Do they mean 1.3 Million subscribers dropped Disney+ ?

If that's what they meant, english would actually let them say that.

Kids, remember, Google is an advertising company.

Who is Hannity?

• Housepainter.
• He attended but did not graduate from:
  • • Sacred Heart Seminary
  • • St. Pius Seminary
  • • New York University
  • • Adelphi University
• 1989 Volunteered as a DJ at KCSB, Santa Barbara, was fired, show dismissed.
• 1990'ish - got another job at WVNN, Alabama
• proceeded to talk on the radio ...

Why does this matter? - because it shows that Hannity doesn't matter. Any more than the 12 of us in this thread. - He is alive and has a mouth, are his accomplishments and skills, Yet his thoughts and opinions are played across the loudspeakers of the camp.

For more thinking about this issue for software/hardware makers a good read is "Enchanted Objects" by David Rose.

iirc. He says we're in a 'Glass Rectangle' phase, where makers are stuck on screens, Like Xhibit in Pimp my ride - we put 22 screens in your car. They know how to "screen" and they use it the solution to all problems. It's like an infatuation, where you just can't see another way. There are entire sciences of Human Machine Interaction that explain why these designs are messed up, and the designers are aware, and have chosen otherwise.

2016 Actor Antov Yelkin who played Checkov is killed by his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, pinning him to his mailbox and fence. Because it didn't have a gearshift. It has a thing that looks like a shift but is a joystick.

This exemplifies Fox - they provided a lengthy article, and a 3 person video with interviews, and yet the listener/reader knows no more about what actually happened than before they began. Its well produced hearsay.

"Trump wants postal service to block mail in ballots for states that don't suck up to his rules"

Same reality, highlighting the insanity of the actor.

The category Prince points to as the cause contradicts him. Agentic is tiny. What actually fills the AI bucket is training scrapers, like GPTBot and ClaudeBot, pulling text to build models, which have been climbing steadily and predate his announcement. He blamed a friendly, fast-growing sliver of agents fetching pages for people and swapped in unfriendly bulk (mass scraping for training). Why? We can guess, but that is exactly the traffic his pay-to-crawl product exists to bill.

It’s a sales pitch.

And it’s based on a lie.

Equity.

In total, at the close of last year, SEC documents show that exactly 65 percent of Spotify was owned by just six parties: the firm’s co- founders, Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon (30.6 percent of ordinary shares between them); Tencent Holdings Ltd. (9.1 percent); and a run of three asset-management specialists: Baillie Gifford (11.8 percent), Morgan Stanley (7.3 percent), and T.Rowe Price Associates (6.2 percent). These three investment powerhouses owned more than 25 percent of Spotify between them — a fact worth remembering next time there’s an argument about whose interests Spotify is acting in when it makes controversial moves (for example, SPOT’s ongoing legal appeal against a royalty pay rise for songwriters in the United States).

Furthermore, according to MBW estimates, which my sources suggest are still solid, two major record companies — Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group — continue to jointly own between six percent and seven percent of Spotify (Sony around 2.35 percent and Universal around 3.5). With Sony and UMG added into the mix, then, the names mentioned here comfortably own more than 70 percent of Spotify.

I respectfully, and fully disagree with you.

just some critical thinking notes.

The title says: "Findings Cast Doubt..." One might expect that the core of the essay will be .... findings. One might expect that as with most commonly taught English writing practices, the first paragraph would both outline the point, and give a brief summary of the point.

Seven, eight paragraphs in, the 'Findings' are still being teased.

This type of article ... accurate or not, is working through a 'Palm reader' technique, where they build up a series of 'connections with the subject', a long line of 'Yeses' then they slowly begin to introduce _their points. The technique is able to slip past some percent of critical thinking, because the person has been led down a path of agreements.

Again accurate or not, it couches the 'Findings' in a sea of 'everyone knows', 'modern scholars agree' , 'doubts have existed from the beginning'. These are not facts, they are well worded disparaging digs, which contextualize the subject to their bias.

Technically speaking its a 'plausible'. Practically speaking it's a hard no.

It's perfectly possible for tech folk to create a version of android for any iPhone. Apple has locked the hardware so that that can't happen.

As others have said, you can sell the iPhone and get a nice Android.

why wouldn't that be the purpose of cloudflare? the system is designed to do what it eventually does. Not what we are told, hope, or dream.

cloudflare in its service, provides a clean, efficient way, to centralize, a decentralized independent internet. Giving whoever holds the keys to cloudflare control over those resources, for whatever purpose. Ban's ? Instant. Shadow ban, easy. Hoax (redirecting traffic) simple. The idea that 'but they're not supposed to' is childish.

The Hatch Act Explained

The Hatch Act is a U.S. federal law that was enacted in 1939 to restrict political activities of federal employees, as well as certain state and local government employees, and those working in federally funded programs. The main goal of the act is to maintain a federal workforce that is impartial and free from political pressure.

Key Provisions of the Hatch Act

Prohibitions on Political Activities Federal employees are prohibited from running for office in partisan elections, engaging in political campaigning while on duty, or using their official positions to influence elections.

Permitted Activities Employees can participate in political activities when off duty and not wearing their official uniforms. They may also express personal opinions on political issues or candidates.

Impact and Enforcement

The Hatch Act is enforced by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), which can investigate violations and recommend disciplinary actions. Violating the Hatch Act can result in consequences ranging from reprimands to removal from federal employment.

Importance

The act aims to ensure that government decisions are based on merit rather than political affiliation, promoting a civil service that is dedicated to serving the public rather than political interests.___
