I sense Netflix worries about the algorithms used by aggregators like Apple TV. It seems like their strategy is mostly quantity over quality, way too much low-value one-season-and-done series to try to keep people hooked.

The platform fees and the insane menu price markups that restaurants apply for delivery app orders have made it impractical to use Uber Eats & DoorDash for a couple years now IMO. I only ever consider using them when offered at least 50

The whole point of the article is basically: > EVs are still in their relative infancy as mainstream vehicles, so it’s really not surprising that manufacturers, by and large, are still working out the kinks. That said, we are seeing sign

> Less than twenty percent of unpaid medical collections remain on consumer credit reports for longer than four years. This is pretty interesting. I wonder what other types of collections are 'forgotten' well before their allow

I think that's a reasonable response. At the same time, if it would have taken several more months to install a flame diverter / metal plating below the launch pad, would that be worth it, or negate the progress made by gathering

Whatever you think about Elon, the push for innovation with Spacex has been admirable. I've been more than a little disappointed with all the "they tried but it blew up" headlines that came in the days following the test flig

Also sad to see they are abandoning their drone project, Pixy. It was an interesting new direction for them.

Yeah, same here. It turns out that data-driven, 'viral-focused'[1] TV content is just not enough to justify a price increase over the media giants that have huge back catalogs to depend on. They are a content company trying to beh

You missed the window to lock in the older interest rate (7.12% APY) for six months, but it is widely expected that the May rate change will increase the rate even higher. You can still purchase I-Bonds, with the understanding that the May

Did anyone honestly not expect Elon to make significant changes, including personnel? I love Twitter but you have to imagine the pivot that he wants will involve restructuring

"You have the flexibility to live and work in 170 countries for up to 90 days a year in each location" I wonder how much of a headache this creates for taxes. One of the biggest factors that keeps me from venturing abroad (and my

That's certainly a fair interpretation of the regulation - but if one could argue that social media is one's 'job', I would also consider posts on their usual accounts as commercial content. I guess the point is the FAA

If you do anything with this drone that is commercial or non-private in nature, you still need a Part 107 certificate from the FAA to fly it. I expect that would include many influencers who wouldn't otherwise be flying drones at all.

Have you tried talking to a sales rep from Twilio or one of the other providers? Sometimes they can figure out a discount or credit to keep you. Usually they will at least try.

Many airlines have arrangements where banks purchase the planes outright then lease them back in a long-term deal. Helps with airlines finances.

This is exactly how I feel as well. I just wanted a digital locker that I don't have to worry about. Now these new features on top of everything just feel like bloat to justify the higher price compared to similar services. I did not r

I would bet we'll see a version with an integrated SIM card, hopping on the IoT-anywhere train. Twilio was a big first mover with their Twilio mobile service, and I can see people deploying rPi's and the like to more out-of-home a
