They don't care about people using it, they might even personally do it themselves.
It's about reducing their liability, which this does just fine

Sounds pretty clear to me, no tracking if ads are removed

Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.
Reply in thread
That's the thing though - they deliberately made the product crappier after people already bought it.
Think this applies if Denuvo is included from the beginning, but it wasn't here

NASA moves a step closer to supersonic passenger flights
Reply in thread
People fly first class, people fly businees class. Some have the money.
Also, for some, the time saved is worth much more than what the ticket costs, especially in business (expensive consultants?).
why is NASA doing this with tax dollars
The resulting aircraft/technology can be sold to commercial aviation and/or be used for military purposes
something obvious
NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, so it's kinda in scope

Sync does the exact same thing.
If ads are removed, no tracking takes place.

YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
Reply in thread
lmao you're so wrong on ads being more profitable than premium, especially on a per-user basis
According to this you can expect to make around $18/1000 views. That's with 55% going to the creator and 45% to Google. Which means that Google makes around $14.5 per 1000 views.
Coincidentally, that's also rougly the price of YouTube Premium. Are you telling me that you watch a thousand videos per month?

Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops... to $48M — CEO to employee pay ratio hits 250 to 1

Won't work, can't work.
There are companies which have insane revenues but tiny profits - let's say manufacturing, where you need to pay a shitton for materials and workers, just to get a bit in return.
There are also companies where the main source of income is selling people's time, say a consulting firm like McKinsey. Their income/revenue ratio is gonna be totally different from the first example.
I'm sure there are good ways to do it but this ain't one of them.

Looks like a router to me, in which case it's probably for his phone and tv.

It's illegal if the fact that a service fee would be added wasn't shared before ordering (on the menu / by the waiter /...)

Well, it's a disorder, it's right in the name.
If people "liked" it, they wouldn't be taking meds to help them function.
I'm not hating, just think we should take things for what they are
Edit: sorry, thought we were talking about ADHD

Texas drunk drivers will now have to pay child support if they kill a parent, guardian
Reply in thread
I don't know, being in jail means they won't be able to pay for the child support.
I'd say the better option is a driving ban, with a hars punishment if broken. Making them live on the verge of poverty is IMO better as a punishment and it's better for the child / society in general

If you have stronger credit and want to leave anyway, I think it'd be dumb not to take advantage of it.

It's kinda been agreed that it's the best connector right now, with a lot of future-proofing built in (you can already see it f.e. with Thunderbolt, the same cable, massively different capabilities over ther years OR, from the power distribution side, it going all the way up to 200(ish?) watts lately
