Just an FYI

Law enforcement is basically allowed to lie to you

Most of those claims were BS but you have to call their bluff to find out.

He didn't have to answer questions or give them passwords, and they will always tell you that you have to

Edit: "allowed to" as in there's no consequences because of how difficult it is to prosecute them. It's intentionally ignored

My least favorite part of this site is all political posts that get upvoted like crazy when they have nothing to do with technology or really anything in the field

The drop in capacity, output, and cost are threefold

1. Our survival is not at stake

2. No one trusts the economy or current administration to invest in it

3. The complete destruction in national identity, social cohesion, and any call whatsoever to a higher power.

This leads to the natural outcomes of

1. Complacency and coasting

2. High risk for little perceivable gain

3. A society that doesn't believe what we have is even worth protecting

The author thinks additional regulations on defense contractors is going to improve things and this is how I know they don't know what they are talking about

I think it's ok to have different movie franchises that have different strengths

From my perspective it's the realism, seriousness, and lack of everything the franchise did for like 40 years that has successfully killed the fun

I also love Bourne movies, and I don't need them to be the same

It's actually just that Barbara Broccoli hates the main character and ever since she took over as Executive Producer they've been on a mission to destroy the character

But they have no new ideas, and they only make something that feels vaguely like what it was

Bond as a concept is fine, the execution has been trash for over a decade now

Stop using Java just let it die for the love of all that is holy

The effect is cool but I must be the only person on this website that doesn't see a future for it

Seems very niche, with massive data size restrictions, making it difficult to broadcast or stream on existing infrastructure.

But even if you solved the infrastructure problem, it feels like a gimmick that would be uninteresting pretty quickly.

Sporting events maybe benefit a bit by being able to find the right angle for any shot, but honestly they will probably just find the best angle and post that video as a clip

I like how there's a list of 10 things that could ruin his prediction and basically all of them happened

It's amazing that he got so much right including how he's wrong

Thank you sir

If you've been paying attention to the industry you'd know we're going to have ads on the paid tier also

- Netflix

- Hulu

- Prime (coming)

This is a weak argument because YouTube isn't a public street it's a private business

You aren't forced to use it, it is a choice

And this application (FreeTube) is for the sole purpose of circumventing their (YouTube) monetization for the sake of convenience

I don't have a dog in the fight and I'm certainly not a fan of YouTube or Google, but you can't argue it's somehow ok just because you dislike ads or lack of privacy on a "free" video streaming website

YouTube makes money by spying on you and serving you ads

So yeah it's theft

Oh boy I can't wait to use the application that surely won't be nonfunctional in like 3 days

Oh yeah I remember when Microsoft lost its antitrust trial and we all only use Internet Explorer and Windows now

RIP in peace Apple and Linux

Fixed income and inflation do be like that tho

Good thing for HBO there's no way someone can buy a VPN and watch their content from outside those regions

There is another option available for that I've moved towards. You can obviously purchase content on a digital library. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Play are my 3 favorite (in no particular order) since a lot of the content syncs with the new-ish Movies Anywhere digital locker. If Movies Anywhere includes your show or movie then it syncs across all your accounts and is available everywhere. So if Google decides to stop selling movies, you can easily just switch over to Amazon, or whatever, without losing your content that you purchased.

Basically, I buy good movies and shows that I actually enjoy rather than subscribing to crappy services that rotate through a dozen or so good movies and a mountain of complete crap. I also don't have to watch commercials, and I can watch my movies on my phone or through a chromecast/fire tv/roku whenever and wherever (as long as I have internet). Also, most of these platforms allow you to download to a mobile/tablet device for streaming on a flight or train or whatever.

This can get expensive, of course, doesn't work for live events and you're still relying on all these systems staying active, but I don't like the societal move away from ownership and towards renting. If I know I love Back to the Future, why do I need to pay Netflix/HBO/cable/etc subscription so that I can hope that they add it to their library on the days that I feel interested in watching it again.

Game of Thrones Season 8 is $27 on Google Play. And if it takes you more than a month to get around to watching it, or if you ever want to watch it again ever, it won't cost you more than that. I think that's pretty nice

This is one of those articles where a bunch of people will find solace in the fact that they are not alone, despite not actually coming away with a plan to correct it. There's no real advice in here worth taking that isn't already pretty obvious to anyone that can step back from their circumstances for a moment, and this sort of information is offered in thousands of similar articles.

I can obviously relate to the author regarding a deteriorating work-life balance, and a lot of us have become burnt out or at least experienced intense stress at work. Nothing in this piece makes me believe that she has fixed the problem, and it's not healthy to continue until you break, dropping everything and going on a "walkabout" to some distant place for awhile to pretend like you've solved a problem.

I found it telling that she claims to be a values-oriented person, and yet also a self-proclaimed atheist. People like her should actually try finding themselves again through religion. I'm not even suggesting a specific religion. You don't have to be a believer to gain value by setting aside time to reflect on your life, values, relationships, and why you are here. It also helps to associate yourself with other people that are searching for answers to these things. The lack of religion in people's life is a big contributor to the feeling of a lack of purpose and it allows you to become increasingly unbalanced in life as you prioritize work and material things over what's really important.
