Another reason to just get a hotel room.

But why? People not sleeping translates to negative profit and value to the company

Why would that be true?

That's not true. That's the point. It is the same thing as what Reed Hastings is saying. He thinks he is saying some deep insightful thing, and it's ridiculous. It's 200% wrong.

You all seem extremely confused about this statement. Go see it in context lol.

Why do they even want you watching? Once the fee is paid isn’t it better you don’t watch kind of like the gym?

They need to keep you watching to a certain extent, otherwise you'd eventually question why you're subscribed in the first place.

With passive investment everyone is buying crap all the time because they have no ability to discern what is or isn’t crap and the base assumption is 95% of stocks are losers but the other 5% win big

If everyone is buying crap all the time, how do businesses fail? Wouldn’t they be able to succeed by just issuing more shares?

A lot of them do and have. Companies really only fail when lenders stop lending.

X is bad it always reverts to low effort content and then bombards you with constant racisms and sexism. There are Jems but you are constantly swimming in a river of garbage

You get more of what you engage with. If you respond to ragebait--even to express your disgust--the algorithm assumes you want more ragebait.

When I made a new X account a while back it immediately started showing me awful videos of people getting killed etc. This was without me engaging in anyway, just what came with a fresh account. So yes, maybe it gets worse if I engage, but the site seemed primed to be awful.

The quality has taken a sharp decline in the last iteration


Seems like a good recipe for a long form post.


They extended a 10 year warranty on the iccu. Even though there is no fix that’s probably good enough


It’s true unused it wasted but unfortunately what it’s used for is decided by corporate flavor of the month so garbage one drive, teams and Gemini builds eat all the ram that would be better used by other applications people actually like


In this case it’s just SPS. It became a massive school district with expected bloat. As a result lots of money went to waste programs like edutainment apps and social justice programs. Kids with wealth parents opted out and that made funding problems worse because without stable kids to average out the pool the student body became more resource intensive which drove the typical urban failing school cycle.
