Eh, with that logic you could argue that all music streaming services are the same product with different front ends. Which, in a way, is kinda true…

Go existed for a few years before Now was released, and they were separate websites/apps. I’d say they qualify as different products. I would be interested to know if they shared any backend tech though. Would probably save a pretty penny if they shared a CDN.

HBO Go required a cable subscription and Now didn’t. I think both of them only had shows produced by HBO, so it was a much smaller collection.

Go was around for a few years as the only HBO streaming platform, but it came with your cable subscription, so you had to pay for a super expensive cable package to access it. That’s partly why Game of Thrones was the top pirated TV show ever, at least at the time.

They eventually released Now, which to my understanding was just Go but you could pay for it directly without a cable package. Both Go and Now existed simultaneously for a few years.

Eventually HBO Max was released, which is the platform we know today with a lot more than just HBO content. That one was renamed to just Max and is now being renamed again back to HBO Max because Max is a stupid name.

HBO Go and HBO Now were different products though

Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don’t live in an overpriced area.

Yeah, I’m sure this will be great because so many AI detection tools so far have been proven to be very reliable 🙄

There is nothing in the algorithm tied to BTC price. Sure, you’ll likely tend to get less miners as the price decreases, but that doesn’t guarantee that it’s profitable. Plenty of people, organizations, governments, etc do things that aren’t immediately profitable and may never be.

I’m in America and my therapist is $150 per session before insurance kicks in.

Is that yellow and red thing an indoor firepit? How does that work, is there a giant vent hood above it?

It’s secure messaging for the average joe. Organizations can achieve this compliance with an MDM, but I’m not asking Grandma to install my MDM on her phone to see my Wordle results. And sharing your device list (plus, you’d likely need ip location for this feature to be useful, in addition to interrogating your friends about what devices they use) with any random person you’re messaging is arguably more of a security threat than the risk of some moron linking any random device that asks to be linked.

LMAO this is soooo true. Recently went on a hiking trip at a national park where there were lines to get into the parking lot, but as soon as you stepped off the paved trail the crowd went down 90%, and a short walk later and we were the only ones in the whole park.

The other glaring weakness is that if you invite Putin to your group chat, Russia gets access to all of your messages!! /s (though, I guess it’s a real threat with this administration)

The housing market almost doubled prices during COVID. I don’t think it’s unexpected that prices would settle down and readjust in the years following.

1.7% YOY decrease is a bubble popping?

Short answer is there is no money anywhere, until the stock is sold. Just an asking price people are willing to pay and a selling price people are willing to sell at.

It doesn’t go anywhere since it was theoretical to begin with. Think of a video game. If you buy a game for $60, then resell it later for $30, technically you’ve lost $30. However, you could hold on to the game and maybe it becomes rare and you sell it later for $120 and turn a $60 profit!

Or, maybe the game’s resale price dips to $30, but you don’t sell it, then it later shoots up to $120 and you sell. When it was $30, you could misleadingly claim that you’ve “lost $30” on it, but you didn’t really, since you still own the game and in this case you actually sold it for a profit later.

The gain/loss is only realized when you sell the game, so whether you’d consider yourself a winner or loser would entirely depend on when you sell and how much you sell it for. Still sucks to see the value go down when you own it though, since it decreases your chances of making a profit and means you’d need to hold on to it longer if you want to turn a profit.

The stock market value (and companies values) is what it would be worth if 100% of it was sold at the current going rate. In reality, selling something actually lowers the price a little since it increases supply, so if 100% of any company/market were sold on the open market in a short amount of time, the price of each share would tank hard and the actual sale price would be much much lower than the initial “value” or market cap.

There are ways to make money when a stock’s price drops, puts and shorts are the two most common. But that’s out of the scope of the question you’re asking.
