Not just in the US either - in the UK my local gym (part of a national chain) that I've been with for over a decade got bought by a PE firm. In 18 months the fees went up over 60%. They used to give out regular guest passes - now only

I'm not sure if it is the case in the US but in the UK we have similar issues around commercial real estate and there is a problem - a lot of pension funds are invested in them. If they don't recover in value then it will create a

You asked for an example. I provided one. The result of this policy was people were bricking up windows and it was eventually undone because it didn't work. So yes, 'windows' were 'killed' and consequently the expec

Also the normal way to introduce pricing to free services is to make it initially super-cheap so the majority will find it reasonable. Then overtime increase prices as you get a better sense of value and market dynamics. Starting high, crea

I wonder if a pizza chain will pick up the carcass of this startup to use as a base for a robotic pizza maker.

Because developers want to believe they're using something NEW and SHINY. Comparisons to decades old technology doesn't fit into that belief system so some will be hostile towards such suggestions.

I reckon in the coming months we'll see a statement from the CEO 'I take full responsibility' - by which time, it will probably be a bit too late to recover.

I think we saw this in some Hollywood studios - they find a movie that worked and treat it as a 'playbook' to just rinse-and-repeat it in all variations. Eventually, audiences just become fatigued and the 'business creatives&

You’re also forced to use the internet for many everyday tasks and that wasn’t the case 30 years ago. Also credit cards are almost mandatory now with so many places going cashless. I do think we need to stop and think as a society but is a

No one is preventing him from voicing his concerns. I do object to "ensure that every time we someone with that ugly Apple ski mask strapped to their faces we let them know how ridiculous it is" - that bit sounds like he wants to

No one is going to force him to buy one. Especially if it makes him feel isolated. And one nitpick, a device with a 2 hour battery life (or all day if connected to the mains) is clearly not for all-day use. At least not the v1 product they

Dumb question but the frp example shows op forwarding to port 443 on local, how then did the spammers get access to port 25 or was there a separate forward rule setup for 25?

Yes its a huge value loss but isn't this part of the VC model - invest in some companies knowing most will probably whither away in one way or another but a few will hit it out the park? The article mentions Benchmark and Insight have

It's not great that so many streamers are ditching their content like this. What isn't clear to me (even after reading a linked article), is what exactly is the cost of keeping a title 'available' on the platform? For a

And 3 million depend on food banks. Things are getting tough for lots of people and that's with extremely high levels of employment. Not sure this will go well if there is a recession that causes the jobless rate to increase.

BT has been downsizing for years, it is a shell of its former self already. What strikes me as odd is they're viewing 'modernisation' efforts as one-time activities. Come 2030 are they saying they won't need to invest in

Not trying to be funny, but if you're on a 'free forever' plan and happy with it there's already a close-to-0% chance they'll get any money off you...
