You literally could buy mercedes for price which could have 2 times difference based on location.


As i understand they couldn't just charge less or change your plan because of bureacracy and all legal things. What they can do is give free month to all who was affected by this change. Or you could cancel your subscription if you can't live without 4k


"We acknowledge that this decision impacts the quality that our customers have come to expect. We appreciate your patience as we all face these trying times together, and we will explore additional options to make sure our customers are treated fairly and are fully satisfied with our service."

That's basically all they had to say. Something to the effect of "This sucks but it's necessary and needed to be done quickly. We'll try to make it up to you." Then figure out whether to refund people on the higher plans or give them a free month or credit on their account or something.


I do almost everything like you said. But my kid wakes up at 700, and we could play or read chapter from a book for 30 minutes when my wife working on breakfast. When i came back from work at 1900 i'll either play with wife/kid in the yard, or i could read books/draw/play with kid, while my wife working on dinner, or we switch here (i'm cooking, she playing).

And my daughter has 20 minutes screen time a day. She choose on what to spend it between game on mobile, game on PC or cartoons on TV.


> The role is closer to a bodyguard or the secret service, you protect from harm and provide context when appropriate, but leave enough room to explore without your biases.

I and my wife chose to be "support" in a gaming style. So far so good.


Because usually Gmail is the place through which we can restore any other account.


Google for people getting blocked by Google ;) And there is nothing you can do.


Ain't AC-130 Spectre is exactly for that?


They're too vulnerable to fly during the day because they're so big and fly so low.


> This fingerpointing points to one of the core problems of the ad industry: They created a system where nobody knows who's responsible for anything, so malware and fraud has an easy time.

They know.


Because we can't close corporations for a rules violation.


I mean we could


Kind of like how we could implement the death penalty for marijuana possession?


It's not like there aren't countries where that exist.


Right, but should we? Probably not. That’s what I’m getting at.


If we really cared about stopping marijuana possession, a death penalty that was objectively and consistently applied would probably work very well.


Arguments by analogy are not worth anybody's time.


Arguments by analogy are an excellent way to compose an argument. Socrates built entire ethical systems using analogy.


You only have to look at what we have above, a changing of the subject from corporate punishment to...execution for marijuana possession. That is bad community'ing.

As an aside, I've got some bad news about how Socrates' method worked out for him.

> I mean we could

The post I was replying to talked about “closing” a corporation for a rule violation. Closing a company is akin to “killing” it, not “punishing” it. I think the analogy stands.


It worked out really well for him. You've heard of him thousands of years later. Thousands of years from now persons will continue to discuss him and you and all of us'll likely be forgotten.


We can, we just chose not to.


We chose not to because it’s a bad idea. That’s what I’m getting at here. “Killing” a company for a rules violation is also probably a bad idea.


Killing a company for repeated rules violations is perfectly okay with me though.


Ever noticed how con-men in nice suit is much more convincing than the one in tracking suit?


Worldwide. But then let's account that it's only for people who can install that game, where in recomended its 6Gb Video memory
