How does this tighten the lock in?

Those go to the same place for me

>there's a difference between "www.example.com" and "example.com"

Can you link to a site where these two are different?

>Tesla suck around and made electric cars cool and economically viable while the industry had it's backs turned

This isn't really accurate. Nissan and GM both had electric cars 20 years ago. And Tesla loses billions of dollars every year so they've hardly proven anything to be economically viable. The reason electric cars are coming now is because battery technology has gotten to the point of them being viable cars albeit with a slightly premium cost.

Plus you have to look at the total operating cost. Electric cars need basically no maintenance while ICEs you have oil changes and brake changes plus a more complicated engine.

>They have absolutely changed the direction of television in pretty much all respects, from release cycle, to delivery to even marketing.

A lot of this is the classic play of using investor money to buy users. Netflix has been burning billions because they don't charge enough for the content they provide. That problem is getting worse as the streaming market becomes more of a primary distribution channel driving the cost of streaming rights up. We've already seen that happen as Netflix catalog shrinks despite all of their original programming.

Basically, Netflix's product is getting steadily worse while their costs are going through the roof.

This is a rare case where the insurance company is entirely blameless. According to the article, they paid much more than what experts say is reasonable for the care provided.

You pick back and forth though, right? How does one screw up the draft so badly as to have only 10% chance of winning?

>Many games are draft wins, i.e. a >90% chance of winning solely due to the heroes you've picked.

Can you explain?

Amazon Whole Foods delivery is the worst offender in this area. You finish your order and on the confirmation screen they add a tiny little line item for a preselected 10% tip. Suddenly your "free" delivery is now $15.

Whole Foods allowed Amazon to move into grocery delivery much quicker and bigger than they would have otherwise. That purchase made a lot of sense because even though Whole Foods is brick and mortar it extended Amazon's online offerings.

This is more of a head scratcher. The only thing I can think of is adding 1/2 tickets a month to Prime benefits. I suppose it also makes them more competitive in buying/producing content because they can get part of the theater sales.

It will have an impact, no doubt, but probably more like a few points higher inflation than a total crash. Either way, the point is that owing money in a currency you control is vastly different than owing money in a currency you don't.
