Been trying to decide whether to do this myself, this really a dark pattern?
We're not asking until until they try to use the feature that requires location, but are using the additional pop-up. Rationale being that they probably want to allow it or they wouldnt be using app, and making it so they dont mistakenly deny and have to mess with setting is really more of a convenience.
But ya it does seem to go against the OS defined behavior.
It's only 7 recent shows [0]. Also, consider Netflix and Hulu aren't competitors. They offer different content, mostly. Hulu has more recent and a far larger back catalog of popular television shows. Netflix has more older movies, original content, and a sprinkling of older television shows.
I'm not defending Hulu, I don't have a subscription. Consider that it's a fraction of the price of cable which has commercials, even with the limited commercials for $11.99, it's quite the bargain. It's on demand too and supported by just about every recent smart TV or streaming device.
> While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.
How long till we reach the point where the only viable strategy against the enemy bot ai is to give full control to our bot ai? Even smallest delay would matter so too dangerous to have human in the loop.
Yeah, makes you wonder how much the psychological part affects you physically, and vice versa.
I often ask myself if the positive things about smoking were just delusions to justify feeding the nicotine addiction, or if the physical consumption was a product of my mind being convinced it was a good thing somehow.
In low doses (like smoking cessation meds rather than cigarettes) nicotine is a pretty effective occasional stimulant for someone who does not have a tolerance for the drug. https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine
To a new user, heroin is f'in amazing, so I hear. For an addict it just gets them back to normal.
Absolutely there's a reason people get addicted to cigs in the first place. But say, driving down a scenic road on nice day with window down, without even the slighted urge to light up a cig, is not something I would have imagined while still a nicotine addict. I mean I'll think about smoking a blunt sure, but that different.
Also glad I quit before all the e-cig stuff came out. If I was able to smoke AND breath prob woulda never got off.
