Which is why the Moderna vaccine will be priced at just 95% of the cost of the repeat treatments and hospitalization plus the value of the time saved and pain and suffering avoidance by the patient. Say, an extra half a million. I mean, what price would you put on avoiding seeing your parent or child subjected to round after round of chemotherapy?
Hold the IP, harvest cash - by license or court, eliminate running costs. Presuming Weta has not open sourced all of their processes, they’re basically now a patent troll for anything previously developed.
Wait…they sell games, too?
people who can’t even do 13+24 without having to use a calculator
More importantly, you end up with people who don’t recognize that 13+24=87 is incorrect. Math->calculator is not about knowing the math, per se, but knowing enough to recognize when it’s wrong.
I don’t envy professors/teachers who are hacing to figure out novel ways of determining the level of mastery of a class of 30, 40, or 100 students in the era of online assistance. Because, really, we still need people who can turn out top level, accurate, well researched documentation. If we lose them, who will we train the next gen LLM on? ;-)
What the devil?
Netflix for online journalism/news
So, like, regular removals of older material and ever increasing prices and restrictions? Oh, yeah, sign me up.
Reminder - gas prices cannot be hiked by suppliers because they don’t own the gas. Petroleum products are bought and sold on commodity markets before they’re ever refined or even removed from the ground. These “futures” are bought and sold and the price at the pump is related to the current price to purchase the product from the commodity brokers, plus transportation and local markup.
There are legitimate uses for futures contracts, but much of it is just gambling and capitalistic opportunism.
Yeah, but can you do it offline/without an active internet connection - the preinstalled windows Netflix app can.
Most of the things you say are missing are installed by default, though some require you to know how to use the command line. Which reminds me…how do you install the Netflix app on Linux? I’d like to watch some shows on my new laptop while I’m on the train.
They’re wrong, of course.
You don’t have to enter a license key.
You guys are using apps?

I’m still figuring out the controls for Lemmy. How do you delete someone else’s post?

Big target. Either that or the butt wipe that was denied his Reddit username and started creating random long manned communities.
I just sort of assumed we’d all get accounts in 2-3 instances so if one goes down we can still participate elsewhere.
If I live to 100 I probably won’t work through that backlog.
Gotta save this one for Father’s Day next year.
Ahh, the Trump maneuver.
Yes and no. I have a Velodyne 15HGS sub that is hidden in the corner to the right (got that baby in a mass buy in ‘01, still going strong), and picked up a 7 speaker Velodyne satellite-style surround set on clearance for this room (edit: orig installation was in ~2007). It’s not amazing, per se (it’s no M&K, that’s for sure), but the effect in my small-ish room (15’x15’x7.5’) along with the LFE from the sub is enveloping.
Every day I realize what a good investment is was to build a screen into my unused basement room.
