MSRP is $0.99, however, retailers can set their own price [1].

My hero. Came straight here to post this.


If anyone else is wondering, the 1k number reported comes from a source[1] not directly linked in this article.

[1]: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/netflix-d...

> "At least one thousand Netflix employees are expected to participate in a virtual walkout to protest Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos’ recent comments in support of Dave Chappelle’s latest special, The Closer, according to a current staffer who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter."

This should probably be the main article linked in this thread.

Anyways according to wikipedia Netflix has just over 12k employees, so 1k+ walkout would be 8%+ walkout which would be pretty significant.


they probably have a large patent portfolio


Who will check the fact checkers?


Certainly not the people who can’t read a scientific publication.


It's the top scientists in the world vs Sheryl from South Carolina. The research and testing these professionals do will be good for fact checking.


Aren't top scientists in Wuhan the ones who probably got us into this mess?


New Zealand does not allow nuclear-powered vessels in its waters [1][2], maybe this contributed to the initial diesel requirement.

LeechBlock NG and uBlock Origin work great on Firefox for Android.


Live for yourself and the people you love, few things matter outside of this.

Ditch things which may seem important or interesting but which in the long run are unlikely to have a significant impact on your life (e.g. reading Hacker News daily, watching the news, watching TV)

Your wife is married to you, part of the bargain is sharing both the good and the bad. I don't know what the financial split between you and your wife is, but even if it is 50-50 tell your wife you are having a rough time. Try and work out a system where she carries more of the load while you figure things out.

Seek professional help, or engage in meditation.

I wish you the best of luck.


Thank you!! I will do whatever for my wife she makes me so happy. And that is problem I feel like I need to break away from my family.. bt is it is really hard. My best friend said I got all the material items you wanted as kid but I was never loved at all.. his family took me in.. my wife family loves me so much. I know I need to break away from from family.. but I still love them idk why I wish I could stop and not care.


Companies make money on float[1], it is not surprising they would want to hold your money as long as possible.

how long until we see a tax credit for pets?


Why would the government incentive pets?


This is relevant: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/pet-project-biden...

I can see this being adopted in the future as therapy for regular patients and then for everybody.


Because their constituents want it


no reason, but politicians want votes and proportion of childless pet owners relative to general population will continue to increase


Pets can already predict the outcome of major sporting events, so they would probably be good government leaders as well.
