There’s a big difference between “heated” and “burnt” tobacco. Same as with weed vaporization vs smoking, vaporization is much healthier compared to inhaling burnt plant material.

It sure will if not fix, at least improve your overall mood, and consequently your life

Nah, it forces them to sell over the ten years, since if they wait up until the last moment, the market’s gonna get flooded, meaning they’ll have to lower prices to be competitive

If they did, it’d be the same as the “enhance” tech from the tv shows.

Blurring causes information loss, the blurrier it is, the more information is lost.

After a certain point, so much is lost that nothing’s gonna help you get it back.

The piracy community was unblocked quite soon after

They would probably have issues with publishers if you actually owned the titles.

It’d probably make them very heavily liable if for some reason Steam shut down, they had to make something unavailable for some reason, whatever.

They’re a public company, they’re required by law to share financial info.

Do you perhaps have better data though?

Farmers would disagree

What about a CDN for JS libraries?

What about YouTube embeds?

What about images from Imgur?

Why should all of this be handled by me, on my domain?

So how is this related?

He might’ve borrowed them from a library.

OpenAI could’ve trained on borrowed ebooks as well

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?

They might be allowing them to run the boxes for free, but the ISPs are saving money on bandwidth, too.

Get enough users for the ISP to care and they’ll work with you. Otherwise, you probably don’t have all that many users to begin with, so the overhead that maintaining and distributing these boxes would create wouldn’t be worth it anyway.

Yeah, fair enough I guess. Depends on her intent, which would be impossible to prove

Could be fraud, she took the money under a false premise.

Hard to say though, not a lawyer

What’s you opinion on volunteering then? Maybe people do it because it makes them feel good that they’re doing something they want to.

And they’re not getting paid to do it.

Why not do something you enjoy and get paid while you’re at it?

Have you considered that some people might actually enjoy their jobs?

I’m not saying you do but that’s fine, but you’re pretty much saying that working has to be boring and undesirable, which it absolutely doesn’t have to be.

Yes, pure html pages are so much better and nicer to use!

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.

That’s literally it though
