Yeah but I watch more YouTube than I do Netflix, it adds more value to my life. I don't know why people say this like Netflix should automatically be allowed to charge more than YouTube because it's making traditional shows.

Anyone else think YouTube Premium is pretty reasonably priced? You are getting a music streaming service on top of ad free YouTube. I've been very happy with it since subscribing.

How expensive is plane travel in the US compared to the EU? The language won't change, but the variety of the US is pretty immense. You could hop on a plane from LA and be in the Texas desert, or the peaks and snow in Colorado, or the

I get that but, unless you're earning £100k+/year, hopping on the train to France every weekend to go practice your French is prohibitively expensive and not realistic

Genuine question: How would the watch help the opponent? Presumably the watch could only relay a very limited amount of data to the opponent that he could utilise without arousing suspcion? And presumably with the way tech is going, you cou

Yeah I don't disagree that if the AI can get it spot on which I think it will be able to do eventually it will take over. It will take over even if it's not spot on, because the bottom line is all that matters to the major studios

I wouldn't say they're being silly no. Think of what is going to happen when anyone on planet earth can make any kind of photo realistic propaganda materials they want. Imagine somewhere else on the planet with tensions between tw

Rather than using the menu drop down button, I would integrate that into the title of the right panel, so you click the title of the panel and that brings up the options for each section like "Add Tokens, Map Details" etc. I'

I don't see a runaway AI itself causing the conflict but I could see AI easily fanning the flames. Think both AI tools such as completely fake viral footage of war atrocities and other propaganda to win over public opinion and AI conse

I don't think they are referring to any specific country or alliance but to the catastrophic idea of a hot war between two nuclear armed countries.

I'm of the opinion that we're probably at the midpoint of what future historians will consider the preliminary period. The Non-Western axis has been turning up the heat, there's been something like 8 or 9 coups in Africa sinc

Yeah you've got to follow your passions. I reckon you could be well positioned to take advantage of an emerging market though. I'm pretty new to it all myself but I've been doing lots of reading on it the past year, and it se

Personally, I would market this and build it out for any other TTRPG system but Dungeons & Dragons. I absolutely love Dungeons & Dragons but I think the writing is on the wall that DnD Beyond is going to get the lion's share of

I really wish they'd do this everywhere. In the town I live in there are a lot of houses and shops that are just exceptionally grim to look at. Everything is dilapidated, rotting, grey and pebbledashed. I can't help but think that

How is it unhinged to post something on an active discussion site and then to refresh the page a minute or two later to see if anyone has replied? That's called having a conversation, there's nothing unhinged about it. There are n

How is anyone meant to be able to confirm or deny posts on a suprise war that is going on in real time? Surely this would mean that Facebook and X would have to have better intelligence than the actual military intelligence agencies? Even t

Complete horseshit. This isn't someone's funeral - it's a discussion forum. And even if it was a funeral, some people will crack jokes at them because that's how they cope. Do you think no-one told a joke at George Carli

A lot of services, but not all, will let you add passkeys which are tied to a password manager (e.g 1password) and not a physical device. If you've got one of those set up, you can download it on a new device and then gain access that

I haven't read the book yet, only watched the series, but reading it I can't help but think that Ian McShane as Wednesday was absolutely spot on casting. I really can't picture anyone else in the role now.

It's already like this for ICE cars in the UK. So many people buy them on PCP deals and upgrade them every 3 to 4 years. It's pretty much a meme at this point about a certain kind of person: https://youtu.be/J9n0_5
