Whenever you hear the phrase "our democracy" replace it with the phrase "the liberal order" and see if anything changes.

Oh OK. I guess you're right. You defended your thesis quite well.

did you think you were the first to notice this ?

I bet you were you all excited.

But in that excitement you failed to notice that these are not actual side effects of the vax, but possible side effects of the vax that should be recorded if observed.

Subtle difference

I remember the time before Search Engines.

When Yahoo! was about wrestling.

When DMOZ had curated subject guides with great websites listed.

When related websites had Webrings linked to each other so you could explore a topic from enthusiastic hobbyists.

When flaming skull gifs were everywhere.

When people posted links to the websites they liked.

When you could chat in IRC without some admin banning your channel (though channels still had jannies - but that was for griefers).

We all thought that was the future, unfettered freedom without corporate overlords running the show.

Then the normies came.

We called it The September That Never Ended

?

People have always woken up at 3-4am, particularly after 30.

It used to be custom that people got out of bed and had tea.

You're just getting old.

They gained 500k subs.

They are saying they are going to lose customers because of the crack down on password sharing which they say is 100m subscribers and introduce advertising.

Look:

Boss Reed Hastings said Netflix was looking at launching a free ad-supported service like its rivals Disney and HBO.

Analysts say it could open a significant new revenue stream for the company, which has so far shunned advertising.

I'm not rebutting your argument but I recall two additional maxims

Content is not King

Andrew Odlyzko (2000) - AT&T Labs - Research

which advised me to build infrastructure and not make videos - my fortune via YT lost :)

and

Joel Spolsky's advice in June 2002

Smart companies try to commoditize their products’ complements.

meaning if you make infrastructure - give away the content and make it worthless

So it is interesting that Google followed this advice

Netflix streams from Amazon AWS for their service

So it is only their catalogue which is losing value over time.

I've not gone through their accounts but I expect that cost has been re-couped (I might be wrong).

As for Amazon

  • $31.16 billion in advertising revenue from sellers on its platform
  • $62.2 billion in revenue from AWS but was also expensive to run, generating $18.5 billion in contributions but still a healthy 29.7% gross margin

Except people are not leaving Netflix, they gained 500k new signups.

They forced 700k Russian users off the service.

Hence 200k net loss.

but you're not posting this as slippery slope, you're posting this as rage porn

It's from a rage porn thread on twitter and I've seen the other threads under this image have zero critical thinking and people coming at me for quoting the full text!

It says considerably more than your headline, even in just this single sentence:

Interpretation: In ambulatory patients with heart failure, a dietary intervention to reduce sodium intake did not reduce clinical events.

It means "those who have had heart failure and can still walk see no improvement in outcome by now adopting a low sodium diet"
