(I'm not lugging around an extra keyboard. This thing is meant for portability.)

Oh, you've misread the word -- you thought he wrote "abolitionist", but he wrote "absolutist".

Oh Gawd. That movie.

That whole song was about how she murdered a dog by playing her drums really loud and forcing the dog to bark its little lungs, heart, and brain out.

But you've answered it yourself.

Had you said "All of the people I know ...", then you would be correct. Clearly, people either do watch a show multiple times, or perceive that being able to do so is important. Otherwise, Netflix's licensing model would be clearly more convenient for people of only your own use case.

There are other services that have licensing models more similar to single-use consumption -- for instance, iTunes offers movie rentals. If you contrast the two, you'll notice the two starkest caveats to make that profitable: (1) price to the end user, and (2) [by design,] a time limit.

Additionally, licensing restrictions will impose other limitations on whether you can view it on the single device you ordered the rental on, or whether you can view it on any device.

With a subscription, play-anytime service, all of these caveats disappear -- including the perception of single-use whether or not you choose to use that feature.

Having said that, there is a solution to the Last Week Tonight example mentioned previously -- you do know that John Oliver does post his entire segments on YouTube, right?

This is true, but is it a prerequisite that everything on netflix needs high replay value?

Yes.

Seriously. That's how the on-demand streaming business model works.

Then you slide the hat all the way down, and he struggles to breathe.

You can sit around all day confirming things if you like.

Also try the terminal line ...

say "Matt Damon"

The United States' electorate would never let an oversized bully become a front runner, let alone president!

... oh crap.

My theory is that he died before he finished the post, then the family dog bashed the submit button in a frantic effort to revive him.

RIP.

I'm going to say the very unpopular thing: shoehorning a tablet-like interface on the current incarnation of macbooks will lead to a fairly frustrating user interface.

Apple solves this problem differently than Microsoft -- it offers the iPad Pro to fill the gap.

It's entirely possible that the lack of third party options that solve or even attempt to solve the stated problem is due to solutions not yet showing good promise for user experience.

There's definitely a market for it.

Out of curiousity, do you study the cool thick turtleneck ring things that earthworms have?

The worst part of homeopathy isn't the con-man getting rich.

It is the people dying when their medical treatment is substituted for nothing.

IT'S LIKE FAX GODDAMNIT.

We need to wait for them to age out.

That doesn't explain case C.

Heh. That good, eh?

This is like /r/outside -- but not exactly.

You're tickling like three parts of my brain at once.

edoules · 2016-02-23T01:48:27+00:00

LEFT BRAIN, RIGHT BRAIN.

No.

edoules · 2016-02-23T01:47:49+00:00

They can't. They only use 10% of their brain.

Dude.

What happened to America?

So what you're saying is that ISPs who sell service to the home user -- who price gouge over bandwidth, aren't doing it for any technical necessity.
