed at thi

This was part of the reason why a lot of previously nationalised stuff was privatised in the first place. MP's would get people complaining to them about the quality of their phone lines from BT for example. It all moves in cycles, I c

A small number of mega corporations have always controlled the media marketplace, the difference is streaming is shaking things up and making a new set of mega-corporations in addition to the existing ones.

In any other industry, having companies compete against each other to create the best product in order to attract customers is the ideal situation... except television? People might not like balkanization of content, but it forces different

How? So long as there are multiple competitors after the same customers I don't really see how this happens. Hell, we only really have 3 major cloud computing platforms (along with some minor ones), but consistently the prices of every

Distribution was physical back in the day, your choice of cinema was dictated by location. Locking specific movies to specific cinemas was a detriment to the public for that reason. Does that matter when the alternative is via distribution
