Definitely more than I would have anticipated; impressive

As someone who has never been super-impressed with the Zoom experience, I'm impressed.

Also, what is their moat exactly?

That's what the "Freedom Dividend" branding is all about!

I hear/see why business do it, but I think this quote from the councilman sponsoring the bill is the right take: “In the end, I think the need for equity outweighs the efficiency gains of a cashless business model. Human rights takes precedence over efficiency gains.”

I think the general theory is that if we allow them to continue getting bigger and swallowing up all potential competitors, we’re basically saying these four or five companies will run everything, forever.

Cool idea! Seems like there might be some big blind spots though? For example, when I search for "Data", the only thing that comes up is "Database Administrators", no "data analyst", "data scientist", etc.

Guys it's definitely just a joke!

Honestly haven't heard of any of those potential unicorns (except Zola), but I guess that is sort of the point!

Apologies - I just updated now to be more in line with what you suggested last time.

EDIT: the original post and the title here are now the same

Ah, noted. Will keep that in mind in the future

Oh sorry, should have been more clear: the analysis of "Most Expensive" and "Least Expensive" cities was limited to cities with populations over 500K. But for the main analysis we scraped by zip code.

Yep! We scraped on both weekends and weekdays, and also limited our analysis to "Adult" tickets for "Standard" class. Typically the special Tuesday tickets (they are often on Tuesdays) will have a different designation.

Possible we didn't catch everything, but in aggregate it should be a reasonable estimation.

Honestly planned to but was character-limited

Yep! Just those 35. Main reason being that it’s actually a pretty manual effort to assign theaters to cities, because there could be a bunch of different “cities”, as Fandango classifies them, that are all really the same city - like for Miami as an example, you can have Miami and Coral Gables and Miami Beach, which you’d really want to classify all as Miami.

Long story short, didn’t want to go to that process for too many more cities haha.

Sad, was hoping the story would have a solution for users lol.

I think this context is important:

"To some extent, Amazon may already have support, albeit with reservations. A recent poll showed that 60 percent of registered Queens voters were in favor of Amazon moving into their borough, although 78 percent thought that New York City should be more involved in the process."

While there has obviously been far more vocal anti-Amazon outrage than shows of support, it does seem like most New Yorkers see it as a good thing. But nobody is going to go out there and protest for Amazon.

Agreed we're only looking at the top 200! Tried to be upfront about that :)

Indeed, Mac did certainly see an increase in streams after his death. It just wasn't of the same magnitude: https://infogram.com/xxx-mac-miller-comparision-1hxr4zlxzp85...

(and again, note that this is only counts streams for songs that were in the Global Top 200 for a given day)
