So who handles my money when Google abandon this project in 6 months?

They haven't had the opportunity to yet.

Now when you type "how do I claim unemployment" in google your account will go into automatic review.

That, and they can advertise to you more expensive items on payday and cheap items towards the end of a pay period when you have less money...

  oh wait, are we talking about benefit to the consumer, not benefit to google... Benefit to consumer, that's funny.

It will be after Amazon takes all their grocery money.

Now would be the time to move away from robinhood before they collapse from this practice. Innocent people using this service are going to crash and burn alongside those abusing the service.

You're right Dallas!

Debbie did that!

No, it certainly doesn't, at least not in any short-term capacity. Long term though, if you work nose to the grindstone every day, every week, will you eventually burn out? Quite likely.

Unhappy employees eventually quit and move on, and then the company needs to hire fresh again and train fresh faces... it might still work in the companies favour to force work non-stop, even with higher turnover, but it's certainly not in the employee's favour. There is certainly a needed amount of slack in a human's day for their long term well-being.

Are you on the clock right now posting to Slashdot?

I understand the point, but it's still a scary thought. For human well-being a certain amount of slack is needed. Obviously people who abuse the slack and slack too much are not good for a business, but there should be a certain amount of slack. Being watched every moment people will think they can't have a "humane" level of slack.

Star Wars isn't that bad, it's just what Star Wars always was: a kids film. You've grown up and the magic is gone. It's also kinda like the Olympics, the Olympics would be no big deal if they held them every year... Star Wars is killing itself by making too many films too quickly... there is a lot of fatigue.

You're right, they can't go on forever like that, although, it is worth pointing out Amazon. For a long-long time Amazon was losing huge amounts of money doing the equivalent of what Netflix is doing, investing in infrastructure. Eventually Amazon became not only profitable, but massively so. Many people kept saying Amazon could never be profitable, but look at them now. Took a long time to break even but they're swimming in money now.

Now, it might be harder for Netflix. Amazon's warehouses and distribution centers... they're long term assets. Maybe films and serials are too for Netflix, but the problem with most shows is, they lose their buzz after a few years and are of much less value. Not every show can be "Seinfeld", "Friends", or "Star Wars" and still be popular decades later. That's the less than 1%er of shows.

So, all that money they spend building "infrastructure", much of it has a very short life (of reasonable value). They have a much harder time to become profitable than Amazon. Cities rarely disappear over a decade, so distribution centres are guaranteed to stay useful. Netflix needs to hit the ball out of the park to guarantee their "infrastructure" stays profitable.

Netflix, could become profitable one day, but it's a much harder job for them. More likely they'll be bought out by a major network or Hollywood studio before they totally crash and burn.

I used to work 4 ten hour days... and technically that's not the same thing, because I still worked 40 hours... but I can attest to having that extra day off, I was way more productive and focused to work on the days that I was in the office-even though the days were longer. (actually, I think the longer days actually helped me, I get more productive the more hours into the day I am, it takes me a while to fully find my focus)

I don't need shorter hours per week, I just need fewer days per week. I think 3 13 hour days would be a sweet spot for my productivity and happiness. (but everyone is different)

Yeah, a list of all the most unreliable European brands mixed with a list of all the most unreliable American brands. The new Fiat group is a verifiable whos who of all the world's worst brands.

Is butthole cancer the technical term?

The thing about stool analysis is that they need to know to analyse the stool in the first place. (unless pooping in a bag becomes a standard step for your annual physical). Having tools to look for problems is great, but they need to know when to use them, or use them regularly.

Can't speak for OP, but for me EA lost my business for all time when they started putting DRM in software that snooped through people's efile tax documents and disabled ReadWrite CD-ROMs from working.

I can't wait for the scene where he gets inspiration for inventing the internet whilst single-handedly saving a whale caught in a fisherman's net.
