@tedsbestblogs@Holden114 Blockbuster filed for chapter 11 in 2010, where video store revenues already dropped by 40% from their peak. After BB’s bankruptcy, consumers continued to prefer to use Netflix instead of using other video stores, as illustrated by the chart and NFLX revenues
@tedsbestblogs@Holden114 Good for your small town but that’s an irrelevant anecdote and the majority of Americans disagree with you.

@tedsbestblogs@Holden114 Why did no other chain decide to open video stores? Why did the same thing happened to other video stores in countries where Blockbuster was irrelevant?
@SModjesky@JoshSulliv72472@peterjhasson If they build it in China it’ll come through Canada, Europe or any other country. Unless you want to close borders there is not much you can do. The genie is out of the bottle.
How long was any nation able to block a technological innovation? Now imagine if it goes through web
@StarterScript@AaronGuhreen@the_transit_guy I think both of you are wrong. She’s talking about both super egregious cases of dynamic pricing (facial recognition that would increase the price specifically for you) and about super benign cases. She’s being intentionally unclear to generate support and create a wedge
@JoshSulliv72472@peterjhasson Because of the US doesn’t build it then China will. The result will be the same (“humans replaced and jobs taken”) except that you’ll have no control over it + won’t have as many high-paying jobs of people working in AI
@gutta456@faulaJJJ@tiredstemboy C’est sûr que c’est possible de trouver des exemples anecdotiques, mais ce serait faux de dire que les Caribéens, en tant que groupe, ont eu un impact important sur le Québec dans les années 60.
@stacy_tennsy@mitchgarber@PaulPlamondon@mcgillu@UniofOxford@lunduniversity The truth is that there will always be a good reason to justify why right now is not the right time. Trump will be gone in 4 years but the independence project is for eternity. Denying its importance for short term considerations is really myopic.
@Andy_Crain@Noahpinion How well was the Dutch culture transmitted to the 2nd gen? Was it an element of pride or an element of shame to speak Dutch for the 2nd gen?
Don���t know about your specific situation but many people didn’t teach their language to the 2nd gen due to discrimination. Diff today
@NealGardner_ How often does that work for huge clubs tho? Every promising youngster (even ones who ultimately had success) failed at Barca and left after 1-2 seasons, usually with minimal minutes played.
