Those have been researched and tested for decades and the tech still hasn't caught on. They just don't put out enough power to be useful for much more than a clock circuit (not even enough to power a full watch, just keep the time).
I have serious doubts they're going to suddenly become viable anytime soon.
Any useful energy production from nuclear is basically just making steam to run turbines. Same with coal but you know.
Actually not a bad idea. Flood the department with bullshit resumes.
I like this idea
Ew, I'd rather not fuck Elon. He's not my type.
Fuck. I can't out-stupid this guy. I won't win.
Indeed. I have absolutely no way of knowing anything for certain.
I'm just screaming into the void from this hellscape we call Earth.
Thank you for leaving the explanation in, I'm not versed in what horrors await the US populous with project 2025 for two main reasons:
So this fills in a gap for me, and at the same time makes me sad and angry about how many people voted for this garbage.
Either way, I appreciate you. Have a good day.
I'd bet that channel "members" don't get ads for that channel regardless of premium status.
IMO, Google made premium, almost nobody bought it. So they went after adblockers, hoping that people would get premium to get rid of the ads. People most just Adblock harder.
While this is happening, one exec is peering over the fence at twitch. Where they only way to get away from ads without a pretty good Adblock, is to subscribe to the individual creator.
So they make "memberships" to channels a thing.
Almost nobody buys that either. So they go... What if, even if someone is premium, we give them ads, unless they're a channel member.
Genius.
Paying to block ads per creator/channel/whatever, is a special level of bullshit that twitch has always had.
The system is working as expected. The companies are trying to find the best way to extract the most value from you using their platform.
I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.
Buckle up, because they're doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It's already begun. There's a "new" Outlook. FML.
That's certainly a possibility.
I would argue that we're both right depending on what the widget is.
(Assuming the price is changed to be proportional and appropriate for the product) Something like a grocery item is more prone to my thought, and something that has generational differences, such as a laptop or something, will likely follow your theory more closely.
I think a lot of this will still be tied to price elasticity. If the price is very elastic then the former system would be more likely. Drop the price so you can push more units (and overall, profit goes up), where things that are far less elastic, say, an iPhone, would tend to simply continue to increase like the latter system you describe.
At the end of the day, both are horrid, terrible, and very very common. So I'll finish by saying: no matter what happens, people are going to be getting massively fucked, and corporations will post record profits yet again.
Fuck corporations.
Me? I'm basically driven snow over here. Plenty of people who live here aren't though. I like those people. They're different. I like different.
Oh, they'll go down.... But it won't be nearly as much as it went up to cover the tariff.
What I'm thinking is, let's say a widget is $100, tariffs go in at, say 5%. So it should cost $105, but the price increases to $110. People cry bloody murder, but ultimately they "need" the widget so they buy it. Tariffs go away, yay, the price is dropped, it's now $107.99
that's what I'm thinking.
I love it.
OP, I hope you know that's his Xbox now. If you wanna keep playing Xbox stuff, you'll have to buy a new Xbox to play on, so George can keep his bed.
