To be fair, some of this is because of how the French government operates. This in the culture that invented the word "bureaucracy." Many normal, profit-driven businesses could probably maintain such a building without so many si

Yup. Their prices are just too high for occasional content. It's simpler and cheap to just pay directly through Amazon Video. Unless Netflix has three or four shows that you can't miss, it's just too expensive.

Sorry to be obtuse here, but does "killed it" mean that she brought in great revenues or did it mean that she sent it headed to oblivion? Slang can be kind of dangerous sometimes.

I believe he borrowed a big chunk of the cash. So he owes these folks something for funding it. It might be kind of limited but he can't just treat it like his own fiefdom.

Note: the incarceration rates were much higher in the past and that's the basis of many of these claims. What you're seeing now is the political backlash from those rates. Many crimes aren't prosecuted and the cops often don&

I really enjoyed using his first textbook. He's got a nice, light touch.

Why does Disney have an "ill-gotten" monopoly? The people who worked for the company created something. Why shouldn't they get to control how it's used. Do you feel like you should have control over what you create? Why

I found this needlessly nihilistic. The public wasn't suckered by Hsieh's generation. Enough of us found shopping for shoes at Zappos to be nice enough that we kept doing it. It was an improvement. A bigger problem is when journal

Oh, I'm sure he has some influence in things, but isn't this about as useful as someone paying the NFL to make Bud Light the official beer of football? When the other side of the deal wants yuan, yen or euros, you're not goin

Well, not exactly. The good thing is that automated, centrally booked autonomous systems can run pretty good car pools. Sure human drivers can do this but it's just not as practical. Not at all. So it's possible that those 1000 pe

Uh, it's not about the passing lane on the road. It's about the station. The passing happens at the stations. The car gets out of the way while people load and unload. That's the ideal design. Sharing a train or bus just forc

Trains tracks tend to be designed so that the trains must stop at each station, something that can add plenty of time to a trip. Ideally, the smaller cars/scooters/whatever can load and unload out of the main pathway making it pos

Some people will reflexively mod down anything that's pro-artist or pro-writer. They continue to embrace the idea that somehow piracy is somehow a good thing when it's pretty easy to see how it hurts.

The headline seems inaccurate. It first says that there's no bias. Then it says that it is biased toward women. Which is it?

I like improvements, but I like speed and light demands for RAM or computation even more.

Boston used to have a viable computer industry but it's all largely faded away with the minicomputers. Oh well. They've got the drug business now.

Announcing layoffs can be good for employees. Let's say you're going to shut down some project-- something that every company must do, but big companies must do all of the time. If you do quietly without announcing any big shift,

It seems strange to me that a number designed to measure risk has nothing to do with it. If this were really true, a smart bank would come along with their own score and undercut it. They have many years and many millions of data points tha

This doesn't help the "poor"-- it helps those with bad credit scores. There are some people in both camps, but there are many who are poor who pay their debts on time.

The games department at the NYT is extremely lucrative. They get to charge extra for it and the customers love it enough to pay for it. My favorite job there is the person who "edits" Wordle. That's right. There's someon
