In this case, private equity isn’t the only villain.

Print journalism has been decimated over the last generation as it has become the expectation that the articles should be free. The money that used to support journalism is mostly gone.

The writer is focusing only in their own experiences, but the industry as a whole can’t support many people who blog as is it is their job.

Social media companies created algorithms to allow people to find content without having to look for it. This drove users and content creators to their sites and off the web.

For social media companies, a user’s value comes from having an account, so they have a vested interest in locking away content.

For users, they get content that never ends.

I don’t know. A lot of us here are autistic.

Looks like that was discussed in the article.

Killswitches may be common, but it is major security implications if infrastructure is sold with them without the buyer knowing about them, which appears to the case here.

It also makes a case to not buy hardware from China if their manufacturers install these killswitches and don’t notify their owners.

The issue with kicking someone out of the royal house completely is that they are highly incentivized to trade their fame for money. This can include sponsorships and tell all books.

By providing some economic support, it keeps a leash on Andrew formerly known as Prince.

I don’t see that working today.

If it is a house, get good insurance on it that will pay out on the cost of the structure. If they demolish the house, keep the land undeveloped and invest the insurance payout rather than rebuild. Taxes will be low because the land will have dropped in price thanks to the local community. Continue as the town has to raise taxes because they are destroying rateable properties and insurance rates rise due to the increased likelihood of property damage. Hope for either pushing the locals out or getting a municipal bankruptcy to put the town under state control.
