Netflix loses a MILLION USERS! WHOA! THAT SOUNDS BAD!
It seems we forget that Netflix has to pay for that bandwidth though. Out of those million USERS, only a third of them were paying customers.
Netflix loses 300,000 paying subscribers, but also no longer has to cover the bandwidth on 600,000 others. I doubt that completely makes up the hit on profits, but it sure will have an impact on operating costs.
I wish this wasn't as clumsy, but from a business standpoint, it's not as dire as many are making it out to be.
Quick (lack of) progress update: got the electric motor ready to go in but first I have to fix the surface rust on the firewall.
It was mentioned in the car's last safety inspection so I better fix it.
Just mildly out of money so I can't afford paint at this instant. 😬
Gotta be patient for a while.
I miiiight have picked the wrong cost of living crisis to start an EV conversion! #costofliving#money
The fact my deposit is being held and I am probably going to be charged overdraft fees for the two days I am waiting for the deposit to clear makes me want to die.
I am currently thinking about learning new programming language ecosystems and skills.
My current thoughts about #php - can one earn decent money with #php nowadays?
What does the php community say? What learning resources should I check out (for those unaware: I am a professional Rust dev and have >10 years experience in programming - no need for a beginner tutorial).
@musicmatze You don't typically make money with PHP itself. It's a tool. What you make money from is helping people with problems AND money solve that problem. Some of those are generic website problems, things that use PHP frameworks, modules, etc.. I've always found the real paying gigs haven't got a care what tools you use, so long as you solve the problem. Go find non-tech people and find what their problems are. Or, you can be another PHP code monkey for hire. Also works. #PHP#money
Well here I am, wide awake after barely 4 hrs of sleep. Sitting on the sofa, cat laying next to me....I guess as my financial situation worsens, sleep will be like this more often 😪 #problems#money#mentalhealth#jobless
The #transaction is the first known instance of #money flowing from Crow to the #SupremeCourt justice. The sale netted the #GOP#megadonor two vacant lots & the house where Thomas’ #mother was living (& still is).
🆕 blog! “Who can tell you what to do with your money?”
There's an incredibly distressing story in the BBC about a vulnerable elderly man who was conned out of his life savings. Fraud victim gets surprise £153,000 refund despite rules BBC News In the story, the heartless bank refused to refund the fraud victim due to an absurd technicality - the money was sent to…
The amount of people who believe #algorithms are run by #God is more than people who believe #politics is run by God. All are delusional. Why do so many #worship a God of #predation?
Those who believe in no higher #power but self are fewer but more #deviant.
THE WEST is brainwashed. I remember #Rumsfeld laughing about this outcome when testing models at #darpanet in 1980. The fall of #civilization isn't funny. He intended only those he chose to survive. They now have all the #money & #power.
From Today's Edition:
KellyAnne Conway sold her political consulting business to a firm affiliated with Leonard Leo when Conway was advising Trump on Supreme Court nominees. Why does this matter? Because Leonard Leo is the head of the #FederalistSociety and was lobbying Conway about @SupremeCourt Appointments while Conway was in turn lobbying Trump about those same appointments. In other words, the appearance that #money changed hands to #influence the selection of Supreme Court #justices is palpable. See Press Release of U.S. Senator Dick Durbin:
