I don't think parent meant that we should use box office number to decide if movie is great. Just that it is a most objective "score" attached to the movie title. For instance, one can use this score as a proxy to how popular

From the page source: This is an understatement. I sent an email to the Department of Transportation at 11:00PM on Wednesday and Peter responded at 7:48AM on Thursday, which is ZERO BUSINESS HOURS later. This is the fastest response to a

I think you are wrong here. Clear majority prefers to never see a surgeon.

Also immediately thought about that episode. I think it is a good sign that the app fatigue is becoming a mainstream topic.

>Look at highly paid surgeons: the ones making the most money are the ones filling every single one of their slots. They know - bedside manners matter. If you are picking a surgeons based on this criteria, you are paying way too much for

The cars with more than 5 seats do exist. If cost is not an issue as you suggest, it is pretty feasible to have 4+ children. It is even easier if you are not aiming to have them born in a rapid succession. Older kids can ride upfront.

Are you saying that ISPs already have all this information and there is no problem for them to calculate these (checking the thread...) "unpredictable" fees?

Isn't fee based on location of where the service is provided? My ISP at the rental property doesn't care about my residential address. They only care about the address where their service is consumed. You can stop worrying abou

Somehow T-Mobile figured that out. And charge me a nice round numbers that include all their fees and taxes. They are also able to advertise their prices nationwide.

> The fact that 44% of people already in the suburbs would prefer to move somewhere with bigger houses I think you are reading it backwards. 44% suburbanites would prefer to live in communities with smaller houses.

They have 30-40 years worth of content. I agree, majority is bad. But there is still plenty of stuff to watch. Plus, rewatching some old great show often is more rewarding than consuming all this new drek.

What is the source of the Netflix (a public company) magical tech money ?

At the time they were getting close to 10-20x more than an typical board member of an S&P 500 company. The lawsuit was brought up before the stock took off.

I do not agree. Today Directors returned this much money, and headline correctly reflects this. If headline said something like “directors were paid $735M back in 2020” then it would be a spin.

They paid themselves ~$90M (priced at the time of grants) in a period of 3 years, When lawsuit was filed stock was just 3x-4x from the grant times. Seems to me you are spinning that number in the opposite direction for some reason. Here is

This is very close to what the original LoJack did in 1979. They added keypad to replace switching on lights: [LoJack] could also include the incorporation of a scheme whereby an additional step was required to activate the ignition. Prior

Do you believe that mechanical keys were a deterrent before the introduction of the immobilizers? And if they were why did they bother with immobilizers, anti-theft alarms, and GPS trackers?

Considering that Switzerland is No. 1, Sweden, Netherlands or Singapore are all above Germany, I'd guess population is not a big factor in computing this index.

What is the Flashlight app developer success? At best the app sales supported them for a year or two. By this metric a failed VC funded company also has supported its founder (plus employees) for a year or two.

It is hard to wrap ones head around something that did not happen. Since Q120 net worth of top 1% (or top 0.1%, or top 10%) did not double. In fact the growth was slower than the bottom 50%. [1] There is huge inequity, and absolute numbers

You are way too optimistic about the weight. ViewSonic p225f with 20" visible display, that reportedly was capable of 2560x1920/63Hz weighted 30.5 kgs! I am not sure with that dot pitch of 0.25mm it was worth it. [1] https:/

I agree with you. But I believe there are two ways to sell a weapons program to the public. One is covered by your baseball analogy. Yes, you want to be self-reliant and be able to manufacture critical defense systems in case of a hypotheti
