It’s not JUST an American thing. People are biased against outsiders and people that are different.

People are missing the point. This was ALWAYS the plan. Get Alexa in hundreds of thousands of homes and get everyone to used to using it. Than charge money.
Even if only a quarter of the users pay, they’ll make a ton of money.
The same as 99% of other extremely wealthy parents, they don’t. The nannies and tutors raise the kids or in the case of illegitimate kids, the mothers are given hush money or fight and usually receive large child support checks.
This has been the norm since the middle ages or before. Why are so many people shocked and surprised by this?
That’s what confuses me, not that he’s doing it, he’s a narcissist piece of shit. It is every one in this thread with the surprised Pikachu face.
Humans run the complete gamut from the good to bad, smart to stupid.
There will ALWAYS be some people ( this includes women) willing to do anything for a chance at money or even to just rub elbows with the rich, powerful, famous
Ever heard of groupies? Wilt Chamberlain supposedly slept with 10k women and has how many kids.
But to answer your question absolutely.
He wanted to drain the swamp of the other guys. NOT his guys.
The purpose, is to keep it difficult enough that the “honest” person doesn’t get the idea to start doing it.
Same concept as putting a lock on your front door. It’s not to stop thieves, it’s to stop the average person from getting the idea to “just take a quick look”.
By occasional going after workarounds AND making it public news. Your average computer user thinks it’s not worth the hassle.
You missed when the web KILLED BBSs!!!
That was the end! We’re already dead!!!
That would be an ethical business, unfortunately they are becoming rare.
With a Polaroid.
And that doesn’t seem to take into account transmission losses. Even the best wireless phone chargers are maybe 70% efficient. This may hit 40% if you’re lucky. So double that figure.
They ARE contributing, in this case the correct answer is “don’t do that”…
I’m using the wrong tool in the wrong way and won’t stop!!!
Help me!!!
ROFL…
Absolutely!!!
I mean they’ll foreclose but go for it!
It’s a discount right up until something happens and they use that data against you.
Just like HR, insurance companies are not your friend.
Google is operating at a 24% net profit margin. They don’t need to get their shareholders more money…
God always gets his money!
No but they all claim their business practices were safe…
The water dilutes and carries the toxins away. Until the river catches fire…
If there’s a mine fire just close up the entrance and it’ll go out. Except it hasn’t for 60+ years.
Fracking can’t cause earthquakes, except it does and there is evidence the chemicals could actually be getting in ground water… This one is particularly interesting. Considering they claim this process is safe.
But I doubt you care about facts.
They’ve had similar pills for like 10-15 years in hospitals. They just take and transmit pictures.
