TVs did not become cheap at all. The intermediate technology which is LCD, that became cheap. that’s like saying mechanical hard drives became cheap. But who’s buying.

Also article uses 50” as a benchmark. Consumer moves towards larger sizes and OLED.


Apple devices having advertising and spyware - that’s, you know, not true. You would stretch that tv has it, but that’s part of optional tv app.

75% it’s 3/4, and plural “we have let go” means 6 people was let go. Or three if that’s a royal “we”.

It says 75% of the engineer team. There might be other roles not affected.

What does it mean - adjacent area code? They can’t play anymore?

It means they nearly won but sadly didn't. So close yet soo far away.

In the Dutch postcode lottery, they draw a random postcode (roughly a street) and everyone that lives there and has a ticket wins. The wider area code (village level) win smaller prizes.

Seems a clever marketing tactic to rope in more people.

How do you confirm address? ‘I moved home to my parents last week’ etc.


You have to buy a ticket - presumably you have to commit to an address somehow at that point, so people can only buy for one postcode even if they're lying. Unless there's a skewed outcome that shouldn't really matter. (And if there is a skewed outcome...the people who'd bought the winning postcode and didn't have a house on that street would be under heavy scrutiny!)

Apparently, at least in NL, you can buy for different postcodes even though most do not.

No Flea Soup for You!

Neither of those is possible. People are pacified, government is bought and democratic structure is a career.


Jetbrains+refactoring - don’t get your hopes up. In Android Studio refactoring was broken for 5+ years and ticket is one of most voted. And nothing happened.


How can you post those emails and make a joke out of them - they have this footer that clearly states that if you are not a recipient you must delete the email immediately. Whole business world have this footer for a reason, for situations like this, so you can be sure your emails will not go public.


Although in principle I agree with the sentiment, sometimes for difficult illnesses we need to accept the side effects of the cure.
